Suicide Squad New Trailer

Just two days after Warner Brothers released their new trailer for Batman v Superman, another hotly anticipated movie teaser has been released by them only this time it is due to unfortunate leaks on YouTube despite their efforts to take them down. They refused to have their material continue to be represented in such low quality and had no choice but release it online which they are apparently not happy about, especially since the movie is more than a year away from its release date.

Will Smith as Deadshot

This is a very dark and fast paced trailer here with a look at each character and a fair amount of action. Viola Davis's Amanda Waller opens the trailer during a dinner with two men looking as intimidating as we expect her character to be discussing the inmates with the memorable quotes "Let's just say I put em in the hole and threw away the hole" and "Getting people to act against their own self interest is what I do for a living" that should pretty much tell you that this woman is no saint. We get a lot of Harley Quinn throughout the trailer as well as a few glances at Will Smith's Deadshot. It is not until the end we finally get a peak at Jared Leto's Joker staring at someone laying down on an operating table with a monstrous look on his face saying " I'm not gonna kill you, I'm just gonna hurt you really really bad"

I'd hate to be whoever that is, we also get a look at non other than the Batman pursuing The Joker and Harley. It certainly is even more pleasing to see Batman's appearance in this movie but the question is, what is his purpose here?

The trailer certainly is intriguing but overall very good and well executed. Watch the new trailer for the movie on the video down below. Suicide Squad starring Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Jared Leto, Joel Kinnman and more hits theaters August 5th 2016.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

Ok so following the teaser that was released in April leaving everyone yearning for more footage, the moment we've all been waiting for has finally arrived and what a treat we got ! A brand new trailer for the hotly anticipated was released during the Warner Brothers comic con panel with more than 3 minutes of all new footage, hints at new villains, new faces and a glimpse at the two titans going at it.

The trailer opens with a speech from Holly Hunter playing a US Senator at a hearing condoning Superman for his actions following the destruction of Metropolis in Man of Steel. We then get a fantastic new shot of Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne amid the chaos witnessing the fight between Superman and General Zod which so happens to be Wayne's financial building as spotted on the left of the picture below.

This mostly explains why the two are fighting if in this movie, it's simple Batman sees Superman as a threat and holds him responsible for the death of the people and destruction of Metropolis. The trailer this time focuses more on Bruce Wayne as we see more shots of him eventually leading to him suiting up once more after he retired as the feared vigilante Batman.

We also get a look at Gal Gadot as both Diane Prince and Wonder Woman in action for the first time

with the footage shown in the trailer hinting a possible romance between her and Bruce Wayne. It is currently unknown what her role is in this movie but speculation is that she's the one who forms the Justice League which is also scheduled for a 2017 release date.

Also we get a look at Jason Todd aka Robins suit confirming not only the murder of Todd's murder but a possible cameo from the murderer himself The Joker who is now being played by Jared Leto.

 Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor also makes multiple appearances in the trailer, what his role is in this movie hasn't been confirmed yet or how big it is, but from what was shown he seems to be in control of Superman or he seems to have him in some sort of trance because Superman himself can be seen bowing down to him which is extremely odd because its something you wouldn't expect from him.

 Not only does this trailer give you more details on the plot of the movie, it gives you hints of more characters we can expect to see come March 25th next year. I for one would love to see The Joker make an appearance. Watch the new trailer down below.

Jurassic World (2015) Review

 The highly anticipated Jurassic Park sequel Jurassic World directed by newcomer Colin Trevorrow was released recently to positive reviews from critics. The movie is set 22 years after the events of the first movie, Jurassic World a theme park with dinosaurs which was originally envisioned by billionaire John Hammond has been open for years and with attendance falling because are less thrilled with the creatures, the park's geneticists create a new hybrid dinosaur to spark interest, the highly aggressive Indominus Rex which backfires horribly as the new fully grown dinosaur escapes its containment and terrorizes thousands of the park's visitors.

The film stars Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Vincent D'Onofrio, Irrfan Khan and Omar SY. The film is unique in it's own way which is a good thing, at some points of the film it features the feeling of the first movie in terms of the beauty of the dinosaurs and the wonder and imagination, however the new action sequences and sort of alliance between man and dinosaur is all new to the audience, surprisingly it works and Jurassic World is both thrilling and enticing and is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time. With a surprisingly solid performance from the lead Bryce Dallas Howard, she manages to turn the movie up to another bringing all the action and humor we did not expect, her character which might be her best role to date is a unique addition in the franchise. Chris Pratt who recently burst into the Hollywood scene with his fantastic performance in Guardians of the Galaxy delivers most of the action here with his portrayal of ex-military man Owen Grady, Pratt's character is an dinosaur expert with knowledge on the animals and is also a tamer of the highly aggressive Velociraptors which are known for the fierce nature, he handles the role really with and brings the character to life in a way that he's very believable and less comical. Jurassic World is a fantastic summer thrill ride which will appeal to both audiences young and new, the movie has brilliant acting from all cast members as well as our beloved dinosaurs which we all missed.
