Justice League (Blu-ray Review) – The superhero team-up we’ve all been waiting for?

March 24, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa, Ezra Miller, Ray Fisher
Director: Zack Snyder
Running Time: 120 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: March 26th 2018 (UK)

Poor old Justice League. It’s a superhero team-up that fans have been waiting for decades for. When it was announced a couple of years ago it immediately sounded like it would be the biggest movie of 2018. However, following the lacklustre reception to the Warner/DC movies that led up to it (Wonder Woman excepted) and production problems including director Zack Snyder leaving due to personal problems and replacement Joss Whedon extensively retooling the movie only months before release, it certainly didn’t bode well. It also felt like Warner Bros. had slightly given up on it, or at least they failed to generate the sort of hype the movie needed, with a weak marketing campaign and little sense that this is what we’d all been waiting for.

As a result, it’s ended up as the lowest grossing of all the DCEU movies, behind even Suicide Squad. [Read more…]

New Justice League Trailer – Heroes unite and we finally get a look at the villain

October 28, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Although there hasn’t been as much hype for Justice League as we might have expected, the movie is still tracking for a $100+ million opening weekend in the US, when it arrives in cinemas on November 17th. Much of the marketing so far has concentrated on bringing together the heroes – Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash – without giving us much info on why they felt the need to get together.

Now a new, fairly short trailer has arrived, which gives us a little more and a look at the main bad guy, Steppenwolf (Ciarán Hinds). He’s an integalactic bad guy who brings his parademons to search Earth for something he wants, and he doesn’t mind if the planet is destroyed in the process.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.’

Justice League Trailer – Earth is under attack and needs some new heroes

October 8, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

When DC announced its plans for a movie universe, the centrepiece was Justive League. However, with only Wonder Woman getting a decent critical reaction in the run-up to the superhero team-up, enthusiasm for the film has been somewhat dampened. That’s not been helped by the fact that a family situation cause director Zack Snyder to leave the film, with Joss Whedon stepping in to resoot a large chunk of the movie and finish it off.

Now we’re only a few weeks until the film is due to be released, and a new trailer has been released.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat.

Justice League Extended Trailer – Batman, Wonder Woman, Cyborg & Flash unite

July 23, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Following the critical and commercial success of Wonder Woman, many are hoping that the DC universe has taken a turn for the better, and that it will continue with this autumn’s much-anticipated Justice League. It’s certainly noticeable in this extended trailer, that Wonder Woman is pused to the fore.

Of course, there’s also Batman (Ben Affleck), Aquaman (Jason Momoa), Cyborg (Ray Fisher), Flash (Ezra Miller) and maybe even Superman (Henry Cavill), despite what happened in Batman vs. Superman.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat.  But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.’

The movie will be in cinemas November 17th.  [Read more…]

Justice League Trailer – Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg & The Flash unite

March 25, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

With all the summer blockbusters lining up for attention at the moment, it’s been easy to forget that before the end of the year, Warner/DC is releasing its major superhero mashup, Justice League. To help stake its place on the hype scare, the first official trailer for the movie has now arrived, showing us the likes of Superman, Batman, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Cyborg and The Flash, and what they’ll be getting up to.

The trailer follows a series of teasers and character posters, which you can also see below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy.

New Justice League Pic Shows Batman, Wonder Woman & The Flash

December 21, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

It’s been easy to forget that in less than a year, DC/Warner will be really upping their game with Justice League, which will bring together the likes of Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Superman, Aquaman and Cyborg. To remind us, a new pic has arrived via EW, showing the first three of those superheroes lining up.

Of course, before next November’s Justice League, Wonder Woman will be getting her own standalone movie next June, while solo movies for the other characters are already mapped between now and 2019. DC will be hoping these film are better received than than the likes of Batman v Superman and Suicide Squad, which made decent amounts of cash, but haven’t been able to dent Marvel’s superiority in the critical and fanboy stakes.

The Justice League mash-up certainly has plenty of potential though. Expect it in cinemas next November.

Justice League Sizzle Reel – Take your first look at the superhero team-up

July 24, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

justic-league-sizzle-reelDespite the somewhat muted response to Batman v Superman, plans are still going full steam ahead for a Justice League movie, and to get fanboys excited, Warner Bros. unveiled a sizzle reel at Comic-Com. Luckily for us, they’ve put it on the internet so we can all take a look.

The footage gives us a look at Batman (Ben Affleck), Aquaman (Jason Momoa), Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), The Flash (Ezra Miller), Cyborg (Ray Fisher) and more, as they start to team up to take on threats to humanity. There’s no Clark Kent, but anyone who’s seen Batman v Superman will know why they’re hiding him, despite the fact he will be in the movie.

Take a look at the Sizzle Reel below. The movie will be in cinemas November 2017. [Read more…]

J.K. Simmons Joins Justice League As Commissioner Gordon

March 8, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

jk-simmons

It looks like Oscar-winner J.K. Simmons is swapping teams, as after playing Daily Planet editor J. Jonah Jameson in Sam Raimi’s Spider-man movies, he’s hopping across to the DC stable to play Commissioner Gordon in the Justice League movies, according to THR.

There’s not too much info on how the policeman will figure into the plot of the movie, but Simmons will join the likes of Batman (Ben Affleck), Superman (Henry Cavill), Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), Aquaman (Jason Momoa), the Flash (Ezra Miller) and Cyborg (Ray Fisher), and his presence also suggest Gotham City will feature in the movie. The role will see the actor head to the Justice League: Part One set in mid-April, shortly after the release of Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice.

Zack Snyder is directing the movie, which is due for release in November 2017, with Justice League: Part Two pencilled in for July 2019. It’s not known is Simmons is likely to be seen in any of the other planned DC movies.

Jason Momoa Gets Out His Trident In The First Image Of Him As Aquaman

February 21, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

jason-momoa-aquamanWhile there was initially uncertainly whether Jason Momoa’s Aquaman would appear in Batman Vs. Superman, I think we can take this as conclusive evidence that he will, before he gets his own spin-off film and an appearance in Justice League.

Indeed the first image of him in costume above suggests he’s going to have a major role in this, bring the Justice League together. Although it could also refer to the Seven Seas, with Aquaman being the only one true king of them.

We’ll first see Momoa as Aquaman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice in March of 2016 (which is likely to be little more than a cameo), then he’ll appear in Justice League Part One in November 2017, an Aquaman movie on July 27, 2018, and then Justice League Part Two in June 2019.

Here’s how director Zack Snyder revealed the pic.

Out Actor Ezra Miller Will Be The Big Screen Flash, Amongst Other Major DC Comics Movie Announcements

October 15, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

ezra-miller-slideA few months ago Warner Bros announced release dates for a load of DC Comics movies, but other than Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice in 2016, it didn’t say exactly which superheroes would appear in which movies.

That’s now changed, with 10 films having been announced running up to 2020. So what are we getting?

  • Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)
  • Suicide Squad (2016)
  • Wonder Woman (2017)
  • Justice League Part One (2017)
  • The Flash (2018)
  • Aquaman (2018)
  • Shazam (2019)
  • Justice League Part Two (2019)
  • Cyborg (2020)
  • Green Lantern (2020)

There’s also plenty of casting news, with confirmation that Henry Cavill, Amy Adams and Ben Affleck will return for Justice League, while Gal Gadot will be in Wonder Woman’s shoe in a solo movie, and Jason Momoa will indeed be Aquaman.

On top of that, while Grant Gustin is playing Flash on the small screen, queer actor Ezra Miller (Perks Of Being A Wallfower) will take on the role on the big screen. Ray Fisher meanwhile will by Cyborg. The fact both those roles have already been cast strongly suggests we’ll be seeing them in Justice League and they may even pop up in Batman v Superman in one way or another.

If that weren’t enough, there are also likely to be standalone Batman and Superman movies, so Warner really is betting big on its comic book world and that it can find the same sort of success that Marvel has. Of course if the movies aren’t as successful as they hope, the plans they’ve announced may well change.
