To date, there have been six feature films based on "Star Trek," four based on Star Trek: The Next Generation," and three set in a rebooted timeline (called the Kelvin timeline by fans). Those 13 films were all released theatrically from 1979 to 2016, averaging one film every three years or so. Up next, "Star Trek: Section 31" is slated for release on Paramount+ sometime in 2025, and it will be the first "Star Trek" TV movie. There has also long been talk of making a fourth film in the Kelvin timeline, but that movie's fate is currently a question mark; I'll believe it when I see it.
The longstanding general consensus is that the odd-numbered "Star Trek" films are bad and unsuccessful, while the even-numbered films are amazing hits. "Star Trek: The Motion Picture," for instance, was something of a disappointment at the box office, but "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan...

Video game films are a sore subject for the movie industry. It is generally accepted that of all the adaptations released in the last 30 years, the number of truly worthy ones can be counted on one hand.
Borderlands also turned out to be a disappointment – the movie has just been released and already has a crushing 6% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Hardcore fans, however, remember that the world of game adaptations has seen far worse examples than Borderlands.
1. BloodRayne, 2005
The notorious director Uwe Boll's example is a lesson for those who are afraid of making mistakes. After all, if you repeat the same mistake countless times, you can become the director of the movie BloodRayne.
The film has almost no connection with the plot of the game: Rayne, a vampire-human hybrid, is looking for her father to carry out a righteous judgment on him, and ordinary residents of Romania oppose her.

Mortal Kombat director Simon McQuoid is back at the helm for the sequel Mortal Kombat 2, and while the video game adaptation wrapped production back in January after a bumpy ride through the year of the strikes, it sounds like they’re doing some reshoots at the moment. Ludi Lin reprises the role of Liu Kang in the new film, and while doing the press rounds for the martial arts movie Art of Eight Limbs, where he co-stars with former TV Spider-Man Nicholas Hammond, Lin took a moment to hype Mortal Kombat 2 to the folks at Screen Rant, saying the sequel is bigger and better than its predecessor, and that Karl Urban’s performance as popular video game character Johnny Cage will “blow your socks off.”
The screenplay for Mortal Kombat 2 has been written by Jeremy Slater, who was the lead writer on the Marvel / Disney+ series Moon Knight.

Erik Kripe’s The Boys received divisive reviews in its fourth and penultimate season. Despite having its signature gory sequences, with more Homelander shenanigans and exploding farm animals, the fourth season was largely considered to be a downgrade from its predecessors.
While the season had plenty of unhinged sequences, one scene from season 3 has to take the cake in terms of the show’s boldness. The episode in question sees the superhero Termite going inside the urethra of a lover and pleasuring him from the inside. The crew reportedly had to build an 11-foot p*nis set to film the sequence.

Peter Jackson created a living history with the Lord of the Rings trilogy. The director’s penchant for the realm of fantasy and all that it has to offer has in turn delivered the audience a land of endless escapism. Such a rich world of lore and mysticism crafted by J.R.R. Tolkien would have never worked in the hands of anyone other than the Kiwi filmmaker.

Despite a strict authority over the lore of Tolkien’s universe, sticking too close to the source material would prove exhausting due to the complete surrealism of Middle-earth’s landscapes, scenery, and population. However, it was Peter Jackson’s unyielding faith in the adaptation and his ingenious inventions that crafted the Lord of the Rings trilogy as a modern-day classic in pop culture history.

Fans of the beloved Mortal Kombat video game franchise have much to anticipate for the upcoming sequel, according to star Ludi Lin. In a recent interview, the actor who reprises his role as Liu Kang teased an even more expansive film that will feature a breakout performance from Karl Urban as Johnny Cage.
Lin spoke glowingly of the ambitious production currently filming in Australia, revealing a significantly larger scale with “everything…bigger.” He also praised Urban’s dedication, stating the actor “is going to blow your socks off” in the pivotal role of Johnny Cage. Lin sees Urban bringing the same gritty charisma he exhibited as Billy Butcher in The Boys.

Oi! You! This post contains spoilers for "The Boys."
Season 4 of the hit Prime Video superhero satire series "The Boys" was a pretty rough ride, with some of the show's most depressing and disturbing moments yet. Almost everyone on the team known as "The Boys" had a tough time of things, and no one is in a particularly good place by the end of the season. The Boys' leader, Billy Butcher (Karl Urban), is having an especially difficult go, as he's dying because of his prolonged use of Temp V, which gave him superpowers for awhile but also infected him with a rather violent parasite. That parasite has some pretty unusual side effects, chief among them hallucinations of an important figure from Butcher's past: Joe Kessler (Jeffrey Dean Morgan). The biggest problem with that is that Butcher doesn't realize that Joe is a hallucination for a very long time,...

There’s no other show that kills off a character like “The Boys,” and in Season 4, it was no different. Here’s everyone who got murked in the epic Prime Video superhero series.
There are variety of ways to go in “The Boys” universe. Some people are crushed, others explode and some are even burned alive. And while fans may have been waiting for the day for some characters to be taken out, others have made viewers shed tears of sadness.

We're still waiting (and probably will be for a while longer) on a first look at some footage from Warner Bros./New Line's Mortal Kombat 2, but producer and co-creator of the iconic video game series, Ed Boon, has now taken to social media to share a teasing glimpse of one of the new characters who'll be debuting in the sequel, Kitana.
Her face is kept hidden, but we do get a look at the fan-favorite fighter's signature weapon and costume. Kitana will be played by Chilling Adventures of Sabrina actress Adeline Rudolph.
The Netflix series marked Rudolph's screen debut, but the Hong Kong-born model-turned-actress has also appeared in the CW’s Riverdale and Netflix’s Resident Evil series. She is also set to play the female lead in Millennium’s Hellboy: The Crooked Man.
Boon also revealed that he has seen an unfinished cut of the movie.

For such a brutally violent, anarchic series, The Boys hasn't been particularly ruthless when it comes to killing off its main characters over the course of four seasons, but, not too surprisingly, it sounds like this will change in the fifth and final batch of episodes.
While speaking to TV Guide about his plans for the final season, showrunner Eric Kripke was asked if he's already decided who is going to survive and who will come to a no-doubt messy end.
"Anyone who dies in season 5 will richly deserve it. We have a certain sense of who live and who dies, but we don't have it all totally figured out. But you get to do the final season of a show and go out on your own terms, so not everyone's making it through."
Potential spoilers follow.

Karl Urban has starred in some of the biggest movies and franchises that catapulted his name in the industry. He has been in the Star Trek films, the MCU, The Boys, Riddick, and the Lord of The Rings franchises. The latter became his breakout project where he played Éomer, the leader of the Riders of Rohan.

The Lord of the Rings is one of the most celebrated fantasy epics of all time and Peter Jackson’s three-film adaptation is often regarded as a cinematic achievement. The trilogy was a near-faithful adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic novels which were considered unadaptable at the time.
However, a project as big as the trilogy, which was shot back-to-back and cost $281 million at the time, obviously had some goof-ups and mistakes. One glaring error was actor Karl Urban’s Éomer being briefly replaced by his body double in a shot after the battle at Helm’s Deep. Jackson mentioned that they forgot to replace the double in post-production.

The Boys has successfully released four seasons, which continue to captivate audiences’ attention all across the globe. Since character deaths are inevitable in the series, Season 4 delivered a gut-wrenching blow as Claudia Doumit’s character, Victoria Neuman, met a gruesome end at the hands of Karl Urban’s Billy Butcher.

Fans of "The Boys" should prepare to see a lot more of Captain America-parody Soldier Boy (played by Jensen Ackles) in the near future. Ackles is not only starring as Soldier Boy in a prequel spin-off, "Vought Rising," he's also set to be a series regular for the fifth and final season of "The Boys."
Soldier Boy was introduced in season 3 of the hit superhero satire series. Once the leader of America's greatest superhero team, Payback, his teammates tired of his abusive behavior in 1984 and backstabbed him, handing him over to Ussr scientists for (super)human experiments. The Boys found Soldier Boy in cold storage and awakened him; the experiments gave him the ability to fire blasts of radiation that removed supes' powers.

Once the leader of America's greatest superhero team, Payback, his teammates tired of his abusive behavior in 1984 and backstabbed him, handing him over to Ussr scientists for (super)human experiments. The Boys found Soldier Boy in cold storage and awakened him; the experiments gave him the ability to fire blasts of radiation that removed supes' powers.

After being (narrowly) defeated and put on ice at the end of The Boys season 3, Soldier Boy made a brief appearance in the recent season 4 finale post-credits scene, and we got confirmation that Jensen Ackles will officially return as a series regular for the fifth and final season during San Diego Comic-Con over the weekend.
The former leader of Payback didn't have much loyalty to anyone but himself, but worked alongside Billy Butcher and the gang for the majority of the third season - even after finding out that Homelander was his biological son.
Unfortunately, Soldier Boy attacking Ryan forced Butcher to betray him, and it sounds like the mega-powerful Supe holds a grudge.
"You know, what we realized was we really hadn't explored the father-son relationship much between Homelander and Soldier Boy," showrunner Eric Kripke tells Gamesradar+. "There's a lot of material there, how soldier boy feels about Homelander,...

The Boys: The Shocking Marvel & DC Parodies You Never Saw Coming - Main Image
In a world where superheroes are always looked up to, the famous series The Boys says: What if they are flawed and egotistical? The Amazon Prime series has broken the traditional hero narrative by exposing the darker side of fandom.
The superheroes in this darkly comedic series are shockingly accurate parodies of Marvel and DC characters. Writers haven't held back from making parodies of famous comic book characters.
William Billy Butcher - Karl Urban
The character of Billy Butcher can be seen as a direct parody of The Punisher from Marvel. Both these characters operate outside the law using violent means and are highly skilled in combat.
They don't trust government and established institutions and are driven by vengeance.

The next Mortal Kombat movie is going to kick things up a notch. That’s according to Lewis Tan, who plays Cole Young in the films. Tan talked all about Mortal Kombat 2 at San Diego Comic-Con this year. He says the fights will be even longer and bloodier than before. The gore and violence will be more intense, bringing the film closer to the super crazy battles in the video games.
Tan explained that the filmmakers listened to what fans liked and didn’t like about the first movie. “We made the sequel a hundred times better based on your feedback,” he said. One big change – this time they’re including an all-important tournament, just like in the games. The first movie left that part out.

The Boys found increased views for Season 4 and there are several important factors to consider here. Karl Urban and Antony Starr’s acting as Butcher and Homelander make up 90% of those factors.

Even ahead of the recently launched finale of The Boys Season 4, it was known that this would be the penultimate season of Prime Video’s superhero series. Season 5 is in the early stages of development, but there are some hints here and there of what’s to come at the end of the Eric Kripke run show.
Season 4’s premiere saw a 21% increase in total viewers compared to Season 3’s first four days on the streamer. The penultimate installment tackled political themes ahead of the 2024 election, and the finale had to undergo a name change following the attempted assassination on former president Donald Trump just days before the final episode launched.

Unless your political persuasion got in the way, you probably didn’t need much help understanding the fascist undertones of the Seven, the premier superhero team in the Amazon series The Boys. After all, the Seven’s leader Homelander (Antony Starr) is a blond-haired, blue-eyed Superman stand-in who wears a cape made out of the American flag, and regularly attends evangelical meetings where he compares his will to the will of God.
Amazon will further expound on the fascist roots of the superheroes in The Boys: Vought Rising. As announced at San Diego Comic-Con, The Boys: Vought Rising will go back to the first days of the global mega-corporation Vought International. According to a statement from The Boys‘ showrunner Eric Kripke and Vought Rising showrunner Paul Grellong (via Variety), the series will be “a twisted murder mystery about the origins of Vought in the 1950s, the early exploits of Soldier Boy,...

[This story contains spoilers from The Boys season four.]
The universe of The Boys is expanding again.
At Comic-Con on Friday, Prime Video announced that it’s ordered a prequel series called Vought Rising that will star Jensen Ackles and Aya Cash, reprising their roles from the flagship series.
Ackles made an appearance onstage at Hall H in San Diego to thunderous applause, and Cash announced the series in a video. Vought Rising joins The Boys‘ college-set spinoff Gen V and the animated show The Boys Presents: Diabolical in Prime Video’s franchise. The 1950s-set series takes place in New York City and, as Ackles said at Comic-Con, will track the “humble yet diabolical” beginnings of Vought.
The Comic-Con panel allowed the main show to take a victory lap after an acclaimed season that also shared tragic parallels to real life.

The conclusion of Season 4 of Amazon Prime’s The Boys has left fans shaking. After a slower season which saw plenty of criticism, the season finale saw a number of critical events taking place, which has set up a tasty season 5 which will see some of the major characters exchange blows.

The hit Prime Video series "The Boys" is deeply satirical and full of shocking laughs, but it's also pretty emotionally heavy at times too. The characters suffer tremendous losses at almost every turn, and it doesn't matter whether they're one of the series' heroes, villains, or they fit somewhere in the middle. It turns some of the characters into real monsters, but thanks to some careful writing and powerhouse performances, it's hard not to still care about them somewhat. While season 4 gets a bit bogged down in the misery of it all, there are some truly incredible performances that help hold it aloft. The villainous Homelander is expertly played by Antony Starr, who is one of the best in the business at playing emotionally disturbed killers, but his chief nemesis is portrayed with just as much nuance and skill. Karl Urban, who plays the conflicted on-and-off again leader of The Boys,...

The Boys is probably one of the most gory and violent series out there. What’s one more franchise that is gory, disgusting, and, foul-mouthed? Ryan Reynold’s Deadpool.

The Boys has been a unique entry in the superhero genre with its deconstruction of the genre itself and the social commentary on real-world events. The show has distinguished itself from the more predominant entries like Marvel and DC who are more family-friendly and conventional. With The Boys, the satire and political commentary overpower the conventional superhero tropes.

This post contains spoilers for "The Boys" season 4 finale.
Victoria Neuman (Claudia Doumit) has been a wild card since her introduction in "The Boys." Revealed to be a head-popping Supe with immense durability, Neuman emerged as a complex character with complicated allegiances that kept shifting with the show's progress. Although Neuman was forced to work closely with an overbearing Homelander (Antony Starr), who outed her as a Supe on live television at the end of the latest season, her genuine, almost-familial bond with Hughie (Jack Quaid) posed an intriguing possibility for her as an ally to the titular Boys. However, the show's Season 4 finale robbed us of this what-if scenario when an enraged Butcher (Karl Urban) unceremoniously snapped her in half and put an abrupt end to her wonderful, promising arc.

Revealed to be a head-popping Supe with immense durability, Neuman emerged as a complex character with complicated allegiances that kept shifting with the show's progress. Although Neuman was forced to work closely with an overbearing Homelander (Antony Starr), who outed her as a Supe on live television at the end of the latest season, her genuine, almost-familial bond with Hughie (Jack Quaid) posed an intriguing possibility for her as an ally to the titular Boys. However, the show's Season 4 finale robbed us of this what-if scenario when an enraged Butcher (Karl Urban) unceremoniously snapped her in half and put an abrupt end to her wonderful, promising arc.

Spoiler Alert !!!This article contains spoilers from The Boys Season 4 and The Boys comics.
Season 5 of The Boys might as well be a no-holds-barred gore fest, given that the gloves are off after four seasons of calculated build-up. Now, Homelander has complete control of the United States of America, and The Boys have been captured by the devious supe. Only Annie and Butcher remain at large, with at least one of them plotting to spring her allies from Homenlander’s clutches.

Worries are swirling over a supposed social media post hinting at Karl Urban's The Boys exit before Season 5.
Urban has been a part of the R-rated superhero Amazon Prime Video series since in inception, playing the dastardly-but-lovable Billy Butcher.
Urban's Billy has been through a lot throughout The Boys' four seasons, going from an everyday man hunting down super-powered beings to becoming a Supe of his own to hopefully get on the level of some of his god-like foes.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for The Boys Season 4, Episode 8, “Season Four Finale.”] Season 4 of The Boys thrust the titular group of vigilantes into the heart of a political uprising as Homelander (Antony Starr) made a grab for constitutional power beyond his terrifying Supe abilities, but there were some pockets of sunshine to be found amid the chaos, particularly with Karen Fukuhara‘s Kimiko. Sure, she had her struggles and challenges like many of the other characters, but she worked on finding her voice and managed to be honest with will-they-won’t-they second half, Frenchie (Tomer Capone), sharing their first real kiss in the finale episode. But as with most things in the world of The Boys, the good can’t last forever as Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) revealed his new abilities in the final moments by tearing Victoria Neuman (Claudia Doumit) apart, and not long after Kimiko and Frenchie were separated when apprehended by Gen...

The Boys adult superhero comic book series is one of the most successful source materials that has been adapted into a live-action series. Originally created by Garth Ennis, the saga has easily cemented itself as one of the strongest fan-favorite comic book storylines of all time. So much so that it was even going to have its own live-action movie as well.

This would have taken place under the guidance and supervision of Ennis. However, its success wouldn’t have been guaranteed to reach the same heights as the smash hit television series due to one too many reasons. For one, it just may have led to Ennis sacrificing some major satirical elements of his blockbuster storyline just to get the movie greenlit.

Does Homelander hate women?
As season 4 of The Boys came to a close, Homelander actor Antony Starr sat down with Vulture for a deep dive into what makes the evil Superman tick, and one question in particular seemed to provide a lot of clarity.
When the interviewer asserted that Homelander seems to hate women, Starr was quick to dissuade that notion, stating that the lab-built superhero has conflicting feelings when it comes to the opposite sex.
"I think it’s a little more complicated than that [Laughs]," said Starr.
In response to the interviewer's reference to Madelyn Stillwell, Queen Maeve, Sister Sage and Firecracker, he replied, "Across the board, those actresses that you listed — fantastic. It’s vitally important that you have a good rapport with the people you’re working with, particularly when you’re dealing with this very strange Oedipal complex Homelander has."
"Homelander wasn’t raised with parents.

Spoiler Alert !!!Spoilers ahead for The Boys
The season finale for Amazon Prime Video’s The Boys turned out to be a life-savior for the show which has had a bland season so far. Based on Garth Ennis’ comics of the same name, the season 4 finale saw Billy Butcher finally let the darkness take over and the Boys separated.
However, one key moment in the show reportedly sets up the comic book ending in the series. Earlier in the season, Jack Quaid’s Hughie takes the difficult decision of euthanizing his father after he goes rogue with a dash of Compound V in his body. This sets up the ending for the show, which many believed Erik Kripke had avoided.

Get ready for a somewhat lengthy wait to see how phase 2 of Homelander and Sister Sage's dastardly plan for America shakes out. Actor Karl Urban has confirmed that the final season of The Boys won't begin streaming until 2026 in a post to his Instagram account.
"Working with the illustrious Jeffrey Dean Morgan was the best part of my day every day. That’s all @theboystv for now folks. See you in …2 years (wish it was sooner) for the final season on Prime Video," wrote Urban.

With the conclusion of the show's fourth season, The Boys has journeyed incredibly far from the source material (a 2006 Dynamite comic book series from Garth Ennis and illustrator Darick Robertson), meaning it is anyone's guess as to how the show will conclude.
In terms of why the show is ending at season 5, series creator Erik Kripke previously stated,...

Chris Pine took over the iconic role of Captain Kirk in J.J. Abrams’ 2009 movie Star Trek. This was the reboot of the original series created under the vision of Gene Roddenberry. Pine’s performance was praised by the public so much that he returned to the character for Star Trek Beyond (2016) and Into Darkness (2013). About eight years ago, a follow-up movie was ordered in response to its enormous popularity.

The Boys recently aired the Season 4 finale episode, and fans have a lot to say. This has been one of the slowest seasons of the show since it premiered back in 2019. But there is yet another criticism the season has faced a lot. One that you would not connect to a show like The Boys.

The writing of the season has not been on par with the previous ones. As the show is coming to an end after the next season, which will be its 5th and final, fans cannot help but wonder if the showrunners and the writers are trying to fastrack the storyline to come to an end. This is one criticism that has been faced by another very popular show – Taylor Sheridan created Yellowstone.

If you’re itching for more brutal superhero action from “The Boys,” get ready for a long wait. Star Karl Urban, who plays the no-nonsense Billy Butcher, just revealed some disappointing details – the epic showdown between Butcher and Homelander won’t end until 2026 when Season 5 hits Amazon Prime.
Urban broke the news on Instagram. He posted a picture of Butcher covered in blood and clutching his trusty crowbar. In the caption, he wrote that working with Jeffrey Dean Morgan was the best part of filming each day. But then he dropped the bomb – fans will have to wait two whole years to see how the insane story concludes. Ouch!
