The Ant-Man and The Wasp Official Trailer!!!

The Ant-Man and The Wasp Official

Despite 2018 already filled with much more anticipated movies like the incoming Black Panther and major superhero team up, Avengers: Infinity War, another Marvel movie to watch out for is The Ant-Man and The Wasp.

Tentatively, taking place after the events of CaptainAmerica: Civil War, it shows an apprehended Scott who needs the help of Hope Pym and even Hank himself to stop criminal activities. The light teaser released by Marvel shows the capabilities of Hope in her Wasp suit, as she effortlessly makes light of a knife thrown at her by running on its blade.

The Ant-Man and The Wasp Official Trailer hits July 6, which is their last movie in the calendar year of 2018.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi Review

Star Wars: The Last Jedi

Synopsis:

Rey develops her newly discovered abilities with the guidance of Luke Skywalker, who is unsettled by the strength of her powers. Meanwhile, the Resistance prepares to battle with the First Order.

The second instalment into the third trilogy of the Star Wars franchise, The Last Jedi steps away from the traditional setting (it is the most unique one yet), looking like Star Wars but feeling like something else. As you know, it is always about how everyone still has a choice regardless of Destiny's role in the Star Wars universe.

Rian Johnson finally gave us a proper look into the conflict of conscience Kylo Ren experiences (arguably better that what the prequel movies could have offered in showing the origins of Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker). At times Kylo seemed like he was on his way back and then he's back on the dark side again, a broken man devoid of reason as he allows his rage and impulses to drive him and ultimately cloud his judgement. We get to see Rey, curious and inquisitive as ever, searching for answers, even if she will have to go to the dark side to get them, relentlessly seeking a mentor to help her "find her place" in the galaxy and get answers to questions about whatever has been awoken inside of her. Other great sights involve Luke showing his mastery of the force, Leia using the force, Finn and newcomer, Rose enjoy moments of brilliance.

The Last Jedi

There's much that the movie had to offer, however, certain arcs were missing. For example, we didn't get to see enough of Captain Phasma or even her backstory, the identity of Rey's parents hasn't still been revealed even if speculation suggests Iden Versio of Inferno Squad is her mother (entirely accurate if you check the timeline), what would happen to Leia (Carrie Fisher, Rest Her Soul) in the next movie. I'm guessing we will have to wait for answers in the next movie.

Easily a good watch for both old and newcomers to the franchise, even though there'd be a little head scratching to get around some of the events on screen - 8/10

Miscellaneous

New tech, new planets and new creatures e.g. Porgs

Showed what "light-speed" looked like in slow-motion

The Punisher Review

The Punisher.

Synopsis:

After exacting revenge on the people responsible for the deaths of his wife and children, Frank Castle uncovers a conspiracy that runs deeper than New York's criminal underworld. Now known as the Punisher, he must dig deep into the conspiracy to discover the truth about injustices that affect more than just him and his family. Assisting the vigilante in his quest to fight criminals are best friend Billy Russo, who runs private military corporation Anvil, and former NSA analyst Micro, who shares common enemies with Castle and helps him as part of a so-called marriage of convenience.

We continue Frank Castles story as he intends to live a normal life and then he is pulled back into a world of chaos he'd so desperately tried to leave behind, discovering that there was more to the killing of his family and the people behind it. The Punisher shines brighter, even more so than the  supposedly bigger street level superheroes in the Netflix shows (Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist and Luke Cage). Jon Bernthals's performance is top-notch. Some beautifully executed events were the fight scene with the Jazz song in the background and the growing relationship between Frank Castle and David Lieberman. The show didn't make me feel like proper retribution took place, I mean The Punisher's mantra is "No Trials, No Bullshit." It  left so many questions, which would hopefully be answered if it were ever renewed for a second season 

Bottom line, it is so good that it's doing better than it should be, it was a decent telling of Frank Castle's story the previous movies never did well. 8/10
