Doctor Strange Review

Have been wanting to watch Doctor Strange for awhile now.  It is now on Netflix. So gave it a watch.  Find it pretty amazing that this is the fourteenth movie in this Marvel world.  What makes this one standout it brings in the this world, magic.  Really like how they explained and showed how that works.  It all makes sense. When I first seen the trailers for this movie thought it was going to be more serious than the other movies.  Well I was wrong.  There was a lot of comedy.  All of which (for the most part) was funny.

Didn’t know much about this Marvel character.  After watching the movie want to know more about him.  He is a pretty cool character.  Enjoyed this movie a lot.  It was something different for a superhero movie.  There might not be any surprising plot points. Nothing really new on that front.  However it was very fun watch.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season Four Review

The fourth season of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.LD ended this past Tuesday (May 16, 2017).  Have liked this show from the start.  While the first two seasons were just ok.  Things got better half way though the third season.  This four season has been even better.  They did something different this time around.  They broke the story up into three segments.  Each acting like a mini season.  With one main storyline tying them together.  This worked out great.  Made it a lot more interesting.

The show improved a lot this season.  The storylines were better and more fun.  The action and fights were the best they have done as well.  The biggest improvement was with the visual effects.  They did an awesome job with Ghost Rider.  The show has been picked up for a fifth season.  So hope that one is even better.

Marvel’s The Defenders Trailer

Every since Marvel’s and Netflix show Marvel’s Daredevil became a huge hit.  There were talks of three other shows.  Which all take place in the same Marvel world.  Even before those three other shows were out.  There was all so talks that the heroes from each of of the four shows would team up to for a new show called The Defenders.  Well, a few days back Netflix put out an awesome looking trailer for the show.  Which you can see > here or below.  I must admit that I am only half way though Daredevil season two.  All so haven’t watched the other three shows yet.  I guess I will have to go a big binge.  Because this one will be out on August 18, 2017.

Marvel Heroes Omega PS4 Closed Beta Hands On

Gave the closed beta for Marvel Heroes Omega a try.  Like I said in my last post it looks and plays like the old Marvel Ultimate Alliance games.  The twist this time is, it’s an online MMO as well.  Played for about a half hour.  The game has a nice look to it.  The controls are good but the menu screens can be a bit confusing.  There a lot a characters to try.  The thing is you have to “buy” them to keep  playing with them.  You earn may types to in game money to unlock stuff as well as for the characters.  The only thing that I don’t like are the story cutscenes.  They have a nice animated comic book look.  The problem is they are just very inconstant.  Some look awesome.  Other look like crap.  Am sure they might change before the game is out.  The other big thing about the game it is set to be free to play.  So I am guess there will be lots of micro transactions.  All so thinking there will be an open beta at some point.  Worth checking out.

Marvel Heroes Omega PS4 Closed Beta

Entered a giveaway for a closed beta code for the up coming came Marvel Heroes Omega.  Gamespot.com was giveaway 80,000 codes for the PlayStation 4.  If you are in North America and have PS4 there still might be a change to get a code.  You can do so > here.  The closed beta runs from April 28th to May 16th, 2017.

Don’t know too much about this game.  Other than it looks like the old Marvel Ultimate Alliance games.  With a bit of twist.  From what I read it is all so a MMO with a persistent online world.  Have not tried it yet (April 29, 2017).  The file is downloading as I am typing this.  Will be back with an update.

Thor: Ragnarok Teaser Trailer

For the most part like just about every Marvel movie.   However wasn’t much of a fan of the Thor ones.  Well that might change.  Back on April 10, 2017.  They put a a teaser trailer for the new one called, Thor: Ragnarok.  From this teaser this one looks a lot different than any of the are Marvel movies.  Think this is a good thing.  They all so seam to be having more fun.  There is a very good laugh in the trailer as well.  You can see if for yourself > here or below.  The movie will be out November 3, 2017.

Luke Cage – Trailer

Have to say Marvel and Netflix have been doing an amazing jobs with their shows.  Now the next new on is on the way,  Which is called Luke Cage.  Don’t know much about this character.  Other than his is really tough. Well, after watching the trailer, which you can see > here or below.  He is more than just tough.  He is more like an X-Men.   The show will be up on Netflix September 30, 2016.  It looks really good.  Another one on my must watch list.
