Avengers: Endgame (2019)
The way marvel outdoes itself with every next movies
Warning this review is heavy on spoilers.
That being said this is gonna be the best marvel movie by a landslide for a long time yes their are some unanswered questions left for future endeavors. That does make us think for a second what the hell, but long time fans and the people seen half of this series will perfectly understand.
This is an heavily structured movie.which consists three parts which is told in three hours. Well the movies starts with a broken and devastated team. The first hour of the movie focuses on the team putting themselves togather. Second hour is the solution for the snap. Third hour focuses on conseqences and the eponymous endgame.
Each and every character has his/her character arc and growth. Focused mostly on snap survived character and the core avengers team.had to add but even snapped have their moment to Especially Spiderman.
This also works really well because it's well acted, written and directed. It's a combination that makes a great perfectly structurised movie. For me one of the flaws for infinity war is that cgi is clunky at times but endgame solved that issue. For me this movie is a solid 9.8
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)
vol 2 goes beyond vol 1
set 3 to 6 months after vol 1 guardians now a soldiers of fortune gets into a mess with sovereign after doing a job for them.they where saved by a mysterious man Ego who claims to be peters dad.meanwhile yondu is still dealing with an unsatisfied crew for not going after guardians after quills betrayal from the first movie. sovereign leader places an offer for yondu/s ravager team a bounty on the guardians .meanwhile quill is trying to sort his feeling for his new found he goes to ego's planet with him alongside drax and gamora .but their is some hidden mystery behind him which leads to the final conflict.
lets make it clear vol 2 is nothing like vol 1 yes their are some similarities because of the character traits when it comes to sequels marvel tends to kinda rehash plots but gunn totally tries to steer away from the first one .one of best decision is to keep story timeline closer to first one .whats good about it ,it really explores aftermath of the first movie some of the characters from first movie like yondu and nebula .yondu really shined in this sequel one of the highlights is his relationship with peter(played to perfection by Micheal rooker )
if you talk about the movie it has different plots but center of each plot comes to family.be it quill and his dad or gamora and nebula or drax and mantis or rocket , groot and yondu. the movie strongly points out the man need to find a perfect family what we don't realize is family is family.this movie has triangle between two father and one son .
the movie does have flaws like the handling multiple story line can feel bit disassembled but this a very minor flaw which could be ignoredbecause the proceeding can make it shine.
Iron Fist (2017)
lack of pace affect the procedure but a solid entry into marvel Netflix line-up
Iron fist follows Danny rand (Finn Jones) who returns from kun lao a secret other dimensional city to his home town only to find it is infested with same mythical evil forces he is trained to fight.
first of all its not a perfect show despite its flaws its a good superhero show .Finn Jones shines as rand but the break out star is Jessica henwick who plays Coleen wing,
Luke Cage: Just to Get a Rep (2016)
" you know my name "
my over all exposure to Luke cage is mostly in Alias,pulse(I love Ben Ulrich in that series to),new avengers and few other comic books(notably classic Luke vs spidey from the late sixties) .From what I've read and seen in those comic book and games this episode establishes it pretty solidly about the character
This episode begins with cotton mouth trying establish the fact who is the boss after the events of Who's Gonna Take the Weight?.his goons starts to rattle Harlem and starts to call Luke cage out .Luke who is getting ready for pop's wake hears the news acts in an old fashioned manner which the thugs can understand and also trying to prevent people from falling into darkness
this episode shows the true effects of people when they are pushed into a corner.it's not just about common citizens of harlem this is also about cotton mouth to who pushed into corner by Luke .how Luke tries to push them outside this darkness
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Laws of Nature (2015)
a brilliant and promising start
Season starts 3 months after the events of SOS part 1 and 2 and they are all still facing the consequences.
Bobbi has a busted knee cap now who isn't completely recovered (she might even not )and she and hunter is in preparation to go after them .skye sorry daisy is the one now trying to handle the inhuman breakout (and its not just through fish oil they have totally contaminated the water system )and mack is her partner she tries to recruit a old friend to.coulson is handling a rival party the advanced threat containment unit (ATCU)who is after inhuman to(their motives are still unclear but they are not interested in killing anybody for now that's we're going to believe for now)while may is not back yet from vacation .fitz is still in process of figuring out what happened to Simmons (and he is the only one trying to) and a finally episode teases about that to .
Review
Like i said last year AOS isn't holding back anymore and it is still part of MCU this premier made it clear .the show is taking the word consequences pretty seriously .their is consequences for every thing in this series now .how much people get scared of the new inhuman out break and government is making a play on it to that is totally .one of the other point is the show is going into the world of marvel .yes the recent events in mcu is mentioned to not just mentioned they are significant to the plot to .age of ultron did made world a bad place for powered beings.
Have to give it to the writers they are successful integrating in-humans into the mcu .they have become part of the mcu (yes as a replacement to mutants sadly i think they work better than mutants) .performance wise they have all played their part pretty great both new and old .but the breakout star goes to Iain De Caestecker as leo fitz.
conclusion
After this awesome premier the show has a lot to live up to this season i hope they do .

Review and character Analysis
For a movie which is predicted to be first bomb in marvel cinematic universe franchise ant man(especially for it ridicule inducing name )is a huge surprise . The movie which had the one of the most highest behind the scene issue's especially for the departure of director Edgar wright who huge shoes filled by Peyton known only for his comedy movies.Edgar wrights and Joe Cornish's movie script was revised by Paul Rudd ,adam McKay and Peyton reed.the movie still has wrights signature all over it reed has good job. my only problem with the movie is the villain i don't think is he is a weak or bad villain my problem is he so i wished they have shown more of him to make him more fleshed out (but their is a space to bring him back for more i hope they bring him back) .One of the things i loved is they didn't deny the previous existence of ant-man and his partner wasp they added this perfectly without disrupting the flow of the movie .
The movie is also well complemented by an brilliant cast .First i have to mention is Michael Douglas hank/henry Pym(the original ant man ) seeing Michael as Pym especially the digitally DE-aged version in the opening scene which totally made me say that is exactly hank Pym in every way (i would totally love to see a prequel and it must be Michael Douglas who should be playing him ).Paul Rudd played very likable Scott Lang brilliantly with perfection .evangeline Lilly as hope is brilliant she played her role with ease .As i previously mention Corey stoll as cross made me wish their is more of him in the movie . last but not the least Michael Pena as Scott's motor mouth friend with a good punch Luis is a brilliant addition he really felt not just as a comical addition he is more like Rhody from iron man 3 who also had a part to play in the progress of the movie. David Dastmalchian and t.I is also good in their parts as Kurt and Dave.not to brilliant guest-starring of Anthony mackie as avenger Sam Wilson/falcon .bobby cannavale and Judy Greer are good in their parts to.
conclusion :ant-man which is lead by good script,director and an awesome cast is an entertaining entry from marvel with problems that could be solved in the future movies.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: S.O.S. Part 1 (2015)
a epic finale to an almost perfect second season
After the previous episodes rigged meeting between Gonzales and jia yin Gordon hijack a shield quinjet and fires at a empty inhuman cottage which triggers other inhuman against even Skye fall's for the ploy to she attacks may. when member's of Gonzales shield decides this is war coulson understand the situation and inhuman and he asks for time so that he could extract information from cal and the real reason he was sent with . Mean while Bobbi is tortured by ward and Kara AKA agent 33 since she was the one who gave accidentally and desperately give location of a shield safe house which belonged to 33.They want her accept her mistake and confess and then kill her .when that didn't work they set a trap for hunter and lured him in.
This are the threads and synopsis for the episode
Well first of on the basis of story and execution this episode hits all the right marks perfectly . The story brought back every story to an perfect conclusion . like in the side of new shield which almost reached conclusion last week.The inhuman arc still has lots of story to tell ,ended well for right now . ward's story took to another interesting and promising turn .mack ,Bobbi and hunter have turned to new angle,well but we have to wait for Bobbi's till the season 3 finale .Skye future took two different direction where her father had finally found peace .and she has a new and promising purpose in shield to be noted in the beginning as the worst character of the show .fitz and Simmons took a step forward that was aggressively and unexpectedly put to an halt .may is on a leave and decided to figure her life outside shield it might involve her ex-husband to .
overall performance of each and every cast was perfect .The most notable performance is none other than kyle maclachlan as calvin zabo the guy was totally a delight us the character be it with coulson(not to mention a great performance he is really comfortable as phil Coulson)or his daughter Skye .i hope see more of you sir .
The show pretty excelled in other angles to like in the department of vfx,sfx,action scenes ,camera and dialogues to .
i give this episode a solid 9.8. a great finale .
The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
a brilliant movie ,i was to late to see
Andy Dufrene a banker who was convicted of murdering his wife and her lover which he constantly denies .He is sent for life sentence to shaw-shank state penitentiary where he befriends prison contraband smuggler, Ellis "Red" Redding and spends his time doing unconventional thing to keep himself sane.
The movie is narrated through the voice of red played brilliantly Morgan freeman who is the prison contraband supplier .Throughout out the movie we see red narrating many prisoners of shaw-shank but mostly focuses on Andy.The Entire movie focuses on various major activities of Andy through out his time in prison. the story also focuses on the subject of the mind state of a long time prisoners their inability to know whats their purpose outside prison ,unless they don't have proper support their only chances are either going back to prison or death.
This is a true master-piece from frank Darabont (direction and screen play) and Stephen king .This movie is a 142 minute master- piece .please don't miss this movie
Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)
almost better movie than the first movie
I am using the official synopsis for not to spoil this movie to-much for anybody. When Tony Stark tries to jump-start a dormant peacekeeping program, things go awry and Earth's Mightiest Heroes, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye, are put to the ultimate test as the fate of the planet hangs in the balance. As the villainous Ultron emerges, it is up to The Avengers to stop him from enacting his terrible plans, and soon uneasy alliances and unexpected action pave the way for a global adventure.
I watched the movie my real feeling was "i need to watch it one more time"my plus points for the movie are following i will try to avoid the spoilers
1.Great team chemistry between the original team .it is highly explored through out the movie.their are still some rough patches major between stark and others
2.For me banner and widow chemistry worked for some it might feel sudden i didn't feel that because Whedon said in a interview he is going treat this movie like empire strike back the team will be together and doing mission for one year so lot might have between this two .
3. Ultron ,its a good thing tony created him they explored it well.Yes like in comics Pym just makes the initial bot ,after that he develop's himself.i like to see him back in some extent .spader just nailed the role .
4.Vision he was easily one of the best things of the movie,Initially i was scared how are they gonna introduce the character the movie is 75% over .i thought they are gonna do the whole transformers 4 Dino-bots thing .but vision clearly stole the show in every scene he is in ,Even though he was created by uploading Jarvis he still has Ultron in him(i am not telling more on that but i will say one thing it will be in connection with his comic book origin) in him but he is different i hope they explore him in any other future movie maybe Thor Ragnarok .
5. Maximoff twins they are done well .Barton puts their characters in simple punks yes they are shown two damage punks .i am pretty their are future plans for both of the character.i assume we will here from one of them more than what we think.
6 Brilliant score from Brian Taylor and Danny Elf-man
i would easily give this movie 9.5 for the above reason but their are still more reason's two love this film yes it has flaws but for me they are negligible and i hate to nitpick.one of the flaw i could say if i want, it tries to dwell a bit on M.C.U it will be a bit confusing to uninitiated but then again it's a cross-over . i recommend this movie for having enjoyable and great time PS: don't watch it in cam print .
Daredevil (2015)
superior super hero show which elevated the genre to a whole new level
A great origin story for the man with out fear show takes major inspiration from miller's man with out fear arc ,which shows a very strong relationship between Matt and his father jack and how much his ideologies are inspired by his father .The first two episodes explores this in a very detailed .The show also focuses Matt' s fight against the corrupt system which he fights as Matt Murdoch attorney of law .The reason for Matt Murdoch's crime fighting spree is also well done .it's not about losing his father its more like even though he can't see a thing he hears them he hears everything which tortures him in a way . most importantly How successfully the show is incorporated in the unrealistic world of mcu which usually handles terrorism and alien attacks .
As much us this is an origin story for Dare-devil this is an origin story for kingpin/Wilson Fisk .Fisk is shown as an man who is as much is scarred as the hero . he actually killed his abusive father in a spur of the moment . he also thinks his fathers abusive spree is because of the city.so he thinks and plans to rebuild the city best way he finds is to change the city by removing the low class.Vincent D'Onofrio nailed it us Fisk even though his performance sometimes comes out us an fat-brat it really focuses on his tough back story which fits the story line very well.
The supporting casting is us brilliant us the main cast .Eldridge Henson us chubby quick witted Matt' s law side kick foggy nelson .Deborah an Woll shines in her part us Karen page a woman with a mysterious past who could be a future love interest for Matt Murdoch thank god they left most of it in season 1 .Rosario Dawson made an great impression in her brief role us Claire temple her relationship with Matt is well written luckily they didn't over-blow their relation with two much drama. i really like to see her come back for season 2 because she had a great chemistry with Charlie cox.i really liked Toby Leonard Moore's portrayal of Wesley Fisk's right hand man .Vondie Curtis halls Ben Ulrich is an absolute portrayal of the character,sad they decided to kill him in season one.the other major and well done characters to. Ayelet Zurer us Vanessa Mariana/Fisk ,Bob Grunton us Leland Owlsley.
The show has done well in other departments too. like it has right amount of well done vfx . One of the most major plus stunt direction and choreography .Every fight scenes are well executed . most notable is episode 2 hall way fight scene.
The bottom-line is for season 1 of this show their are some flaws but they are all forgivable and most of them could be corrected in season 2.One of the plus points are they are not setting up for other Netflix shows or any MCU movie's the show only focuses on dare devil yeah their might be some iron fist connection those scenes are not unnecessary they are very well connected to the story-line.For future i hope they evolve Fisk into more devious and cunning and make him out of his shell completely .
Daredevil: Rabbit in a Snowstorm (2015)
a beautiful view to Murdoch 's other life and a curtain raiser to a major player
synopsis:The Matt's and foggy is approached by a mysterious man who wants them to defend a murderer . Matt sensing some thing more to the client decides to takes the case to get closer to his adversary.
meanwhile Karen is reached buy her former employee to make a deal ,To put her union-allied past behind.
we where also introduced to aging but highly proficient Ben Ulrich a newspaper reporter who is on trail of a big story but shot down .
The man behind the curtain is finally revealed to the audience .
review These episode is inclined more to the story than the other two previous episodes it focuses more on lawyer Matt Murdoch .it also focuses on his ability to use his abilities to investigate especially in the court room scenes . It also shows Matt reaching near the man behind the curtain . i give this episode 9.7
Daredevil: Cut Man (2015)
A fantastic and brilliant second episode after a smashing pilot .....
the episode begins two days after where the previous episode left of ,Murdoch is still searching for the kidnapped boy learns bit a late that it's a bait for him .he gets beaten up and ends in a trash bin .where he is found by Clarie temple who ends up helping .now its up to Matt to protect himself and Clarie and too save the boy somehow .
This is the synopsis of the 2nd episode which begins in slow but intriguing fashion but ends with a major bang ,a true hardcore action movie fashion. A brilliant debut for Rosario Dawson's Claire temple .which is done in a more convincing way without over-blowing the scene with to much drama. one of the other plus i find about the series is the way they handle Matt's flashbacks The episode for me is a solid 10/10 .
