Joe Hughes' Film reviews

I recently re-watched The Amazing Spider-Man 2 as it was the 6 year anniversary of the UK release on April 16th(Saw it on the day). I still enjoy it to this day, no matter the flaws. It's a visually stunning film with CGI that still after 6 YEARS, hasn't been topped. Even after Marvel Studios acquired the rights back in 2015. One of the things that breaks my heart everytime I watch it, besides Andrew Garfield's performance during Gwen's death, is the setting-up of The Sinister Six at the end as well as hinting at them during the credits. With the anniversary of TASM 2 a week ago, what better occasion to fancast what could've been than right now. This "casting..." didn't take that long to do. Picked the actors and done the edits within probably 2 hours. Compared to The Avengers re-casting (Which you can check out, here ) from 2 weeks ago which took a few days, that's an incredibly short time. Since Green Goblin an

This is a ranking of my favourite moving moments in bio-pics. This could be during the middle of the film or towards the end. Please note: This is not taking into account how historically accurate the moments are, just simply how emotionally powerful the scene is With that being said, here is a list of the top 10 moving moments in bio-pics, in my opinion: #10: Hacksaw Ridge Desmond Doss portrayed by Andrew Garfield The first film I watched during the month of April 2020, at home. Hacksaw Ridge is one of those films that shows the true side of war, specifically WWII. The film follows Desmond Doss, a Christian combat medic who refused to carry a firearm or weapon of any kind. One of his courageous acts of bravery was rescuing a staggering 75 of his fellow soldiers who were still on the battlefield of Okinawa, wounded and unable to move. Risking his own life without bareing a gun to protect himself from the Japanese soldiers, he repeatedly uttered the words, 'Lo

This week's "casting..." is a little different to last week's. This time we will be re-casting a film from 8 years ago. I have decided to just re-cast the first five members(also Loki), as Infinity War/EndGame's hero count is too large, it'd take me over two weeks just to think of who to cast, let alone doing the edits. With re-casting, it'd be the same story, same release date, only with a completely different cast to the original. With that being said here are my re-castings for MCU's Avengers: Javier Bardem as Iron Man/Tony Stark Chris Pine as Captain America/Steve Rogers Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as Thor, son of Odin James McAvoy as Hulk/Bruce Banner Sam Worthington as Hawkeye Natalie Dormer as Black Widow Joaquin Phoenix as Loki

Welcome to a new series I  am starting,   called "Casting: ..." The castings will range from new MCU/DC films, live action adaptations of certain franchises or recasting an already finished film. Today's post is dedicated to MARVEL Studios' X-Men, which is yet to begin pre-production. Some notes on this casting: This interpretation of the X-Men are a team immeadiately, no one is joining halfway through the film or at the beginning.  Wolverine is in his mid-50s/early 60s and is more of a mentor to the younger students than a leader. Storm is the established captain of the team. I'm ignoring that some actors in this casting have already appeared in the MCU, this is a simple 'What if...' I made the edits, each within 10 minutes, so some might not look better than others. I am using the mobile app, PicsArt to make the edits With them notes out the way, on with the casting: Zoe Saldana as Storm (Saldana is Gam
