Captain America: Civil War Trailer

The trailer to Captain America: Civil War came out. Watch…..

……. TT___TT when Tony said, “So was I.” So saaaadddd 🙁

Anyways, I love how these movies always come out around my birthday! I get to make my friends come watch with me hahaha.

The trailer looks pretty good so far. Not as epic or action-packed as I thought it would be, but I’m still excited to go see how this pans out. More so than Episode VII. Nothing against Star Wars, of course. I like Star Wars. I’m just not a major fan haha. Self-proclaimed trekkie here XD

….Where’s Spiderman? Is he in this one? Or are they saving him for later?

Also, I don’t really like how they try to make Captain seem like a bad guy, saying he’s a vigilante and all. Corrupt organizations forced him to do things himself. They call Batman a vigilante. I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing. It really comes down to the person.

Well, I can’t wait until May 2016 comes around. And I can’t wait until I see more trailers for next year’s summer movies XD

Star Wars: The Force Awakens

I’m………just very confused and very curious.

I want to know in which direction this movie is going towards. I read up on Star Wars a while back and read about Luke’s kids  and Leia’s kids, but this movie seems to be going in a different direction or a different story altogether. Maybe not. I don’t know.

Did the events of episodes 4, 5, and 6 happen so long ago that people have forgotten about Jedis, the Force, and the Dark Side? Well, I guess you can blame Anakin for killing off all the little Jedi younglings. The way the people in the trailer speak about it makes it seem like it was all a dream or a fairytale.

I guess the only way to know is to go see the movie in December haha. Time to take out the good ol’ lightsaber.

Deadpool Trailer

I don’t know much about Deadpool, but I was very excited to see the trailer go up. I actually wasn’t aware that I had already seen a part of this trailer already a while back. I had thought it was a game trailer. Anyway, I love how crazy Deadpool is. I may not know much about his backstory (except that he has mutant powers derived from other mutants from being in the Weapon X project), but I do like his humor and badassery.

I’m very interested in learning more about Wade’s backstory. I have no idea who that woman he’s with is. I didn’t know he was ill and that was why he went into the project. I do wonder how crazy he will be. I like how he breaks the fourth wall (i.e. talking about the Green Lantern outfit which Ryan Reynolds wore in that movie). Will we hear the voices in his head? Who is that guy who is listing what Wade looks like? What is Colossus doing there? I actually have Lady Deadpool comics, but I’m pretty sure it’s different than the original Deadpool and this movie’s storyline in particular lol.

Either way, I hope this goes well. Esp for Ryan Reynolds. Hopefully, it’s better than Green Lantern. Although! At least that movie wasn’t as bad as some other superhero movies…lol.

Batman V Superman SDCC2015 Trailer

This is the trailer for Batman V Superman that was released at SDCC 2015. I heard it was leaked (along with other trailers) so that the companies decided to officially release it. I actually saw this trailer when I went to see Ant-Man last week.

The trailer looks pretty epic. Bruce Wayne looks uber broody and angsty. I’m guessing that people are having to deal with the after effect of Superman’s battle with Zod or maybe the collateral damage of all his fights.

I have to admit, though, that if I had super powers, people probably should be worried about what I would do, hahahaha. I mean, I’d be like Galadriel. I’d mean to do good, but some of the worst things happen from people who mean well. I already know that a lot of people would be dead because I believe that there are a lot of evil human monsters out there.

Anyways, Superman’s is a good dude though. I can’t imagine him going rogue very often. I know that in the animated series, Batman had kryptonite on the ready in case Superman does go rogue. Haha Batman….always trying to think ahead.

Oh, and Wonder Woman. It was like, “Oooo, wow, Batman! And Superman! Locked head to head in a heated battle full of explosions BOOM BOOM BAM–oh, hey, there’s Wonder Woman–BOOM POW BAM and more Batman angst and Superman guilt….” What’s the point of her being there? Why not have her appear in her own movie or in a Justice League movie? It’s kind of strange just to have her a some weird side character here….

One of the weirdest things that really bothered me in this trailer was that Lex Luther had hair! Haha. I don’t know why it bothers me so much. ….Maybe it’s a wig and he’ll swipe it off for dramatic effect later lol.

Can’t wait for this to come out in 2016.

Suicide Squad – First Look Trailer

I…I really don’t know what to think about this movie.

Harley Quinn is in it and she’s one of my favorite DC characters, but she’s different in this movie. Also, the Joker really creeps me out. Will Smith being in it is kind of random to me. And overall, I just don’t know about this film. I mean, I actually liked the campiness of the Batman movies from the 90s. That gives you an idea of where my tastes are. Goofy and corny. I was never into the grungy, gritty feel that this Suicide Squad movie gives off. When they announced this movie earlier last year, I was very interested in watching it though! But this trailer is making me rethink it….

I do hope that Jared Leto plays the Joker well though. I know people still go on about Heath Ledger’s take on the character–which was good, of course, but that’s a lot of pressure the next person who’ll play that character.

Haha I really have nothing else to say about this movie because I don’t think I’m even going to see it, lol. But I do hope it’s good and people enjoy it.

The Sherlock Special is Coming…

I thought this was hilarious! I watched it for a moment before I realized that the time era was totally different hahaha. I guess thinking of Sherlock Holmes in this sort of setting is normal in my head. I hope this special is good, but I do wonder when the next series will come out.

Haha, that little quip about his moustache.

Ooo! I actually did get to visit Sherlock Holme’s address when I visited London this past spring XD. I also got to see other sites in London too, but I’ll post that in another blog, hopefully soon.

PIXELS Trailer

Adam Sandler’s coming out in another movie. This one has a pretty basic premise. Video game characters/aliens are invading the world and old 80s gaming champions have to save it–Actually, it kind of reminds me of an episode of Futurama! I think it was an episode where the crew is playing with the What-If machine and Fry wonders what it’d be like if life was a video game or something. Anyways, I tried to find clips on YouTube, but couldn’t find a good one. HOWEVER, I did find that a lot of other people thought the same as me.

So is this movie ripping off Futurama? Or did they have permission to borrow the ideas? I don’t know.

Either way, when I first saw the first PIXELS trailer, I didn’t think much of it. I mean, I do like the idea and the movie does play towards our nostalgia for the game we may have grown up with. But I still have reservations. I guess you can’t really tell how a movie will turn out until you actually go see it and make up your own mind.

Goosebumps (2015) Movie Trailer

Hmmmmm……..ooookay.

Goosebumps, if you didn’t already know, was a book series created by R.L. Stine that was pretty popular back in the 90s. The books were of the horror genre, but it was suitable for kids ages 9 and up. The series was so popular that a TV series was also created that featured Goosebump stories. Here’s the opening intro:

Creepy. Love the theme music. Anyways, I used to read a bunch of these as a kid. I don’t remember much of it now, but I do remember being freaked out by these books, haha.

Sony has come out with this trailer that there will be a Goosebumps movie.

The way the trailer starts off kind of reminds me of a typical teen, girl-meets-boy movie. Through out the whole trailer I was expecting more creepiness and some scary stuff….but that never popped up. I know people say that Goosebumps weren’t that scary anyways. It was only kid scary. And I consciously know that! Goosebumps was a horror series, but it wasn’t at the level of Stephen King or the like. However, if you can’t admit that these books were uber creepy, then I don’t think you read the books as a kid, lol.

This trailer didn’t not have the aesthetics or the atmosphere of being creepy. Instead, it felt like this story was inspired by an adventure series or story, like Magic Tree House or  the Spiderwick Chronicles or even Jumanji.

All that being said, the movie looks like it could be enjoyable. I think it’s a nice introduction of an old book series to the new generation and to this decade. I just would’ve liked to see more creepiness and some scare factors. The animated characters/monsters weren’t scary enough or foreboding enough. However, maybe that is the point. Maybe Sony didn’t want it to be too scary so that kids of all ages could watch. So that their parents, who grew up reading these books, could take their kids to watch it and have fun watching a movie based on a book from their childhoods? Who knows.

I’ll be waiting to see how this movie does either way 🙂

Jem and the Holograms Trailer

I never really watched Jem and the Holograms when I was little. I think I mostly watched Care Bears, My Little Pony, and Power Rangers. That being said, I do know enough about Jem to know that this trailer was screwy.

I was out Friday night at the movie theaters to go see Pitch Perfect 2 and was chilling and watching the trailers and previews. This trailer came on and I was like, “Oh, cool, the girl’s name is Jem….is this movie like Hannah Montana or something? It was directed by the same person as that Justin Bieber movie??? What is this? Jem? Synergy??? Is this that 80s cartoon with that pink haired rocker??? WOW! So wrong!”

I literally turned to my friend and said, “They’re making a bastardization of Jem and the Holograms!” Again, I don’t even know the storyline of Jem well, but I know enough to know that it seemed like the only similarities between this movie and the 80s cartoon is the name of some of the characters, the musical world, and Synergy? I don’t even know what Synergy is, but I know that 80s Jem talked to it/her a lot.

I know that a lot of movies nowadays are taking old cartoons and remaking them to fit this day and age, but it’s horrible for two reasons. One, what is wrong with Hollywood these days that they can’t come up with original ideas? Have they grown into complete idiots? Are we in an infinite loop where stories just get repeated over and over again, but with slightly different alteration like bad fan fictions??? And two, if they’re going to remake it, remake it right! I mean, I did enjoy the newest TMNT reincarnation, but I did miss a lot of what the old TMNT movies and cartoons had. The sense of humor. Mikey’s and Raph’s accents. A more plausible origin. *cough* Less Megan Fox. *cough* Lol.

SMH…

Just SMH, y’all…..

Here’s Black Nerd’s take on it and I pretty much agree with him on all the points lol.

Ant-Man (2015) Trailer

Whenever I see Paul Rudd, all I can think about is Mike Hannigan from Friends, lol! I know he’s been in plenty of movies and stuff since, but I will always see him as Mike Crapbag Hannigan, hahahaha.

I know people have been saying this is the same old superhero formula over and over again, but I don’t think it can be helped. How many other ways are there to introduce a new superhero? There’s been so many overdone cliches and tropes and themes in the comic books. It’ll show when they’ve all come to the big screen as well.

Anyways, the movie seems entertaining, at the very least. I guess I’m glad that went with Scott Lang. I just really don’t like Hank Pym. Seemed douchey to me. That’s why I never got into reading his stories much. Which is why I never knew that the suit could also control ants? Is that right? What really are Ant-man’s powers?

The train scene at the end with Thomas the Tank Engine was hilarious, lol.
