I just saw this film, and didn't realize until seeing the credits that it was based on a previous film titled "Intouchables". It made me want to see that film. Well, I also noticed while going on here, imdb, that this film was made in 2017. Then, reading some reviews, which I found some to be very negative and pretentious towards this film and only because it is based on a previous film. Now, because of those negative reviews and pretentious people telling others to see the "original" instead, I don't even want to see the previous film anymore. So to those people I say, spread your negativity somewhere else, because you still have your film to love whether this one was made or not.

Marvel's Annihilation was pretty ambitious for a Marvel Studios film. I'm happy to see they decided to make a film about what Jane Foster has been up to since she & Thor broke up, but this was kind of a weird direction for her story to go. I like too that they showed how she & Valkyrie met, but it would have been cool if they both discovered that they both knew Thor and spent time with him. They would have an instant bond and something to relate in each other, but the film makers decided to go a different direction and you have to respect that. I was wondering though, why they just didn't get The Avengers to go into the shimmer, but maybe that would have been too easy and lazy story telling. Anyway, it was another good film from Marvel and I loved the end credit Iron Man scene.

I just got back from seeing this and I'm awestruck! I heard in an interview with Bryan Singer, the director of this film, the original film that started it all, 2000's X-Men & the sequel X2: X-Men United, that in this film, he was trying to tie everything that had happened after the first two movies and fix the problems. In that I say he did a spot on job and bravo! If you are a fan of these films, I guarantee this will be your favorite of the franchise! It is so good! The action is wonderful, the story is intriguing to follow and the film looks great and sounds awesome. I'm one of those film fans that noticed that the first three films in the franchise, start out in the same way in that after the 20th Century Fox logo comes on and then fades to black, the 'X' in Fox stays a bit longer before eventually fading too. I was hoping since Singer was back with the franchise, that this little treat to the fans would return too, and it does! I was so pumped when I saw this, not to mention the use of Ottman's X2 theme towards the end of the 20th Century Fox logo as well. Oh and I loved, LOVED, Quicksilver's scene! Practically sole the show! :)
