The Weekly Planet

In 2010 we got the second live action Mark Millar comic adaptation in Kick-Ass. Set in the "real world" where superheros only exist in fiction it follows Dave Lizewski as the first person to done a costume and fight crime.

WAR. And craft. Well I've never heard of such a thing but regardless let's get into the 2016 Warcraft film adaptation directed by Duncan Jones.

In 2011 the great minds over at 20th Century Fox decided to reboot the Planet of the Apes franchise but make it good. Aiming to be a retelling of the ape uprising and the origin of Caesar, a super intelligent chimpanzee played by Andy Serkis. Just apes and mates running amok.

Mel Gibsons run as Mad Max Rockatansky ended with Beyond Thunderdome in 1985. Set 15 years after the last it's often considered the weakest of the original trilogy but it's not without it's moments.

Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior allowed director George Miller to take the concepts and character from the 1979 original and really put the boot in. That meant a bigger myth, bigger stunts, bigger men, more butts cut out of leather trousers. And the result was a lot of the iconic imagery we know of the character even today. Forty years on it still holds up and it's influence has been felt across multi...

We're going back to where it all began, the original King Kong movie from 1933. It's influence is still felt to this very day with it's unique story, amazing use of stop motion coupled with rear projection and a symphonic score to accompany the iconic imagery. It's easy to see why it became an instant classic and remains relevant in the year 2024. Thanks for watching SUBSCRIBE HERE ►► http://goo.g...
