Thor (2011)

Credit

Thor is the mighty god of thunder; he is the prince in his realm Asgard and as he is about to be proclaimed king, when frost giants interrupt by breaching into Asgard and trying to steal. Thor arrogance sends him in a revenge rage and uses the wormhole to go to the frost giants' realm to attack. His father is outraged that the truce has been broken and Thor gets exiled from Asgard to Earth where he finds it hard to live without his powers.

He eventually falls in love with a scientist called Jodie Foster and hears of the trouble his brother is causing in Asgard as he has become the new king of Asgard due to their fathers sudden illness.

Thor becomes more motivated to find a way to get his powers back, along with powers come Thor's mighty hammer. But when Loki discovers Thor has reabsorbed his powers he starts to act irrationally and sends a war machine from Asgard to Earth to destroy Thor and anything else in its path, will Thor find a way to stop Loki.

1.  http://www.giantsizemarvel.com/ is very nice blog to go through, it is easy reading as many of the posts are no more than three lines and have many pictures.

2.  http://www.dccomics.com/blog is the official blog for DC comics, it holds the correct information for the DC company and  any rumours get filtered out.

3.  http://www.superherohype.com/ is great if you like anything that's hero related, from James Bond to Star Wars and all the typical comic book heroes, the variety is good for finding something everyone may like.

4.  http://www.superherostuff.com/blog/movies/upcoming-superhero-movies-201020112012/ is a good blog if you want to be ahead of the curb and find out what films are under production and when their getting released.

Watchmen (2009)

Credit

Watchmen is set in 1985, where superheroes exist and wars between nations leave the city in a dark lifestyle. It starts with the death of Edward Blake who is beaten up in his house and then thrown of out his window after a brutal battle.

One of his colleagues Rorschach discovers that Blake is the Comedian and comes to the theory that someone is trying to take out the Watchmen. he tries to warn the other retired Watchmen before its too late.

I personally believe that the trailers made the film seem more epic than it is. Also the length of the film drags on, as the storyline contains lots of dialogue.
