Superman II
5 STARS- one of the best superhero films ever made, it takes place just after the original ends and introduces not 1 but 3 new baddies with terrance stamp as General Zod, their leader. This film has so many great performances and where as the first film had to set up the story of Superman this is just a rollercoaster all the way, special effects are a little dated now but it doesn't detract from a great film.

Transformers
5 STARS- I've read some bad reports for this film but i've got to say i loved it, there's no real depth but who needs it, it's true popcorn, blockbusting movie going, no time to take a breather and the actual Transformers, which are the real stars, are amazing. Leave your brain aside when you watch and just enjoy.

Ledger's performance as Joker is outstanding, with Bale continuing to be the best onscreen Batman, all the cast give strong performances and the result is a dark, brooding, visually stunning film.
