The ruthless queen Ravenna (Theron) turns her good-natured sister Freya (Blunt) into a brutal ice queen, making them the most powerful beings to rule the land.

Stories told from the first person point-of-view are few and far between, but Hardcore Henry is changing that. The hero, waking up with no memory of his previous life, has to dodge bullets, scale rooftops and engage in gunfights to save his kidnapped wife.
The city of Moscow forms the backdrop, with thugs and mercenaries getting in the way at every turn. If action camera footages make you puke, it might be a good idea to skip this movie. Else, prepare for a fast-paced film that’ll leave you at the edge of your seat.

Marvel’s next box office hit pits its heroes against each other, even throwing in new additions such as Spiderman (Tom Holland) and Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman).
Captain America (Chris Evans), leading the new team of Avengers, receives public backlash stemming from collateral damage in their humanity-saving efforts. A governing body is put in place to keep the heroes in check and this divides all who are affected.
While Captain America firmly believes that heroes should be allowed to operate without interference, Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) begs to differ. Their differences will prove unbearable and wreck the bond between their teammates who have chosen their sides.
