The Walking Dead (2010)
One of the best shows on TV at the moment!!
The Walking Dead is one of those shows that comes along every now and then that you know will be brilliant even if you have just watched the opening scene of the first episode. AMC seem to be masters at this as they did exactly the same with Breaking Bad. The show opens with the main character (unnamed during the scene) shooting a zombified little girl in the head. Without giving the viewer any other information and using minimal dialogue, the tone for the show is set within the first 3 minutes. As the show goes on through multiple seasons, the story arcs remain intense and the characters remain interesting. However this wouldn't have worked if the show wasn't written brilliantly and acted amazingly. In short the show is something any fan of horror and drama should watch (as long as you aren't squeamish when it comes to brutal violence and gore)
Fear the Walking Dead (2015)
Whats with all the haters?
Fear the Walking Dead keeps on getting bad reviews because people keep on comparing it to it's parent show: The Walking Dead. Now I suppose this is going to happen to a spin off show, but it isn't really fair. To get it out of the way; no, this show isn't as good as TWD but that doesn't mean it is a bad show. People were expecting more of the same but it is good that this show is different. Its about the build up, rather than the aftermath. Although the acting isn't top notch, it is believable. The story (in my opinion) is just as interesting as TWD's. Also you have to remember that the show is only in its early stages. It isn't as developed as TWD. I am going to keep watching and I recommend that any fan of TWD or even people that didn't like TWD watch it too because it is different enough to not compare it to its parent while still being set in the same fictitious universe.
X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)
Not as good as First Class and Days of Future Past but still worth your time. Don't listen to the critical reviews!!
I've got to be honest. This was the comic book movie I was least looking forward to this year but I went to see it anyway because the trailers made it look decent. I didn't go in expecting much but I was surprised when I really enjoyed this movie. It is no where near as good as First Class and Days of Future Past but it is still worth your time. Apocalypse was a great villain and Oscar Isaacs played him brilliantly. I also didn't mind the costume that much (It could have been better though). Most of the cast was really good in the film (My favourite being Evan Peters as Quicksilver). However unfortunately Jennifer Lawrence was not at her best in this film. She just didn't have the enthusiasm and looked bored for most of the film. I also didn't really like the actress that played Jean Grey. I'm not sure what her name is but to me she was just kind of wooden and boring to watch. I do wish that they could have developed the horseman though (Not counting Magneto) because it seemed like they didn't have much reason to suddenly be bad (Especially Psylocke). The things this film sets up also gets you quite exited for future instalments. I definitely think it is a good thing that they seem to be re-doing The Dark Phoenix Saga and possibly introducing one of my favourite X-Men villains: Mr Sinister. Overall this film is enjoyable and any comic book fan will most likely enjoy it because it is still better than Batman Vs Superman.
