Web-slinging, Arrow shooting, Joke Telling, fast moving Awesomeness!!

Whats up guys!! hows your week been? mine has been pretty crap to be honest! There hasn't been any major updates this week :-( and there was no arrow. sad times. However! this week I will be..............

  • Previewing Arrow
  • Giving you my thoughts on the Flash suit
  • Talking about The Amazing Spider-Man 2 video game
  • Reviewing Ride Along

Arrow

This week sees the return of arrow after another break! It returns with the 16th episode of the season "Suicide Squad" In the comics the suicide squad is a team of high wanted criminals who form a team to undergo secret black ops missions for the government in exchange for shorter prison sentences. Its clear that this version of the squad features Diggles who was recruited by Amanda Waller. Its a badass squad. And its also a highly dangerous situation for Diggles seeing as though he was involved in putting each one of them into prison. Good Luck Diggles!!
we would presume from the promo that their mission is to track down deathstroke and of course because its his show arrow joins in on the action. We see that Slade must be tormenting Oliver as he sets up the pole with the Deathstroke mask on it just like it was on the island. I don't believe that we will see Oliver and Slade face to face again until the episode called Deathstroke (episode 18) which would probably be the big fight!!! Arrow airs on Wednesday in the US. I'm gonna be honest im not that excited for this episode but im sure its gonna be awesome, it always is!


My opinion on The Flash Suit and more flash pics!

"whats wrong with my neck!?"
*batman voice*
I want to start by saying that i think it looks awesome! the mask is great and we knew that when we first saw it announced. The costume consists of a jacket, pants and boots. The color schemes are burgundy and dark gold. OK, its not red, but so what! it looks cool and realistic! and come on! at least its not spandex! its a cool dark red leather jacket which looks like its done up with a zip! REAL. and his pants are the same color with black lightning bolts on either side. It looks like Grant has easy movement in the suit and so he wont look awkward when trying to move, Sorry Christian bale!come on! I love the trilogy but his neck looks stupid and awkward. If you compare the pics, we see movie and TV budget! we also see a great attempt at designing a very hard costume! In my opinion The Flash costume has always looked a little silly, until this one.
 It looks great. The CW network have stuck to the same design as the Arrow costume, we need consistency. Also the arrow costume in daylight doesn't look the best. Just saying! Now on to the logo, its small and the red part is usually white but i think white adds comic/fantasy to the suit but that's not what we want. we want realistic badassery and that's what this costume is. I'm really happy with it and i can not wait for Flash's pilot!  Stop hating, The Flash is getting his own TV show!!! 


The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Video Game!!!

You see! i'm not biased im talking about Marvel! and the sequel to Marvels game incarnation of Andrew Garfield's spider-man! the first game, was..... good?! it was better than it could've been but it was just like the game versions of Tobey Maguire's Spidey! they were pretty much the same game. However I bought it, played it and liked it! it gets a bit repetitive and the story wasn't great. But it was generally a fun game! Now the sequel looks like its a coming of age for Peter as Spider-Man as the protector of new York. 
The game features Electro, Kraven the Hunter and Kingpin. That's pretty epic! This games events will take place alongside the events in the movie. Now, in this game the world has been expanded and detail has been improved. Players will be able to roam the city as Spidey and in some cases as Peter without the suit. COOOOL! The game, like its previous, has various costumes, however this time each costume has unique abilities. The costumes announced so far are; Iron spider, Noir, Symbiote, and Cosmic spider! so all in all, this game looks pretty coool, there are a few rumors about venom and carnage but nothing is official yet. These villains might also be Easter eggs for future movies, who knows! this game looks fun, cool and like the previous so i think its a good buy! Click here for trailer!!




Ride Along!!!

"My stomach and my ass!"
Ride Along is the action/comedy starring Ice Cube and probably the funniest guy around right now, Kevin Hart. The movies plot is that Hart wants to marry Cubes sister but Cube doesn't like him so he takes him on a ride along with the police, (similar to a bring your son to work day) and Hart has troubles stamping down his authority. figures!! The film has laughs all the way through and will keep you engaged. Its not the funniest film ever but its not horrible, Hart was definitely the best actor to play the part, his funny voice and faces makes the film. The film is very predictable and some of the jokes are common from other comedies. The film does bring its own identity and does well to create comedy that suits all ages considering that it is a 12A. 
The action scenes were surprisingly good when Ice Cube smashes people up and Hart makes us laugh in the middle of it all! However, looking at both of the actors, I fell like it should have had a 15 age rating, this would have let Hart feel more comfortable because he doesn't have to filter what he says or does. I feel like the comedy was a bit too scripted. It never really felt like it flowed naturally. We all know Kevin Harts stand up comedy is the best, so seeing him look like he is on a script wasn't the best. The comedy is held up high all of the way through and it keeps you engaged with story and jokes spaced out well, the film is only 1 hr 40 mins long so its what you expect, I liked it and it was definitely worth a cinema trip! i give it a blog of steel rating of 7/10.
