Movie Sequels and You

Let's put the movie reviews aside for a bit and talk about some of the upcoming sequels coming this 2018 and dabble a bit into the realm of new films out of the horizon. To add to the film hype let's even include films coming out this week just because we can. Also just to add to a bit more hype to these upcoming films I'll be adding a quick commentary to each of these films.

Ocean's 8

I'll be frank about this one. I never really watched any of the previous Ocean's movies but from the trailer alone all I could think of is how they went all ghostbusters on it again and replaced the main leads with women. Will it be good or would it follow in Ghostbusters footsteps? The reviews beg to differ but for now let's give it a 6. Heist movies are always a fun thing.

Note: After watching the film it's a solid 9.5/10. It's fact paced and witty enough to keep you on the film at all times but at the end of it all, there isn't enough wow or enough to tug at your heart strings to get a 10.

The Incredibles 2

I N C R E D I B L E. Before Disney acquired the Marvel properties last 2009, there was only 1 Superhero film and like all Disney-Pixar films, if you were a child during the time of its showing it would be a film you'd remember forever. I for one am excited to enter the world of Disney Superheroics before the Marvel acquisition since like all Disney Pixar films, the art and music will be amazing and here's to hoping for a Marvel Incredibles crossover.

Ant Man and the Wasp

The Marvel films following the first Avengers film is such a breath of fresh air that it's hard to believe sometimes that the first Guardians of the Galaxy Film and Ant Man belong to the same cinematic universe. Ant Man was an accessible film for newer fans following Scott Lang instead of an older Hank Pym leading to some great comedy and action sequences. The infinity war event just happened recently too but what ever did happen to our none-spider based insect heroes? :O

Hotel Transylvania 3

Adam Sandler films have this weird love hate relationship where the live action films get worse over time (Jack and Jill) while the animated films get better over time. Hotel Transylvania is that animated film. The first was funny and witty for its time while the second was charming and sweet but let's see if the third installment after a TV series no less would follow the same trend of Kung Fu Panda.

Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-it-Ralph 2

I'm a self-confessed pop culture nerd and a gamer to some extent so the news of the first Wreck-it-Ralph including some retro gaming icons made me so giddy that I couldn't wait for its trailer. Seeing the likes Zangief from the street fighter series and if I'm not mistaken a zombie from either resident evil or the house of the dead just made me so hype that to this day even after watching it so many times its still in my top 10 movies to watch when you're bored. Just the easter eggs alone made it so rewatchable and when it comes to the sequel I'm still excited because this isn't a LAN party anymore. The internet is where it's at <3

Johnny English Strikes Again

Rowan Atkinson is a funny man. If you wanna see some good comedy look up some old mister Bean episodes particularly the live action ones or even the Mr Bean films. The Johnny English series of films is what would happen if you brough the Austin Power films to a broader audience with the Brit being played by an actual Brit and the jokes being more appealing. Who's up for some fish and chips?

Sequels aren't everything though. With new films looming over the horizon, there's so much to look forward to.

Teen Titans Go! To The Movies

Originally thought of as the disgusting offspring of the original Teen Titans cartoon many years back, Teen Titans Go! is the kind of show you'd really have to let mature before it could be better. Now finding its role as a parody off its former self and an outlet for Cartoon Network's pop culture know-how, Go! is one of those cartoons worth watching here and there. If the Darkseid event is any indicator of how this movie would be, I'm all for it. They even brought back Slade(or Deathstroke just to be this films villain and they're even evoking Deadpool of all things.

Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse

Between every film incarnation of Spiderman and this film, Into the Spiderverse is the one I want to last the longest. I want action fiures, tv shows and everything in between. Ran out of ideas for which Spiderman to use? Why not use all of them. On a serious note though, this film is a great way to introduce Miles Morales to the wider audience and with the right set-up, even let the world be ready for other Spider-men.

Christopher Robin

Winnie the Pooh is one of those cherished and beloved characters that no matter how it's presented, it would always be wonderful. I remember one time as a kid I was playing kingdom hearts and Pooh suddenly came out. It was a welcome addition to an otherwise incredible game. This film revolves around Christopher Robin having grown up but just because he got a little older didn't mean his friend left him too. With Paddington Bear, Ted, Yogi Bear and now Pooh in the mix, I can already see the live action Carebears movie coming into fruition soon.

Crazy Rich Asians

We support tita Krissy haha

The Happytime Murders

No sesame all street. The Happtime Murders is a murder mystery with muppets and profanity. It's literally the same guys that made the muppets and they took away the child friendly environment. I think that's all I need to know since I'll be watching this film and enjoying every minute of it (I hope).

and not getting too ahead of myself something for 2019

How to Train Your Dragon 3

Watch the trailer and prepare your tissues cause you're gonna be in for a ride.

And that's just what I'm looking forward to. There are many more fimls coming like the Halloween Remake and the IT sequel but sadly that's all the time I got for now.
