Oh baboysai, the overhelming amoung of negative reviews wasn't enough to show how bad it would be? :3c
oh but I honestly didn't know! I'm the type who just downloads on a whim and doesn't read reviews beforehand, except you's guys' reviews in this thread. :p

The order of the names is already such a big problem for you? Oo Who cares, not even nerds care for the obvious reason that Batman is simply the bigger franchise and allows them to pull more viewers this way. It says nothing about the content of the movie. Their crossover comic is titled like that too, since they aren't using the unified symbol anymore.

Seen Godzilla last week and it was pretty much as expected. Quiet good, but it couldn't hold up to X-Men:DOFP, which was great. As others mentioned, the Quicksilver scene was probably the best of the whole movie, Blink got my attention too with their good use of powers, even if she may haven't even spoken two sentences throughout the whole movie. I liked how so many characters had their time to shine, a bit disappointing that Toad, Havoc and co only had cameo like appearances at the beginning. They wouldn't have been able to change much ontheir own anyway though. I'm excited whom they are gonna use for Age of Apocalypse, now that Jeph Loeb is working with Marvel on Shield, he probably will have no influence on the project whatsoever.
You should've read my other post, where I explained why I said what I said. Bottom line is, this is being sold as a sequel to Man of Steel and not a new Batman film. Batman is featured in this sequel like Wonder Woman and Cyborg. I made my point already and you can flame on all you want, my opinion still stands as it is.

Peace.

No one is flaming you:).

Cyborg is going to be there too? That seems a bit surprising.... They are a superhero short of this being a justice league movie.... With wonderwoman, cyborg and luthor it kinda seems like this movie will end up being overly convoluted.... I mean, you are introducing 4 characters that are big enough to have their own movie in one go.

Another thing I found weird is that the movie is scheduled for 2016. Isn't that too long? Its a superproduction and whatnot but 3 years for the movie seems to be too much IMO. The superhero fad might be over by then lol. The movie should come out summer 2015....

The movie is planned to come out the same day as Captain America 3. So normally, 6 may 2016. They are purposely planning a clash with Marvel.
I don't know why but it's a fact. May 2015 would have been terrible for Batman vs Superman because of the potential clash with Avengers 2.

And aside from a cameo, don't expect too much from Wonderwoman and the others.

Well, a clash should be hard to avoid considering marvel's movies out every year and make all the money... I don't think its an issue of them "wanting" to clash with them. I can see why they would avoid releasing the movie at the same time as the avengers though. Worst case scenario neither movie makes as much money as it should.

Well, more than a cameo makes sense although if their goal is to establish an universe with multiple superheroes they shouldn't pack that many heroes into one movie. Marvel had the time to release multiple movies to establish multiple superheroes. The Batman vs Superman movie already has to introduce, well, the god damned batman and set the tone for all movies to come, it sounds a tad too ambitious to show a bunch of other heroes.... Its like they want to do in one movie what marvel did in 5.

May 2016 is proving to be a packed month, as X-Men: Apocalypse is also slated for release then.

I finally got my chance to see Days of Future Past and I really did enjoy it. Some really dramatic moments and the action scenes were brilliant. Agreed with everyone about Quicksilver; I had read about his performance from early press reviews and such, so I was looking forward to it. It was even better than I imagined it would be. Some other standout scenes include Charles and Eric on the jet, Charles and Logan in Cerebro and pretty much anything Eric; Michael Fassbender is just so good. His character has matured over the 10 years or so since First Class and so has his powers.

That said, First Class is still my favourite X-Men film; one major reason is the standout soundtrack; that really helped shape a lot of scenes and emotional moments.

Here's the link to information on the U.S. release for "DBZ: Battle of Gods" in August. Apparently it's getting up to 300-plus theatre openings and Funimation may release it in both English and Japanese. More than likely just English-dub for obvious reasons.

Anyone going to support this, I will. I'd personally like to get the chance to see a Z movie in theatres.

Yeah, a teaser for the third movie with
Apocalypse.
You will have to wait through both credits though, I had gone after the animated ones, missing it. :P

For anyone that missed it or cares, Josh Brolin has been cast as Thanos in Guardians of the Galaxy. Question now is, will it be motion capture or just voice work?

Does it really matter? Thanos is a big massive mofo, as ruffian a Brolin can be, there is really no need for him to do the MoCap as well.

Apocalypse? as in the first and strongest mutant in history? Awesome!

Anyways, the new X-men movie was wayyyy better than the new spiderman movie.

I am not sure apocalypse was the strongest mutant... He was pretty powerful but didn't he have other stuff aside from his mutant powers going on?

The strongest mutant are among the likes of Absalom Mercator or Franklin Richards for example. Reality warpers. They can pretty much do anything but thankfully, such powerhouses are either not interested in domination or are psychologically challenged and can't control their powers. A good example is David Haller (Son of Charles Xavier), it's hard to know his limit but he is crazy as a bat. So, in the end, he has multiple personalities and each personality have a distinct power. Scarlet Witch is an other example (twin sister of Quicksilver, daughter of Magneto). She is extremely fragile but under some circonstances, she is an absolute monster. One day, she had enough and she said 3 words "No ... more ... mutants". Conclusion: only 198 mutants left in the whole world. She depowered thousands, millions of mutants with 3 words. And this wasn't temporary. It was used to reboot the X-men comics.

What makes Apocalypse so dangerous is the fact that he is ... I was going to say sane but "fully functional" is maybe a better word.
Even if he is not a reality warper, his powers are still over the top though:
- As strong as the hulk
- Telekinesis almost stronger than anyone
- Immortality
- genius
- Surnatural gift towards technology (and this was the source of multiple other powers)
- ...

You can read more about him here: http://marvel.wikia.com/En_Sabah_Nur_(Earth-616)
I highly recommend this webside if you want to know anything about the marvel universe

He got some Celestial add-ons, Grey has the Pheonix Force, which is not really a mutant power. Nowadays probably Franklin Richards.

Um, you forgot about "Stryfe". The clone of Cable, who not only defeated Apocalypse, but even proved to be more powerful than Magneto and Professor X combined. Franklin Richards's imagination powers are one thing, but Stryfe was another can of beans all together. And Cable, was the only one who could stop him.

And then, there's Onlsaught, but Stryfe is still more powerful than even him. Look up "X-Cutioner's Song", which is one of the greatest X-Men stories ever written.

Watched the 80s comedy Loverboy, really needed a classical American 80s comedy to cheer me up, and it did! :)

Edge of Tomorrow (2014)

Caught the screening this past Friday and I was really impressed with the acting mostly. The general idea of these actors doing the same scenes over and over, must have either been a dream come true or a nightmare. Emily Blunt is the real star of this film and the story proves it. Tom Cruise is really on the sidelines in this film and it still works to his advantage in a great way. The story itself is pretty simple and uncomplicated as the Human race is on the verge of winning a war against an alien threat from outer space or facing extinction.

Cruise's character manages to get forced into a final battle with the aliens and amongst doing so, ends up acquiring an ability that allows him to relive the same day over again. If practice makes perfect (or close to it) this movie sure did make this an impacting theme for the main characters. There's no typical hero wins the day or two people fall in love crap, it's an all out struggle to learn and understand the key to winning period.

Edge of Tomorrow feels like a video game in many ways too. Losing time after time, and getting back into the game and becoming more effective a player. Not an entirely bad film, there were minor things I had issues with, but overall, it was entertaining and fun to watch. Even towards the ending, your not really sure what's happen and if, what has happened really "happened or not".

8 / 10.

I just recently watched a korean film called Castaway on the Moon. Really need to give a shout for this one, it was brilliant. I don't want to give too much away, because I think the fact that I knew nothing of it before hand made it better experience for me. But basicly it is about a korean collarshirt worker, who loses his job, girlfriend, and is neckdown in debts. He attempts suicide by jumping from the bridge, just to wash ashore on a small island just some kilometers from the city.

Bit weird, off-beat comedydrama, which really builds into a heart-warming story. I really loved it. I never before have felt so emotional while watching someone to eat noodles.
