I know I am writing about this a little late. But the story seems to develop on a daily basis. So I don't really feel that late to the party. What am I talking about I hear you ask? Well, it's all the trouble Sony is having. I was going to mention the new James Bond film in this article. But, I don't think that's necessary. Also, I left the whole story about The Interview. In all honesty. I don't actually care about that side of the Sony hack story. I want to focus on the trouble Spiderman is facing. Spiderman seems to be in big trouble.  I was reading about some proposed plans Sony had/has for the Spiderman franchise. You can read the article here.  I think that Sony are trying too hard to make a different kind of Spidey film. Instead of just using the source material to the best of their ability. They are using it to make more origin movies and nonsensical spinoffs. When I heard Sony wanted to make a film about Aunt May I laughed for five minutes. That l...

OH MY GDSKFNONFADOADSJFSJPDAJSVNDSJIPCNSDVOADDS!!!!!!!!!!!!! AVENGERS 2 TEASER TRAILER! I SO EXCITE! This trailer is making the wait for this film really difficult. If you cannot see the video try  here. Watch it as many time as you need. I'VE WATCHED IT COUNTLESS TIMES! Don't forget to hit me up in the comments!

FINALLY!!!! Man of Steel 2, Batman vs Superman. Whatever we called it before. The next film to feature DC's finest heroes has an official name and logo.  Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. After seeing the first image of Affleck as Batman I was pleasantly surprised and intrigued by the choice to base the costume on The Dark Knight Returns design. Especially, after the things I said in  previous posts about him being cast as Batman. You can read those posts here  and here. Perhaps the film will pay homage to the famous battle scene from the graphic novel? Only time will tell. You can read more about the new name and logo  here . Well, now we know the official name. Does this news excite you? Are you looking forward to the movie? Let me know your thoughtds  in the comments section below!

So, it's 2014. A lot of great things are coming this year. In this post I want to highlight a few things that I will be looking forward to in the new year... The Amazing Spiderman 2   -   I am really looking forward to this. I really loved the first film and I think this new film shows a lot of promise. I was a little bit worried about there being too many villains but, this trailer sort of set my mind at rest. With the news that these films will lead to a Venom and Sinister Six spin-offs. I am even more excited to see what happens with the Amazing Spiderman. If you can't see the video click  here. Captain America: The Winter Solider-     Captain America returns! I loved the way the first film introduced Steve Rogers and I can't wait to see what Cap is upto  after the Battle for New York. If you can't see the video click  here. Guardians of the Galaxy-  This is the film I'm looking forward to the ...

 I'm not going to lie. I don't like the X-men films. However, I felt obligated to share this. I don't think it looks particularly great but that's my opinion and I think you should make your own. You can watch the trailer here.

BATFLECK!! BEN AFFLECK AS BATMAN!! WHAT?!?! My face when I found out. It seems like Zac Snyder wants to become the new Brett Ratner. He seems to want  to make comic book fans angry. Ben Affleck as Batman? Are you kidding me? No. Just no. When I say that he is becoming Brett Ratner,  I mean he is taking something beloved by the comic book community and ruining it. As much I thought Man of Steel was an improvement on Superman Returns. It could have been better. By adding Batman to the mix, it makes some of the things that were unique about the Man of Steel questionable. Namely, if there is no Kryptonite in this universe, how would Batman stand a chance against Superman? Unless they are going the Dark Knight Returns route ending in the formation of the World's Finest. Even if that is the case, BEN AFFLECK BEING BATMAN IS CRAY CRAY!!! Back to the Brett Ratner comparison. I think this new film is going to be disappointing. Not just because of the Ben Affleck casting but ...

Meet Bruce Wayne Welcome back the Son of Krypton No. Just no. It cannot be! He is not a good choice.  Just when I thought DC/WB were picking up momentum after the Dark Knight Trilogy and the Man of Steel, then they announce this? I'll tell you something right now. This film isn't going to be anywhere near as good as Man of Steel, so it won't be troubling Aveners: Age of Ultron at all.  I don't think the film will suck because of him being cast in it. I'm just going to find it harder to take the film seriously or as a serious contender against the might of the Marvel cinematic universe. But of course, only time will tell. Don't get me wrong, I like Ben Aflleck. I just don't think he is superhero material, much less The Caped Crusader. I mean, we only have to look at history to tell us why he isn't the best choice. Yes, I am talking about Daredevil. That absolutely shocking shambles of a film did his reputation no favors. I remem...

This is a continuation of the last post. I didn't think I would actually have to make another post. But, if I included this in the last post it would have been too long. So, let's get down to brass tacks.  I was just thinking after I heard the Batman/Superman film announcement that it was going to be them teaming up as the World's Finest (As they do in the comics). But, it turns out that it will actually be a versus movie. Meaning that they will be facing each other. I liked the idea, then it dawned on me. If this is the Man of Steel Superman, wouldn't he just instantly win against Batman? Even though there are many cases of Batman going toe to toe with Superman in the comics. By not having Kryptonite in the Man of Steel film, how would Batman stand a chance? Also, Superman practically destroyed buildings with one punch in the Man of Steel film, unless Batman's bones are made of Diamond, Adamantium and Vibranium I'm pretty sure he would be pu...

So, Man of Steel has been out for a while now. I still haven't seen it. Even though everyone is giving it rave reviews. I'm not fully convinced. After the shockingly shambolic travesty that was Superman Returns.  I just don't know if I am ready to put myself through the experience of watching another Superman film. However, as a major comic book fan and a lover of film. I feel it's my duty to watch this film. One of the fears I have is that it will disappoint me like the previous Superman film. It did not. Compared to the previous shambles that was Superman Returns. Man of Steel was so good, this is in comparison to all Superman films after Superman 1. Snyder did a great job. However, I prefer The Dark Knight Rises. For all of the reasons I prefer Dark Knight Rises. ALL OF THE REASONS!! That is just my opinion. What's yours?
