Batman Vs Superman: Dawn Of Justice [Movie Review]

We watched one of the most anticipated movies of the year last night and it didn't disappoint although the 3D stopped 20 minutes into the movie thanks to Ster Kinekor Gateway!

You wouldn't think that a normal human being would be able to stand up against Superman but director Zack Snyder made it possible in his latest movie. 

Ben Afleck replaces Christian Bale as Batman/Bruce Wayne and some might have thought that that was an impossible shoe to fill but Ben managed to pull it off! 

He had to work his ass off but you could see the results especially in the workout scene before he battled the big S! Looks like he followed an extreme Cross Fit regime. 

As for Henry Cavill reprising his role as Superman/Clark Kent you could see more of the conflict in his character and his responsibilities as a savior of the planet that he doesn't really belong to. 

Jesse Heisenberg is a very young and truly psychotic Lex Luthor. He fits the role quite well as he is used to playing power hungry young billionaires!

A pleasant surprise was Gal Gadot as the beautiful Wonder Woman/Diana Prince. Displaying that beauty can be powerful as well. 

The movie ended as was expected if you're a Superman fan considering the nemesis that was battled in the end and it looks like we're in for a great buildup to the Justice League which is DC's answer to Marvel's Avengers! 

50 Shades Of Grey [Movie Review]

Last night Ster-Kinekor decided to have a pre-screening of the much anticipated movie based on the book by EL James, Fifty Shades Of Grey.

I haven't read any of the books because they appealed more to housewives (not sure if they're desperate) and amorous girls.

As expected the movie section at Gateway was teeming with women of all shapes, sizes and ages. It looked like some of them were in a large group which later I found out were invited by Sibaya Casino that booked a block of seats. There was some drama as the Sibaya seats were all over the show and people wanted to be seated next to their friends. This resulted in some stubborn ladies sitting in the wrong seats and some irate ladies trying to move them. The movie eventually started half an hour later after management was brought in to sort out the seating.

Some promo people were there. I think I saw Herbalife and a company that was selling beauty products. Mangwanani ladies were present giving free massages outside the Prestige theatre.

Fifty Shades Of Grey stars Jamie Dornan as Christian Grey and Dakota Johnson as Anastasia Steele. Some people were hoping that Grey would be portrayed by the ever gloomy Ian Somerhalder but I think Jamie did a good job. And some said that Dakota was too pretty to play Anastasia because she was supposed to be a plain Jane girl next door.

The movie itself was actually very interesting but my girlfriend Lorna said that a lot was left out that was in the book. Later she read a few excerpts to me and I think that if these were included in the movie they would have made it ridiculous and it would lack class.

If you're a diehard fan of the book don't expect the raunchy dialogue or the racy sex scenes found in the books. Just enjoy the movie.

Ironman 3

I just watched the trailer for the third installment of the Ironman franchise by Marvel and I must say that I am very excited and can't wait for this movie to come out.

Robert Downey Jr. is back as Tony Stark aka. Ironman and it looks darker and more serious. Ben Kingsley plays the evil Mandarin and he is like the worst enemy Ironman has to face.

The trailer promises lots of drama and excitement but I am just a bit concerned that it reveals a bit too much.

One of the big reveals is the Ironman army and the sneak peek of The Hulkbuster suit. Would love to see it against The Incredible Hulk... maybe in a future Avengers sequel.

Ironman 3 releases internationally on 3 May 2013.

There are a few Marvel movies coming out soon. Which is your favorite Marvel movie character? Which movie can't you wait for?
