Marvel's Ant-Man (2015) - TRAILER REACTION

The one big problem with Marvel Studios' release schedule is that we are being hyped for one movie before the previous one has even come out, and because of this Ant-Man suffers greatly. There was a great hype over the first trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron last September and even some hype for the second trailer, but Ant-Man had nothing, which is a shame.
Ant-Man doesn't seem to adopt a wonderful fun and cheesy approach I wanted to see with Edgar Wright, and my fears of someone else trying to make the film more serious have come true. Ant-Man just seems a bit lifeless at the moment.
The CGI looks unfinished, the dialogue in this trailer is 'meh' and the whole tease just feels like a waste of time - making the movie in question seem like a waste of time. Ant-Man will need to prove itself soon, because its got the problem that Guardians of the Galaxy didn't have - a not-so-great first impression.
The trailer isn't bad and the film doesn't look bad, but not casual audience member is going to give a damn about the film. Again, I'm not saying it looks bad, but it doesn't catch anyone's attention, and feels almost anti-climactic after the trailers for Avengers: Age of Ultron. Better luck next trailer, Marvel.
Marvel's Ant-Man is released on 17th July 2015.

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

Image
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'

Doctor Who: Revelation of the Daleks (1985) - BFI Event Review

Image
As Doctor Who’s twenty-second season drew to a close, the future of the series was uncertain. The show had been unceremoniously cancelled during the broadcast of The Two Doctors, before the BBC backtracked and decided that the show was “on hiatus”. The plans for Season 23 were swiftly abandoned as the show attempted to reinvent itself. Revelation of the Daleks marks the end of Doctor Who’s run of success, making it rather apt that it should be set in Tranquil Repose: a place where the rich and wealthy of the universe go to rest in suspended animation, until such a time as they can be cured from whatever disease or illness is about to kill them. Naturally, Tranquil Repose is all part of a cunning ploy by the Cybermen- I mean, the Daleks. Davros has taken over the planet as its “Great Healer” and uses the bodies of the nearly deceased to create a new army of Daleks. The Doctor and Peri arrive to discover that a trap has already been laid, and that Davros has become the target of not only
