So I went to London recently and I'd saved up a lot of money for the shops that we don't have up here. Turns out we decided to do more than spend more so I had some money left when I came home. That is where these three DVDs came in to play.
I saw each one of these movies twice at the cinema. I wanted each one as they came out on DVD too but with my London trip looming I wanted to save my money for that. I'm SO glad I had enough money at the end to buy these.
Iron Man 3
This movie, for me, was brilliant. My dad didn't like it even though he is a huge comic fan especially of Iron Man and Spiderman! He said there wasn't enough action... I can kind of see where he is coming from but I still thoroughly enjoyed it. I liked seeing Tony with anxiety. It made me remember that he is real and human. Don't even get me started on the bad guys. The mandarin.. GENIUS. I know it was a big movie when it came out so you've probably seen/heard enough to make you see or not see it already but hey ho it's a favourite of mine.
Olympus Has Fallen
WHERE DO I START! This movie was a 'meh that looks good, let's go!' kind of movie. The first part where they attack the white house is the first EVER movie where I felt odd inside. I've seen other movies with mass murder like that but it never looked so real and the innocent people never looked so innocent. It really took me by surprise and moved me. Then it kept getting better. I'd heard it was like die hard in the white house. Which I guess it is BUT there's not a problem with that. It is a good action movie by it's own right and just because die hard did it first doesn't mean no one else can do it. Please do not let people saying that put you off it :)!
Star Trek Into Darkness
I'd never seen any Star Trek movie before I saw this one! As soon as I got home afterwards I ordered the first one online! I just thought it was brilliant! The humor was spot on and I kind of fell in love with Chris Pine. I thought the bad guy was brilliant (first time I'd seen Cumberbatch). I just highly recommend this movie and just ignore all the 'geek' stigma that revolves around Star Trek because there was nothing geeky about this movie.
I also just want to add on that I watched Warhorse last week and was highly amused by Khan and Loki being in it together.
What are you favourite DVD purchases of late?
