In my opinion this is the best Marvel film made till date, even better than the Avengers. Now, I say that because of what Gunn had to work with, and how he not only made ‘Guardians’ take off, but how he made it soar. You will definitely want to catch this one, trust me, it’s going to make your favourite list too. Also, don’t forget to wait for the post-credit scene.

Sequels are always tricky, but the fun filled ride, experiments a whole lot in this one, and honestly that’s what works. It’s not like they left out the clichés​, they purposely put them in with great context, forcing you to laugh out loud. Throughout the film, you’ll find references to pop-culture, and the franchise in general.

The first film gave us a look at how the apes would eventually rise, while this one brilliantly explores their evolution and their ultimate dominance which will happen in the next film. This is one summer film you might not want to miss.

All in all, the film is a great step in the right direction. If the teaser shown in the end credits is any indication, the franchise is far from over but with this film as a base, there’s hope for the X-Men yet. The bold move of combining the cast of the original film series with that of First Class seems to have paid of well, making this easily the best X-Men film to date, even better than X-2: X-Men United.

The film is a well written, true to the comics, adaptation of one of one of Marvel’s on the ground soldiers. Fans of the first movie, and superhero movies in general should definitely go for this one

…doesn’t engage you enough to leave an impression. The film is entertaining and does have its moments, but it isn’t engaging enough and in the end it’s still highly forgettable.

Overall the film is by far one of Marvel’s best films, the cast delivers a strong and engaging performance and the movie will definitely be enjoyed by comic book fans and non-fans alike.

The film exhibits a substantially better story-line, great performances from the cast, a slew of familiar faces from the first film and obviously excellent visuals.

Oscar worthy this is not, nor might you remember it years later, but for now the movie is a fun way to kill a couple of hours.

The movie is a far cry from ‘Schindler’s List’ but it’s by no means a bore. The pacing of the movie is fast and crisp, at no time will you be uninterested. The allure of the movie resides with the ability of the script to keep you guessing.

What makes ‘Dallas Buyers Club’ truly brilliant is that it becomes a roaring crowd-pleaser even while dealing with a slow and morbid topic like death due to disease. The film achieves this feat by making sure that none of the main characters accept the role of a victim, least of all Ron Woodroof played by Matthew McConaughey. Although the film is still one of the dark horses next to the other big names in the Oscar race, this is one film you will not want to miss, sheer brilliance all the way.
