Ben Kingsley in Marvel’s All Hail the King , trailer clip

We are just over one week from the release of the latest Marvel one shot entitled All Hail the King. Marvel has released a new clip from the short courtesy of USA Today.
All Hail the King follows the story of the Trevor Slattery. If you watched Iron Man 3, you will recognize Slattery as the “actor” who fooled Iron Man into believing that he was The Mandarin, the man responsible for all the atrocities being wrought against Iron Man and those he is close to. However, it turns out that the evil was someone else entirely, and that Slattery was nothing more than an actor playing a role.
Speaking of actors, Slattery was portrayed in both Iron Man 3 and All Hail the King by veteran actor Sir Ben Kingsley.
When we catch up with Slattery, he is nice and secure in prison for his involvement in the whole “Mandarin” debacle. He has become quite the celebrity since everything came to a head. I guess, as far as he is concerned, that is a good thing. All he ever wanted was to be recognized for his work.
In the newest clip, some of his fellow inmates are just dying for him to do his impression of The Mandarin. As much as he tries to resist, he knows this is what he loves doing.
Here is a look at the latest clip from the Marvel One Shot All Hail the King.

Review of: Thor The Dark World


The current blueprint of a Superhero film is pretty standard; a lot of CGI, great cast of actors, terrible script, thin story-lines, a lot of over the top special fx, embarrassing script/written dialogue, a lead attractive female character an evil overly smug villain...oh and the  title Superhero.
This isn't necessarily a bad thing because at the end of the day, the question remains; Were you entertained? If the answer is yes, then studio execs are happy.

Thor: The Dark World fits into this blueprint quite nicely. A crap load of CGI, an extremely clumsy script with often unnecessary cheap humor, an  average story-line, lots of special effects and a pretty good cast.
Is it satisfying? Yes
Is it entertaining? Yes
Will you remember the story in a few weeks? No ....but this doesn't matter.
Does it have a unique and original story? Big No

This is the type of movie that is a filler for entertainment. It is quite entertaining and fun, but lacks any originality and has a very forgettable story.
If you like Superhero films, your going to enjoy this one.
I will rate this in perspective of other Superhero films and give it a big 6/10
