BY THE HAMMER OF CROM! THIS IS THE MOST AWESOMELY MACHO TRAILER WE’VE SEEN IN AGES, SO MACHO WE’VE DECIDED TO USE CAPSLOCK, THAT MOST BARBARIAN OF ALL TYPOGRAPHIC TECHNIQUES TO PROMOTE IT.
TO BE HONEST WE REALLY CAN’T TELL IF IT’LL BE CLASSIC OR ‘KULL THE CONQUROR’ FROM THIS, BUT IT’S SO REMARKABLY GRUFF WE HAD TO SHARE.
YOU CAN THANK US IN HELL, OUTLANDER!
Strangely enough, the web has been full of discontent about Andrew Garfield’s distinctly undernorished look as Spidey recently, but judging by this peek at shooting, he (or his stunt double) are certainly going to provide an action packed take on Marvel’s wall-crawling everyman.
Slashing The Seats had it’s editorial trolls whipped long into the night, but even they couldn’t come up with a witty pun based around January Jones’ bosoms and the phrase ‘you can’t make an omelette without breaking some X’. Instead, you’ll just have to settle for this first peek at her in a ridiculously saucy Emma frost outfit, along with the rest of Matthew Vaughn’s super-groovy 1960’s X-Men.
Although Ms.Jones does a fine job on her own, the line up is filled out by Michael Fassbender as ‘no need for Grecian 2000′ Magneto, Rose Byrne as the frankly crap character Moira MacTaggert, Jason Flemyng as Azazel (nope, we don’t know either), Nicholas Hoult as Beast, Lucas Till as Cyclops’ brother Havok, Zoe Kravitz as Angel, Jennifer Lawrence blueing-up as Mystique, and a surprisingly hirsute James McAvoy as Professor X.
Whether or not the slightly off-canon mix of characters will add up to a great movie remains to be seen, but those old-school jumpsuits have got our hopes up for something a little better than The Last Stand.
If you like huge great spoilers, then you are definitely the target audience for this review (not to mention the trailer posted above -do try to resist clicking play). If on the other hand you are one of those oddballs like me who wandered into ‘From Dusk ‘Til Dawn’ on first release and were completely taken by surprise when Salma did the lizard-lady thing, then it’s probably best if you just ignore this and head off to check out Russel Crowe’s latest first hand.
Right, now that the ‘Warning -Spoilerz’ is out of the way, let’s get down to business. STS wandered into a preview screening of The Next Three Days early on a Saturday morning, with a frankly banging hangover. All we really wanted to do was sit in a warm dark room, sip our Omniscience-size pepsi and allow pretty shapes to float around the screen in front of us.
For the first half of the movie, we were well served…
