Spider-Man Into The Spider-Verse Review

Image
After the dismal reviews given to Sony by critics after the release of Venom, it's safe to say that they had some making up to do. Not only was this the best animated movie of 2018, but it was a great way to introduce movie fans to the idea of different universes with different variants of the heroes. Miles was likeable and funny, but also emotional when the scene called for it. People who are fans of the comics will have seen the twist half way through the movie coming, but to most people in the theatre it seemed to be a shock. The plot revolves around The Kingpin, who attempts to open a rift into another dimension in order to retrieve his wife and child, who have died in his own dimension. Miles was doing graffiti one night in an old sewer tunnel with his uncle, when he got bitten by a spider that came into his dimension during one of Kingpins tests. When his powers start to develop, his spidey sense tells him to go into a tunnel, which leads to the particle collider ...

What to Expect For The Future of The Defenders

Image
Following the cancellation of Daredevil, Iron Fist and Luke Cage, Marvel fans are concerned about the fate of these heroes, and whether they are likely to return or not. When Netflix was given the contract to create these shows, it stated that Marvel Studios can not include Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, Luke Cage or Daredevil in any of their media until 2020. Although this sounds like a bad deal for Disney, The Punisher was not included in this deal, and was added onto a different deal later. This leaves Disney with a couple of options. They could try and convince Netflix, or pay them to back out of the deal. Or they could wait until 2020 for the contract to end. They could start a Punisher series now, but its unlikely to fit with the current tone of the universe. With the release of The Punisher season 2, fans are expecting a cancellation announcement any time soon. If it is cancelled, its almost certain that Jessica Jones will be next, after the release of season 3. There are rumors th...

Fantastic Beasts:The Crimes Of Grindelwald Review

Image
Having loved the last film, and now knowing that we would see more of the big stars like Johnny Depp and Jude Law, I was very much looking forward to seeing this Movie, little did I know that i'd be watching, not only the best of the two 'Fantastic Beasts' movies, but the best Wizarding World movie full stop! The best actors in this film, by far, are the main 3. That being Eddie Redmayne, Jude Law and Johnny Depp. Redmayne delivers the same lovable geek character that he did in the first movie, and it is just as good as it was then. Jude Law does a fantastic job as Hogwarts finest, Albus Dumbledore, and gives a convincing performance that this is the man we see mentor the boy who lived. The film starts out with the president of the MACUSA, handing Grindelwald over to the British ministry of magic after spending 6 months in jail. as it turns out, Grindelwald had taken polyjuice potion and switched with one of the guards, and managed to escape custody with a wagon and some ...

Marvel TV Shows Confirmed For Disney+

Image
Scarlet Witch is one of the confirmed TV shows for Disney+. Although it has not been confirmed, Elizabeth Olsen is expected to reprise her role as Wanda Maximoff. There is currently next to no information about the series so we do not know whether or not the series will be a prequel. If the series IS a prequel, it is likely we will also see an appearance from Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Quicksilver. This would be a welcome addition as many fans were saddened that we wouldn't see more of him after his death in Avengers Age Of Ultron. If the series turns out to be set in the present, it will probably revolve around Wanda’s relationship with Vision, and we will likely see Paul Bettany reprise this role. Although this doesn’t sound AS good as the idea of seeing Quicksilver comeback into the MCU, it would be cool to see a show all about Wanda and Vision on the run after the events of Civil War, and maybe seeing them deal with some crime bosses as they go on their travels. After d...

Spider-Man PS4 Game Review

Image
Spider-Man PS4 is the perfect example that it is possible for a studio to make a good superhero game when time and effort is put into it. This game is one of the most entertaining games I have played in years, from the story to the little easter eggs, everything is created almost to perfection. The graphics in this game are incredible, from the detail on the buildings to the tiny ridges between different layers on the suits, everything looks visually stunning. Citizens are animated extremely well and can even be seen playing full sport matches at various points around the city. The lighting and reflections are incredible, especially at night, the city glows and key buildings like Avengers Tower or the Sanctum Sanctorum really stand out. Most buildings have 3D rooms rendered when you look through windows and actually vary somewhat from building to building. When looking around at the city from the tallest building you can really see the detail of each building and it is fantastic. One...

Venom Movie Review

Image
With Sony's track record of bottling it whenever it comes to making marvel films, you'd expect Venom to be no different. However, much like DC made a comeback with Wonder Woman, it appears that Sony have done the same. When a spacecraft carrying symbiotes from an asteroid back to earth for experimentation crashes, The Life Foundation owner Carlton Drake (Riz Ahmed), attempts to learn more about the creatures in order to cure human ailments. Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) is working as a reporter in San Francisco when a story on the life foundation owner, Carlton Drake, goes south and he loses everything. His fiance, his house and career are all lost thanks to Drakes influence. In a last ditch effort to stop Drake, one of his scientists approaches Eddie in an attempt to persuade him to expose Drake once and for all. When Eddie is snooping around the lab, the Venom symbiote attaches to Eddie and bonds to him. After fighting relentless waves of Life Foundation soldiers, Eddie and Venom...
