Ben Affleck Batman, James Spader as Ultron and Kick Ass 2 reviews

So, three big things to tackle. Let's get on with it.

Ben Affleck as Batman

So as literally everyone knows by now, Ben Affleck has been cast to play the Dark Knight in Man of Steel 2. Now he has signed on to do the role in multiple films. There has been a lot of outrage but now it's my turn. I think it can work. He can look like Batman, he can brood like batman. And he certainly has the acting ability. Now I get the comments that Affleck can't pull off the duality of Bruce Wayne and Batman as well as Bale did but I'm sure he can. Besides, the film-makers must have seen some potential in him to actually cast him.

James Spader cast as Avengers Villain Ultron

Who is James Spader you may ask? Who is Ultron you may ask?
Now I'm going to be honest, I don't really know James Spader very well. All I know is that he does a lot of TV work and was in Lincoln..
Ultron on the other hand, I know more about. Ultron was a robot AI built by Ant-Man as his personal assistant. However Ultron turned out to have a mind of his own, and turned on the Avengers, becoming one of their biggest adversaries. At Comic-Con it was announced that the Avengers 2 would be sub-titled; Age of Ultron. Now, early this week there were rumors that rather than going with the comic book storyline, the film would have JARVIS, Iron Man's AI assistant, turn into Ultron. But now it appears this won't happen. Which means will Ant-Man make an appearance in Avengers 2? It's possible.

Kick Ass 2 Review

On Monday, I took the girlfriend to see Kick Ass 2, having re-watched the first one in preparation the night before. So I was ready to see the sequel.
Now first off, I am probably going to get slack for this reviews but why not. I'll now paste my Rotten Tomatoes review of Kick Ass 2:

The bad reviews are puzzling. Kick Ass 2 is easily one of the most enjoyable films of the year. There have been a couple big disappointments but this sure isn't one of them. Kick Ass 2 has the same brilliant ultra-violence of the first. It's also incredibly funny.
Aaron Johnson still has the same likability that he did in the first kick ass and gets to deal with some character dilemmas this time round.
Chloe Grace Moretz really shines in the second. They've given her more this time and it's worked. She steals many a scene.
Christopher Mintz-Plasse really steals the show. Every scene he is in is lit up by his hilarious performance as the Mother-F**ker .
Jim Carrey may only appear in the film for about 8 minutes but it's a great 8 minutes.
Kick Ass 2 was brilliant, and I was surprised at just how awesome of a film it was.
Other shiners of the film include the monstrous Mother Russia and John Leguizamo.
Kick Ass 2 was brill!
And with that, I conclude my first proper post.
