It’s easy to lump the first Iron Man in with other superhero films of the era, but it’s important to remember that the movie was seriously groundbreaking. In 2003, Robert Downey Jr. was driving a car filled with drugs when he decided to pull over for a cheeseburger. Fast forward five years, when genius billionaire Tony Stark (played by Downey Jr.) returns to the United States after three months held in captivity. Not that it necessarily mattered; at the time, your average filmgoer had no idea wh

Not just me then…That Fallen Kingdom is shaping up to be the scariest Jurassic movie yet, shouldn’t really be a surprise, given that director J.A. Bayona was picked for the job by writer/producer and franchise-overseer Colin Trevorrow, who directed Jurassic World and will return for the untitled JW3 in 2021. It’s a Jurassic bonanza, featuring a special supplement on 25 years of the definitive dinosaur movies, a Fallen Kingdom art card and a How It Works: Dinosaurs ebook. Figures when you subscri

Ten years ago today Iron Man propelled into cinemas launching one of the most successful movie franchises of all time. Iron Man understands that being a superhero is supposed to be fun. And by the time Iron Man tests his metal against the bigger Iron Monger you want them to get it over with as quickly as possible – surprising, as it’s only the second proper glimpse we get of Iron Man in action. But I can’t quite see his Iron Man capturing the imagination. In hindsight, we’re sure that Bradshaw t

In life and in death, to have and to hold, arguing over extraditing a war criminal after your King has been deposed yadda, yadda, yadda. Try telling that to Black Panther married couple Okoye and W’Kabi, who – in this brand-new deleted scene – engage in a big ol’ slanging match. Still, it’s a great little scene, and credit to Danai Gurira and Daniel Kaluuya for really bringing their A-games. Even without that deleted scene, the movie had so much to talk about. Like EVERYTHING to do with the Blac

Han Solo has always been a bit of a speed demon. You can find Han behind the wheel in this exclusive image, courtesy of our sister publication Total Film magazine, as he takes Qi’ra (Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke, in the background of the shot) for a spin in a speeder. Presumably just out of shot are those lucky gold dice hanging from the rearview mirror. Take a look at the exclusive image for yourself below…(Image: © Disney)Obviously an actor like Harrison Ford leaves some mighty big boots

All you have to do to get it is sign up and take out some wolves – including Jacob Seed’s brainwashed Judges – with arrows. To get the outlandish gun, you’ll need to collect ten collars.

“Until May 14, you’ll receive 2× bonus XP for Gym Battles and Raid Battles. Plus, Raid Battles will also award a guaranteed 3,000 Stardust for participating – and at least one Rare Candy if you win.” Today Niantic also announced new Field Research tasks and rewards that will focus on the Flying- and Electric-flavored Pokemon.

Sea of Thieves broadened its sartorial horizons in a new update, and you’ll have to do a little bit of traveling if you want to pick up all the new looks. The new clothes selections arrive in the form of several new sets: Executive Admiral, Grand Admiral, Rotten Bilge Rat, Castaway Bilge Rat, Corsair Sea Dog, Ruffian Sea Dog, and Imperial Sovereign. Despite the similar names, they’re not all just palette swaps of one another – look at the difference between the Admiral Jacket on the left and the

She’s outgunned, she’s outnumbered, she’s not made of Teflon, so she needs to be very smart and resourceful in combat. In Shadow of the Tomb Raider, if you can escape from everyone and they can’t find you, it will reset so you can go at it again. If you think about Yamatai [the ancient Japanese kingdom from 2013’s Tomb Raider ], it’s a character as much as anyone else. Introducing swimming was a big focus for Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and in the hour we played we nearly drowned twice… In Rise

Just in case you haven’t seen it yet, Avengers: Infinity War is huge. Note: There are mild spoilers for Avengers: Infinity War from this point on. “The Russo brothers would come in when they weren’t editing Civil War,” McFeely tells me. If you were disappointed that Ant-Man didn’t make an appearance in Infinity War, don’t worry, because it sounds like he could play a significant role in the next movie. They were originally Parts 1 and 2, but then became just Avengers: Infinity War and its sequel

The making of a Venomverse How to make the Venom movie work without it being part of the MCUWhere Spider-Man uses his powers to help others, Venom is selfish. that’s not how Venom was originally conceived or introduced, ergo that’s not Venom at all. For example, when complaining that the Venom movie won’t feature Spider-Man, many such arguments conveniently ignore the fact that this also means it won’t feature the Beyonder or Battleworld. We don’t need Venom to come from Spider-Man any more than

If you’re looking for bleak TV, it’s absolutely the place to be on May 4 when it launches. Hoping to follow in the footsteps of the deliciously dark, er, Dark, this is Netflix’s next big European project. It comes from a fantastic TV culture in Denmark, which has given us some of the best noir TV ever created, over the past ten years or so. The Killing, The Bridge, and Borgen are very much products of the excellent Danish TV industry. It’s quite a coup, then, for something like The Rain to have

You can read our full Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze review below, but it’s a 2D platformer that excels at being just that. For this port, Switch exclusive features aren’t plentiful, but when the original game is as good as Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze, why mess with what’s already a top notch game? Original Wii U reviewSeeing everything there is to see in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is a privilege, not a right. Donkey Kong makes tracks to reclaim his banana-laden home, with Diddy

Okay, if you’re still with us, here’s what Norse mythology could tell us about the future of God of War, Kratos, Atreus and more. The actual meaning of the panel isn’t known by the end of God of War, but it doesn’t look good for Kratos going forward. As for Thor, the God of Thunder doesn’t actually play a major role in God of War. But for some characters in God of War, Ragnarok is already a painful memory. My original knowledge of Ragnarok came from the MCU, as the entire premise of Thor: Ragnar

What with Star Wars: The Last Jedi (and unfortunate real-life events) culling the heroic herd somewhat, it’s seemingly time for Star Wars 9 to step up to the plate and offer us a fresh member to add to the new generation of heroes we’ve come to know and love. The Hashtag Show is reporting through its sources that the new character, Caro, will be an “ethnic female”. All this comes to her effortlessly.” So far, so very Star Wars, then. Which is no bad thing judging by the successes of the new char

The question on everyone’s minds is how the long teased meteor strike has actually impacted Fortnite Battle Royale in-game, and the answer is suitably mind blowing. For example, there are new Point of Interests and locations to explore in the wake of the meteor shower. The big one is Dusty Divot; a giant crater left by the comet’s impact where Dusty Depot used to be. Just picked up the Season 4 Battle Pass? Read up on our expert Fortnite Battle Royale tips to learn the best ways to score that co

Despite the unravelling bloodshed, I’m having a lot of fun, and that’s State of Decay 2 in a nutshell. It’s violent, tense, unrelenting, and thoroughly dystopian, but what a treat to have a zombie survival sim that’s so entertaining in its depiction of a world gone wrong. So the ‘survival’ part of State of Decay 2’s zombie survival sim is definitely alive and well, and if you enjoyed the original, then that news is probably music to your ears. But what’s different about Undead Labs’ sequel, now

This year’s official FIFA World Cup videogame has been confirmed for a release date of 29 May – and, breaking with convention, it’ll be a free expansion to FIFA 18 rather than a standalone game. Inevitably the full finals tournament is fully playable, though it’s the expansion’s approach to Ultimate Team which is likely to garner most discussion from the series’ notoriously hardcore fanbase. Like in 2014 – and as discussed in GR’s recent World Cup 2018 wishlist – World Cup Ultimate Team is its o
