Trailer Reaction - Justice League SDCC Trailer

Overall
Like many people I have been counting down the days to SDCC and to the WB panel in hopes of seeing some new Justice League footage. Like many I'm excited for this movie but I'm trying to keep it in check because.. Well its a DC movie and all though they found huge success with Wonder Woman. It doesn't mean there back on track and not editing half the movie out and throwing it in the theater.

Highlights
- Can well all agree J.K. Simmons Commissioner Gordon looks awesome.
- Wonder Woman music never gets old *Turns on Wonder Woman music for intense typing sequence*
- I feel like there needs to be a movie of Batflec standing on buildings in random poses for an hour and half.. I'd watch.
- Apparently Steppenwolf (I think thats who this is) has a giant flaming sword/hammer and really likes to use it.
- This trailer only proves to me that the Aquaman movie needs to come faster. (Never thought I'd say that in my lifetime.. moving on.)
- I don't see a thing at the end of the trailer.. So those seeing green.. its like barely there and could be anything else.

Dunkirk - Movie Review


Source: Slash Film

Dunkirk – PG13

Starring: Fionn Whitehead, Damien Bonnard, Aneurin Barnard, Tom Hardy   
Director: Christopher Nolan

THE GOOD
The sights and sounds of this movie are amazing. The movie is worth seeing for that reason alone. It was nice to watch a movie where it all felt real. There was no over use of CG and if they needed something in this movie they went and made it not built it in a computer. The sound was immersive and put you into the movie. I also enjoyed the lack of dialogue in this movie as odd as that sounds. It’s a movie that got all its points across without bogging it down with unnecessary exposition or scenes that just feel like they are there to fill time. The set up for what’s going on was simple and to the point in the beginning of the movie. The movie moves well and doesn’t feel like it drags at any point. I didn’t find myself annoyed with a scene or hoping it would come to an end already.

THE BAD
This didn’t bother me but if you were looking for a dialogue heavy story. This is not the movie for you. If you were hoping for that one lead character to grab on to and follow through the movie and see the lesson he/she learns? Then this really isn’t one of those movies either. I really don’t have any complaints for this movie.

THE CONCLUSION
This is a solid movie. Just from a visual and sound standpoint you should want to see this movie and I’d find the biggest clearest screen I could find (IMAX or 70mm).

GRADE: A (Yea I’m changing it again)
