(trailer review) - Zack Snyder's Justice League

First of all, imagine being a director and the studio feel you haven't done such a great job (not like the studio knew what they were doing or if any of them are comic book fanatics anyway), they use your recently passed young daughter to remove you from the film they wanted you to make and get someone else to finish the job, adding the same kind of flair that director helped to make another similar movie popular and a lot of money for the studio's rival or main competition.  I'd feel a type of way, I'm not going to lie.

Warner Bros. have been trying to catch up with Marvel (well Disney, now) since the very first Iron Man movie in 2008.  With nobody at the top detailing a plan and sticking to it, they were simply trying this character, then that character, rather than starting with a character and building a story and an over-arching plot/plan etc like what Marvel did with Thanos and the Infinity Gauntlet Saga spanning 22 or so movies.  Apparently, it was to start with Batman Begins, they asked Christopher Nolan and he wasn't on it and wanted to make his own thing.  Then they attempted again with Green Lantern, but that was a dud.  DC have been chasing behind Marvel all this time and unless someone can tell me otherwise, is the reason as to why Zack has gone back to this project to finish it because he was essentially robbed of his movie.

This trailer looks phenomenal.  I know Zack is a lot of style and flair, but damn!  And considering, he will be putting a little bit more money into it (I think I heard), with no reshoots AND this movie will be something like 4 hours long, I can only assume this movie will fully flesh out how the movie and story was meant to play out without troubled Josh Whedon getting involved.  I don't really talk about the behaviours of actors and directors etc, but from when I heard Josh was being a twit to the actor who plays Cyborg (Ray Fisher) and also removed a lot of his scenes, made me feel a type of way towards him and now I'm looking at Josh sideways.  I hope this movie turns out to be very good and blows Josh's one out of the water.

Directed by Zack Snyder and starring Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Gal Gadot, Ezra Miller, Jason Momoa, Ray Fisher, Jeremy Irons, Diane Lane, Connie Nielsen, J. K. Simmons, Ciarán Hinds

(trailer review) - Wonder Woman 1984

(Official Main Trailer)

(Official Trailer)

What has been really weird of lately is that, I've not reviewed a few trailers and many would go by and somehow I would, well, not review it for some reason.  I'm going to try and get on top of that in a way that benefits us both, myself the reviewer and you, the reader.  In some ways, I'm thankful because I'm not reviewing 26 trailers for one film or TV series, like The Boys for a good example, but then at the same time, I'm not reviewing the subtle differences with these trailers.  The Official Trailer was 8th December 2019, pre-covid....lol!

Anyway, this trailer is a huge step up from an already great looking trailer.  It shows more of what is going on and what is meant to be happening in regards to plot.  It seems as though Maxwell Lord is able to grant people wishes in which Diana Prince wishes for Steve Trevor and Barbara, wishes to be more powerful than Wonder Woman, an Apex Predator and becomes a Cheetah.  She doesn't look like Cats the movie, so that's a good thing and the CGI/Special effects on her may need a little tweaking, but this film looks really good.  It looks like it's about greed and balance.  Imagine, the film is meant to be out already, but hopefully it is out soon.  I'm still loving that majestical flipping truck scene and Wonder Woman is gracefully floating.


Directed by Patty Jenkins and starring Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Kristen Wiig, Pedro Pascal, Connie Nielsen, Robin Wright
