TV Review: Jessica Jones Season 2 Episode 1 "AKA Start At The Beginning" [Emz]

So here we are with a new review for a different series.

Season 2 of Jessica Jones Premiered on Netflix on the 8th March 2018.

I loved the first season of this show and I have just watched the first episode of Season 2 and am looking forward to more episodes.

Here is the Synopsis:

While Jessica deals with a rival PI and a paranoid would-be client, Trish digs up a medical file that could unlock the mystery of Jessica's powers.

Review:

I felt like this was a great first episode. 

#i enjoyed that fact that everything that happened last season and The defenders is hanging over her head like a luminous sign - Super Vigilante for Hire.

But this season is bringing along it's own issues for Jessica. We find out that Trish dressed up as Patsy and sang at a kids birthday party to get information from a hospital about Jessica from when she was brought in following the Car accident that killed her Brother and Parents. Apparently she is missing a chunk of days between arriving at the hospital and getting a bed.

Jessica is having issues with another P.I who has been sent to absorb Jessica into his business by Jeri Hogarth.

We also meet Whizzer. He was experimented on by IGH along with Jessica.  He wants to hire Jessica as he belives someone is out to kill him. He can run really fast when scared. To begin with Jessica just thinks that he is crazy, but realises too late that he was genuinely in need of her help. 

After his death, This makes Jessica rethink Trish's look into her past and she goes investigating. Thre episodes ends where her powers began.

I thoroughly enjoyed this episode and can't wait to watch the next one.

Till then

TV Review: The Gifted Season 1 Episode 2 "rX" [Emz]

So it took me a while to watch the second episode due to being busy, but I finally managed it.

Here is the Synopsis:

After exerting her powers beyond their limits, Blink goes into a state of shock, forcing Caitlin and Eclipse to go on a mission to find a special serum that will help her to recover. Meanwhile, Reed faces some difficult choices when it comes to helping his family, and Polaris runs into some trouble.

This episode was really good. There are alot of things happening at once and alot of secrets yet to be mentioned.

We start with a direct continuation from the first episode with Blink (Clarice) collapses and Reed is left on the other side.

After a few arguements the kids realize that they cannot currently go back for their dad and along with htier mum decide to help Clarice. 

During his time Clarice keeps opening portals in the same place and Lauren (Reed's daughter) is able to close them. She decides to stay with the team to help close the portals whilst her mother and Marcos (Eclipse) go to fnd medication to help her awaken from her Coma.

Of course, Reed gets picked up by the Police and interrogated. other family members are interrogated also.

Thing were not going so well for Polaris in Prison, with each time she used her powers she was electrocuted.

This episode kept me on the edge of my seat, not knowing when the next portal kept opening and as each portal opened in the same place each time, the Police appeared and eventually so did SWAT.

I look forward to the next episode.

TV Review: The Inhumans Season 1 Episode 1 "Behold... The Inhumans" [Emz]

Now I have just watched the first episode of this. I finally found a way.

There are a few familar faces in this show. Iwan Rheon (Misfits, Game of Thrones) and Serinda Swan (Chicago Fire.)

Here is the synopsis for this episode:

The royal family -- stranded in Hawaii after a military coup -- faces internal strife, which they must overcome in order to return home before their way of life is destroyed forever.

Review:

This episode was interesting. It seems it might be a slow burner. It takes alot of getting used to. i have been a little confused.

As time goes on in the episode I got a little more used to what was going on. Hopefully that will continue.

So we have Black Bolt, Medusa, Maximus, Crystal, Gorgon and Karnak as the Inhuman Royal Family.

Maximus overthrows the King and Queen and Crystal uses Lockjaw to send them and Karnak to Earth.

Once on earth they all have trouble blending in. Black Bolt the most as he ends up getting arrested.

It seems a good series but I will see as time goes on.

Till next time.

TV Review: The Defenders [Emz]

I finally finished this yesterday and it was awesome! 

As I mentioned previously, the series brings together Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist.

Here is the Premise:

Set a few months after the events of the second season of Daredevil, and a month after the events of the first season of Iron Fist, the vigilantes Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist team up in New York City to fight a common enemy: the Hand.

Now before we continue SPOILERS!!!!!

Review:

So, I finally finished this series after starting it on Tuesday. So the series doesn't start with the tea,  together, it starts with them all separate but they all soon find out they are all somehow investigating The Hand.

The combination on Personalities is really funny, With the slight awkwardness between Jessica and Luke after what happened in Jessica Jones Season 1 was addressed. 

I found that Danny Rand AKA Iron Fist was a little Out of his Depth and due to him growing up on a hidden island and losing his parents, he can still act like a little child.

Sigourney Weaver was a brilliant Villain, it was more Manipulation that shear fighting with her but her character definitely made an impact.

With the resurrection on Elektra and bring all the friends of Matt (Daredevil), Jessica, Luke and Danny into the show, it worked very well.

Brilliant show and I would recommend watching.

Now for me to catch up with Iron Fist and Daredevil before The Punisher is released in possibly November.

Till next time

What I'm Excited For - TV Edition #2 [Emz]

So Netflix have indulged us with 2 Marvel series so far this year, but there is one more to come.

Next up is the Series that almost never existed, The Punisher.

Frank Castle AKA The Punisher appeared in Season 2 of Daredevil, so this series is a Spin-Off.

Here is the Premise:

Frank Castle is haunted and hunted after the murder of his family and becomes a vigilante known in the criminal underworld as "the Punisher", who aims to fight crime by any means necessary.

This series sounds really good and has a bit of a different theme than Daredevil.

We have Deborah Ann Woll reprising her role as Karen Page from Daredevil. But we also have some new characters.

One of which i'm intrigued by is Billy Russo. This character is portrayed by Ben Barnes. He has appeared in quite a few films and TV series but is know for playing price Caspian in the Narnia movie series.

The Series does not yet have an air date but is rumoured to be airing in November 2017, so with new series and movies airing on Fridays i'm going to guess at 17th November.

I guessed this due to Iron Fist airing on the 17th March 2017 and The Defenders airing on the 18th August 2017.

The series will have 13 episodes.

Till next time

Top 10 Upcoming Disney Films I'm Looking Forward To [Emz]

There are a lot of movies by Disney that are going to be released over the next few years and below are the one's i'm really looking forward to. This includes Marvel Movies.

Some may lap over from my previous post about movies before the end of 2017.

1.Thor: Ragnarok

Release Date: 27th October 2017 (UK)

So this is the third and possibly final Thor film. 

It takes place before Avengers: Infinity War.  It looks really good but there appear to be funny moments included. 

I also remember reading that Doctor Strange will have a Cameo in this film. Obviously we know that Bruce Banner/ Hulk will be in the film as well.

Obviously he will be without the famous hairstyle and weapons and with Cate Blanchett as the Villian this will be one interesting film.

2.Star Wars: The Last Jedi

Release Date: 15th December 2017

So we have had to wait 2 years for the follow-up to The Force Awakens, i'm sure it will be worth the wait.

The only sad thing is that Carrie Fisher will not appear in the follow-up to this film after her sad death last year

After watching Teaser Trailer for this I have been slowly getting more and more excited.

Roll on Christmas time.

3. Black Panther

Release Date: 16th February 2018

So From what i've seen and heard, this film will be really good. It has a few names in it that a recognise Such as Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nyong'o and Forest Whittaker.

I'm hoping for good things after the stint he had in Captain America: Civil War.

4.  A Wrinkle in Time

Release Date: 9th March 2018

So I don't know an awful lot about this film, but I know it has an all-star cast. From Oprah Winfrey to Reese Witherspoon. It also stars Chris Pine and Mindy Kaling.

This is the Premise:

After learning that her astrophysicist father is being held captive on a planet that houses all the evil in the universe, Meg Murray works with her brother Charles Wallace, her classmate Calvin O'Keefe and three astral travelers to save him.

5. Avengers: Infinity War

Release Date: 27th April 2018

This film is one that I am so looking forward to. I remember watching the first Avengers Film and thinking it was brilliant. I am more than ready for this one.

Here is the Premise: 

Four years after the events of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, the Avengers, torn apart after the events of Captain America: Civil War, join forces with the Guardians of the Galaxy to battle Thanos, who is trying to amass the Infinity Stones for a gauntlet that will allow him to inflict his will on all reality.

6. Star Wars: Han Solo 

Release Date: 25th May 2018

There isn't alot known about this film yet. The title is self-explanatory so, we know who it is about though.

It has quite a few well-known names in this film: Emilia Clarke, Donald Glover, Woody Harrleson and Thandi Newton.

Here is the Premise:

Themed as a space Western, the film is centered on a young Han Solo, the roguish smuggler who later meets Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker in the Mos Eisley Cantina in Star Wars (1977), and his adventures with his Wookiee partner Chewbacca, including their encounter with Lando Calrissian.

7. The Incredibles 2

Release Date: 15th June 2018

So I can't even remember how long it's been since the first one was released, but I seriously cannot wait for this film! Ok so I just looked it up and it is about 14 years (2004).

This film is supposed to carry on from the last one. I'll have to make sure I've watched the first one again before I go and see it.

Here is the synopsis on the movie:

The Incredibles 2 follows the adventures of the Parrs, a family of Supers (humans with super abilities). The Parrs include the father, Bob, also known as Mr. Incredible who possesses super strength, Helen, his wife also known as Elastigirl for the ability to stretch her body, and their children Violet, who can become invisible and project force fields, Dash, who possesses super speed, and Jack-Jack, their infant who can transform into a number of forms. The sequel will start "a minute" after the end of the first film, according to Pixar's chief creative officer John Lasseter, where the Parrs are just about to face the Underminer.

8. Ant-Man & The Wasp

Release Date: 6th July 2018

After watching the first film, I am really looking forward to how this film goes. With Michelle Pfeiffer joining the cast as Janet Van Dyne. This should be one brilliant film.

Here is the Premise:

Set after the events of Captain America: Civil War, Scott Lang tries to balance his home life as a father with his responsibilities as Ant-Man, when Hope van Dyne and Hank Pym present him with a new mission, requiring him to team up with van Dyne as the Wasp.

9. Captain Marvel

Release Date: 8th March 2019 (UK)

There is no current Plot for this film but hey it's got to be good it's Marvel's first Female Superhero movie. I'm a little bummed that we have to wait till 2019 but hopefully it will be worth the wait.

We know that Brie Larson was cast in the main role and that it is rumoured to be set in the 1990's.

10. Mulan

Release Date: 20th December 2019

 I don't know alot about the live action version of this film. But I hope it is brilliant as I love Mulan. It is one of my favourite Disney films.

Here is a very basic summary of what the movie is about

A young Chinese maiden disguises herself as a warrior in order to save her father.

I sadly couldn't post them all but these are my current 10.

Are there any I haven't put down that you are looking forward to by Disney?

What i'm excited for - TV edition #1 [Emz]

So I thought I would post what i'm excited for on TV.

I am super excited for the upcoming TV show for Netflix, The Defenders.

Basically it's all 4 of the Netflix Marvel heroes coming together for a TV show.

So we have Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist, all together in one show

To top it off the Villain will be portrayed by Sigourney Weaver.

The Premise for the series is as follows:

Set a few months after the events of the second season of Daredevil, and a month after the events of the first season of Iron Fist, the vigilantes Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist team up in New York City to fight a common enemy: The Hand.

The Hand is the enemy we come to know about in Iron Fist, which I am enjoying watching. 

I admit to the fact that I haven't watched all 4 series all the way through. I'm almost at the end of Daredevil Season 1, I've watched all of Jessica Jones so far, I couldn't get into Luke Cage and I am working my way through Iron Fist.

The Series is released onto Netflix everywhere on the 18th August.

The Series will consist of 8 episodes.

If you have watched any of the Marvel Netflix shows i have mentioned, let me know what you think in the comments, which one was your favourite? So far mine would have to be Jessica Jones.

Till next time
