Age Of Ultron

- Bored last night so went cinema, cost £8.79, why the 79p, round it up people!

- This isn't a review of the whole film like my X-Men: DOFP or CA:WS but rather my thoughts in general, there will be spoilers.

- Ultron was a good villain for me to watch, he isn't treated as almost a joke like Loki but rather a true villain and I was really impressed with the way he came across.

- The look of the film was beautiful and very impressive. 

- Hawkeye got a meaty role in the film and for me Jeremy Renner is possible the MVP of this film, he was shown to have a wife and two kids with another on the way and the way he was built up through the film I expected him to get offed but blow me Quicksilver bites the bullet, or multiple bullets should I say.

- Nice touch where Hawkeyes new born is shown to have the middle name Pietro as Quicksilver died saving Hawkeye.

- Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver don't leave much of an impression though SW does cause show each Avenger visions where Stark seemingly destroys everything, Cap is alone and Thor's felt weird within this film actually Thor doesn't fit at all for me within the MCU. 

- Film ends with a new Avengers formed - Captain America, Black Widow, War Machine, Scarlet Witch, Vision, The Falcon.

- Though kind of obvious the bad guys go good and have a heroic death, at least one of them anyway, felt cliched in about 1957.

- The Vision was a welcome addition and the fact he's given a humanish appearance helps the audience connect with him I think.

- The start was enjoyable as we go straight into the thick of the action.

- Black Widow and Hulk start a romance out of nowhere but at the end Hulk seemingly goes off the radar and personally not sorry to see that as I don't like Hulk though i'm sure he'll be back.

- Mid Credit scene shows Thanos grabbing the Gauntlet and saying he'll have to do it himself more or less, i've forgotten his exact words.

- Who will pay for all the buildings destroyed??

7.5 / 10 - I didn't have that feeling of satisfaction when leaving the cinema that I got from Winter Soldier or Guardians. 

Majoras Mask

- When people ask my fave game the answer of 'Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time' is always followed with the question did you play Majoras Mask? To which I would sigh and say no. This went on for 14 years until last year when I contacted a local retro shop and they had Majoras Mask in on that day so I got it, though due to TV issues I've only really had a good go of it in the last week or so.

- This is being played on my 64 I don't have 3DS version.

- The game play was easy for me to pick up as it's 100% Ocarina Of Time so that was a plus for me and as the people in Termina are the same as Hyrule it's fun for me and the sister to try remember where they were in Hyrule eg a man in the ranch appears in Kakariko Village and the Lost Woods on Ocarina also the these two witches you help in the Swamp are a dungeon boss on Ocarina (Spirit Temple if I remember right).

- One major difference between OoT and MM is that Majoras is timed in that you have 3 days (in game time) to save Termina from the moon, to save the game you must play The Song Of Time and go back to day 1 though everything resets. The timed nature of the game initially annoyed me but i've grown to bear it, on OoT you had to get Medallions but here it's masks, though I don't think all 24 are needed I'm still going to try for them, they enable you to do different things though only 3 truly change you - Deku, Goron and Zora, but some are needed for progression as you can't get into Ikana without winning the mask needed via horse race.

- The first Temple/Dungeon/whatever floats your boat is fairly easy which was a given given it's the initial one but the second (Snowhead Temple) was annoying in terms of traversing it but I found the boss (Goht) annoying but also quite fun to do and I've saved Zora Eggs which enabled me to learn a new song which I think grants me access to the next temple but I'm not doing that yet as I get flashbacks to the Water Temple of OoT, also I don't intend to do the Zora Eggs again as I hate water fights and had to beat these deep sea pythons to save three of the eggs also the  other four are around Gerudo Fortress which I walked around with the Stone Mask which makes you essentially invisible however I wouldn't like to do that are without the mask.

- Away from the main story of the Temples as noted earlier you get masks all via different means and the biggest one I've found to do is this Anju/Kafei task from which I have three masks (Kafei/Keaton/Couples) and yet still Anju is not ticked off in my note book, what does the woman want?!

- Overall I've enjoyed it so far but i'm still not sure whether I prefer it to Ocarina BUT the fact that I can't declare OoT a definite winner is a testament to Majoras Mask, the 14 year wait was worth it.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Got a couple more masks last night but I have the feeling that I should progress more within the game so onto the next temple.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- I am NEVER doing the Great Bay Temple again not even for £1,000,000. I've always thought Water Temple from OoT was worst Zelda dungeon but this surpasses it, in Water Temple you have to lower and raise the Water levels but the boss is relatively easy and in Great Bay Temple you change the current of the water which was annoying as I couldn't find the last one however after all this I faced what is my worst ever boss - Gyorg, a fish thing that does major damage, I needed to use two red fairies to survive, though being an animal lover I did feel bad for killing a fish, I am never doing this again!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Took a break for a bit as I usually do, I start things then half way through get bored hence why I have a bunch of reviews written but not typed up, but I was in the mood for this and so headed for the Stone Tower, oh wait no I didn't I had to go through the well giving gibdo's various items and ended with Mirror Shield, I learnt the Song Of Storms somewhere aswell, I honestly can't remember where though, after bringing water back to the valley I healed a father and got the Gibdo mask then I headed for Stone Tower.

- Did the first part of the tower after spending about two hours getting up to it, then you have to go outside and flip the tower by hitting a switch with the light arrows which are earned by beating a mini-boss, it may of been a Wizzrobe i can't remember. There's a really annoying enemy named Death Amos or something like that which stopped me hitting a switch for a while then when I did it I realised I should of just used the stone mask, after going back to the opening area by accident and thus having to walk around again I got to the boss, special mention for the guy guarding the boss key as he did some real damage, the boss was two worm like things named TwinMold who you beat by hitting the head or tail of both, I gained the Giants Mask in the temple and this is the only place you can wear it.

- The four temples are done and now I'm heading for the clock tower, or at least I would be but I have three masks missing.

- All Night Mask is now mine just missing one as I believe the other is obtained by getting all the others. Oh Mask Where (and what) Are Thou?!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Turns out the mask I needed was one I knew from OoT as it was The Mask Of Truth, read online, yes I broke my cardinal rule, and it said get all the golden spiders in the house, I thought paaaaarp liars I did that and didn't get a mask then realised there is two such houses on the game, got it now.

- To paraphrase The Police I am walking in the moon. Had to find four kids after they asked for my masks, at least they were polite robbers, found the Goron one really annoying as I fell off the track a lot. Then onto Majoras Mask itself. Now this is where the importance of the masks becomes apparent. I had all masks to give away leaving me with none and then the kid wearing Majoras Mask gave me The Fierce Deity mask, which really helps, without all masks I couldn't of given enough away to the kids and thus no mask for the boss.

- Fierce Deity mask meant I could damage Majoras Mask as I pleased and breezed through the final bosses 3 stages even the mother said 'was that it after all the other hard bosses' I doubt I would've beat it in one go without that mask but it did make the final boss to easy, we get a little cut scene, not as good as OoT's to end the game .... well actually I thought it would of deleted my profile thus making me start again but it just went back to Day 1 and I had all 24 masks. Some of the space in my item list are empty  so i've missed something also I couldn't do a certain fight by Ikana Canyon as it said I didn't have enough health, first though Ima whip the bosses with my newest mask and get the frog chorus reunited.

Arrow Season 2

- This is being written as I watch Season 2 so will be my initial thoughts on what's happened instead of trying to remember things after watching the whole season, so far i'm 4 episodes in.

- Not much time, about 5 minutes, was dedicated to getting Oliver back off the island after he willingly returned, that was a slight let down.

- It seems to me that Shado may end up coming between Slade and Ollie, also re Slade we see him going down screaming after catching aflame during a bombing of the plane and am I too assume this is where he loses his eye?

- The Doll Maker came across as a creepy villain and for me was better than the run of the mill villains of the week from last season and I also like the 180 by the Lance's in terms of for/against 'The Hood', though Paul Blackthorne seems more comfortable in his role.

- Black Canary's reveal as Sara wasn't much of a surprise though the mention of Ra's Al Ghul certainly was an intriguing one as was the reveal that Ollie knew Sara survived.

 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Caught the next two episodes last night 'League Of Assassins' and 'Keep Your Enemies Closer' both of which were yet more strong entries in a stellar season 2. I have enjoyed Sara (Caity Lotz) in her Starling City debut so far.

- Keep Your Enemies Close had Amanda Waller in and this and the way she spoke to Diggle about getting by Lyla smells to me like Suicide Squad. I really liked this episode as Diggle was pushed as the front man as he went into a Russian prison to save Lyla who had gone in as she was searching for Deadshot for Diggle and found him within, we didn't know he was in there until Diggle did as they were chained up in a freezer style place with each other and Diggle was forced to work with his enemy, Deadshot killed his brother, to get out back to Oliver, it was outside where Diggle found out that Deadshot meant to kill his brother, he always assumed Andy Diggle was protecting a client but Deadshot reveals H.I.V.E ordered the hit, H.I.V.E have links to Deathstroke so this may bring him into Starling City. Speaking of Slade we saw him and Shado again with Slade now burnt and Shado helping him recover.

- Professor Ivo, here a Doctor, has also shown up in the flashbacks as Oliver is a prisoner on his ship and Sara is there as his assistant of sorts and Dylan Neal brings an unnerving presence to the role also he's looking for a Super Soldier Serum and I'm guessing that these deformed corpses that Oliver, Slade and Shado found are the failed experiments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Malcolm's back and revealed that Thea is his daughter but instead of retreading season 1 and having Moira hold back a secret from Queens due to Malcolm she one upped him as she has got word to Ra's al Ghul, do they have a signal in Nanda Parbat? and for Malcolm's sake I hope Ra's doesn't find him.

- Barry Allen debuted and I haven't seen Flash yet but based on his appearance here I do wonder if he has leading man capabilities as he was good but didn't stand out on his own, also why on shows do the two 'geeks' always catch each others eye? Do writers not know that we can find love with non-geeks?

- In the flashbacks Slade is on his last legs following the explosion but was injected with the serum stuff but without a sedative and seemingly died aboard the sub that contains the serums however I'm pretty sure he's not dead and think that this will lead to Deathstroke from the comics.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Only caught one episode but it was a doozy 'Three Ghosts' was the episode and during the TV run this was the mid-season finale and we found out that Shado died on the island as Ivo shot her when Oliver went in front of Sara, Ivo told him to pick who got shot and Slade didn't die from the injection/serum and going by what we saw is now the Deathstroke from the comic as he kicked some heavy duty booty, also I think he's the first to survive the injection.

- Shado, Slade and Tommy showed up in present day as ghosts, it was nice seeing Slade and Shado with Arrow and not pre-vigilante Oliver, Slade's ghost beat up Oliver in his hideout/base, though they turned put to be psychological problems for Oliver i'm unsure how that would beat him up.

- The man who injured Ollie in present day, Arrow landed with needles in him and Barry Allen saved him as Felicity revealed Ollie's secret identity, was named Cyrus Gold who in the comics was Solomon Grundy in the 19th century hence Solomon Grundy rhyme being in Arrow.

- Roy got injected with the Serum but was saved by Arrow and I did think that he was about to reveal his true identity to Roy but alas he did not.

- Two big things happened though towards the end as Barry Allen was struck by lightning when weather caused the particle accelerator to explode it seemed and Brother Blood's boss was revealed and this person is the source of the blood needed for the Serum and it's an eye patch wearing Slade Wilson, his burns were healed by the serum but i'm hoping Arrow took out his eye as in an earlier episode Arrow revealed to Diggle that he'd beaten a super human before and I assume it's Slade.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- 'Blast Radius' was a good episode but did feature the poor villain of the week which Season 1 was chock full of, a good episode but not on the levels of the previous episodes.

- Roy is superpowered after being injected with Mirakuru and I hope he somehow loses the super strength as Arrow has been grounded so far in terms of Super powers eg Canary's sonic screaming thing is from a device and not her, now I can accept Slade having these powers but as stated I hope Roy somehow loses them.
