With this week’s releases, it’s pretty sure what the studios are playing at. We’ve only got 3 big movies out this Friday and nothing looks to be competing with anything else for your cinema going pound. The big one’s Bat’s v Supes for all you action/comic book fans. If you’re not old enough for that then Zootropolis is aimed at you. If you’re not a kid and comic books aren’t your thing then there’s a Big Fat Greek Sequel* for you to check out. That cover’s everyone right?
*That’s surely a better name than ‘My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2’ isnt it? They missed a trick there.
Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice (3D) (12A)
Director: Zack Synder
Starring: Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Gal Gadot, Jesse Eisenberg
Fearing the actions of a god-like super hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before.
Zootropolis (3D) (PG)
Director: Byron Howard, Rich Moore
Starring: Voices: Ginnifer Goodwin, Jason Bateman, Idris Elba, J K Simmons, Octavia Spencer
The modern mammal metropolis of Zootropolis is a city like no other. Comprised of habitat neighborhoods like ritzy Sahara Square and frigid Tundratown, it’s a melting pot where animals from every environment live together—a place where no matter what you are, from the biggest elephant to the smallest shrew, you can be anything. But when optimistic Officer Judy Hopps arrives, she discovers that being the first bunny on a police force of big, tough animals isn’t so easy. Determined to prove herself, she jumps at the opportunity to crack a case, even if it means partnering with a fast-talking, scam-artist fox, Nick Wilde, to solve the mystery. Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Zootropolis” a comedy-adventure directed by Byron Howard (“Tangled,” “Bolt”) and Rich Moore (“Wreck-It Ralph,” “The Simpsons”) and co-directed by Jared Bush (“Penn Zero: Part-Time Hero”).
