And we’re back! It’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything here, but it’s my blog and that’s life sometimes. Anyway, the new teaser trailer for Thor: Ragnorak hit the net today and I have to admit, I wasn’t expecting to be as bowled over as I was! Cate Blanchett as Hela makes all the sense in the world to me; there’s so much going on in the trailer that it’s hard to talk about all of it! You just have to watch it for yourself! I will say, seeing Thor getting his classic helmet back was one of the highlights for me!
Revealed only yesterday, I hadn’t heard one peep about the upcoming Legend of Tarzan. You’d think something Tarzan-related would garner more attention, but I’m sure as we get closer to the July 1, 2016 release date, there’ll be more publicity. Regardless, the trailer is definitely presenting a movie worth watching, as Alexander Skarsgard takes on the mantle of one of Edgar Rice Burrough’s most beloved and iconic characters. As a Tarzan fan myself, I’m happy to see not just an excellent cast, but a movie that looks like it’ll do the mythology justice.
Yes, yes, and double yes!! Finally! At last, I am finally excited for this movie! The previous trailer was kind of eh, but this one…holy crap! It had everything we wanted and so much more! Batman, Superman, Lex Luthor, Doomsday…and did I see Wonder Woman?! Yes, yes I did!
The prequel nobody asked for: The Huntsman Winter’s War. After the first Snow White and the Huntsman, which if anybody is wondering was absolutely awful, you’d hope the powers that be would realize the movie’s mediocrity. This was not the case and/or they didn’t care and thought it would be a great idea to make a prequel. Now, despite rocking a stellar cast, featuring the likes of Emily Blunt and Jessica Chastain, I have little to no hope for The Huntsman Winter’s War. Now, I could be wrong, and it could end up winning the Academy Award for Greatest Movie Ever…but I doubt that.
Finally! I, like many comic fans, have been waiting a while for the new Jessica Jones trailer. We’ve seen a few teasers here and there, but nothing really showcasing the show or what we can expect. That all changed today when Marvel released the trailer. While not my favorite superhero, if you can even call Jessica Jones a superhero, it’s hard not to be impressed by the footage. While it’s cool to finally see Luke Cage, David Tennant as the mind-controlling Purple Man stole the show! We get to see the scope of the villain’s power and his sinister nature; only popping out of the shadows briefly, Tennant’s voice is enough to make us fearful for anyone and everyone. Coming out on November 20th, prepare to lock yourself in that weekend for some serious binge watching. If Jessica Jones is anything like Daredevil in quality, then we’re all going to be very happy.
With the way movie theaters are getting sold out left and right, their websites unable to handle the traffic they’ve been receiving in the midst of millions of fans trying to claim their opening night tickets, I have every reason to believe Star Wars: The Force Awakens will be a monumental success. The trailer reveals a little more, with some additional insight on the characters and who is doing what. My instinct tells me this trailer might get even more views than the previous one! Let’s see what happens! Star Wars is upon us, folks!
And boy is it beautiful! I’m not one of those guys who looks for every single Easter Egg and detail, rather I merely try and and enjoy the marvelous spectacle that is the new, and final, Star Wars: The Force Awakens poster! I mean, can we just take a moment to appreciate all the glory? The colors! The heroes! The villains; and of course, the lightsabers! Really, this is one of those posters that would look good on my wall, or yours…if you like posters on your wall that is. One question I have though: where’s Luke Skywalker?
Or at the least the second teaser trailer. I’m not sure. No matter, what’s important is that we get some real time footage, as opposed to the psychedelic teaser from a couple weeks ago. Either way, there really isn’t much to see, with the highlight being the last couple seconds. To the average viewer, it might come across as a surprise, to a comics fan, not so much.
The latest promo clip for the upcoming second season of Gotham showcases something a bit different. Or maybe it’s not all that different, I’m just perplexed by what’s going on. Clearly the show has decided to hell with the movies; if Gotham wants its own Suicide Squad, then by golly, Gotham is going to get its own Suicide Squad. With every episode and every clip released, Gotham becomes kookier by the minute. Obviously the show doesn’t take itself seriously, and, hopefully, doesn’t expect the audience to either. At this point, it’s all like a Jackson Pollock painting, but with no clear indication about what’s going on, or what will lead to what. Though on some level, I’m okay with that.
Here at last! Or rather, it was outthere several days ago, but now it’s here. Moving on, the season four Arrow trailer is loaded with anything and everything you could hope for. From the return of John Constantine (maybe Arrow will help the character get his show back) to new villains and heroes! All in all, I like to think we’re in for an exciting ride! So far, all signs are promising this’ll be an epic season, but after the mediocre second half of season three, I still have a reservation or two. Arrow starts up again October 7!
