Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League (2024)
Not an Arkham game, looter shooter with bright colors
As soon as I heard that this game was set in the Arkham verse I knew people were going to expect another Arkham style game and feel. However this is completely different, it's a loose style main story looter shooter. This game, without trying to give spoilers, is all about going around metropolis killing all the brainiac minions and leveling up the 4 main playable characters with killing the justice league as more of a side mission. Flash was a high speed chase with trying to get shots off before he zips away, GL was a no holds barred grudge match with him sending his constructs to kill you, Batman was a stage fight where you had to get a timed shot off and then unload at his face, Superman was by far the hardest as he was nearly everything combined into one fight. All that being said the boss fights, in my opinion playing on the hardest difficulty allowed at the start, were not that difficult. The only boss fights that are truly hard are brainiac's, which makes sense. However I feel like killing the justice league should've been harder as they are the world's greatest heroes. I would give this game a 7/10 based off the city of metropolis looking absolutely beautiful, each character has something different and unique about him or her, the character designs, and the fact that once you beat the main story there is miles more things to do to level up and face harder foes. I love the Arkham games for obvious reasons, personally I feel like Knight was the best one so you can take that into account.
This game is not for everyone and I understand that and that's all good with me. Does it "ruin the Arkham verse" and that Batman? I would say that I would've enjoyed Batman's story more if it wasn't tied to a version that was unstoppable for years in Gotham defeating every criminal that came in his way. I do want to say that if you love DC, the Justice League, the Suicide Squad, or just think it looks cool then give it a try. If you don't like it then cool at least you said you tried, just don't make assumptions based off what someone that hasn't even played it yet.
Halloween Ends (2022)
Halloween Ends...with disappointment
How does one take a franchise that is arguably the best horror franchise in the history of cinema and produce this film. If you ask anyone about horror films and to name some of the more iconic villains, Micheal Myers is most likely going to be upon the ones names. So you have one of the most iconic characters in horror in a super successful franchise and yet you produce the final film in the series and it comes out to be a disappointing mess. Majority of the movie doesn't even have Micheal in it. This movie mainly deals with Corey, whom I assume is to be set up as the new "Boogeyman". However in the end he ends up being killed, so what's the point. The movie starts out telling how Corey accidentally killed a kid and now the town turns on him, but is cleared of said charges. So now we have this random kid who has no friends and was accused of murder. Okay set up to why he may potentially could become a new "Boogeyman". Fast forward 4 years, Micheal has apparently disappeared, and we see Laurie and how she bought a house, got sober, and lives with her granddaughter. She seems to have moved on from Micheal and all that jazz cause she's in the Halloween holiday spirit. Allyson, her granddaughter, isn't. She now works as a nurse and is upset that her coworker got the promotion instead of her. Corey now works at a junkyard but is still being beaten down by the town constantly reminding him of what happened. He goes into a gas station and gets a drink only to be attacked by seniors after he refuses to buy them beer. He cuts his hand but his saved by Laurie. In the hospital Corey meets Allyson and weirdly have a connection between them and Allyson flirts with him and after a little they become a couple but if you ask me it's highly unhealthy. All the while this happens Corey keeps running into the seniors and keeps getting jumped. During one night he is thrown over a bridge. He is drug into the sewers to find Micheal hiding. Instead of being afraid for his life he is rather intrigued by him, practically wanting him to show him how he kills people. Throughout the rest of the movie Corey keeps trying to get Allyson to turn her back on the town and come with him. Laurie of course doesn't like this and attempts to get Allyson away from him. Eventually learning and talking to the family of the son he kinda killed and how he has "changed". Corey kills a homeless man, a cop who Allyson used to date, and the coworker who was banging the doctor into getting her the raise, and that same doctor. All while "learning" from Micheal. Corey then kills all the senior kids, mainly ofc screen cause budget probably. And then attempts to murder Laurie. But, after a phony suicide call to the police to drag them to the house, shoots Corey in the chest. Corey is eventually killed and the final show down ensues between Laurie and Micheal. It all ends in a throat slit and a wrist slit that kills the Boogeyman. All is done when they tie Micheal to the top of the car, ride through town bringing people along, and throwing him into an industrial grade compactor thingy then throw metal into that basically gets shredded. Anyways Micheal is like dead dead.
That was a VERY brief of what happened in the film. My main beef with it is that I watched the movie wanting Micheal, not this random kid whom I don't care about. Like 90% of the film doesn't even include Micheal in it. They just talk about him and blaming Laurie for her obsession about him. And when he is in it he's portrayed as a mentor to this kid. And when Corey is dead it seems like Micheal never cared and just went after Laurie like always. In my opinion, Corey never should've been a thing. What they should've done is had the movie open up right where the last one ended and shown what the characters had to go through after losing Allyson's mom and seeing what Micheal has to do since being beaten mercilessly. Instead of telling us that Laurie went to therapy for a few years, why not show us what she had to do to overcome her daughters death. I would've rather liked to see Laurie end up dying by the hands of micheal as like the "only way to stop him". The connection they have fueling Micheal's rage and ability to get up after major damage be severed as the only way to finally put him down. Laurie still living is the reason Micheal is so strong and such a tank. I don't know that's my nonprofessional opinion on the matter. I just hated how they reduced Micheal to being a side character to be used only at the end to say they had him in the film. This film could've been set years after his death as a way to birth a new Boogeyman based off the legends of his name and violence.
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (2022)
MC- what is going on
After watching the finale I can confidently say that this show is a complete waste of time, effort, and money. The writers for one have no idea how to write a law show, or comedy show, or even a superhero show. The head writer stated these things in an interview, and they wonder why some many people are upset at the product. Trying not to give much away, because I can't. Nothing even happens in their show and they managed to make it 9 episodes of feeling like I'm a sedated gorilla playing a ps2 game being told it's supposed to make me laugh. The only reason to watch this show is for two characters. One of which is daredevil and the writers managed to make him a disappointment. The other, I guess is a spoiler for something that could potentially be building to so emptying good is Hulk's son Skaar. Other than that it's filled with one dimensional characters that have nothing to build off of or towards. The men in this show, if you can even call them that, are either depicting the worst type of human being or sad little puppies doing whatever their female overlords tell them to. Jen's arc is to live and learn to be both Jen and Shehulk, by proceeding to live as both Jen and Shehulk and then complain that not every guy wants to do her and then complain that men are trash. Nonsensical and pointless. If they are going to do a second season they only way to save this show is to get a new team of writers and take the time to plan what you want to tell story wise and actually make a law show with real court cases that last more than 2 minutes.
Dog (2022)
All over the place
In this most recent Channing Tatum film, we see him portray an ex army ranger who desires to get back into the game however he is tested by bringing his former partners dog to his funeral. Majority of the initial portion of the film it's more of a comedy with tearful parts but as it progresses if switches to a main tearful film with comedic sections.
I appreciated the military realism, and how Channing shows a tortured veteran who doesn't know what to do but what he knows.
Not to much negatives to say about the film. Overall solid movie to watch but definitely not for Friday family movie night.
Uncharted (2022)
Thomas Hollandsworth
Alright let me start off by saying I wasn't the biggest fan of Tom Holland when he made his initial big screen debut, however after the most recent Spider-Man and now this film, Holland is starting to grow on me. In my perspective, his recent roles have showcased his ability to harness his character and bring them to life. In Uncharted he was able to take a well known video game charterer and put him on the big screen. When a lot of people have doubts, just like me, he was able to portray him in a newer light that actually works in a full movie. The pairing of Holland and wahlberg is a pair I didn't know I needed. They work well off each other for great comedic scenes and emotional ones. Can't wait to see where this leads for not only uncharted but for potential future PlayStation films as well.
Tenet (2020)
A lot
So first off, a lot happens in this film. Holy gracious alive. If you are going to watch this film and want to understand this then you will have to devote you're full attention to this movie and possibly watch it a two more times after that. I mistakenly watched this at night and when I was tired and I accidentally fell asleep and when I woke I had almost no idea what had happened. Overall good idea and concept but not for casual viewing on a Friday night for the family.
Peacemaker (2022)
Give it a chance
I know some people may be hesitant to watch because of the recent stigma behind DC content and also that it stars John Cena, current/former WWE superstar. We've all seen what Dwayne Johnson has done and for the most part liked and appreciate his dedication to acting. We've also seen what John has done and for the most part he hasn't had the same success as Dwayne. However, that put aside John does a wonderful job in expressing his character, Peacemaker, in emotional and comedic scenes alongside his well established cast mates. John's ability to take this character that not many know and make him a someone that has me coming back for more is wonderful. Credit to John and the cast but also to James Gunn as well. Gonna be honest the first three episodes were not what I expected and had me about to quit, but after each week and seeing where it was leading made me appreciate the build up and establishing the tone of the series and characters and where they may go. So please give this a chance and see how you feel about Peacemaker.
