Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem Animated Film Trailer Review



So what is there to say about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem trailer? It's good to see the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles back in the big screen with a fresh coat of paint. Though there are some "unique" changes that this 2023 reimagination of the works from its creators Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird; I can say overall, I am digging the changes thus far. I am of the mind that as long as the film is of good to great quality (in terms of writing, phasing, and performance); I can forgive the more "creative" liberties a series or movie will take which is usually there to appeal to the "modern audiences." Let's just hope that this animated film will also be fresh beyond from the skin-deep changes we see on this trailer.



I like who Mutant Mayhem chose as its villain or rather villains. For once, it didn't use Shredder as its main antagonists, rather, TMNT: Mutant Mayhem focuses on the mutant rogues of this media franchise. The mutant rogues is lead by Baxter Stockman (voiced by Giancarlo Esposito) and following him are popular Shredder minions Rocksteady and Bebop. We can only speculate that if this animated film performs well in the box office, we may very well see a sequel setting up Shredder and his foot soldiers with Krang just like in the earlier film adaptation of TMNT.



It is refreshing to see both Shredder-less TMNT movie and a title where the four brothers are actual teenagers. The two live action movies that preceeded 2023's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem were Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014) and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows (2016) whwerin it features juiced up or gym bros-like Turtles (no offence to teenagers who happen to be gym bros). This time we follow actual teenage Turtles (in stature, demeanor, mannerism, and maturity) with their teenage dream of being accepted and validated by the people of their hometown, New York City. Mutant Mayhem uses a highly stylized cell-shaded 3-D animation similar to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse and its sequel Across the Spider-Verse. While animation is not new for a TMNT animated movie, it is a step up from TMNT (2007) animated film. I am personally hyped up for this film and will see it once it hits the theaters by August 2, 2023.

The Equalizer 3 Film Trailer Review



So what is there to say about the The Equalizer 3 trailer? This feels to me is peak male entertainment power fantasy which is not bad (and never will be). A tried and tested formula of a mysterious stoic protagonist with a shady past living a good life in retirement, but is suddenly forced out of it when face with inevitable and overwhelming circumstances that calls for his certain level of expertise from the very same shady background he wants to forget or has moved on. Some that I can think of that made huge waves in theaters are RED, Taken, Nobody, and John Wick. The Equalizer 3, being the third and last of its film franchise, looks to be no different. A high octane action film featuring one of Hollywood's top actor, Denzel Washington.


I don't know if it's the movies fault or me having poor memory, but I can barely recall what happened to the first two titles in The Equalizer's film franchise. So I have to do my homework. The first Equalizer came out back in 2014 (The Equalizer), mainly twenty five years after the CBS spy series ended; and the second film, The Equalizer 2, came out in 2018, four years after the first. I would probably watch the first two films again to get a refresher. Personally, even without context of the first two, I think anyone can easily pick up this film as the trailer has been well done and is more than enough to build hype to hod bad ass Robert McCall's character is. If you are a fan of action and spy films in general, this is an easy recommend.
How about you guys? What do you think about the last movie in The Equalizer franchise? Have you seen the first two or the original CBS run? What re your favorite moments on either the TV and film franchise? Do you feel that it should really end in this trilogy? What is your favorite Denzel Washington film and why?

Five Nights At Freddy's Film Trailer Review

So what is there to say about the Five Nights At Freddy's official movie trailer? Well, I think it's cool to finally see another video game get an adaptation and by the looks of it, it is acknowledge by the original author (Scott Cathon) as he is one of the screen writer of the film; thus respecting the source material. If you have been on the Internet long enough, you probably have heard of the Friday Night's at Freddy's video game (and book) franchise... a series of first person puzzle horror video games wherein you navigate a certain location (may it be a house or an abandoned location) wherein the story unfolds involving possessed killer animatronics and the reason why they became so. Friday Night at Freddy's is popular among the theory crafting community as they piece together what avaialble information tucked away in each game that adds engagement and element of mystery to the gaming experience.

Speaking of theory crafting, there have been seventeen (17) titles under the Friday Nights at Freddy video game franchise. The franchise dates all the way back from 2014 and with each released, the community has made countless of theories as of the origin, lore, and the future of the series. This is where it gets interesting, how will the author interest long term fans while introducing the established horror video game to new audience or those unfamiliar with the video game series? From what we see on the trailer, it isn't directly connected to the games as it introduces a father and daughter and cop dynamics into the mix; or it could all still be connected and an expansion of the existing lore. I, personally, have missed the hype and wasn't able to play any of the Friday Nights at Freddy's video games as life got in the way. What I have consumed is the thoery crafting and lore video from Game Theory that discussed various theories and lore from the game. From being immerse with such YouTube content, I can say the FNAF 2023 live action video game movie is promising. Let's just home that it becomes a success so we can get more sequels for it.

How about you guys? What do you think about this 2023 live action big screen adaptation of Scott Cawthon supernatural horror franchise? Will you be seeing it live on theaters based from this trailer or be influenced by how critics reviewed it, or will you wait for it when it hits streaming service?
