Critics Are Calling ‘Black Panther’ Marvel’s Best Film To Date, Out in Singapore on Feb 13

Marvel Studios’ upcoming blockbuster has maintained the company’s long-standing run of producing ‘Fresh’ films based on the Rotten Tomatoes ‘Tomatometer’.

Each of the studios’ 18 films in the past 10 years has gotten a ‘Fresh’ rating, with 16 of them achieving the coveted ‘Certified Fresh’ certification.

A 98% rating is a huge achievement for any motion picture and rightly so for this one, which many critics have calling it the best entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

At the forefront of its success is the film’s cultural and historical significance in showcasing a cast almost entirely made up of actors of African descent, and the portrayal of strong women warriors.

Its villain, portrayed by the talented Michale B. Jordan (Creed), has also earned praise amongst reviewers, solving Marvel Studios’ recurring issue of shallow villains with the exception of Loki.

The movie releases in Singapore on February 13, with advance ticket sales already available at Golden Village and Shaw.

Sony Releases ‘Venom’ Poster and Teases Potential Trailer Tomorrow

While Spider-Man is happily fighting crime alongside The Avengers in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Sony Pictures is set to release a Venom movie later this year in a separate universe.

Sony, which still owns the rights to producing movies surrounding the wall-crawler and his supporting characters, famously agreed to share Spidey on the big screen with Marvel Studios, resulting in the successful Spider-Man: Homecoming film last year.

Venom, which stars British heartthrob Tom Hardy as the titular character, recently wrapped up production and it looks like fans will finally get a first glimpse at the film very soon.

The official Instagram page for the movie released a poster with the caption “Tomorrow”, suggesting that a trailer may very well drop in the coming hours.

Venom releases in theatres on October 5.

Tomorrow. #Venom

‘Deadpool 2’ Trailer Brings The Funny While Throwing Shade At DC’s Justice League

Ryan Reynolds is back as the lovable “Merc with a Mouth” and the full trailer for his upcoming film does not disappoint.

Breaking the fourth wall, Deadpool takes a dig at Justice League when it is revealed that the visual effects for Cable’s metal arm had not been completed, revealing a green sleeve instead.

“Why aren’t the visual effects not done? It’s a metal arm, it’s not like we’re trying to remove a moustache,” Reynolds says in character, referencing to the poor CGI attempt at removing Henry Caville’s facial hair in the latest Justice League movie.

The trailer’s main purpose was to introduce Cable and does so in style, showcasing the serious side to the character, making him the perfect contrast to the care-free Deadpool.

The movie releases in May, alongside Avengers: Infinity War and Solo: A Star Wars Story, making it quite a jammed pack month for comic book and sci-fi nerds like us.
