‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ – That Is All

Wannabe Movie Critic

Are you fucking kidding me – I’m sorry for cursing.

Just when you thought the hype for this movie couldn’t be any bigger, they go ahead and drop this trailer on us. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? This trailer is about to break some records and the internet I would imagine, because it’s damn near perfect. Yeah, I’m sure there will be Star Wars hardos out there that think they spoiled a few things, but remember to never really take anything you see in a trailer in full context. They are really good at editing these things to make you believe something that probably won’t happen.

But that trailer was the real deal, Rian Johnson, I believe you are on your way to making the best Star Wars movie ever. This looks absolutely stunning, some of the visuals are just gorgeous. After seeing Blade Runner 2049 this past week, I’m not going to lie, that I kind of felt the same way for some of the visuals in this trailer than I did for Blade Runner. There is a ton to process in this thing, they are hinting at a TON of things to come, without really revealing how those things are actually going to happen. Luke appears to be afraid of Rey almost because she is so powerful, so powerful that I have a feeling she might be hiding something or will potentially be the person who kills Luke. Again not to overlook the trailer, but it seemed like Rey and Kylo might team up or at least have a common goal/enemy at the end of this trailer. Is Rey turning bad? Towards the end of the trailer we see her under duress, with Snoke taking control of her. Maybe he gets her to join the dark side, or taps into her powers and is able to control or something. Andy Serkis is menacing as hell voicing that guy, I was really digging his voiceover at the beginning of the trailer. Is Kylo turning good, because they allude to him blowing up a ship with his mother Leia inside of it. Does killing his Mom finally push him over the edge and he can no longer be part of the dark side? Something isn’t quite as it seems with those two and obviously some of our questions will be answered in no time. I just thought it was really cool how Luke wanted no part of Rey after he learns just how powerful she can be.

Finn is back, get it, back? Never mind, all I know is, I want to see throw down with Captain Phasma real bad. Seeing how she was a mere joke in The Force Awakens, I’m glad she will finally be doing some heavy lifting this time around, and going toe-to-toe with Finn. She seems like a pretty awesome character so I hope we really get to see more of her this time around, and just isn’t background noise. The battle that looks to be taking place in a really open giant landscape, will probably be the best part of the movie, every time I see that red mist stuff, I’m just blown away but how beautiful it looks.

Overall I thought this was the best or one of the best movie trailer of 2017, DO NOT put out any more trailers, we do not need them. This was far more than we actually needed, but I’m glad I watched it. There are crazy people out there that won’t watch this, and I could not do that, nor do I think it’s a good idea. They didn’t spoil anything really, because like I said, we don’t know the context of anything in the movie yet, because we haven’t seen the movie yet. So chill out, watch it 100 times like I will, and December 15th can’t get here fast enough

Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle Is Growing on Me

Wannabe Movie Critic

I honestly can’t believe that this movie is growing on me, I have an extreme weakness for Dwayne Johnson.

It feels like just yesterday that they released the first trailer for this, and I was completely  and utterly disgusted by what I watched. Then I saw the trailer again, and again and again. They play it in front of a ton of movies, and this thing has grown on me. So when Rock teased the second trailer earlier this week, I was kind of excited to see what else this movie could bring to the table.

I actually don’t mind this trailer, I’ll take it for what it is. This won’t be a very good movie, and it probably won’t do very well at the box-office, but it just looks like the cast is having a ton of fun. There are plenty of laughs to be had throughout, my favourite being Kevin Hart asking if he was “still black,” then exploding due to eating a piece of cake, which I guess is his weakness? Tons of hijinxs are occurring, and yes, this is nothing like the original, but I’m almost glad it isn’t. They really needed to make it more “modern” and by having Jumanji now be a video game, they did just that.

Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson have incredible on screen chemistry together, it showed in Central Intelligence, and it appears to in Jumanji we can expect more of the same. They are great together, and I’m hoping they aren’t putting all the laughs in the trailer. This has potential to be a decent movie, but I also wouldn’t be shocked if it ends up less than 20% on Rotten Tomatoes and it some what bombs at the box-office, they just really need a good marketing campaign behind this thing to get some excitement for it. All in all it was a good trailer, and I’m more excited for this movie than I was 48 hours ago, so I guess the trailer did its job. Also Nick Jonas is either going to be okay in this, or just completely ruin the movie, so theres that.

‘War For The Planet of The Apes’ Looks Glorious 

Wannabe Movie Critic

There’s no way this isn’t the movie of the summer right? 


Okay, first things first. I want all of you to just take a minute. Get down and your knees and say a little prayer to the movie gods, and thank them for having Matt Freakin’ Reeves directing The Batman! Can you believe that, he’s going to tackle the Dark Knight and after watching this trailer I had to wipe the drool off my lip. 

Everything about this trailer was just incredible. The visuals are insane, what this team of directors and producers have managed to accomplish with motion capture is revolutionary for the film industry. I just can’t get over how fantastic the apes look, everything just feels so real. You always forget that these are people acting out the apes, but movie technology has come so far in the last little bit, that you sometimes forget these things. 

I think this is going to be the last movie, at least this movie will be the end of Caesar’s story. From the looks of it at least, which I’m okay with, he’s been such a great movie character. This has potential to be one of the all time great movie trilogies, and I even think these movies are not underrated, but I don’t think as many people have seen them, that should have. Maybe they just think of the Tim Burton version and say I’ll pass, and I don’t blame them, but these are a must watch for any movie fan. 

I’m curious to know what exactly the story is going to be. It seems we have apes fighting along side humans fighting apes, and that seems a little strange to me. So I want to know how that comes to be! Woody Harrelson looks like he will make a kick-ass foil to Andy Serkis’s Caesar. 

Just with the tone and style and everything that’s going on, I just know Matt Reeves is the perfect man to direct the next Batman movie. There are even parts in this trailer where it kind of feels like a Batman movie. It’s so doom and gloomy and I think he’s going to nail the look and feel of Gotham City to perfection. Him and Batfleck are going to make for a great dynamic duo. 

After this final trailer, I can officially say that I’m most excited too see this movie in the next few months. I really hope it turns out to be everything I want it to be.
