Marvel's Daredevil (2015) - TRAILER #2 REACTION

When Marvel's Daredevil was announced, I was intrigued by the idea, although the fact that it would be a Netflix series and the reveal of the costume disappointed me. I had hoped for a proper TV series as opposed to just a Netflix series. However, the first trailer brought up my hopes, even if it was just incredibly teasy, even with the dialogue - "I'm not asking forgiveness for what I've done Father, but what I'm about to do..." and "We don't say his name..."
However, the new trailer released today has got me more interested. The look at Kingpin as the series villain and a glimpse at the origin story for Daredevil looks good. The action looks great and despite a rather dull costume, the production values look pretty good throughout.
I've grown used to the costume, even if I don't like the fact that its black cloth (red would have been better in my opinion), and Charlie Cox looks to be a fantastic Matt Murdock / Daredevil. Drew Goddard contributed to the series, and I'm looking forward to see his work on a superhero film. After all, he is reportedly directing Marvel's (The Spectacular) Spider-Man for July 28th 2017. Otherwise, I don't recognize anyone else working on the project, so I look forward to seeing a new, fresh and darker Marvel Cinematic Universe installment. It would be cool to see Daredevil and the other Defenders appear in future films, but I'll be more interested in their own series at the moment.
Daredevil after all is only the start, to be followed by Marvel's AKA Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and then having all four heroes teaming up for Marvel's The Defenders. If I do get to watch Daredevil (might be difficult without Netflix, although a DVD/Blu-ray release would be great Marvel), I do look forward to it.
Marvel's Daredevil will be released on Netflix on April 10th 2015 with all 13 episodes.

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'

Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. - Season 6, Episode 1 Review

Image
Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. returns for its sixth season after what seemed to be it's definitive ending last year. Whilst I felt that Season Five was a rather small-scale season to go out on - more because of the low production values than the story - and that a definitive, planned-out ending would be better than running the show into the ground, I was encouraged by the news that a sixth season would only consist of thirteen episodes, and be set after Coulson 's death in the Season Five finale. About a year later, Season Six has arrived in the UK, set to be followed by a thirteen episode seventh season next year. ' Missing Pieces ' is very much a slow-build episode, pulling together a few strings and setting multiple ongoing storylines in motion, making it a rather uneventful self-contained episode but no doubt an integral part of Season Six. I felt very much underwhelmed by this opener, but that's mainly because of how little it can really achieve in f
