Released: 5th July 2019 Directed by: Jon Watts BBFC Rating: 12A Cast: Tom Holland, Jake Gyllenhaal, Zendaya, Samuel L. Jackson. Avengers Endgame left the MCU in a point where as a viewer I felt closure. The 11 year long Mongul had capped off what it had been building since the first Avengers film and the series has finally started to move into a new era. Spiderman man far from home very much acts like the bridge from the original series into the new phase of Marvel movies. The film picks up almost immediately after Endgame, with the world discovering what had occurred, the five year difference between those killed in Infinity war and Endgame being seen clearly and the aftereffects of the loss of Iron Man being felt. Spiderman has to work with Jake Gyllenhaal's Mysterio to fight the elementals after his world was destroyed by them while trying to blend in on his schools tour of Europe.

What do we Actually know about Bond 25? Last week we got the confirmation that the next Bond film will be titled ' No time to die ', and it was followed with a confirmed release date of 3rd April 2020. As well as being the last film with Daniel Craig in the role of James Bond it may also be the film to cap off the this whole storyline set up in Casino Royale and brought together by Spectre.

So lets discuss what we know about the film so far, what the story is going to be, possible connections to the other films and more importantly how it will stand out not only against the previous 4 films but also in the industry all together.

Released: 1st August 2019 (UK) BBFC Rating: 12A Directed By: David Leitch Cast: Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Vanessa Kirby, Idris Elba The Fast movies have been slowly moving away from their history in street car racing and the gang style movies of the originals, and more towards the traditional action flick, with the first of the spin offs; Hobbs and Shaw, being the one which almost entirely tips the series away from being a car movie and towards a movie featuring some cars. It focuses, as the title suggests, around Agent Luke Hobbs ( Johnson ) and Mercenary ( Statham ) teaming up together to take down electronically enhanced assassin Brixton ( Idris Elba ) as he aims to find a programmable bio weapon. Simply from that description of the film you can see it is starting to take a very silly tone, however its hard to tell from the film whether it is presenting the plot ironically or is trying to take itself seriously. I went into this expecting that it would be a wild ride of a fi...
