After the release of 2016's suicide squad, the fan base was truly rattled in a way that left most of us confused. A lot of the film has been sorted out though, with most of it being torn apart to the point that we have ended up knowing most of what is to know now, but a lot of things were missing from the film that are speculated for the next one due in 2020. One of the main things was Deathstroke, one of the key characters frontage comics which hasn't yet been seen on the big screen, only making an appearance on the 2013 show Arrow. However there is a large chance of him appearing in this one, with his appearance confined in the next batman film next year. He was speculated for this one, but was seen no where in the film. The film will probably run a lot smoother, now that they have all been introduced, and less backstory/ origin flashbacks, giving more way for actual action. Hopefully there is more batman in the film, and maybe more joker, just to give something for the squad...

Who is the best joker and why Jared Leto isn't After the initial release of suicide squad, there was a lot of mixed reception about Jared Leto's portrayal of the iconic character, but let's face it, it wasn't great. So I'm going to look into the best Joker over all the times we have seen him on screen. 1. Mark Hamill. Probably that best animated joker ever seen, due to the fact he is the only one people actually remember from the animated Batman shows. Player the joker in the Batman animated series, Batman Beyond tv series and return of the joker film, as well as 3 of the four Arkham games, thus joker is certainly one of the originals and longest running portrayal of the character, as well as the most frequently used. The character is so well done j this version as it sticks straight to the comic books with the story of him, as well as his actions and speech style. The fact is, is that there is nothing that Hamill could go against with t his version, because he...

If you read my previous post, then you may have read that it was not as good as the film should have been. There are of course many reasons for this, the first being the fact that the script was written in a matter of six weeks, which is incredibly fast, and after the feedback from Batman v Superman, Warner Brothers are probably regretting this decision. As well as this  a lot of the film had to be re-shot, as test audiences preferred the lighter tone of the film, over the original dark concepts. This however made the film very depicted together, making it lose a lot of sense from act one to two, and the gives reason for the sudden change of tone. As well as this the soundtrack to the film was very slapped in, with a lot of it seeming very out of place in certain areas. The story itself for me had a lot of issues, one being that there are just too many characters there, even after the death of slipknot, causing the film to seem very cramped trying to focus on all of them. I did lik...

BBFC rating 15 Released August 2016 Directed by David Ayer Being the third film to enter into the D.C. extended universe, and its fair to say a risky take. They've taken a concept that we haven't really seen before in a super hero movie, as well as a lot of characters people haven't heard of, and put them really early in a collection of high grossing films. It has paid off in a way that they have become much more than they were before this film but in another way though, it hasn't. I feel like after Batman v Superman, they needed to come back with a film that met people's expectations, and it hasn't. It was not as good as was hoped for, but by no means am I saying that it was a bad film, its just that the film has lacked something, and because if that it lust the film in another light than it should have been. It is an entertaining movie however, fulfilling that demand for action that most fans were looking for, as well as keeping it with a bit of humour....

BBFC rating: 12 Released: 1993 Directed by Andrew Davis As the thriller industry has only gotten bigger over the past years, in films categorized as 'manhunt' films, this is a good one to watch, as it is a gritty original action thriller with Harrison Ford, and Tommy Lee Jones, with suspense, actions and a really gripping story. Following the events after a murder of a Dr Richard Kimbles wife, the good doctor himself has been blamed for her murder. The film follows his escape from death as he runs away from the law. This is a great film and is really well directed , balancing drama with action very well. If you are one of the people who find Bourne a bit too confusing, this is a good film to start out at.  Contains bad language and violence My rating 8.4/10 Just a heads up, next week is a new series I'm starting called weekly looks, starting next week with a week of suicide squad, with a post everyday from Tuesday to Friday, next week. Also please follow my pag...

 BBFC rating: U Released 1977 Directed by George Lucas The original entry to the star wars franchise, and is there really much point of me reviewing this film, because let's face it, you've seen this film. But in the interest of fairness, let's do it anyways. What is seen as one of the first sci fi films that appealed to all audiences, a new hope has everything you could want from a film, to a mysterious bad guy, to a young hero and a bad ass sidekick, George Lucas has done really well to produce a master piece ( until he went and ruined it in 1999). As well as the fact that the characters of Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker and Han Solo have gone down in pop culture history. So follow Luke and Solo on an epic adventure across space and enjoy amazing effects for the time and great story telling. Honestly if you haven't seen this film then you have been living under a rock or just haven't got round to living a life yet. Highly recommend it, go watch it now and wat...

BBFC rating: 15 Released 2010 Directed by: Chris Morris I was once told by someone that if a movie doesn't make a lot at box office, its not a good film. This film defies that claim in an amazing way. From director Chris Morris come this hilarious original film about terrorism of a lot things. The comedy in this film is superb, with a lot of quotable jokes and remarks, easily breaking a six laugh test ( a system on finding out how funny a film is). It's not as if the film has unknown faces in the film, starring Riz Ahmed, who was recently in Bourne and Rogue one, and Benedict cumberbatch of all people. Honestly this is a laugh-out-load film, full of comedy, emotion, and enough references to Alton Towers to put Thorpe park out of business. Highly recommend this film and is a truly hilarious film. Contains bad language and violence. My rating 8.5/10 Image subject and copyright to studiocannal studios and Film 5. I do not own this image. Also go check out a YouTube c...

BBFC rating: 12 Released 2005 Director: George Lucas The last instalment of the prequel trilogy for Star Wars, and this is probably considered the good one of the three, as there is occasionally something going on that interests us in the plot, whether that is Ewan McGregor fighting a four armed robot on cliffs, to an Emo and a ginger fighting above some lava on floating platforms. However, this film has improved from the last two, as it has cut back on the mindlessly dull talking scenes, and has some good story in it, actually explaining how episode IV came along, and how the Star Wars universe ended up as it was. This does not go to say that the film is without flaws though. Apart from the list of really dumb things to happen in the movie, listed above, it also goes around ruining a lot of other things in the overall plot, like explaining that Vader is in his suit because he had a nightmare, got scared, then couldn't quite jump high enough when it mattered, as well as the ...

Released 16th December 2016 BBFC rating: 12A Return to the star wars universe in what is undoubtedly the best star wars prequel ever, even though it wasn't hard competition. It is even possible to say that this is one of the best star wars films in the saga. Return back to the story with new characters, played excellently by Felicty Jones and Diego Luna, as well as the great droid K-2so, played by Alan Tudrik, and the addition of Mads Mikllesen. The film has a great story with interesting action and a lot of tie ins to the saga and the extended universe, such as the clone wars and rebels tv series. Director Gareth Edwards has done well to create a meaningful part to the story, that portrays a lot of emotion and feel good moments. It also does well to fit into the overall story of the original trilogy, which is nice, as well as fixing the problem as to what happened to the characters in the film, after its events, as well as other ones in the universe. This is a highly recomme...
