Guardian's of the galaxy: Volume 2




BBFC rating 12
Released May 5th 2017 ( U.K.)
Directed by James Gunn
After the huge success of the first Guardian's of the galaxy movie , it was fitting that Marvel would green light the second space flick. Taking place after the events of the first one, the Guardian's are found as a hand for hire, but after causing a dispute with The Sovereign, they find themselves crashed on a distant planet where they meet Ego, the father of Star Lord. The film manages to maintain a level of interest for the whole run time, having great characters, new and returning, as well as stunning spectacles and some light hearted comedy. Together the total blend of the film works really well, along with the return of a mainly 70's soundtrack and some Easter eggs for those keen eyed views. The storyline is also very compelling, bringing a touch of reliability to a sci fi film, my only issue is that there seems to be multiple stories going on at once for a while in the story, which splits characters up a bit, which can effect how people see the overall plot. However this is minor and in the long run helps to make the team feel stronger at the end, as well as opening up new ideas on each of the characters. I think that Kurt Russell's Ego is very well done and the returning cast also does really well. Overall this is one of the top Marvel movies so far, and signals a good direction for the new Sci film films in Marvels Arsenal.
Contains mild Bad language and violence
My rating 8.5/10

Some of you may have heard of a real tragedy lately, that is frankly really depressing. Zach Snyder has taken a break from Justice League due to his daughter's suicide earlier this year, and I would just like to say that my thoughts are with Zach and his family as he goes through this difficult period. I'm sure that Autumn will be missed.

Top Gun: Maverick

Image
 Released: May 27th 2022 Directed By: Joseph Kosinski Cast: Tom Cruise, Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm, Charles Parnell Legacy movies seem to be all the rage these days (Past massive cinematic universes that is). Some of pulled it off really well, with films like Blade Runner 2049 almost being better than the original, some not so well like independence day resurgence, some being a bit of fun to pass off as alright with Jurassic World, and some being The Force Awakens. How these movies do well is another story, now though the latest movie to try its hand at a legacy reboot is Top Gun. No matter what you think of the original it is fair to say that the cultural impact and quotability is much greater than any plot point in the originals story, with not much to go on past some manliness and jet fighters. Top Gun 2 however is a completely different story. From the get go you know the stakes are higher and actually manages to make the "fish out of water" old guard trope...

Deadpool 2

Released 16th May 2018 BBFC rating 15 Directed by David Leitch Cast: Ryan Reynolds, Josh Brolin, Morena Baccarin, Julian Dennison, Zazie Beetz After the overwhelming success of the first Deadpool film, the second instalment was inevitable, with the same formula that made the first one great. The film revolves around Wade Wilson, AKA Deadpool ( Reynolds ) attempting to save Firefist ( Dennison ) from time travelling assassin Cable ( Brolin ). While using similar ideas and call-backs to the first film, this one feels completely different, and in some senses more like Deadpool than before, filled with more references and nit pics to Dc than before, and arguably better action. The film also remembers to not take itself too seriously like the other one did, with more events in the film which try and mess with the timeline as much as possible without caring about the outcome. Overall the film does well to be entertaining, maybe more so than the last one, keeping good action flowing thr...
