Reviews

Very well acted and well directed by a good cast and director who played the lead himself. This was a good movie with elements of comedy that genuinely got me laughing and more emotional moments that played well. The movie paced well, a nice departure from the horde of CGI heavy movies we have been getting recently.

Personally I think the movie was a bit of a disappointment after the hype. Let's begin with the positives however.

Positives

Bale put in a stellar performance as Gorr. I am glad his children convinced him to do this role. A villain with an actual legit motive. How about that ! However it does feel like he is a little wasted in the movie, and the usual decent performance from the cast. Portman is impeccable as Thor.

The vibrant visuals and the soundtrack killed it.

Negatives

The movie seemed so rushed and fast paced it feels a little messy and the plot just seems kind of weak. It does attempt to slow down and delve into the more emotional side of things between Thor and Jane.. But it is still at least much better than the pile of heap that was Eternals lol. A forgettable movie in my opinion that lives in the shadow of Thor Ragnarok.

Why is it that there is always a cliche unsupportive bf that thinks their partner is crazy in those movies ? Other than that, the movie is not bad. A few suspenseful tense parts that were quite well done. Maika Monroe is the leading light of the show. I feel the final third of the movie could have been executed better and the identity of the killer should't have been revealed so early to keep the audience guessing but overall an enjoyable movie.

Not sure why this was green-lit. The story is not interesting, the cast gives average performances and seem uninterested. The movie moves all too slowly and the final fight did not live up to expectations. Jokes felt forced, were cringy and unfunny. Hope Marvel Studios don't make something as bad as this again.

I personally quite enjoyed the movie, however on the whole it felt a bit rushed and could have benefitted with slightly more grounded character story telling. The action scenes are great and visually it is captivating but It feels like the movie was in such a rush to tell the story that it brushed over its own main characters, most notably Chavez, her acting was solid but it felt like she was more there as a plot device as supposed to a genuine character. The horror elements are great and the movie has clear traces of Raimi , I particularly enjoyed the horror elements. However Strange was massively nerfed in his own second outing and Wanda massively over powered which is so inconsistent of Marvel. The cameos ( while I enjoyed them ) were purely done for cameos sake and to get a reaction out of crowds. In the end it felt like the movie was trying to combine a lot together and it felt a little messy and the Wanda plot felt a little weak and felt like Dr Strange was slightly sidelined at times in his own movie. Although the movie was solid and the acting was fantastic, it felt like a step down following up from NWH and feels a lot more forgettable than Strange 1.

Movies based after video games usually flops, and especially based on such a solid game series that spanned over 4-5 games. This movie faced a monumental task. It does enough for fan service and mirrors Uncharted 4 and no doubt made better by the chemistry of TH and MW. I appreciate the movie doesn't skip over the backstory of the brothers, the mission did feel too easy and never got the feeling that Sully and Drake was under any danger and there are certainly some convenient plot holes. The movie is very fast and action paced from start to finish but overall I feel like it has done enough to make the video game fans happy.

Started off on interesting enough grounds. Was hoping this movie would make up for the so so 2nd and 3rd movies. Lost interest before halfway. Disappointing.

I found this movie heartwarming and the animation looks great coupled with good voice acting. While it is a fun movie to watch, it carries a deeper message of the importance of not judging people / things by their surface / looks and bond of good friendship.

I do find it a bit far fetched that the father would go to all that effort to catch those animals for his son to show him what an awesome he is when the son clearly wanted his father to let the animals go but a really enjoyable movie !!

This movie was very anti climatic after all that hype and build up. The start was promising. Pugh was awesome in her role but the movie seemed to focus as much on Yelena as it did Natasha, and it was supposed to be Black Widow's own movie. Frankly I found the movie a bit slow moving and tedious at times, the fight scenes were cool but nothing too spectacular. The Red Guardian and Task Master were totally wasted ! I looked forward to their fight but it was so anti climatic. Definitely one of MCU's weaker offerings, I left the cinema feeling this was just another filler for the phase and kind of feel like a bit of a waste of 2 hours. Off to rewatch a better MCU movie tonight.

A decent storyline with nice animation. Written by the same author who also wrote " The Giver ", "The Willoughbys " is drastically different. Filled with quirky and slightly weird children characters and interesting cat-rration throughout. I do like the message that the movie brings across - just because someone is blood - doesn't mean they are family. It has to be earned.

This game is quite good and it is actually quite fun to play. Currently I am about 60% through the game and I have done most of the challenges / just starting out on the Taskmaster challenges for challenge tokens.

Although there are many tokens to collect and they can be time consuming , it is fun to do so it doesn't feel like a chore. The fast forward option to speed up travels from one place to another is a great feature.

Gameplay > Smooth and the graphics are quite brilliant. The various fighting styles makes it fun to beat up the criminals. The swinging mechanics is fantastic.

Graphics > A lot of care / time / effort has been put into the graphics and it shows. NYC looks awesome both in day and night time and the city free roaming is brilliant. Serious effort has clearly been into the suits too.

Voice Acting > Another part of the game that deserves recognition. Completes what is already a solid game. Love the usual witty banter from Spidey. As can / should be expected.

Sound Effects / Music Score > They nailed it on this department !

Cons > Not much tbh. However I do feel the AI could have been better and the enemies could have been slightly tougher to fight against ( I am currently playing on the most advanced difficulty ). It can feel a little repetitive at times but not a major issue as the game is fun to play.

Overall , I love this game and Insomniac Games can be very proud of having done Spidey justice. I have been waiting for a solid and updated Spidey game for a long time and IG delivered. Thank you

Who thought it was a good idea to make this ? The Idea of combining cat and human with CGI is terrible and all those cat humans looks like an adult's stuff of nightmares. Never mind for children

First things first. I actually throughly enjoyed the previous Jumanji in 2017. That was funny with some great acting and felt fresh as a concept. I watched TNL yesterday and let's begin with the negative things :

Negatives :

* Characters trying to explain the whole Jumanji thing again was like urgh. Already saw it in the last movie.

* The fact that this sequel was built on the grounds of whims of a teenager being insecure.

* Some of the acting was very cringe worthy and the jokes not funny. The movie tried too hard to be funny.

Positives

* It was especially great to see KH playing a different type of character. Not something that we have seen very often.

* Good CGI but that's about it.

After his good performances in the MCU, I was interested to see how PR would do in this TV series. He played 2 versions of Miles and he absolutely nailed both versions brilliantly. From a broody pessimistic Miles to a upbeat Miles. Good performances from other supporting actors / actresses on the show but for me PR carried it. Very likeable actor who really showed his depth and range of acting in this quick series. The episodes were easy to get through and so easy to binge !!!

Didn't think the acting was too bad but the movie itself was just wow. Wow in terms of being absolutely horrendous ! I did not have a care at all for those rich only care about money / status and how people thought about them characters in the movie ! And especially the middle part with all that mother disapproval plot was just so painful to watch. It was all I can do to do not walk out ! The characters are bland and does not make you care about them ! If I wanted to watch rich soulless people go at each other I can just watch real life ! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME with this non-sense! Words can't describe how terrible this movie was !
