First Official Trailer For "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" Released

When the first teaser trailer for BvS: Dawn of Justice dropped a few months back, I liked it. I didn't love it, but it gave me enough to make me confident that it would turn into a very good film. But having seen this official full-length trailer, I gotta say I absolutely loved it. This trailer gives us a whole lot of new footage. In fact, almost everything we hear and see is completely different from what was shown in the teaser. While the trailer ran a full minute longer than most trailers, it leaves wanting to see so much more and that's really what trailers are supposed to do.

In the trailer itself we see some pretty interesting things. Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman is seen in action for the first time and while we didn't see a whole lot of her, what we did see didn't look all that bad. There is also a Joker reference, which was one of my favorite parts because of what it potentially represents. The scene, while very short, shows Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne looking at a suit with yellow paint on it that reads "HAHAHA JOKE'S ON YOU BATMAN". If you take time to examine the costume itself, you can see an "R" on the suits left side of the chest. That symbol, as most people know, represents Batman's sidekick Robin. In the comic, Bruce Wayne retires from being Batman after the Joker brutally murders Jason Todd, who was the second Robin. Seeing this reference being made in the trailer is something many of us hoped for but didn't think would happen.

That's not all, however. As I mentioned before, this was a long trailer so there's a few more things to get to. We see the battle between Superman and General Zod from Bruce Wayne's perspective just as the battle destroys one of Wayne's buildings and killing a lot of innocent people in the process. As the building is coming down, Bruce does opposite of what the other people are doing and runs directly at the cloud of debris in a way in which only someone used to running straight into danger could. Shortly after, we see Bruce begin training once again.

These were, at least in my eyes, some of the key moments from the trailer although there is much more to be seen. There are some fight scenes, as well as our first sight of kryptonite. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is directed by Zack Snyder and is set to release on March 25, 2016.

What's Your Favorite Scary Movie?

What is it about horror movies that draw audiences in to see them?   There is the thrill of being scared, sure, but is that really as far as it goes? I think not. You see, more than any other genre, horror films are a product of their generation and they typically speak to or highlight the societal issues that are going on around the time that a given horror film is made.   In many ways, horror films help us understand or comment on important issues such as race ( Get Out ), sexuality ( It Follows ), and mental/physical/emotional issues ( The Babadook ). Horror is a genre with many faces but for this particular article, I will touch on what I believe to be the best horror subgenres, the slasher film, and discuss why they are important.              I can understand why people may be a bit turned off by slasher films. In many ways they are a lot closer to reality than a monster or demonic horror movie. Many slasher films...

The Best and Worst Films of the Year (Pre-Oscar Season)

With the "Oscar Season" about to start, I thought I would give a list of my favorite movies of the year so far as well as the most disappointing ones. This list will obviously only contain films that I have seen so movies like Ex-Machina , Me and Earl and the Dying Girl , and Dope , which all seem like terrific movies, will not be on my list because I don't yet have an opinion on them. This list also reflects only my opinion so it will look a lot different than your list or somebody else's list, but the beautiful thing about film is that it is subjective and everybody will have different opinions. So while you may not agree with my picks, others might. There is no right or wrong list when it comes to movies. I will start off with my 3 most disappointing movies before talking about what I feel are the top 10 best  movies of the year so far. So without further ado, here are my lists: Top 3 Most Disappointing Films 3. Aloha Going into this movie, I thought there co...

Classic Movie Monday: "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" & "Three Days of the Condor"

Great films often borrow elements from other great films. Captain America: The Winter Soldier borrowed from Three Days of the Condor and in doing so, it revolutionized the Marvel Cinematic Universe. For the first time ever, they proved that the movies in the MCU could tackle different genres. For this film, they went in the direction of 1970s political thrillers. The Winter Soldier sees Steve Rogers as a fugitive running from the very people he thought were the good guys, people he served under because he thought they were doing the right thing. As he is being hunted down, Captain America must uncover the truth behind those who are after him.  Leading the charge against Cap is none other than Robert Redford as Alexander Pierce. The fact that it is Redford who is in the role of Alexander Pierce is important because in 1975, Redford starred in the film Three Days of the Condor . This film sees Redford as Joe Turner, a CIA code breaker who walks into his office to find the en...
