Marvel's Ant-Man (2015) - TRAILER #2 REACTION

Whilst the first trailer for Ant-Man felt a little underwhelming, this second one (dubbed trailer 1 for some reason) is certainly more interesting.
I do worry that there is far too much of the plot being shown here, with Yellowjacket - the main villain of the piece - being far too prominent in this trailer for my liking, considering he is probably not going to appear until the final third of the film. Perhaps they are showing this much of him in action for a good reason - maybe there will be a plot twist we haven't heard about yet - but for the time being, this could be the film's undoing. Also, the action shown was pretty awesome, so lets hope there is some more awesome stuff being kept under close wraps for now.
I am disappointed that Evangeline Lilly won't be suiting up as the Wasp though, or as a new Ant-Woman, as she seems to be a better candidate than Paul Rudd's Scott Lang.
Speaking of our main hero, my favourite scene from the trailer was certainly this:
"My days of breaking into places and stealing stuff are over. What do you need me to do?"
"I need you to break into a place and steal some stuff."
"Makes sense."
The comedy certainly looks good, with the Thomas the Tank Engine cameo being another favourite, so Ant-Man should be a lot of fun.
Marvel's Ant-Man will be released on July 17th.

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'

Doctor Who: Eve of the Daleks (2022) - Review

For Who the bell tolls... As 2022 begins, this year marks the beginning of the end for the current era of Doctor Who , with a trilogy of specials concluding Jodie Whittaker 's run as the Thirteenth Doctor, alongside faithful companion Yaz ( Mandip Gill ) and showrunner Chris Chibnall . The first of these, Eve of the Daleks , makes for the third in a trilogy of Dalek-centric New Year's Day specials from the current production team ( Spyfall : Part One wasn't technically an NYD special after all...), and in a strange quirk of timey-wimey-ness airs fifty years after the iconic Day of the Daleks - the metal meanies first appearance in colour! After the convoluted shenanigans of Flux , and following on from two fairly solid Dalek specials, is Eve of the Daleks worth a watch - or does it deserve to be exterminated...? In short: it's fine. A perfectly solid, watchable hour of television that's standalone enough to satisfy a more casual audience not caught up with Flux ,
