AVENGERS AGE OF ULTRON NEWS

What Ultron before being cgi'd looks like
The Avengers Age Of Ultron could be one of the most anticipated films of all time it's set to hit theatres on May 1st 2015 and I personally think the casting of quick silver is brilliant I think Aaron Taylor Johnson caters to all needs as he can be funny as seen in kick ass he can be a loved up teenager in Angus thongs and perfect snogging personally I do not rate that film and action in Godzilla. So I think he will be perfect for the roll. I will not go into Scarlett witch casting, Elizabeth Olsen to much as I have not seen any of her movies.

There's many story lines that people are coming up with at the moment my personal favourite is that the hulk turns on the rest of the avengers and then they exile him to an alien planet where he gets a wife and then eventually in avengers 3 he comes back to earth to fight the avengers. People who are familiar with the comics will know that this is the story of "planet hulk". I think this is the most believable at the moment as marvel do seem to be going along with the comic story lines at the moment. Also marvel released some concept art of the avengers 2 and it showed iron man and hulk fighting but Iron man is wearing a hulk buster suit this is basically just a massive iron man suit capable of subduing hulk. Some believe it's the large suit near the end of iron man 3. I guess we will just have to wait for another year...

Django Unchained

Quentin Tarantino is known for his violent, funny, dynamic music and his camera angles. Django is a perfect showcase of all of these things it's a bout a bounty hunter played by Christopher waltz and slave turned bounty hunter Jamie Foxx, it follows them tracking down bounties and Jamie Foxx trying to find his wife. The film contains a lot of funny moments as well as a handful of gory scenes. If you like any other Tarantino film you will love this and the soundtrack to the film can only be described as original and interesting which is what you want a soundtrack to be like in a hit blockbuster. I give this film a 9.5 / 10

GWEN STACY DEATH RIGHT DECISION OR WRONG?

The night Gwen Stacy died  #122 
The death of Gwen Stacy both in the comic and the movie was a shock for many reasons, I'll start with the comics.
The comic universe at that time had never experienced a loved and popular character being killed of she was one of the first and these comics are seen as the end of the silver age of comics. The night Gwen Stacy died is voted as the 9th greatest comic of all time.
In the movies Emma stone plays Gwen Stacy and people who are familiar with the comics will realise that the film gave away a massive spoiler when she was seen wearing what Gwen Stacy  was on the night she died in the comics in one of the trailers they released. Also one of the main things that made amazing spiderman 2 great was the on screen chemistry between emma stone and Andrew Garfield. Mary Jane Watson will almost definitely be in amazing spiderman 3 but they will have to get quite a good and convincing actor to play her as it will be hard too top Emma stones performances and fan base.
Live your comments below and say if you think it was a good or bad decision.

CAPTAIN AMERICA: Winter Soldier

The second captain America was a showcase to what the movie industry really can do with special effects it has already topped 500 million at global box office. Chris Evans as captain America and scarlet Johansen as black widow perform brilliantly as together they need to bring down shield. (SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!) it also shows the first two new superheroes for avengers age of ultron scarlet witch and quick silver where it shows them in cells. With a new addition as falcon (Anthony Mackie)  and the return of Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) As the winter soldier it really holds quite a strong cast. Although this movie was great I can't help but think it was a stepping stone to make the future of captain America stable as Chris Evans will not be playing the roll to much longer to find out who could be next in the roll you have to go back to the comics where the winter soldier takes over the position which I think would be brilliant if this were to happen nothing has been said yet but it seems like the marvel universe are going more with the comics. Overall however this film is quite amazing along with the great fight scenes, chases, special effect and also good one liners this film deserves a 8.5/10.

ABOUT TIME

About time is a rom com about a a normal ginger boy who learns that all the males in his family can time travel. Through out the film he finds love and makes a family but that isn't without a few hiccups. This film is a really well made and feel good film despite the film having some sad moments unlike other films it shows the normality of life and youth like trying to get a girlfriend and being late for work. I would recommend this film as it's a very funny and romantic film. I would give this film an 7/10.

DIVERGENT

This film was a very pleasant surprise I went into the movie very optimistic not knowing to much about the film and had not read the books the film is based around. The film is about a future world based in Chicago where there has been a nuclear war so the people of Chicago make sure they maintain peace by dividing people into faction based on virtues e.g. Brave, smart, kind, selfless. To determine what one they should pick they have to take a test however the final choice is there and every so often the test doesn't work on somebody and there called divergent's the film is about tris (shailene woodley) who is a divergent and her struggle to fit in. The film offers a very interesting look at the future and what could be. The two leads Shailene Woolley and Theo James perform perfectly together and were the perfect casting for this role. The soundtrack to this movie is also brilliant with fitting music all the way through the movie Ellie Goulding leading the music threw the film. I would give this film an 8/10 and I am very much looking forward to the sequel.

THE QUIET ONES

This horror is about a team of students and there professor Joseph Coupland
Who conduct an experiment to prove the paranormal is only a state of mind on there trip they find some truly horrific things what they uncover will change there life for ever. The film is based around London the film has many moments which generally left you tucking yourself into your seat and gripping your eyes in the belief that it would make the experience less terrifying, however it did not. The film has some weird scenes and twists where the camera man  (Sam Claffin)  falls in love with the girl their testing on, Jane harper (Olivia Cooke) really plays her part well and truly makes her self look demonic. The film had a lot of loud moments and quite disturbing moments but still I would recommend the film to any one who likes horrors. Overall I would give this film an 7/10.

THE AMAZING SPIDERMAN 2

The Sequel to the rebooted series was an action packed film witch lasts just over two hours, it had many great action sequences through the streets and sky's of New York where they could really show of what the character could do as spiderman. A part from the action sequences Andrew Garfield and Emma stone played there parts brilliantly and really made the audience connect with there relationship and in the film it's going through quite a tough time as Gwen's deceased father's wishes for Peter to leave Gwen out of his life for her safety are really taking a toll on him and you see him go through quite a learning curve through the film dealing with all this emotions. The villains in the film were Jamie fox as electro, Dane Dehaan as the green goblin and a hardly recognisable Paul Giammati as rhino, I think the film struggled with so many big characters as well as showing the death of peters parents as they had a lot to cram in they couldn't really focus on any villains as well as rhino only having very little screen time. Andrew Garfield was brilliant in this role and he really brought humour and more youth to the film as Peter still is only young in the film. The sound track to the film was also very well made also with one of the leading ones being "it's on again" and also there's a spectacular Times Square scene in the movie where spiderman first sees Jamie fox as electro and they also have some very setting music in that sequence. Overall I would give this film an 8/10.
