Taken 2
This is my first movie review. And I'm glad I went to go see Taken 2. Overall it is a good movie. But there are few problems I had with it. My number 1 problem was it repeated it's self. Usually in movies when they say the same thing over and over again it drives me nuts. But it was done so well I loved it. But if you hate movies that repeat it's self you will most likely not enjoy this movie. But it didn't bother me that much. Another thing that bothered me was the overall story. The story line was amazing, but it was the way they did it that bothered me. The way they did the characters involved with the story line bothered me. If you want to see this movie because you hope to see Liam Neeson a lot, don't get your hopes up. Those were pretty much the only things i had wrong with it. The one thing I loved the most about it was it had a FABULOUS script. It was beautifully written and it kept me interested and I wanted to what was going to happen next. To add to that they way that the camera shot each scene was spectacular. The acting was by far some of the bet I've seen this year. Liam Neeson playing a CIA agent was spectacular. Maggie Grace did beyond spectacular in this film. Overall I rate this 7.7/10. One of my favorite movies of the year.

Best of Marvel 2008 until now
For my first movie review type thing i am going to list my favorite Marvel movies from 2008 until now to see if i'm good as a film critic.
#11 Punisher: War Zone
I put this movie at number 11 for a reason. It was really cheesy acting and in my personal opinion, the acting was not that great.
#10 Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance
The only reason this is above Punisher is because of the Ghost Rider story. It is wonderful. You will stay on the edge of your seat. Nicolas Cage is good in some movies. But not this one.
# 9 The Incredible Hulk
Ever since I've seen the Avengers I realized how much Mark Ruffalo kicks Edward Norton's butt playing Bruce Banner or the Hulk. The Hulk is not my favorite hero. So this didn't appeal to me. If you enjoy the Hulk story you will definately have this higher on your list.
# 8 X Men Origins: First Class
This is where it gets hard to put movies into place. But First Class has to go at number eight. This is another situation like The Incredible Hulk. The concept does not appeal to me. But this film really surprised me. There is a lot more action then i hoped for. If you like action and you like X Men this will probably be on number 5 or higher on you list. A very well done movie.
# 7 Iron Man
When you see this at number seven you might think i'm crazy. But it was well, boring. All it did was setting up for Iron Man 2. He made his suit, he had some humor but over all a very boring film.
# 6 X Men Origins: Wolverine
Saying his only power is claws puts this at number six. I was disappointed that this didn't have that much humor. In fact it did not have any at all. You would think this would have humor like other Marvel Studio films. But it didn't. Hugh Jackman kicked but as Wolverine. It was not good enough to make it into my top 5.
# 5 Iron Man 2
This is where it was almost impossible to put movies into place. But I had to put Iron Man 2 at number five. This was a lot better then the first one. It had lots of action and it was a near perfect story line. The only problem I had with it was they didn't give Mickey Rourke a.k.a. Ivan a.k.a. Whiplash a big part. Usually villains have bigger parts in movies. His just was not that big of a part. Other then that it was a near perfect movie and a near perfect story line. The acting was incredible
# 4 Thor
Thor is probably the most creative character in comics. I saw this movie about 6 times in the theaters. I kept wanting to go back to get more of it. It had every thing in this film. It had comedy, wonderful acting and actors or actresses, and it had a near perfect story line. In fact it was perfect. No matter what type of film you like, this will most likely be in your top 5 for sure.
# 3 The Amazing Spider-Man
Let me start out by saying this, This movie kicked the old Spiderman's butt. First of Andrew Garfield is million times better then Toby. This one stuck more to the original comics then the original trilogy. The love story was even better. This had so much comedy I saw it nine times in the theaters. The only reason why it is not number one or two is because the story line didn't engage me as much as number one or two.
# 2 Captain America: The First Avenger
I freaking love this move. A hero that represents our country in WWII. It is awesome. The story line engaged me like no other movie. I just wanted to know what Captain America would do next in the war against the Nazis. I liked this movie because it taught every one that you could be the under dog and still come out on top.
# 1 The Avengers
If this is not at your number one place, you are the most crazy person ever to step foot on this planet. I'm not the only one to say this. Go look at all the box office records it holds. This movie literally has every thing Humor, wonderful actors, and each actor had about the same screen time. This is by far the best movie of the year.
