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.

Film Review: "Ready Player One"

There aren’t very many directors who have had quite the career that Steven Spielberg has. The man who directed the very first blockbuster in  Jaws , is the same man who has put together some of our most beloved films such as the E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial , Jurassic Park , Close Encounters of the Third Kind , and the Indiana Jones series. It’s the same man that, aside from giving us these wonderfully imaginative films, has also given us hard-hitting dramas such as Schindler’s List , Lincoln and Bridge of Spies . His career has spanned 50 years, and the 71-year-old director shows no signs of slowing down. With his latest film, Ready Player One , Spielberg once again delivers an awe-inspiring film that captures the wonders of the imagination. It stars Tye Sheridan as Wade Watts/Parzival, Olivia Cooke as Samantha Cook/Art3mis, Ben Mendelsohn as the villainous Sorrento and Mark Rylance as OASIS creator James Halliday. The film takes place in 2045 Columbus, Ohio. In this futuristi...

"Coco" Movie Review

             Sometimes a movie comes out and it seems to speak directly to you. It might be because you relate to the characters or it has a message that you need to hear. Watching Coco , Pixar’s first story revolving around Mexican culture, I felt like I was watching something that was made specifically for me. Much like most of Pixar’s other works, Coco is the kind of animated film that can be thoroughly enjoyed by adults just as much as kids. It is a wonderfully made story that uses Dia de Muertos (Day of the Dead) to celebrate Mexican culture.             Coco centers around Miguel and his family, all of whom are shoemakers. Although Miguel is being raised to follow in the footsteps of all his other family members, he has a different dream. His dream is to become a musician just like his idol, Ernesto de la Cruz. The only problem is that music has been banned from Miguel’s family for...
