The Big Pictures!

Merry Xmas All, Hope you had a good one, its all come a to a swift end and with Xmas TV in an atrocious state I have turned my attention to Movies.

With comic-book heroes dominating summer cinema last year, 09 it seems will be no different with a few possible sequels and a whole new roster of heroes and villains fully equipped with dodgy disguises, shiny lycra and utility belts ready to hit the big screen.

If you’re a big fantasy/Sci-Fi fan then you will definitely want to keep your eyes peeled for movies this coming year. Marvel and DC have found the key to the attic as it seems they will be sending hero after hero in an attempt to separate us from our wallets in 09, so im going to give you a quick breakdown in what you should look out for at your local movie joint.

X-men Origins: Wolverine


The Breakdown

Everyone’s favourite mutant swings by in this x-men prequel. I’ve got high hopes for this movie as the 3 previous X-men titles didn’t quite do it for me, they was aight, but seeing a glimpse of gambit sealed the deal on this one. We can expect wolverine to be in a disgruntled mood on a revenge mission in a vest or leather jacket.

Check out the preview:


Transformers: Rise of the Fallen


The Breakdown

The original was a big hit, and I think were all expecting more of the same. The Decepticons want to build an army and rule the universe starting with earth; The Autobots don’t think it’s a good idea so they battle for it. Witty main character, alien robots, hot girl, senseless destruction done and dusted.

Watchmen


Quite a big hype around this one ive never read the original novel, but its directed by the same guy that did 300 so as a comic book fan I’d give it a go.

The Breakdown

A complex multilayered mystery/adventure set in an alternate 1985 USA,where costumed superheroes are part of everyday society.
