Thanks To The MTV Movie Awards It Is Trailer Day!

First up we got the new Suicide Squad trailer!

With Batman v Superman underperforming DC/Warner Brothers are doing everything in their power to make sure that the Suicide Squad is a hit, and I do have to say it is looking very fun.  This trailer mostly has longer shots of things we have already seen, but that is alright with me.  I think we can safely say that Enchantress is the big bad guy in this movie.

Next we have Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them!

Again Warner Brothers is really ramping up the hype train, and this movie looks great!  We get to see a little more magic in this trailer, and we learn a little more background info about Newt.  On thing is for sure I will be in the seats come November!

Now how about a video game with Gears of War 4!

Clearly the people over at Microsoft are paying homage to the classic ‘Mad World’ Gears of War trailer with a very somber cover of ‘Sound of Silence’.  This trailer sets up the new character and the setting for Gears 4 pretty well, and I have to say after not playing the last two Gears of Wars games this makes me pretty excited for Gears of War 4.

Happy trailer day everyone!

Trailer Time! Rogue One: A Star Wars Story!

I have to say I didn’t think there was anything they could do to make the Death Star cool again, but I was wrong!  This looks great!  I guess Disney is getting even more of my money this Christmas.  They way things are going maybe I should just start giving them money on an installment plan.

Batman V Superman Take Two!

Batman-v-Superman-Dawn-of-Justice-Logo

So even though I had middling feelings about BvS:DoJ I decided to go and check it out again over the weekend, and I have to say I thought it was better the second time around.  Understanding where all the plots were going really helped out.  Plus I knew all the stuff I could tune out.  Though I will say if I was the editor I would have taken a hatchet to Batman v Superman.

I love Amy Adams, but I would have killed her whole story arc.  It never made any sense.  Superman’s mountain walkabout? Gone.  He already gets advice from Ma Kent there is no need for more soul searching.  Justice League cameos?  I would have just copied Marvel and thrown them all after the credits.  That would have just left Wonder Woman (okay and someone else too), and that would have been enough.  Then if there was anything left that would have smoothed out some of the main stories on the cutting room floor I would have re-added those clips.  This movie would have been much better at two hours long.

Anyway like I said, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was actually better the second time, and I am now curious where everything goes from here.  Obviously we know the big bad guy will be Darkseid, or at least a Darkseid minion for Part 1, and he brings with him a whole bag of trouble.  I just hope audiences will not have to see the movies twice for them to make any sense.

Lego Batman Is The Batman We Need!

With Batman V Superman getting poor reviews (I am seeing it anyway), Lego Batman is the Batman that we need in these dark times.  You deserve your lobster Bruce, today you deserve it!
