Tag: Dedicated to the movie adaptation of the Fantastic Four's Human Torch, portrayed by Chris Evans.
I was very skeptical about Chris Evans' choice for the role, I couldn't understand why he had been chosen for the ol' matchstick Johnny, and looked forward this movie to be out. I exited the teather excited, because Johnny was *teh* comics version, and Chris... well... he was simply *him*!

Tag: Dedicated to the movie adaptation of the Fantastic Four's enemy Doctor Doom, portrayed by Julian McMahon.
Victor is pure evil genius, so portray him believably could have turned out an epic fail but... yes, Julian did a good job: I'm pleased for his choice for the character, because he physically met quite perfectly Victor.
The movie adaptation of Doctor Doom was pure brilliance to me.

Tag: Dedicated to the main character of Star Wars saga.
What's great about Anakin is that he's a real, complex hero whom, unlike most of the movie heroes we see on screen, is *human* in the first place. Every emotion that fills him, every fear he feels and even the anger and hatred he shows during his life aren't masked or suppressed - making him a very real man in a world where half of the characters are unbelievable in their (lack of) humanity. You can totally feel like you are Anakin and you start making questions as "what would I do if I were Anakin?" and such; this doesn't happen always, with a fictional character.
He's generous, ready to put his own life at risk for the sake of helping and his whole big heart, alongside with his fears and loneliness, lead him to Palpatine first and then to the evil. As Darth Vader he's still a charming, even more interesting character full of facets, torn between his loyalty to the Dark Side and the love for the son he didn't know he still had - well, Darth Vader has a big place in my heart so I should stop myself before I write down an essay.
In short, Anakin is just one of those characters that can survive in your heart strong as ever even if you move away from the fandom - as I did in the last couple of years..

Sir Ian McKellen is actually the best actor who could have been chosen for this part. I mean, he's seems like Magnus jumped out of the strips and became real.
This Magnus is the perfect opposite of the idealist Charles Xavier, he knows there will be a war between Sapiens and Superior, and he want make sure the Mutant side will be the winner. And I really prefer him to the ol' buddy Chuck. :P

He should have deserved more time on the screen, but the movie was all about Wolverine so I can't really complain about the amount of scenes Wade got. :P
Anyway, even though they shut his mouth too early (what a crime!), the character was enjoyable, and Ryan Reynolds portrayed him really, really well. And those slash hint like the one in the elevator scene cracked me up even more! XD
Oh, and by thw way, according to Cable & Deadpool #2: "Hey, if you looked like Ryan Reynolds crossed with a Shar-pei, you'd understand!" =))

Tag: Devoted to the mutant Angel from X-Men: the last stand.
When I was looking at the extras contents of X2 dvd I got a study of metal winged Warren, I suppose as an Arma X experiment. You can understand how I've been pissed off!
And then, the announcement, and first news: Angel would have been in the last movie. Ok, I said, let's see him. I never liked the actor, he's *not* Warren. I always imagined him played by some really handsome actor like Paul Walker or a supermodel like canadian beauty Gabriel Aubry. Yeah, Gabriel would have been the perfect choice, because it seems Warren alive! If Warren *would* have been the *comics* one, one of the first X-Men, off course.
Not some kind of guy who's trying to escape from his mutation...
Anyway... I have loved even *this* Warren... but.. he needed more space in the movie. I mean... he was in the first promo shootings, and in every trailer... I thought he'd have a very big role in the plot...
No, only some kind of cameo... *sigh*
