Marvel's Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) - Teaser Trailer REACTION

Where shall I begin?
Ultron (voiced by James Spader), sounds absolutely terrifying, from his Pinocchio-esque speech on strings to just his huge, robot self. Even when he's little more than a charred Iron Man robot, he looks frightening! The CGI still needs to be polished in places (and by that I mean one or two shots), but he looks utterly fantastic! He looks to be the best villain of MCU since Loki, but completely different. Move over Batman v Superman, because this superhero cross-over actually has released a trailer, and it is badass.
There are so many hints at the Avengers themselves. There's no sign of Vision, but if the rumours about Captain America 3 are correct, than I can definitely see the beginnings of Tony Stark's arc leading him there. Thor seems pretty angry at Tony, and even drops his hammer (no idea how to spell the name) almost in defeat!
Cap and Black Widow look cool. Let's be honest though, since The Winter Soldier, Cap has just become plain awesome, and Black Widow's always been cool.
Hawkeye seems to have a lot more to do this time round, there is an intriguing set that makes me think of Peter Quill's ship from Guardians of the Galaxy, and Bruce Banner looks traumatized. Not to mention, the HULKBUSTER!!!
We also have a brief look at Whedon Quicksilver (as I shall call him) and Scarlett Witch. While I'm still not convinced by the actor playing Whedon Quiksilver, the effects of his speed look neat and Scarlett Witch looks awesome...not to mention that shot with Ultron!
The action looks better than Avengers Assemble, and there is a true sense of scale. With all of these rumours about Avengers flowing around the web, it does make me wonder if Whedon really will happily kill some characters off (I'm wondering about Bruce Banner, or (hopefully not) Natasha Romanoff). Speaking of which, I didn't see Rhodey at all...does that mean he dies? I know he's in the film, but maybe he's not in it much. No sign of Falcon as well? Double sidekick death?
The music is chilling, and despite the announcement of another Avengers movie (possibly two), this looks to be plain old epic.

Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation (2015) - Movie Review

Image
The Mission: Impossible franchise has experienced a mixed reception across its four prior installments, with the most popular being 2011's Ghost Protocol. I'm not entirely with the series, only that its pretty much Tom Cruise and co pulling off dangerous missions with some cool action and a catchy theme music, although I did end up watching Ghost Protocol one random night. Despite this, I have very little recollection of the actual film, and it obviously didn't leave much of an impression on me. Suffice it to say though that Rogue Nation is the first Mission: Impossible film I saw the trailer for, liked the look of and went to the cinema to see it, and my expectations were pretty reasonable - cool action, good stunts and an entertaining watch. I guess I got what I expected. The story follows the disassembling of the IMF, while Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) is pursuing The Syndicate - a rogue nation that causes havoc across the world. Hunt teams up once again with Benjamin Dun

Doctor Who: The Power of the Doctor (2022) - Review

And with that, the Thirteenth Doctor's era has come to a close. It's easy for regeneration stories to be overshadowed by the programme's future - understandable given the show's constant change and renewal - but suffice it to say that The Power of the Doctor makes for a fitting conclusion to this era of the programme. Kicking things off with a heist on a space train, we're reintroduced to the Cybermasters, returning from The Timeless Children back in Series 12. It's good to see them return, even if their ultimate roles in the narrative serve mainly as cannon fodder more than anything else. Their Cyber-converted planet, which I'd speculated to Gallifrey, was a nice idea even if it served as a backdrop to the events unfolding rather than playing a significant role. Quite why Ashad and his Cyber Warriors were brought back, other than fan popularity, I'm not sure. An off-hand comment about the Master cloning Ashad doesn't quite resolve the character'

Avengers: Infinity War (2018) - Review

The phrase "I'm shook" springs to mind. Ten years after Marvel Studios released their first independent motion picture ' Iron Man ', the studio brings together (almost) all of their superhero characters into one enormous event film - ' Avengers: Infinity War '. Bursting at the seams with characters, ongoing arcs and a narrative sprawling across space, can the team behind ' Captain America: The Winter Soldier ' and ' Captain America: Civil War ' pull it off? Short answer: no, of course they can't. But they do a pretty great job trying. ' Avengers: Infinity War ' is a film perhaps lacking in character development all round, so much so that many characters feel like special guest stars in a film focused on bringing everything together. If there is a main character here, it's Thanos - played via motion-capture by Josh Brolin - on his journey to find all of the Infinity stones. The Russo brothers have compared this to a h
