Trailers Galore - Godzilla, MIB & Gemini Man

As the entire world (yes the world) prepares to go watch Avengers: Endgame (I’m seeing it on Friday), this week saw a trailers drop for some other high-profile films coming out in 2019. Trailers for Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Men in Black: International, and Gemini Man all dropped this week, with all being unique and impressive in their own ways.

There are great moments in each trailer (Godzilla is of course my favourite), and part of me feels bad that they will go unnoticed with all the hype surrounding Endgame…then again the marketing teams knew that would be the case (dammit). Anyway, let’s get to these trailers one by one...

Godzilla: King of the Monsters

So there are just the 17 monsters (or “Titans”) in this film…HOLY SH*T! The trailers for this film have all been outstanding (the comic-con trailer they released last year is still my favourite). Just like the previous trailers, this one gave us just that little extra in terms of plot and action sequences. The battle between Godzilla and King Ghidorah looks immense, and those extra shots of their fight are awesome. We know that these “Titans” are awakening (but do not know why), and that the characters believe the only way to save the planet is to unleash Godzilla…because he’s on our side right? If you want to see these monsters have it out, it looks like you won’t be disappointed.

Men in Black: International  

When I saw the first trailer, I was straight on board with this film. Having not seen any previous Men in Black films (I know, sorry), this is my first introduction to the franchise, and this new trailer has just upped my excitement. Now I still think the first trailer is better, with better action and comedic moments, but this new trailer is really good. We get to know some backstory for Tessa Thompson’s character, and that she wants to become an agent having witnessed the MIB as a kid. She’s sent on assignment to London (hence “International”) with the loveable Chris Hemsworth (his comedic acting is brilliant). With lots of cool action scenes, jokes and weapons shown thereafter, I can’t believe I’m actually looking forward to seeing this film. A good trailer overall (especially for a first time MIB person).

 Gemini Man
This one was intriguing. I hadn’t heard of this film before, so I saw the trailer with an open mind. It sets itself up as a spy/action thriller, but as it goes on you get the sense the action will be met by equal emotion. Will Smith plays an assassin, and someone is trying to kill him…himself! He was cloned 25 years previously and a younger version of himself is sent to kill him. Why HE has been sent to kill his future self, and why the people in the background want him killed is still a mystery…all I’ll say is I’m looking forward to the next trailer (which I’m hoping will sell this film to me). The music in this trailer by the way was perfect!

Gemini Man releases in the UK on 11/10/19

Why The Marvel Cinematic Universe Is One Of Cinemas Greatest Achievements

Image
A decade in review... When it comes to cinematic achievements, we often hear of the usual list: Citizen Kane (1940) for its innovative storytelling and narrative structure; Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) for being the first ever feature length animated film; and Star Wars: A New Hope (1977) for its ground breaking use of visual effects. But throughout this past decade, we may have in fact witnessed the greatest one of all. I firmly believe we experienced one of the greatest achievements in the history of cinema, and that is the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The MCU is a franchise of films produced by Marvel Studios, consisting of 23 films to date which all take place along the same timeline and in the same universe (but most of you probably knew that). Starting in 2008 with Iron Man, the series went on to produce some of the greatest comic book films of all time, and some of the best cinema we have seen in the past decade. The MCU has been immensely successful both f...

Avengers: Endgame Is Officially Top Of The World

Image
For a while it felt as though the film would fall just short, but now its official… Avengers: Endgame has become the highest grossing film of all time. The smash hit MCU finale finally passed Avatar ’s decade long total to reach $2.79bn this past weekend, capping off what has been an insane year for Marvel Studios. It’s a fitting testament to the amazing work everyone at Marvel Studios has done over the last 11 years, with Endgame being a worthy film for the top mantle. With such a massive opening weekend ($357m in North America and $1.2bn worldwide), a lot of us had assumed Endgame would stroll to the no.1 all-time spot, but instead it ended up being a close call, slowly chipping away each weekend. In Avengers: Endgame , we have witnessed box office history which we will not see matched for a very long time, and probably never to this scale and magnitude. The buzz for Endgame was monumental! In the first 2 weeks of its release, you couldn’t escape the Endgame …it was t...

“ You Trust Me? I do ” WHAT A SCENE! Just as Steve Rodgers is shown putting his trust in Tony Stark , I am putting my full trust in Marvel to deliver the most extraordinary finale to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It’s crazy to think how far we have come, after 21 films and billions of box office dollars, the MCU will culminate with Avengers: End Game …and the wait is almost over. With less than a month to go, tickets for Avengers: End Game are now on sale! To announce ticket sales, Marvel released a one-minute trailer for the film (which you should have seen by now), showing off almost all-new footage and it looks AMAZING. There are reunions, tears, and some great narration, not to mention our first look at Thanos in this film. It looks like the Avengers are finally assembling. If you haven yet done so, watch the new footage below: With the film’s release edging closer, more and more news has been surfacing around the film. Marvel have done a great job with the ma...
