Pokemon Origins Review

What everyone wanted in the first place...  WATCH - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lw7qHqm2t6U It's weird to think that in this present day that Pokemon, A Nintendo prized gaming Gem and a popular kids animated T.V series is very much still around and is still popular. If you don't know, I am 20 years old, so pretty much I was one of those kids that was seriously into Pokemon when it started out; I played the games and even though looking back now it was bad, the T.V show was just one of those things I watched. Now admittedly, I never properly played the Red or Blue versions of Pokemon when they were first released due to the fact that my older brothers luckily got the chance to own them.I remember specifically the day my older brother got Pokemon Red and the rest of us would just watch him play it closely.

A perfect example of a Super-Hero film filled with visual beauty There's no question that ever since Marvel was bought from Disney back in 2009, we would undoubtedly see an animation that was inspired by a Marvel comic/story. A lot of people including my-self, were pondering and hesitant over whether Disney would just animate a character/storyline that we had previously seen on the big screen like Iron-man, Captain America etc. Thankfully, Disney through the success and inspiration from other Animations in recent years such as Tangled and Frozen , have come up with a piece of art that although is an adaptation, it's a piece that funnily enough feels very original with it's beautiful in-depth animation and likeable characters. Big Hero 6  in this modern day and age, manages to champion most superhero films that falter in performance but do well when it comes to the box-office. The film is set in the beautifully detailed city of San Fransokyo, a so...
