The Fantastic Four: First Steps Review

      Marvels' first family have finally joined the MCU. Watching Matt Shakman's The Fantastic Four: First Steps is like watching 2008's Iron Man for the first time. It is the start of something great, instantly iconic. Not only is the film a refreshing addition to the MCU, its unique style and compact nature make it one of the most memorable superhero movies of recent years.  I am extremely excited about this film. Read on for my full review, where I explore exactly why I think Fantastic Four: First Steps is such a standout film. Minor Spoilers ahead.  Catch up on my Thunderbolts review here: Thunderbolts Review   Fantastic Four: First Steps is compact, with a run time of only 1 hour and 24 minutes. Shakman makes the most of this time, not a moment wasted. And yet the film still breathes, there are gaps between the action. With time spent on building real connections between Reed (Pedro Pascal), Sue (Vanessa Kirby), Ben (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) and Johnny (Jos...

Frozen 2 Trailer Reaction

The first Frozen 2 teaser trailer was released today and omg! I haven't done a trailer reaction post before but I got so excited by this teaser that I just had to. Below is the trailer, so if you haven't seen it yet give it a watch and then read on for my reaction.


  • Okay so I first noticed the new darker tone - this is something we have never seen in a Disney Princess movie before and I love it. 
  • Oh wow the new animation style is crazy good! It looks like Disney is changing up its animation style again (Last time they did this we got Tangled which is a spectacular movie). 
  • The water looks crazy realistic.
  • Elsa has a new outfit which is so pretty (I love new princess outfits).
  • So before she gets to training in the water Elsa puts her hair in  a pony tail - I have said this for so long, when someone with long hair has to focus they tie their hair up - they don't leave it flying in the air as they fight aliens! So I shouted finally at my computer upon noticing this. 
  • So Elsa's parents died at Sea, what if she's trying to find out what happened to them.
  • Will we get to see Ariel?
  • Elsa certainly has control over her powers now.
  • How much time has passed?
  • Anna has a new outfit too!
  • Awwwhhh look at all the Reindeers and Sven. 
  • Ooh its Autumn - look at that awesome animation. 
  • Where is that rock place Anna is fighting her way through - I don't like this. 
  • Look at Elsa using her powers to save herself and Olaf from fire/gas? 
  • Also this trailer is so pretty.
  • Okay so my guess is someone else has powers.
  • Who is that getting thrown in the air. 
  • Yes an epic character line up shot and a camera spin that reveals a valley halfway between Winter and Autumn. A picture perfect moment.
  • No don't go into the dark shadowy woods - have they never seen a horror film or Pretty Little Liars? 
  • I actually gasped when Anna takes Kristoff's sword and swipes. 

Honestly this is a crazy engaging trailer, there is only one word: Elsa says 'Okay' and thats it. The music is great and uses notes from the first films score. Now to watch the trailer over and over again. 

Frozen 2 made my list of most anticipated movies, check out this list here:
