Trailer Critic: Assassin's Creed

At long last, we have a trailer for the upcoming Michael Fassbender passion project Assassin's Creed. Take a look!



As someone who is a pretty big fan of the Assassin's Creed games, I already had high hopes for this film. It helped even more to know that Michael Fassbender is a big fan of the franchise and has been trying to get this off the ground for a while. With that said, the pressure that rests on this movie to succeed is immense considering we've never really gotten a decent video game adaptation.

Luckily, the trailer is pretty bad-ass. For starters, I'm glad they seem to be going with an original protagonist rather than copying and pasting the game's characters. The trailer's stunning visuals and freaking amazing fight choreography ramp up the excitement not to mention the many visual call-backs to moments in the games. Based on this trailer, I'm on board! Now I just hope the story is as good as its potential.

Trailer Critic: X-Men: Apocalypse

Because 20th Century Fox knows Monday's suck, they decided to give us a brand new "Final" trailer for X-Men Apocalypse. Check it out and stick around for our thoughts.



Wow. You know, the first couple of trailers for this movie didn't really do it for me, but this one has me sold. With a distinct 80's vibe that reminds me of the old animated TV show, X-Men: Apocalypse may have just made a jump to the top of my most anticipated movies remaining in 2016. I do hope that Sophie Turner's Jean Grey has plenty to do in this one because I would love to see Turner get more big roles like this. And we didn't even talk about Wolverine...He's in it!

Trailer Critic: Suicide Squad Blitz Trailer

No matter what you thought about Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, it's clear that Warner Brothers and DC Entertainment are pushing full steam ahead with their superheroes - and villains. This week, we got another trailer for Suicide Squad, the ensemble film following a group of the worst criminals in the DC universe as they become pawns of the U.S. government. Take a look at the trailer below:



Just when I thought my anticipation for this movie couldn't get higher, WB slams me with this awesome new trailer. As if to directly answer those rumors of "re-shoots to add comedy", this trailer brings the fun and the humor in a big way. Everywhere you look in this movie, it's crystal clear that the actors are both having fun and bringing their absolute "A" game!

Suicide Squad stars Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Jared Leto and soo many other people. It opens on August 5th.

Trailer Critic: Ben-Hur

Hi everyone and welcome to another edition of Trailer Critic. Today, we're taking a look at the upcoming remake of a classic: Ben-Hur.

With the recent revitalization of ancient Roman era movies, it would make sense to retell one of the most famous stories ever to grace the silver screen. With that being said, I have yet to watch the original Ben-Hur from 1959. But that's okay because when I watched this, I can make an objective opinion on it without comparing it to the original.

So the trailer brings thoughts of Gladiator, Pompeii, and even the latest edition to this era: Risen. Which, to be honest, isn't a bad thing, just isn't an original thing. I've tried to enjoy the remakes of late, but there's just something missing from them that you get from the originals.

Ben-Hur looks good - looks fantastic if I'm honest, so I only hope that the storytelling is on par with not only the cinematography, but can hearken back to the original Ben-Hur. If it can do all that, I'll be well impressed. Expect the new Ben-Hur in theaters August 12th, 2016.
