Gladiator II Review

on
Ready to re-enter the Colosseum in ancient Rome? In 2000 Gladiator was released, the historical epic won five Academy awards including Best Picture and Best Actor for Russell Crowe. Twenty-four years later director Ridley Scott has given us a sequel - Gladiator II. Scott had a mammoth task at hand, how do you create a sequel to one of the greatest films of all time?

Avengers Infinity War Appreciation

on
So today I finally got to see the film we've all been waiting for: Avengers Infinity War! and Oh My! Just want to highlight that this post is not a review I will post that asap but I want to wait until more people have had the chance to get to the cinema so this is spoiler free! 

When I sat down in the cinema today I felt excited, when the trailers ended I was engulfed with this excited tension and I remained that way to the very end (Remember this is a Marvel film so stay till the end!). I usually feel excited when going to the cinema but not in this way. 



This film was amazing, I have no words for how I currently feel, I am still Buzzing. At points I cried and at other times I wanted to stand up with sheer excitement. I loved this film. It is a true credit to everything that Marvel is and to the 10 year journey we have all been on. It's the film the characters, fans, cast and crew deserve. Everything from the visual to the score is just stunning. 

As I said this is not a review so I won't say much more other than: go see this film! This film is the reason I want to be part of the film industry. 

Marvel I take my hat off to you. 

Review to follow so make sure to check back. 

Please let me know what you though of the film 

Thank you for reading.
