Summer round up(Superman vs Batman,Wolverine, Kick-Ass 2)

Yeah long time no see! What should I say? It was hot as hell here and vacation was good ;)
But I want to go back into writing more so I think I will just start with talking about things that happened in the last few weeks.

First off, at Comic Con there was this huge announcement that Man of Steel 2 will have Batman in it.
Boom and everyone went nuts. But I really couldn't get what the big deal was all about? I mean come on, the Avengers happened, it's not like this would be the first time we see 2 or more heroes on the screen together.
And don't give me that crap about how Batman could beat everyone with enough preparation! I had enough of it. Sure Batman's biggest weapon is his mind but how, without a certain green rock, could he bring the man-who-freaking-moved-a-planet to his knees?
Also it won't be Christian Bale as the Dark Knight which is a huge bummer! Overall I enjoyed Man of Steel, it was a entertaining movie, but the more I think about it the more I dislike it. Of course this all could work very well but in the end it comes down to how they create an tension packed situation where we could see Batman and Superman really go head to head. I really can't see that though. Obviously everyone who saw Man of Steel aka Disaster Porn 2.0 knows that there is no way Batman could win in a fair fight, and I'm not only talking about the Nolan Batman, generally speaking. So yeah I would bet we will see some kryptonite in the next movie but I'm not really looking forward to it. Sorry Super-Fanboys.

I also got the chance to see the Wolverine. I will say it's not as bad as X-Men:Origin but it also wasn't as good as it could have been. Two thirds of the movie I really felt like this could be the awesome Logan movie the character deserves but then came the last third arc and it took all the hopes and good feelings I had till there, threw them to the ground and stabbed them in the back. Seriously?! Seriously Wolverine couldn't fight 20 freaking Ninjas? In the comics this guy was introduced by fighting the Hulk for God's sake. They shooting him with 20 arrows in the back and he goes down, without cutting the ropes that were tied to the arrows like any other sane person would have done. And then the Silver Samurai! He's a giant adamantium Robot?! Utter Bollocks!
Ok before I'll curse more I will round this up: Overall the movie is good, but as an comic and movie fan, I just know so many ways how this movie could have been more.
The setting was good, the support characters were really good, the action wasn't all over the place just enough, even viper wasn't that bad but still the last part of the movie pissed me off. End Result: OK if you don't care about such things.

Personally I have a special place in my heart for the Kick-Ass movie, because back a few years ago when I (to my shame) had never heard of it, a good friend showed it to me and it was eyeopening.
The comedic and also brutal tone just appealed to me, as did the thoughts of Dave cause I had some of the exact same when I was younger. So I really was waiting for this flick to come out and what should I say? In my book Kick-Ass 2 is also very good. I'm really glad about a few changes from the books to the movie because the would have given the movie a much darker feeling which shouldn't in any way happen ever. Like which movie can pull it off to make their villain a comic relief plus to give him an ,for a movie, legitimate emotional journey. It's nothing worth of an oscar but still I prefer films that at least try to give their actors something to work with. Jim Carrey, I hear everybody asking? It felt like all his scenes were in the trailers and thats that. Really I liked him but he had overall not enough screen time. The real stars of this movie are Dave and Mindy aka Hit-Girl. Mindy really struggles to live a normal teenager life and the girls she is meeting are nothing short then mini versions of the Mean Girls. But it's fun and you get it, my only gripe was one Plot device to get rid, or win, their situation, but yeah you will see. I also liked how they ended the movie which is as far as I know completely different from the comics. It gave me a positive feeling for the future which is exactly what the first one did, which is probably why I like the flick that much. End Result: Awesome!    


So thats all I got for now! I will try to get more blogs out there soon, foremost about the state of Marvels X-Men and the new comic crossover Event Infinity while I also am working on my website so we will see :)
