So now we see say goodbye to three more movies, here's a bit commentary on two of them because I've never watched Spider-Man 3.

X2 would be my favourite of the original so kind of gutted it's the first one out guys The new characters were all a treat, Nightcrawler especially, I mean that opening sequence in the White House is pure bliss, and even minor baddies like Lady Deathstrike still seemed threatening, especially because she was on an even footing really with Wolverine. Even seeing little cameos from mutant children in the school is a treat to watch, it had a great plot I thought right up until the end where Jean sacrificed herself which we know leads on to her being the Dark Phoenix. I'd have put this in my top five of the whole list so a bit sad to see it at #11 here.

Same goes for another underrated film in the Fantastic Four sequel, I'm a MASSIVE fan of both films, for me they got the action/humour and silliness in all the right ratios to make the film completely enjoyable. There were so many great moments from the little things like Sue Storm focusing on her spot on her wedding day to the Human Torch getting their powers when he touches them which was played so well when we get a laugh from Evans dressed up like the Thing, and then them ultimately using that to try and get the Silver Surfer. I'm a big fan of the casting of the Human Torch for Evans, he got the cheeky thing completely right for me. I like Alba in her role too a lot, I've never really read a FF comic so I don't know how she compares to that but I thought she did a way better job than Kate Mara in the recent film, same goes for Gruffud compared to Teller in my opinion. Also, the Silver Surfer just looked and sounded so mysterious and cool so yeah, I'd actually say I prefer this to the original
