The DCEU is on Life-Support - Did Zack Snyder Put it There?

Four years ago, we lived in a world without a Superman. We were five years removed from Superman Returns which had been dubbed a failure and the word reboot was on everyone's lips. With the end of Christopher Nolan's highly successful Dark Knight trilogy, Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment saw their opportunity to use the Superman reboot Man of Steel to begin a new shared universe a la  Marvel's Avengers. Fast forward to last week when we DC fans finally got our big team up movie, Justice League which quickly became a massive financial failure with some reports expecting WB to lose up to $100 million. While no radical course corrections have been announced yet, with a loss that big it's only a matter of time before that word, reboot, begins to rear its head again. So what happened to place the DCEU on life-support and can it survive this latest blow? Maybe not.

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.

Have You Watched - Hanna

Before there was The Hunger Games, there was a movie called Hanna, pitting a young woman against an unforgiving world. Hanna is unique in it's storytelling, with few exceptions, tailoring the girl to meet the demands of this seemingly dystopian world.

Hanna, played by Saoirse Ronan, is trained and raised by Erik Heller (Eric Bana), her dad, as an assassin. Her amazing abilities, shown throughout the film, throw into question just what she was made for and if there can be a life outside of everything she's known. The movie sets Hanna off on a mission across Europe, but she quickly learns she's being tracked by some very shady, and powerful people led by Cate Blanchett.

I think Hanna might get a bit of a disservice now that we've all watched Katniss Everdeen prove her worth with a bow and arrow, survival skills, and fire to stay alive. All of these qualities will show up in the character Hanna, but if you allow yourself to believe this 16 year-old girl has to do all of the horrible things she does because she's forced to, I think you'll find a brilliant movie. And I think that's the best part about this movie; Hanna's been raised all alone by her father, in the wilderness, training, getting ready, but when it comes time, she's forced out into the "real world" without her lifeline nearby.

Overall, Hanna is, at the very least, a great cat-and-mouse style movie, and with Cate Blanchett hot on our hero's heels, you know it's going to be a good one.
