Movie Monday: Wonder Woman

As you probably know most DC super hero movies aren't doing so well lately. I mean looking at Man of Steel, Batman vs Superman and Suicide Squad. They're not bad movies, at least in my opinion, but they somehow felt a bit lacking of something. Could Wonder Woman finally be the movie that changes everything? Well I don't know about changing everything but it's a pretty good movie!

Diana does it again?

 I know that not everyone is a big fan of Gal Gadot playing the role of Wonder Woman but in truth I actually liked her a lot in Batman vs Superman, so I was looking forward to this movie and I have to admit that the movie didn't disappoint. It has pretty much everything you need in a movie and maybe even something extra. The amazon fights are pretty cool, I mean how they battle the Germans with their melee weapons and bows is already quite the treat but the special effects look really cool! Later you see Diana also in action how she runs over the battlefield and just taking out Germans left and right. But what Wonder also has is humour, something that wasn't really that strong represented in some other DC movies. The movies kept getting darker, I don't mind that actually, but it seemed that this was at the cost of some humour, which is something that I do mind, so I'm glad that Wonder Woman keeps the best of both things here. Yes there are dark moments in the movie but there is also a lot of humour in the movie. That keeps things interesting and fun to watch, which is definitely not a bad thing!

Flashback movie?

 At the start Diana is looking at a picture, she got that from Bruce Wayne, and thinks back of the people with her on the picture. So in a way the movie is just one big flashback, but don't worry you stay in the flashback until the end of the movie. It's not an Assassin's Creed type of movie that keeps switching between past and present. I really like this movie taking place in World War I, which shows you on one side the horror of war and on the other side how just a few people can make a difference. Ok so one of them is a super hero, it doesn't ruin anything in my opinion. Maybe Diana seems a bit overpowered but I can assure you that, without spoiling anything, not everyone is that weak against her.

Is this movie worth checking out?

 I think it is, especially if you've seen the previous DC movies and want to see the build up towards the Justice League movie. The movie is funny, entertaining and even emotional at times. Hopefully this is the step forward for DC and that the next movies will be just as good or maybe even better. I can definitely recommend this movie to you if you like DC hero or just super hero movies. This movie doesn't get boring and has a lot to offer, so feel free to check it out!

Button bashing

It seems that more and more games want you to smash on the buttons of the controller, which seems like fun but knowing that this weak piece of plastic can´t handle much it´s not the smartest way to handle your controller. In the good old arcade days I could smash on buttons, ok nothing too crazy but at least those machines had a lot more resilience than these weak controllers we have now. You have to pay a small fortune for one of them and they fall apart with the slightest bit of force you use. After smashing a couple of controllers out of frustration I learned to be careful with them, but when games force you to be an agressive button basher it doesn´t really help. Button bashing is nothing new but I do seem to see it in more and more games, even games that could easily do without this abusive way of treating your controller. Instead of button bashing people came up with the idea to press a certain series of buttons in a sequence, I first saw this in God of War which was fun. But s...

Sinful Sunday: Why are you so serious?

When I play a game I don't want to be serious, I just want to have fun and relax. Honestly real life is serious enough and I don't need that in games. Who cares who wins or who loses, just have fun and that already makes it great! Unfortunately there are gamers that take certain games way too serious, so serious that they literally forget to have fun which is quite frustrating to deal with. These kind of players are so serious that they probably left the fun behind when they started the game. Sigh... Serious gamers are lame gamers? There is nothing wrong about being serious, but I think there is a time and a place for everything. When I play a game with my friends then I'm not being serious nor am I serious when I start up some random multiplayer match. Sure it's nice to win but it's not everything! Things become more serious when there is something at stake, for example in ranked matches or during a tournament. I understand that things are more serious there an...

Mortal Kombat X isn´t just another fighting game?

You´ve probably seen the announce trailer of Mortal Kombat X, then you probably also know that it shows two familiar characters fighting against eachother. At that point you´re probably still thinking that it´s just more of the same but with a better coat of paint, I understand that pessimist look and it´s not often wrong. But from what I´ve heard about Mortal Kombat X is that it´s going to be more than just a new game in the Mortal Kombat game series. What´s new? Apparently there will be more fighting styles for one character, giving everyone his or her own favourite style to use against opponents. There was something familiar in another Mortal Kombat game where they also had weapons in a fighting style, but this seems to go a bit deeper and more unique. Of course these are just words at this point, nothing has been proven just yet! But this would make it more fun to play against other people and see who masters the ultimate style, but I´m certain that there is a counter style f...
