Wolverine: The Last Of The Original X-Men

The X-Men storyline has been around since 2000. By making these movies, the actors and audience created a world filled with love, hate, and fear, plus really cool mutants. Sadly, the original storyline has come to a close with the death of Wolverine. They dragged out Wolverine's story quite a bit. They didn't quite express who Logan truly is and didn't show the audience more of the story. Today we will be discussing and critiquing the Wolverine storyline.

When we first see Wolverine, it is not his origin story but rather a push into the mutant world but meeting Rogue and Professor's Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters. This movie starts the world of superheroes. It opened questions like: How did Wolverine become who he is? Who will Jean choose? What will happen to the students? What is the feud going on between Professor X and Magneto? This is the start of the original trilogy.

The second and third movies come around and I don't think it is what many fans thought it was going to be. There are lots of questions up in the air and the storyline doesn't really progress as the movies go on. By this time, Wolverine has become a fan favorite. He is the main character of the stories and revolves around him. Still, the movies briefly go into his backstory which keeps the audience guessing and wondering. He does have flashbacks and Professor X tries to get him to remember but Logan can't remember anything. He backstory is still a mystery.

They tried to reveal Logan's origin story in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. They show a little bit of his childhood, his life through wars with his brother and what ultimately lead to him getting his claws. They tried to bring in other superheroes like Gambit and Deadpool into the story but it didn't quite work out. The story kind of made sense and the reason for making the movie was there but the execution of the movie wasn't where it should have been.

Where our trail ends is Logan. This movie skipped a lot of information about what happened to all the mutants? What bad thing did Professor X do? How come nothing makes sense anymore? We have a lot of questions but the storyline was very well done and the execution made this one of the best movies. We see Logan get a happy ending, to an extent, and see his bloodline continue. There is still hope. Hope that started with Logan.

Ready Player One Based on a book authored by Earnest Cline, Ready Player One is similar to the storyline of the Matrix, yet different enough to warrant its own attention.

Five Family Movies That Will Bring Your Family Closer (Ezine #2)

Going to the movies can take on many roles, some of which are a bit more important to others. While most people might think that a movie being a cultural phenomenon or a movie of a generation might be pretty important, nearly everyone will discount how important family movies can be in general. Depending on who you ask, this may be more of a commentary on how society is changing, but it might just be that family movies are made for only some members of the family. Think about the last time you sat and watched a movie with your spouse and children. Was it animated? Were the parental figures just a bit too out of touch to seem real? Did the CGI overload make it hard to even look at the screen? As time has gone on, what makes for a family movie has really been more about making a movie that keeps a kids attention long enough to give Mom and Dad a breather. Whatever happened to the type of movie that made the family feel closer to each other? You know, the kind of movie that taught an

Edward Norton vs. Mark Ruffalo: The Hulk

Our superheroes have grown and become big names from Iron Man to Thor. Every superhero, who has a movie or is a supporting character, is known in the superhero universe. One age-old question within that universe involves the Incredible Hulk. This character's transformation has been an interesting one, to say nonetheless. We will be looking back and comparing the different Hulks. Edward Norton did a decent job at portraying the Hulk. This character isn't the easiest to play and does involve a lot of work. He definitely tried, but the storyline and character development didn't play in his favor. The timing of when the movie was released is also a playing a factor. This movie came out before the Marvel universe actually became a phenomenon. That didn't allow the studio and surrounding storylines to further his development. This movie was not a part of the growing universe but rather another superhero movie. Mark Ruffalo had a lot more background and information to work
