My Captain America: The Winter Soldier Trailer Review

Hey guys, Movie Maniac here, and today I'm bringing you guys my review of the new Captain America: The Winter Soldier trailer.

To be honest, the first Captain America: First Avenger was my least favorite of the pre-Avengers films. I enjoyed it, but, I couldn't get into it so much as I did Thor, Iron Man 1 & 2, and the Incredible Hulk films. So with this first trailer of the sequel, I was hoping to be convinced that I am going to be more entertained if and when I see this film.

I have to say, I am loving this trailer a lot. I love the vibe that I am getting in regards to where the film is going to go. I love how it shows Captain America getting more into the feel of being a S.H.I.E.L.D agent, such as doing missions, etc. This trailer hooked me in.

The one gripe I have about the trailer is the music, I understand that Marvel wanted to set the tone of the film with the music, but, I wanted more intense music that has an action vibe to it as well. It was just to generic. Come on Marvel, you can do better.

Other than that one gripe, everything else about the trailer is awesome. I love how Anthony Mackie is playing Falcon, I especially loved the scene where he falls of the platform while shooting and then the wings expand and he starts flying away from the aircraft that is shooting at him. Also they brought in Robert Redford!!

This film seems like it is going to be great, I can't wait for to see it.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier arrives in theatres on April, 4th, 2014

Michael B. Jordan Has Signed On to Play Johnny Storm in Fantastic Four Reboot!!

Hey guys, Movie Maniac here, and do I have some good news for you. I would consider this great news actually. You read it right Michael B. Jordan of Fruitvale Station and Chronicle fame has officially signed on to play Johnny Storm a.k.a. The Human Torch in the Fantastic Four Reboot!!

I have to say I am totally excited about this decision because of a couple different reasons:

1. It is a new take on the character.
2. They can go different and unique ways with the film in regards to his relation to Sue Storm in the reboot.
3. Michael B. Jordan is one of those up and coming actors that is making a big name for himself at a young age and he has set himself up so that he can end up being the next Forest Whitaker or Denzel Washington, or better yet, he can end up being better.

I also have a little hesitation about the decision as well because of one reason:

1. Josh Trank, director of Chronicle and the Fantastic Four reboot, is hinting that this is going to be a teenaged version of the FF and that is not the route I believe he should be going with this.

Despite my one hesitation, I believe Josh Trank is going to create a good film and Michael B. Jordan is going to play a great Johnny Storm. The only thing he has to worry about is filling the shoes of his predecessor, the now Captain America, Chris Evans, who I believe portrayed Johnny Storm very well in the Tim Story FF films.

Let me know what you guys think of Michael B. Jordan officially being cast as Johnny Storm. Do you think he will do a good job? Do you think the film will be good? leave your comments in the box below.

Release Date for Ted 2!!

Hey guys, Movie Maniac here, and boy, do I have some news for you guys. If you haven't heard by now, the sequel to one of the funniest and one of my favorite comedies of 2012, Ted, is in the works and will come to theaters in 2015. Well it is now confirmed by Universal Pictures that Ted 2, will be released on Friday, June 26th, 2015!

I don't know about you guys but I think this is great news because now Ted 2 will be apart of, what other film critics and bloggers are calling, the biggest box office summer of all time. I loved everything about the first Ted film because of Seth MacFarlane. When it comes to comedy, this guy is a genius.

The only apprehension I have about Ted 2 is that the gimmick of a talking teddy bear will not be as funny as it was the first time. Usually, lightning does not strike the same place twice; however, I am hoping lightning does strike in the same place twice in regards to the content and quality of the sequel. Well in this case, thunder. I am not worried though, because Seth MacFarlane is a comedic genius and I am sure he will deliver with Ted 2.

Let me know what you guys think of the release date. Did you guys enjoy the first film and is looking forward to the second? Do you think the second one can be as good as the first one? Do you think the gimmick will not be as funny as the first time or be even more funny the second time around? Leave your answers in the comment box below.
