The Amazing Spiderman (2012)

Credit

The amazing spider-man is the first Spider-man film which stars Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker. It is a reboot to its predecessors' Spider-man, Spider-man 2 and Spider-man 3.

Unlike the other Spider-man films, this one has changed certain parts of the storyline for the better. Changes in the storyline included that Peter Parker did not get web powers and he must create the web lines himself. This keeps it original to the cartoons of The Amazing Spider-man.

Peter Parker finds an old briefcase which has some of his father's forgotten documents, he pursues his findings which leads him to Dr. Curt Connors. Later on Peter realises that Dr. Connors is misusing the equipment which is turning him into a giant lizard.The lizard causes destruction in New York, with little knowledge of the lizards origin, the police cant do much to stop him. Can Spider-man save the day before more people get hurt?

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?

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.
