Thor: Ragnarok (Non-Spoiler) Review

After almost an entire decade of being on the Silver Screen, the MCU has a spoil of riches. From the successful Avengers films (2012, 2015) to the Iron Man trilogy (2008, 2010, 2013)   and the Captain America trilogy (2011, 214, 2016) . But one thing that, I feel, that Marvel has yet to fully encapture is the world of Thor. Yes, the Norse god of thunder has had something of an unfortunate track record on the big screen. With the first one being made just to establish the character for The Avengers (2012)  and the Thor: The Dark World (2013)  being one of the weaker MCU films. There is a lot riding on this third film to truly capture the essence of the comics. But, with visionary director Taika Waititi (Hunt For The Wilderpeople, What We Do In The Shadows)  taking the helm, it looks like this new direction might just be what the Thor franchise needs to live up to both Iron Man and Captain America. First Thoughts Yeah, this is a good film. The v...

Star Wars: The Last Jedi: Trailer Highlights

Star Wars: The Last Jedi New Poster So Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) comes out in December and we're only now getting the second trailer, just two months away from the release date. Either Disney has seriously dropped the ball on the promotional campaign or they're just so confident in this film that they feel it doesn't require a lot of publicity for fans to get excited about. My guess would be the latter. Since the past two Disney-Produced Star Wars films have both raked in a combined total of $3,124,280,897, It'd be safe to say that Disney would think that. However, right before the trailer was released last night, director Rian Johnson (Looper, Brick) suggested to fans that they should avoid this trailer. WHAT?! What kind of a marketing tactic is that?! Perhaps if you wish for fans to avoid spoilers then you should urge the marketing campaign to avoid them at all costs. Initial Thoughts Yeah! This trailer has me more intrigued about the story than ever, ...

Blade Runner 2049 Review (SPOILERS!)

I would recommend watching the film before reading this review.

Justice League 'Heroes' Trailer drops: Trailer Highlights

So Warner Bros. Has just dropped the latest trailer for, arguably, their biggest film of the year, Justice League (2017) . In the past week, the promo team for this film has been stepping up their game. With two sets of posters for the main team, that look fantastic, and now audiences have been treated to this new trailer. But what makes this trailer different from the others that come before it? Initial Thoughts This is a damn good trailer! It has emotion, action and great character moments! What separates this from the previous trailers is that, whilst they leaned heavily on the action and presented in a flashy, adrenaline-fueled trailer, this trailer is more of a slow burner. Allowing viewers to take in the visual spectacle and the emotional, and funny, character moments. Here are the top 5 highlights in this trailer. But, before you read the rest of this post, here is the trailer itself for you to watch. 1. Lois & Clark Clark and Lois reunited in her dreams...

Blade Runner 2049 Review (Non-Spoilers)

Back in 1982, Ridley Scott (Alien, Gladiator) adapted Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep (1968) into the renowned Sci-Fi classic, Blade Runner . Now, whilst it wasn't received well by critics and failed to impress at the box office, it quickly gained a cult following and it's status grew with the film-going masses. Now it's known as one of the best and most influential Sci-Fi films of all time. And now, 35 years later, Director Denis Villeneuve (Prisoners, Arrival)  hopes to continue the Blade Runner story with this new sequel. Villeneuve seems to be on something of a winning streak with both Prisoners and Arrival being adored by critics. And having the popular actor, Ryan Gosling (The Nice Guys, La La Land) as the face of this new take on Blade Runner is a good move. However, with longtime sequels like Independence Day: Resurgence (2016) and Terminator Genisys (2015) failing to capture what audiences loved about the original, can we be sure th...
