Marvel Studios' Captain Marvel - Official Trailer

Josh Brolin as Cable - Deadpool 2

Josh Brolin - The man who IS Thanos - plays an incredible cool Cable in the new Deadpool 2.

Cable is one of my favorite superheroes from the X-Men Universe. I was reading the New Mutants in the 90s, when he debuted. He was fascinating, because we only knew he was from the future, and is somehow related to the X-Men. And I was a great fan of Terminator, so a cyborg-like guy from years to come, with a big gun? Check.

I have most of his comics from the 90s, but I had no idea how he could be brought to the screen.
Well, it really worked. Even if the movie is a parody of the superhero-genre, what was great is that his origin is not exactly explained. So there is still the possibility that he is the son of cyclops. (and a clone of Jean Grey). Somewhere Mr. Sinister is waiting and scheming...

Brolin - who also played Jonah Hex - is "grim n'gritty" like in the comics. He has these bags an patches, an incredible array of weapons and a time machine. He is hurt, and determined to kill anybody who stands in the way to change the future, to bring back his family.

And he wasn't a parody, or a comic relief, even if this was difficult around the over-the-top-bloody-crazy-hilarious Ryan Reynolds.

If you liked the first Deadpool, go to the movie. In my opinion, Deadpool himself is  - well - like Deadpool the last time, with the exception that he dies for, like an hour or so. But fortunately, there is X-Force and Cable. Even if Domino is not quite the Domino from the comics, she's better than I thought. Not to forget the X-Men and the Juggernaut. Colossus is still the good guy with a little naive view of the world, but he gets a real great fight in the movie. Go watch it.

Avengers Infinity War

Saw it last friday. Incredible - its just incredible. Great fun, good acting, exciting story. Not exactly like the comic from the 90s, but some scenes were there. Go watch it!

Black Panther - A Marvel Movie

Black Panther wasn't specially a favourite of mine, but I enjoyed the storyline with T'challa marrying Storm from the X-Men, and the old ones from Kirby. I went to the movie just to see what happens until the new Avengers.

Well, the movie is good! Go see it ! Cool characters, action, fun,  everything what belongs to a Marvel Movie. The african-english is a little bit too much, but the actors were great! Chadwick Boseman IS Black Panther. Great. And Andy Serkis as a crazy Supervillain - he was hilarious.

Blade Runner 2049

Saw it 10 days ago in London. I hoped that Villeneuve would make it right. But boy, did he deliver!

A long movie, but every second was perfect. A perfect continuation of the original Blade Runner. Gosling and Fort are great, and so are Bautista, Leto and Ana de Armas.

I am really happy! And - a little spoiler - in 2049, Peugeot builds flying cars!

Go watch the movie - it's worth it. 

Star Wars - The Last Jedi

Doctor Strange - The Movie

Finally, I managed to see Doctor Strange. And it was awesome as expected. As a longtime Doctor Strange Fan, it was a real payoff. Everything was in there, and more! Benedict Cumberbatch is the perfect actor for this role. Even if the Ancient One wasn't the classic bearded old Asian like in the comics from the 60s, Tilda Swindon was great. And there was more humor in the movie than I thought. In the comics, Dr. Strange is always serious, but here were so many gags. They were great (i.e. his coat with its own mind, or - my favorite - the "Mr. Doctor?" scene with Kaecilius) and not "out of place".

And of course, the Dark Dimension with Dormammu was a visual LSD trip, and a great adaption of Ditkos work.

Go see it, its worth it.

Captain America: Civil War

Saw the movie last week. Great! A perfect follow-up to Winter Soldier and Avengers: Age of Ultron.
Go see it!
