Captain America: The First Avenger

     Steve Rogers, the puniest kid to ever walk the streets of Brock land, wants to go to aid the american troops at the front. One problem, he's about a foot smaller than all of the soldiers and as all sorts of diseases like asthma so no medical doctor will pass him in to the army. Until Steve meets a scientist named, Dr. Abraham Erskine. Abraham admires Steve's bravery so he picks him to become the first Super Soldier. After a massive drug transfusion Steve grows a heck lot taller, stronger and faster. Captain America is born.
     This Marvel Universe film was fantastic. As patriotic (for Americans) as movies can go. Other than cap's undying love for his country, Captain America is a true hero. Selfless and truly noble. We have not seen a "hero" like that in a long time. Though no film is perfect. Many profanity's do mare the script, a tad of kissing and lots of war style violence. Aside from that "Captain America: The First Avenger" was great! An action-packed hero movie older kids and there parents will enjoy very much. So with all that said I'll give "Captain America 4 out of 5 stars for personal enjoyment.

The Adventures of Robin Hood--Book Review

     Robert Fitzooth of Locksley Hall, Earl of Huntington, 100% hates Price John and all of his followers. So he attacks his agents and knights, take there money and gives it to the poor yeoman that the Prince persecutes. So in turn Prince John make Robert an outlaw and Robin Hood is born... Robin retreats to Sherwood Forest where he begins the great task of collecting his merry men and lady. He embarks om many daring missions as he faces of against, Sir Guy of Gisborne and the infamous Sheriff of Nottingham.
 
     The Adventures of Robin Hood is a great book! Well written and full of excitement! It was very sad at the end of the book when King Richard and Robin Hood die and Prince John becomes king. A tragic end to the book and I do not think that was necessary. Aside from that the book was great! With an amazing cast of heroes and villains. Good locations and realistic historical setting. The book very inspiring to not quit even when the odds seem hopeless. The many adventures Robin goes trough show heroism, bravery and an undying love for his friends.
     So with this all said I think The Adventures of Robin Hood is at a reading age for any one 10+. And for my personal enjoyment I will give the book 4 out of 5 stars.

    This film does well with rearising the world of Cars, though none of the characters form Cars apear in this spin-off the animation remanes the same and the quest for being a champion has not failed. This film was a great watch and all the members of your clan woll enjoy the spin-off to Cars. This feel good, underdog story* has great massages about pesaverence and good friend ships. This film did not dissapoint one bit, a great watch and highly recomended.
     So inconclusion I will give Planes, 5 out of 5 stars.

And Books Too!...

     So the blog is no longer JUST going to have movie reviews. It will also have BOOKS!!! I hope everyone enjoys this addition to my blog!

Epic

     M.K. is skeptical on going to her dad's house after her mom died. It has been so long! And the only memory she has of her dad is his delusional belief in a tiny forest community which he is determent to find. And well of course she finds herself in this tiny wood land community which is being threatened by forest destroyers called "Bogens".

     After reading the title you may think this film is a truly epic, swooping film but the hard truth is well it's not. The movie is more like a family film like Cars or Daddy Daycare than a truly epic film like The Lord of the Rings, but don't get me wrong I really good movie and I very much enjoyed it. The film was very well voiced and the creators of this film did a very good job making it with the humor of Ice Age and not with the disappointment of Rio. This film was very well animated and a good cast of characters.
     This film is great for the whole of your popcorn munching gang. The creators gave a good massage about taking care of the environment and not overemphasizing the environment massage like the movie Dr Suess' The Lorax. So I will give epic 5 out of 5 stars for my personal enjoyment.
