The Little Mermaid Review

on
It’s time to take a trip under the sea with Disney’s newest live action reimagining: The Little Mermaid. The animated classic was released in 1989 to critical acclaim, it is credited as breathing life back into Disney animations and began the renaissance period of Disney movies. After multiple live action remakes, all with varying degrees of success, more often than not failing to equal their animated counterparts, can the live action The Little Mermaid live up to the legacy of its animated counterpart? I’m pleased to say it makes a decent attempt, The Little Mermaid is an interesting remake, that fails to fully carve its own identity but it’s still an enjoyable watch. As a massive Disney fan, I’m excited to share my thoughts with you! So, read on for my full review. (There may be minor spoilers).  There is nothing quite like sitting in a cinema, the lights darken and the Disney opening begins, it signals the impending magic! And the new Disney 100 opening is just stunning, as it comes

Wonder Woman 1984 DC FanDome Trailer Reaction

on
The DC event of 2020 is here!! DC FanDome is ready to give us some much needed-movie, TV and gaming content and I am beyond excited, especially for the movie trailers! I will aim to do a trailer reaction post for each trailer or teaser we get tonight so make sure to keep an eye out for new posts over the next few hours/days.
After months of silence and constant push backs we finally have a new Wonder Woman 1984 trailer and it does not disappoint! Read on for my trailer reaction and head over to the Just Another Film Blog Facebook page and Instagram for new images. 
  • We start on a little montage showing Diana running, a field of grass and a shot of Themyscira (home of the Amazons). 
  • Okay so this is an Olympic style stadium - LOVE THIS.  
  • 'This world is not yet ready for all that you'll do' hints we could get to see some new powers/evolved powers from Wonder Woman.
  • Okay this is clearly a flashback - I was hoping we would get some scenes featuring Diana's childhood. 
  • Another montage - a lot to take in - I love the mirroring of child and adult Diana. 
  • OMG she is literally swinging on lightening, I have goosebumps. 
  • This is a very tense and dramatic trailer. 
  • 'Anything you can dream of, you can have it' - I mean this is going to end badly. 
  • Diana seeing Steve is both cute and strange, I wonder how he comes back? 
  • Okay that white dress is spectacular. 
  • We get some nice villain building here - love seeing Kristen Wiig in such a serious role. 
  • The lasso spinning to stop bullets is a little odd, I'm really not feeling this shot but it does ooze comic book style. 
  • First footage of a Wonder Woman and Cheetah fight.
  • Okay is Wonder Woman flying or just jumping like super high? I want to see her fly already!
  • Another Montage - a lot to breakdown, but it's mainly action shots. 
  • This plane scene is funny and also the first time Steve seems like more than an accessory. 
  • Does Maxwell Lord have powers? 
  • Oh my, oh my, we finally get to see Cheetah in full form! and she looks AWESOME!!
  • This is too much to handle, I love seeing a fully costumed Wonder Woman and Cheetah face off. I've never seen a female superhero face a female villain on this scale and it is amazing. 
  • When Wonder Woman throws off those wings!!!!!
  • Ending with some comedy - which is great. 
So we have a lot to process here! This trailer is action packed and full of character development and establishment. I cannot wait to see the film!

What did you think of the trailer? Let me know in the comments. 

Thank you for reading xx
