Justice League (2017)

After Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice there were changes specially on  the expectatives of the fans of what was forthcoming for the DC cinematic universe, after revealing with this movie that they were trying to imitate the strategy used by Marvel studios, which is based on the system used in comic books where you have your weekly short stories for each of the characters and then at the end of the month you can expect to read a special issue or story arc where all the individual characters get together; but this time is in the movies and the wait is longer. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, kept trying to bring that dark tone and slow paced thriller that the Dark Knight trilogy delivered in good shape, but never reached the same bar, at least for more of the critics. In our personal opinion Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, it did feel slow paced and to get all the details you have to watch it a few times to get all the stuff that was happening. Still, Batman v Superman: Dawn

Allied (2016)

Allied it is a thriller/drama movie directed by the master of Hollywood cinema Robert Zemeckis. It has a duration of two hours and four minutes so get your popcorn, sit back and have fun! In the era of the German occupation at France, in the second World war, there was an experienced Canadian spy named Max Vatan (Brad Pitt), who was assigned to a special mission into Casa Blanca where he has to find a woman dressed in purple and by ‘following the humming bird’. When Marianne Beauseiour (Marion Cotillard) and Max Vatan met they understood that keeping a romance with their type of job was harder than their mission. Allied is a movie with a plot of romance in a dangerous time by setting the premises of the characters questioning themselves ‘is love harder than my duty?’ and ‘Who should I trust?’; knowing that in a spy movie this plot isn’t that original. But that is only the surface or the excuse to create scenes that will make you want to discover who is who.
