The most compelling Batman yet - no longer the dithering idiot of the sixties but a merciless superhero seeking vengeance. Jack Nicholson steals the show, though, with a superbly over the top Joker (the casting department really worked overtime on that one...), and they battle it out amongst a frenzy of special effects. Highly enjoyable, don't miss it.

They're around us, everywhere - on TV, in the supermarkets, running corporations, marshalling the army, sitting in government and even starring in movies.

Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones keep a shaded eye on the hundreds of pesky weirdo find out more...

Tobey Maguire is up there with Michael Keaton as the perfect casting choice for a super hero, diminutive and unassuming in their day wear, but utterly convincing once they donned the kitsch lycra. After a mutant spider bites Peter Parker he suddenly gains the most incredible powers. At first Peter uses these gifts for his own benefit but after tragedy strikes he resolves himself to fighting evil (in particular the rather wasted talents of Dafoe as the Green Goblin) and defending the good people find out more...

From the DC comics comes America's most enduring fairytale, his origins on the planet Krypton, his humble childhood on a Mid West farm, his meteoric career as a reporter and his final destiny as the superbeing who saves California from a radical re-distribution of real estate values. find out more...

Taken from the Marvel comic characters this huge budgeted live action extravaganza focuses on the formulation of the X-Men; a group of young earth mutants with extraordinary powers who are moulded into a force for good by professor Xavier and their first life and death battle, to protect a world that fears them, against a psychotic fellow mutant, Magneto.
