New ‘Ant-Man and The Wasp’ Trailer

Wannabe Movie Critic

Really thought they would really explain where Ant-Man was during Infinity War….

Any one else feel a little underwhelmed with this? With everything we just witnessed in Infinity War it’s hard to get truly excited and stoked for the next MCU movie. This is nothing personal against Ant-Man or The Wasp, but I just simply don’t care all that much.

They were even suppose to tell us where he was during Infinity War, but they didn’t say much at all. The movie seems fine and dandy, I in fact like these characters but in the grand scheme of things, it doesn’t really matter, like at all…

Does this take place before Infinity War? After? Tell us something here Marvel, my guess is this takes place right before the events of Infinity War, and it will explain when Ant-Man is absent from the biggest fight the Earth has ever seen. Or maybe Paul Rudd just had a scheduling conflict.

Overall, looks like a fun time, building on a stellar first solo outing. But I just feel empty inside and this isn’t filling any kind of MCU void for me.

New ‘Infinity War’ Trailer Is Madness

Wannabe Movie Critic

It’s madness baby, madness – Dick Vitale voice

So it’s March, which means the NCAA tournament is upon us and it’s officially “madness” time. Well the Mad Titan Thanos probably doesn’t care about how busted your bracket is at this point (thanks a lot Arizona), but there’s a whole lot of him in the new Infinity War trailer.

At this point no one needs to be sold on this movie, we all know it’s going to be the comic book event of the decade, well until part 2 rolls around, but in the mean time we have this to look forward too. This just looks incredible, the Russo Brothers actually did it, they some how managed to pull this thing off. So many characters, so little screen time, but some how, they have managed to blend all these heroes together for what appears to be the team up movie of the century.

Thanos appears to be really pissed off, and is on a one way mission to collect all the infinity stones and destroy half the universe in the process. Everyone is accounted for in the trailer and everyone is going to have their “time to shine” or “their moment” in the film. The whole thing looks epic, we are finally getting some death, destruction and a little torture. Stakes are at an all time high, and everyone isn’t making it out alive. The last shot of Captain America squaring off against Thanos like he doesn’t give a shit was fantastic. The cinematography and colour scheme were just magnificent, couldn’t believe how colourful everything was throughout the trailer.

This was it, this was all they needed to do, this movie is going to be here before we know it and it’s going to make billions of dollars. I just pray it turns out as good as the trailers, because if so, we will truly have something uniquely special on our hands.

‘Christopher Robin’ Trailer.

Wannabe Movie Critic

Hide your kids, because this is actually more terrifying than Pennywise The Dancing Clown.

Imagine sitting peacefully on a park bench minding your own business. Then out of nowhere this thing calls out your name. I would be running as fast as I could to the nearest bunker.

Meet Winnie The Pooh, you know the pantsless bear who loves honey more than anything. Well he’s back in a new live action kind of way. I wouldn’t fully consider this live action, because he’s just a walking, talking stuffed animal, but you get the picture. I don’t know what it is about this bear, but it really scares me. I can’t get over this and why they thought this could possibly be a good idea?

This has a very serious Hook vibe and feeling to it. Remember Hook? Peter Pan grows up and becomes a royal dick to everyone in his life and forgets what it means to be a kid and have fun. Well meet Christopher Robin (Ewan McGregor) who has zero joy in his life at the moment. So when he is reintroduced to his childhood friend Winnie The Pooh, well it’s up to Pooh and the rest of the gang from the 100 Acre Wood to make him a believer once again. Like most people at one point in my life I loved Winnie. Brings back some memories, it’s hard to forget that loveable voice. So when the trailer came out, I know this was about a week ago, I was shocked by his introduction back into my life. Now it may all make sense once the movie comes out, but if Pooh looks like terrifying, imagine what Owl and Tigger will look like.

I loved Hook, so this will be right up my alley, will just have to put on my big boy pants.

‘Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald’ Trailer.

Wannabe Movie Critic

Johnny Depp is here to fully ruin this movie for everyone.

Seriously though. Who’s bright idea was it to cast this guy? Throughout my entire life I’ve had the privilege of watching Johnny Depp act, and he’s a fine actor, but as of late….Well he’s just now Johnny Depp. That’s all I ever see, not the character he is portraying, but rather I just see him as himself.

So why on Earth anyone thought it was a good idea to thrust him into the world of muggles and magic is beyond me. On top of that he’s playing the bad guy. The first Fantastic Beasts was fine, everyone loves being transported back into this world and seeing familiar things and hearing that iconic score that is all too familiar. I even didn’t mind that it takes place in the past and we get a better understanding of the world that Harry Potter lives in.

A movie based in the world of Hogwarts and Wizards without Harry Potter was an adjustment to say the least, but the new additions to the characters was met with reasonable expectations, and everyone seemed to enjoy the first film. If they hadn’t we wouldn’t be getting a sequel. We are now seeing Jude Law added into the mix as young Albus Dumbledore, which for me is going to be extremely strange to see. I can only picture a wise old man, not this young guy, who seems nothing like the person we grew to know through 7 books and 8 movies. I do like Jude Law, so this could very well work, but I won’t know until I see more.

Overall the trailer looks great, visually it’s right on par with the original and I love the beasts aspect of these films. The creatures are a nice additions to this magical world. But someone please explain to me why we have to have Johnny Depp.

The Grinch Is Back!

Wannabe Movie Critic

Max is the definition of dog goals.

“The grumpy Grinch plots to ruin Christmas for the village of Whoville”

So the team behind the Despicable Me franchise is going from Minions to Whoville. Based on Dr. Seuss’s classic book, we all know the story by now right? Grumpy green guy hates Christmas and just hates everything in general and decides to destroy the special holiday for everyone?

Well they are tackling it again, and to be honest I don’t mind a new animated version of this story. It’s great, it always has a great message and I trust the team behind it. Not to much going on in the trailer, except Max being the best boy possible! Probably going to end up being the standout of the movie. A few tricks and pranks are put on by the Grinch which I laughed at. Benedict Cumberbatch is behind the voicing of the Grinch and I think he’s going to do incredible voice work for this.

The movie looks like a ton of fun, plenty of laughs, awesome animation and if you have been a fan of the Despicable Me movies, you will more than likely enjoy this come November!

‘The Incredibles 2’ Trailer Is Well…..Incredible

Wannabe Movie Critic

The moral of the story is, stay at home Dad’s are the real Super Heroes.

Finally, after teasing us for about a week, Pixar finally released the first real trailer for The Incredibles 2!

Everyone’s favourite Super Hero family is back and they didn’t skip a beat, literally, the movie seems to take place directly after the original and that’s pretty cool. I remember leaving the theatre and wanting to see them throw down with The Underminer and now we get to see that happen.

So this time around Elastigrl is being pushed into the spotlight for a new PR stunt to help rebuild the image of Supers. While she’s having saving the day, Mr. Incredible is at home, tending to the kids, well mostly Jack Jack. He needs to succeed at being a stay at home Dad, so Elastigirl can succeed at being a hero. I don’t mind this angle but it seems to familiar to the first, where the person in charge of the “PR stunt” Winston Deavor voiced by Bob Odenkirk isn’t all he says he is. I expect a double cross at some point. Which if this ends up being true, will kind of be disappointing, because we all saw that coming. I hope there are a few surprises in store for us, which I’m sure there are.

Other than that, the trailer is full of great jokes, laughs and Jack Jack really steals the show. Hope Pixar knows what they are doing and don’t screw this one up!

New ‘Rampage’ Trailer Kicks Butt

Wannabe Movie Critic

Animal on animal crime.

“Based on the classic 1980s video game featuring apes and monsters destroying cities”

“Of course the wolf flies.” When I heard Dwayne Johnson utter those words in this trailer, it was in that moment I was all in. The second trailer for Rampage has dropped and it’s more of the same – complete and spectacular awesomeness. I get it, giant monsters destroying cities. We have seen this a million times before, but none of these had Dwayne Johnson teaming up with a giant ape now did they? Dwayne hasn’t had this big of a tag team partner since the Big Show.

The trailer didn’t show us too much more new footage, but they don’t need to at this point. Either your sold or you’re not, and new footage probably isn’t going to change your mind. They didn’t tease that George the giant ape and Dwayne will actually work together in the end to stop the other monsters. I feel like Rampage will be this years Kong: Skull Island – a big dumb fun monster movie that you will enjoy much more if you see it on the big screen. Can’t wait!

‘Untitled Deadpool Sequel’ Trailer!!!

Wannabe Movie Critic

All hail Cable and proper CGI!

Finally! The Deadpool trailer has arrived. I thought it was going to drop this past Sunday during the Super Bowl, but then I remembered that every other word out of Deadpool’s mouth is a curse word, so not exactly family friendly.

This was what we were all waiting for, the reveal of Cable (Josh Brolin) and he looks pretty badass I must say. For those of you who don’t know, Cable, AKA Nathan Summer’s is the son of Scott Summers (Cyclops) and is from the future. They centered the trailer around him, and we got to see him in action. He certainly did not disappoint. Josh Brolin looks awesome, I’m glad they finished his CGI arm, because well that would just look weird if they didn’t. Of course they did, but that’s why I love these movies. Calling out Justice League and the whole “moustache gate” debacle that was Henry Cavill’s stash was perfect. They aren’t afraid of a little friendly competition and nagging.

Not much is known about the plot, they really used the trailer to feature and introduce us to Cable. A ton of new characters are being added, Domino (Zazie Beetz) who looks like the lead vocalist for KISS looks incredible. This movie is going to be a ton of fun we all know that. Hopefully they don’t make it to grand because one of the best parts about Deadpool was how simple it was. I also know how much passion goes into this project because Ryan Reynolds wants to please us fans more than anything.

I’m praying for a Hugh Jackman cameo in some sort of capacity but I don’t think that will happen. Cable was the selling point for this movie and they seemed to deliver on that front. The whole marketing campaign around this movie has just been incredible and we are still months away from its release. They do a better job at almost anyone at marketing their movie and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for us next. The trailer is simply spectacular.

‘Mission Impossible: Fallout’ Trailer.

Wannabe Movie Critic

Henry Cavill vs. Tom Cruise > Superman vs. Batman. Calling it now.

“Ethan Hunt and his IMF team, along with some familiar allies, race against time after a mission gone wrong.”

This trailer was so good and they didn’t even have to show us Tom Cruise running! I pray we get to see Tom Cruise running in the next installment of the Mission Impossible franchise.

These movies remind me a lot of the Fast & Furious. This franchisse was kind of dead in the water after MI3, much like Tokyo Drift, but since then, these franchises have both reached new heights and keep getting better. Now you’re telling me Tom Cruise is going to throw down with Superman, are you kidding me!? Henry Cavill looks pretty pissed off in this trailer, and his moustache looks glorious.

Ethan Hunt always finds a way to get himself into trouble. The whole team is back including Ving Rhames (Luther Stickell), and Michelle Monaghan (Julia). Simon Pegg, Alec Balwin and Rebecca Ferguson are all returning as well. We also got Angela Bassett joining in on the fun!

One the best things about these movies is Tom Cruise trying to one up himself with each new insane and dangerous stunt. Well he did it again, because he’s hanging by a rope from a helicopter. That’s probably so easy for the guy, the balls on that man I tell you. Fallout is describe as a Mission Impossible mission gone wrong. Well that seems to be the case with every movie, but these have become so enjoyable, the plot doesn’t really mater to me. I’m here for cool fight scenes, great action sequences, crazy ass stunts and of course the epic score to these movies! That bathroom fight scene looks phenomenal, can’t wait for this. Henry Cavill playing a bad guy, will be a 2018 movie highlight for me

‘SkyScraper’ Trailer

Wannabe Movie Critic

This really is Die Hard with The Rock, I’m in!

So Dwayne Johnson is going serious. So serious in fact, that he only has one leg! Give this man the Oscar already. Okay is this a little over the top? Absolutely. Do I really care all that much? Absolutely not.

We got Will Ford (Dwayne) a “glorified security guard” living in what seems to be the worlds tallest building known as The Pearl. A former FBI agent, who, after an on the job accident is no longer with the force. He lives in this building with his wife Sarah (Neve Campbell) and their two kids. Will is worried about the security measures and safety and security challenges are piling up.

You totally know where this is going. Everything is going great, but his family gets abducted, there is WAY more going on inside The Pearl that meets the eye and it’s up to Will to save the day. I’m calling an inside job right now, I’m looking at your character Pablo Schreiber! I was hoping this would be a little more of a serious role for Dwayne and it appears that we are getting just that. No one does a bigger and grand scale action movie better than Dwayne Johnson right now, and SkyScraper is no different. Things are blowing up left and right, and he’s even taking on the word record for longest long jump. By now, you are either watching every single movie Dwayne Johnson does, or you are sick and tired of him. If that’s the case, I believe you don’t have a soul anymore. I’m excited to see Chin Han back in action, he was Lau from The Dark Knight and soon to be BFF with The Rock.
