Question 1

When I first saw Terminator 2 in the 90s and I thought it was so amazing! I had never seen anything like that, especially the computer graphics. The second that springs to mind is Iron man. In my opinion it is one of the first great comic book movies. I really enjoyed one of Christopher Nolan's first films, Memento. In this movie it starts from the end of the movie and it works it way backwards to the beginning. I thought and still think that this idea is very clever.

Question 2

My favorite movie changes frequently, but I have also thought that Pulp Fiction is a great film. I think it came out in the mid nineties and it featured many A-list stars.

Question 3

It stars Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta. This was John Travolta's come back film. I like Samuel L. Jackson a lot.

Question 4

The director was Quentin Tarantino. He has made many famous films such as Kill Bill with his latest film being Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

Question 5

I think I have seen Pulp fiction 3 or 4 times.

Question 6

I have been disappointed with the DC comic book movie franchise. I like a lot of their characters but the movies are not on par with Marvel's.
