Marvel's The Avengers is by far the best superhero movie ever, with fully fleshed out characters and a screen dominating performance from Tom Hiddleston. Living up to the hype in every way, this is one of those movies that once it's finished you feel pumped, and you can't get the words out to describe how awesome it is. The scale is huge enough to leave you breathless, Joss Whedon's skill to handle a movie this big is unparalleled and impressive. He has the balance of action, story and characters just right, I feel if any other director attempted this it wouldn't be as good. The 3D is simply mind blowing, the clarity and effects completely knock many other 3D releases out the park. This incredible effect brings the action and locations to life literally flinging them out of the screen, you'll find yourself jaw dropped and gob-smacked every time the camera shot changes, it's Hulk smashing goodness. And not forgetting the excellent acting, the Marvel Action Hero cast rule the screen, you can't fault this movie, Hawkeye is easily my favourite. The action is intense, explosive, mind blowing, every dramatic word you can think of and the final battle is one of the most epic climax' in a movie, in some respects it's just like the ending to Transformers Dark of The Moon, a visual assault of giant proportions bringing a city to it's knees where the characters so effortlessly use their powers and skills to defeat the enemy. The Avengers is the best action assemble since The Expendables.

Milla Jovovich is back as the ultimate female action hero in "Resident Evil: Retribution", a brilliant addition to the Zombie-Slaying franchise. Some may think this franchise has lost it's way but there is a neat twist added to this instalment which will take you by surprise and keeps things fresh (The film is actually set in artificially controlled environments)

The 3D effects are perfection:- Debris, zombie limbs, gun barrels, bullets and numerous objects soar out the screen at wild speeds, and spectacular depth effects enable the landscape to stretch far into the screen, leaving you jaw dropped, Paul W.S Anderson proves yet again that he is the master of 3D, action scenes have never looked so good! Retribution sees Project Alice continue her battle against Umbrella, who have built a giant facility underwater to further test the deadly T-Virus. Using the virus, Umbrella manipulate the world around her and turn people against Alice, most of whom she used to work with, forcing her to up her game in her mission to finish them once and for all. The cloning plot allows Rodriguez, Salmon and Fehr to reprise their roles, although they don't have much dialogue they still prove they are totally badass! There are a lot of cool scenes and twists, but nothing beats the opening of Retribution, it's like watching 3D action-movie perfection unfold onscreen: All edited to go in reverse, Umbrella reign hell on the Arcadia ship with explosive results, whilst playing in the background is an epic soundtrack composed by Tomandandy. Then there's the fight in the Tokyo Corridor of Light, which features some of the most spectacular fight choreography I've ever seen. The Executioners make a welcome return, ready to chop up more objects in their way, this movie echoes past aspects of previous films in the RE franchise.

With near perfect 3D, cool characters, mind-blowing fight sequences, stunning visuals, a rocking soundtrack and a wicked punch up finale, Retribution is a soaring comeback that hits hard and stands tall in the franchise, it's one of those movies you can watch over and over again.

Exhilarating, mind-blowing and absolutely breathtaking, Total Recall is the ultimate sci-fi action movie. Colin Farrell stars as Douglas Quaid, a factory worker who visits Rekall, a revolution company who can implant fake memories of a life their clients wish they had. Quaid's dreams of becoming a super-spy soon become real as he is forced to go on the run and the line between what's real and what's not blurs. What follows is a heart-pounding chase movie that spans across the stunningly created world of the "UFB" and "The Colony", with landscape visual effects that are the best I have ever seen, you will be fully immersed into the world of Recall.

The plot is gripping and smart, and there are plenty of twists thrown in along with many mind games, but the action sequences are undeniably the best parts, each of them are expertly crafted and jaw dropping from start to finish. The Hover Car sequence moves so fast you feel part of the chase, and the elevator scene is epic as the Quaid and Melina jump from unbelievable heights to escape capture. Thankfully the characters don't fall back behind the action, I prefer Farrell over Schwarzenegger's original Quaid, Farrell seems more realistic and vulnerable whereas Arnie will always be Terminator to me, an unbreakable machine. The supporting cast are excellent, they all seem fitted to the film so well, but it's fair to say that the film really gets going when Kate Beckinsale turns to that sexy British accent and reveals herself to Quaid "I'm UFB police intel, assigned to play you're wife, 6 weeks ago I didn't even know you!". Every single camera shot of her is hot, and the sinister and evil facial expressions she pulls are awesomely sexy, she single handedly propels this movie, a one-woman killing machine filled with motivation to kill her target, even though she defies her leader's order.

Len Wiseman's excellent cast and superb direction all blend together very nicely, along with a haunting and futuristic soundtrack that fits so well with the on-screen action, especially during the Hover-Car chase and Elevator sequence, it sounds amazing. The cast are spectacular, with Kate Beckinsale totally standing out the most, the special effects are the best I've ever seen bringing the adrenaline filled chase sequences to life, Total Recall is action perfection from top to bottom.

Nothing annoys me more in horror movies when ridiculous amounts of flashbacks and memories are thrown in, just for the sake of trying to create scares or sinister images, when really it justs cheapens the overall product. The Omen does this too many times on top of already weak scares. The cast do what they can with what they are given but their performances eventually descend into unmotivated sludge, this doesn't help when the story is already sludge.

Melissa George and Ryan Reynolds are two immensely likeable leads whose performances are pretty good, but The Amityville Horror has nothing else to offer. The scares are worn out and there's too many pointless shocks added in so the atmosphere is affected, nothing settles in, dread and fear is totally absent and predictability takes over.
