It's been five years since  Godzilla , the debut film of Legendary's new Monsterverse, returned the atomic giant to our cinema screens. Taking our criticisms of the first film to note; the biggest being that it focused for too long soley on the human characters, writers made it a mission to make the sequel more of an ensemble piece: blending a more balanced mix of monsters and humans for the story. Being the 35th film of the Japanese icon's franchise and despite bearing such a grabbing title,  Godzilla: King of the Monsters,  is as disappointing as the monsters are visually grand. As the story begins, we meet Madison Russell, played by  Millie Bobby Brown,  who almost anyone with a Netflix account will know as  Eleven  in  Stranger Things . Her mother, Dr. Emma Russel, is a leader of a group of scientists who for some reason think it's a good idea to release more giant monsters upon the world, despite Madison's brother losing his life in ...

The Circle of Life Black Panther is shrouded in an impenetrable force field of critical acclaim across the board. The few negative reviews out there actually ended up trending on Twitter as if word against it is a blasphemous crime. Is it a perfect film? No but Black Panther is a Marvel Cinematic Universe entry that stands on own legs. It's themes and particular moments resonate with you as an individualistic cinematic experience. Whilst it does have flaws which shouldn’t be omitted from discussion, Black Panther’s a great time that’s worth your money. Springing to mind is the characterization of the Black Panther himself, T'Challa. A week after the events of 2016's  Captain America: Civil War ; T'Challa, the Prince of technologically advanced Wakanda, must step up to take the place of his recently deceased father as King, whilst taking on the challenges that come with it. With a performance by  Chadwick Boseman  that's cemented the role as his own, T...

It follows an older, broken Wolverine in the year 2029, who has been caring for a senile Charles Xavier due to his telepathic powers coming unstable & most mutants in the world appear to be gone. Once they come across Laura, a young mutant whose in danger, Logan & Charles take their weary selves on one final adventure in getting this girl to safety. When asking some people in the last few months if they were going to see Logan , a surprising amount expressed they're beginning to get tired of the family-friendly superhero film formula, that it's starting to feel too generic & safe. Simultaneously being what feels like a heartfelt farewell to Hugh...

 Dawn of Justice: The DCU Rush-Job Batman V Superman: It’s not a great film. It’s not a bad film either. It’s an experience which had an incredible amount of potential from the title alone. The result: with certain great performances aside, it has followed other instalments to franchises that buckle under the heavy and unnecessary chore, to sell cinema tickets for films that don’t even exist yet (looking at you, Amazing Spidey 2). How does the film actually deliver on the promise of its name? The answer: “Meh”. Characters & Casting Firstly, let’s get positive. Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne/Batman is a triumph. Damaged; violent, brutal, bitter and fuelled with rage. Batfleck carries out a much darker version of the caped crusader that has exceeded expectations by far. The character’s train of thought and motivations connect beautifully as a hero who is clearly worn down by tragedies of his past. He is now facing a god-like being whose existence creates dire ...
