Ant Man Human Sized Trailer

In case you didn't catch the premiere of the human sized trailer last night after Agent Carter, take a look right here.

Ant-Man...

So the other day I was on Facebook and I noticed the trending sidebar.

Normally, I don't pay any attention to it due to the fact that I'm a hipster and I don't care what the world thinks is popular. Just kidding, I just really don't care. But then two words caught my eye: Ant-Man.

Another superhero movie? Yes! Please! I know that I don't recognize the hero's name very well, but then again I didn't know who Guardians of the Galaxy were and look how that turned out!

I was excited to say the least. So I clicked on the link and found myself at a teaser trailer. Little did I know, because I was too oblivious to pay attention to the key words in the teaser's name, that it was an ant-sized trailer. There was nothing but a tiny little rectangle that appeared with flashing images that were to small to recognize followed by the obnoxiously large title: Ant-Man.


The human sized trailer, where we will actually be able to view the images, will premiere tonight with the new seven part series Agent Carter.

When you think about it, it's a very good advertising strategy and I applaud Marvel Studios for not only getting publicity for Ant-Man but Agent Carter as well. Even though a majority of people will simply wait until the trailer is online, which won't be long, it's still a good way to get the word out. 

For a more comic review of this trailer check out this link below to a blogger I love to read!


And on a side note, if you have read the blog post above, I do have to disagree with the fact that Marvel could have come out with this trailer shortly after the release of Avengers: Age of Ultron trailers were released. The new Avengers, which comes out on May 1, 2015,  probably would have overshadowed the Ant-Man trailers which hits the big screen in July on the 17th. Marvel made a good move.

Guardians of the Galaxy

Alright, I'd like to start off by apologizing for not keeping up to date. I'm going to be starting my senior year of high school and things got a little crazy there for a little bit. But I'm back!

And I'm back to talk about one of my favorite-est things ever. Yes, I realize that favorite-est isn't a real word, but I'm so excited and in so love with this movie and the Marvel universe in general I needed to make a new word to express my inner nerdy spaz.

So getting to the point, we all know that this day and age might as well be known as the comic comeback. Because let's face it: we all love our superheroes. And they are all exciting and entertaining. But we know most of all of them and we are all familiar with their general existence. I mean seriously, who are you going to recognize more: Captain America or Star Lord? Iron Man or Grout? The Hulk or Rocket? The Avengers or The Guardians of the Galaxy?

But Marvel has struck again despite the anonymity of the newest hero team. Another hit movie that the public is loving. I know I personally loved it. The soundtrack was great and the plot was good too. There are a bunch of things I could talk about, but right now I want to focus on how good of a base movie this is. Now by "base movie" I mean the screenwriters, producers and directors have created enough interest to keep this once unrecognizable series going. We could come back to learn about Peter Quill/ Star Lord's father or continue to pursue Thanos. And we can't forget the infinity stones!

As for the performances, I think Zoe Saldana is my favorite. She does an excellent job of creating this strong female character without making her cheesy. Too many times, strong female characters are over done. They lose a certain air of femininity in the process. But Zoe Saldana builds a strong woman who is smart and talented. She is also physical capable of handling herself. Basically, Gamora saves the day. Another performance I enjoyed was that of Vin Diesel. I mean, seriously, the man has three words to convey all of his character's feelings in. And it's great.  Finally, I would like to applaud the rest of the cast. Lee Pace is terrible (in a very good way) as Ronan the Accuser and Chris Pratt has made a very lovely jump from voice acting (The Lego Movie) and supporting roles to taking a lead. And we can't forget Bradley Cooper as Rocket either. Bravo!


Anyways, my general opinion of this movie is probably biased because of my love for superheroes. But honestly, from what I've been hearing from others, Guardians is a hit all around. It's funny and action packed. It's a true summer blockbuster! So if you haven't seen it yet, I highly suggest you hop in your car now and get to the nearest movie theater, drive-in or wherever else you might catch a feature presentation near you. If you have to wait a while, please enjoy the soundtrack provided above!
