Iron-Man 2 (2010)

Credit

Iron-Man 2 was immediately announced production by Marvel, after the success of Iron-Man in May 2008, being the second part of a trilogy. The plot starts with the world finding out that Iron-Man is Tony Stark. The news hits Russia where Ivan Vanko hears Iron-Man's true identity after the death of his father and starts to build his own arc reactor.

It is then followed by the government trying to force Stark Industries to hand over his technology to them, Tony Stark refuses by proving that competitors that are trying to copy this technology are decades behind.

The palladium core in the arc reactor that powers his armour and keeps him alive is slowly poisoning his blood. Stark starts to become reckless and reacts without thinking as he fails to find a replacement to keep him alive, and choosing to not tell anyone about his condition makes life harder for him.

Vanko attacks Stark during a formula one race, using his own reactor which powers whip like energy weapons, Stark defeats Vanko and learns his origins and also that Vanko is the son of his father's old arc project, although Vanko is captured, is it over?

Spiderman 3 (2007)

Credit

Spiderman 3 is last Spiderman film with Toby Maguire. Again it is the furthest in its storyline yet it has been followed by a prequel of The Amazing Spiderman which I will review at a later date.

Spiderman 3 is based on a strange black entity from outer space which finds a host in Peter Parker. After the shock and confusion of the black entity fusing with him he realises that the alien entity has also changed his personality to be cockier and raised his ego.

Peter Parker's best friend Harry Osborn still suspects Peter for the death of his father Norman Osborn, although there is an unusual twist as Harry bumps his head in a fight with Spiderman and forgets his revenge and that Peter Parker is Spiderman.

X - Men: The Last Stand (2006)

Credit

X - Men: The Last Stand was the ending of the trilogy, although it was not the last instalment of the X-Men films, as it's been followed by prequels of X-Men Origins: Wolverine and X-Men: First Class, X-Men: Last Stand is still the furthest in the mutant world storyline.

X-Men: Last Stand is about a 'cure' being found for all mutants, followed by the government developing the cure into weapons against the mutants. Magneto forms allies with other powerful mutants to go against the new regimes around the cure, but Magneto and his team must go up against Professor Charles Xaiver and his team of Wolverine, Storm and many more. Inevitable they have a massive standoff at the end. Mutant War. Brilliant.

Welcome to Hero World

Welcome to the world of superheroes, I will be exploring the films where geeks, scientists and normal humans get powers through some amazing way, whether its a solar storm or a spider bite. I will be reviewing and summarising my favourite superhero films and see what parts of the story line have been kept original and what parts have been changed for the big screen.

We are all heroes in our own way and if we carry these attributes of determination, persistence, motivation and ambition we can achieve our full potential and achieve whatever we put our hearts and mind too. We are all Heroes. Which hero are you?
