Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice

Recently this week the new trailer for 2016's Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice was released, and I gotta say I love it! It really set the stage for the film, particularly in the first minute of the trailer, and gave audiences their first look at one of Superman's most dangerous villains. Here are the five things to take away from the trailer:

1) Bruce Wayne V Clark Kent
Words Cannot describe how much I loved this part of the trailer as it set the rivalry between the two main characters perfectly. This isn't just a fight of strength but of morals and values: Clark Kent expresses his dislike of Batman's brutal methods whilst Bruce Wayne expresses his distaste for a God-Like being who could wipe humanity if he so wished. It's a great to not only have the heroes fight but also their alter egos, and how important they are in this conflict. Also, it's a change of pace to see two heroes simply talk about their issues with one another rather than just use a bunch of quips to make the other feel degraded.

2) Lex Luthor
I'll admit, I wasn't too sure on Lex when I first saw him in this trailer. He came across as highly talkative and obnoxious. But, after thinking about it, I kinda feel like this would make sense for him. Lex Luthor has always been a man who felt like he was God's gift to man so the obnoxiousness fits. However, I really do hope that he'll become the Luthor fans loved from the comics and animated shows. Who was more calm and collected. Hopefully the events of this film will turn into that man, we've seen a pic of Lex with no hair already so it's possible. But, for now, I'm willing to accept this version of him.

3) Batman Vs. Superman!
 "If I wanted it you'd be dead already!" Shouts an angry Superman to the Dark Knight. And it's no lie! It's fascinating to see the Man Of Steel show so much restraint, particularly after murdering Zod, it shows how much he doesn't want to cross that line again. The look of the fight between these two is intense! We see both opponents get some good punches against one another. Batman's armour looks so amazing! Especially the glowing eyes, like in the comics! From Superman's restraint and Batman's desire to kick his ass over the Battle of Metropolis it's quite clear this is going to be a really emotional fight. Where the two ideologies of justice and peace clash! I'm so looking forward to this fight.

4) Doomsday
This is the part that kinda split the fanbase. Either on whether the trailer revealed too much or the look of the iconic villain. Personally I like it. Everyone already knew Doomsday was going to be in it. Primarily because the official Synopsis said that a greater threat would unite Batman and Superman. Also Michael Shannon kinda dropped the ball when he said he was on the set of the film. Plus, this is Doomsday when he's just been born. He's designed to become stronger every time he dies so it makes sense that he doesn't 100% look like his comic counterpart. But overall I think the fight with Doomsday is gonna be epic as Hell and the character serves as a great catalyst for the Batman/Superman alliance.

5) DC TRINITY!
The fanboy in me screamed like Hell out of joy due to this one shot! The first time in history that the DC Trinity are together in Live Action and posed, ready for battle. I love how Wonder Woman looks in her warrior's stance, and I can't wait to see what role she plays in the overall story. I love Superman standing casually. He's all powerful, he doesn't need to pose that much. I'm curious as to why Batman is carrying a gun, or why he isn't wearing his armour to fight DOOMSDAY! Maybe Superman bashed it up too much? We'll have to see. I really hope that's not a standard gun as the whole "No Guns" Code is pretty sacred to the Batman Lore, but we'll have to wait and see.

So that's the 5 main things I took away from this trailer. I loved it, this is perhaps my most anticipated film, maybe tying with Force Awakens, and I can't wait until it comes out in March.

Thank you for reading. I haven't been posting a lot lately due to University work but I'm gonna do my best to post as much as I can. Please follow this blog if you like it. :)

Spider-Man: Far From Home Review (No Spider-Man spoilers, Endgame Spoilers)

So after the immense success of Avengers: Endgame (2019, Joe & Anthony Russo) , becoming the 2nd highest grossing movie of all time. And now, Marvel hopes to continue their ongoing story with Season 2 Episode 1. Spider-Man: Far From Home (Jon Watts) . The second movie in the MCU's new Spider-Man trilogy, which has proved incredibly popular with fans of both the MCU and Spider-Man in general. But with things like the events of Endgame to deal with, will this movie be weighed down by the weight of that movie? Or can it possibly hold its own? Marvel has had a pretty good run this year. Hopefully, it doesn't trip at the finish line. Initial Thoughts This is a damn good follow-up to Endgame . It's nowhere near as big in scope but it's definitely a good start to a new chapter in the MCU. Focusing more on the aftermath of Endgame and how Spider-Man is coping in a post-Iron Man world and trying to sort out his life as Peter Parker.  Spider-Man/Peter Parker/Tom Ho...

Spider-Man Out of the MCU? - Situation Review

A couple of days ago it was revealed that re-negotiations between Sony and Disney around Spider-Man have fallen through and the character will be taken out of the MCU entirely. This has come as quite a shock to most fans, especially after the release of the latest movie Spider-Man: Far From Home (John Watts)  which recently passed the $1 Billion mark in the worldwide box office.     So what does this mean for the future of the beloved Superhero? Well in this Situation Review I will be discussing why Sony did what they did and several possibilities for what will happen with Spider-Man. Disney Vs Sony So, the decision comes after Disney wanted to change the deal that they had with Sony so that they would gain 50% of the overall gross of the Spider-Man movies, rather than the 5% that they were currently receiving. A move that Sony wasn't happy with.     Now, if they were only talking about the movies then this would seem like a fair deal. The...

Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker Review (No Spoilers)

The final episode in the sequel trilogy, and the overall Skywalker Saga, is finally out! Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker (2019, J.J Abrams) will hopefully answer the questions that have been set up since the beginning of this trilogy in Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015, J.J Abrams) . But due to fans being displeased with this new trilogy, such as the highly negative response from fans after the previous instalment Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017, Rian Johnson)  and with the latest anthology movie Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018, Ron Howard) being a financial disaster, can this movie live up to the success of its predecessors and redeem the franchise in the eyes of fans? First Thoughts This movie is good, I liked it as a movie. The action's good, the visuals are great and the characters are fun to watch. But as a finale to the overall Skywalker Saga, it's quite disappointing. The story feels more like it's trying to make up for lost time rather than tell a good stor...
