What I've Been Watching (May 2012)

SOME SPOILERS AHEAD

It’s time to catch up with ‘What I’ve Been Watching’ the last 2 or so months, and I’ll start with May, which is officially the start of the summer blockbuster period. My only visit to the cinema was for Marvel’s ‘The Avengers’ (ridiculously re-titled ‘Avengers Assemble’ in the UK due to everybody getting confused between a 60s spy drama and this superhero team-up, obviously), a movie that is five feature-length spectaculars in the making and has been on the horizon of every fan-boy’s existence since it was announced. I indulged in some more superhuman action with Tony Stark (‘Iron Man 2’) Peter Parker (‘The Spectacular Spider-Man’ Animated Series) and a group of teenagers who make an odd discovery that gives them superpowers (‘Chronicle’). Of course, it wasn’t a superhuman exclusive month, I also managed to see the fourth instalment of both the ‘Mission Impossible’ and ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ franchise and watched the first two ‘Madagascar’ movies an unhealthy amount of times due to the insistence of a certain two year old.

Only scores for May/June! Full reviews for certain movies to follow.
