House of the Dragon (2022– )

House of the Dragon - Weekly Show Review

[8/10 · 21 August 2022]

Game of Thrones is easily one of the best shows of all time. The final season left many fans disappointed, and some people took the hate of the eighth season and said the entire show was bad. I was definitely one of the people that really disliked the final season, but this... this does put a smile on my face.

EPISODE ONE: House of the Dragon is awesome, in story, emotions and it feels like Game of Thrones, the high quality, fantasy-epic show we love. The performances are outstanding, the story is great.. and the Dragons look AMAZING! The CGI-work done in this show is SO GOOD! The first episode does a great job in setting up the rest of the show. It showcases the history in a rich manner, and I can't wait for the rest of this show.

This time, it feels like Game of Thrones is back, and not like Season Eight, like the REAL Game of Thrones we know and LOVE!

EPISODE TWO: The second episode of House of the Dragon is here. It's called the Rogue Prince, and it's awesome! The first episode I felt was a perfect pilot and a great comeback to this Universe because though the eighth episode wasn't all that great, the Universe still is. The second episode gives the characters more development. This video will be Non-Spoiler. And I loved the entire bridge sequence in this episode. It's so great! Overall, just, this show's going to turn out to be great, and I recently found out the second season has been greenlit. This episode- spot-on. A Great continuation of the first episode's story. I can't wait for Season Two, and the rest of this season and beyond!

The Godfather (1972)

Overatted, But Amazing

[9/10 · 18 August 2022]

This movie has been regarded as the best movie of all time, and I watched it for the first time a couple weeks back. I must admit, it is AMAZING AND DESERVES THE LOVE, but it isn't my My Favourite Movie Ever or anything. I don't even think it cracks my Top Ten, but that's not saying it's not a cultural phenomenon.

8.5/10.

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (2022)

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law- Weekly Review

[8/10 · 18 August 2022]

The newest MCU Disney+ Show is here: She-Hulk: Attorney at Law is now out, so I'll be doing a review for every episode every week. Starting with today's episode: Episode One:

EPISODE ONE: I absolutely LOVED this episode. It was so fun and hyperactive and all the jokes landed for me. It made me laugh out loud countless times, and it was just a lot of fun! I really loved Jennifer Walters and Bruce Banner's banter and their interactions, as they are just so funny. Tatiana Maslany, who plays Jennifer does a great job bring the charm and charisma of the character from the comics into the MCU. And that Post-Credits Scene was HILARIOUS. Okay, now SPOILERS: I loved the fight Hulk and She-Hulk had, it was sort of long and very enjoyable. The ending with Titania showing up for a quick brawl with She-Hulk was pretty fun, but the Post-Credits Scene, which wasn't anything huge or mind-boggling, but it sure was hilarious confirming that Steve Rogers was not a Virgin... didn't ask for the answer LOL! Overall, a really good start to the series.

EPISODE TWO: This episode was pretty good. We get a couple great jokes here are there, one of which made me laugh my a$$ off, and we'll get to it in just a moment. The episode introduced the show to Emil Blonsky, and we get a shot of Bruce in a SPACESHIP while calling Jennifer, who is possibly setting up something big in the future, maybe even Planet Hulk and World War Hulk. We get a nicely placed joke where Bruce tells Jennifer his fight was Abomination was years ago,, and now he's a completely different man, and Jennifer does a solid "Ha" to the audience, as well, Mark Ruffalo plays the character now, and Ed Norton played him in 2008. We end the episode off with a news report showing the Abomination fight from Shang-Chi, and a Post-Credits Scene that wasn't nearly as funny as the first episode's.

EPISODE THREE: This episode was good. We get a load of the testimonies, one with Tim Roth's Emil Blonsky and the other one where the audience is introduced to an Asgardian Elf, but the part that made this episode so surprising was Megan Thee Stallion being an important part of the episode. I mean, the person herself is there for one cameo in the episode and a very weird Post-Credits Scene, but the name is important in the story. We get a scene where She-Hulk fights against a bunch of people with Asgardian Weapons. Overall, it was pretty weak, but still had some really good elements to it.

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (2022)

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law- Weekly Reviews

[8/10 · 18 August 2022]

I just finished the first four episodes of She-Hulk, given to me by Disney and Marvel, but I will be doing Weekly Spoiler Reviews on all the episodes rather than my Non-Spoiler Thoughts on the first four.

EPISODE ONE: I LOVE this episode so much. I know it's only thirty minutes long, but it packs so much comedy, which unlike ahem.. Thor: Love and Thunder.. actually all lands and is hilarious! Tatiana Maslany as Jennifer Walters is a match made in heaven as she brings so much charm and charisma to the character and the show. Hulk is a lot of fun, and their banter is... everything. We get a pretty long fight scene between Hulk and She-Hulk, and that was just awesome to see! We end the episode off with a villain known as Titania entering the lawyer room, and Jennifer Hulking Out.

The Post-Credits Scene got me in damn tears.... "Captain America Fu...."

I Am Groot (2022– )

The Cutest MCU Project Ever

[7/10 · 10 August 2022]

I just finished watching all Five Episodes of Marvel Studios' I Am Groot and they were engaging, fun and adorable. The show is nothing great and yiu can't really compare it to the other big MCU Projects because it's just Baby Groot being Baby Groot. In one episode, he takes a bath and has a spa day, and in another he attempts to paint a portrait of the Guardians. It's a lot of fun, and isn't anything extra.

It keeps you engaged and sort of excited for the next episode while not doing anything crazy. It's small scale, it's so cute, and the episodes are wholesome and very short. The episodes are five minutes, and the credits themselves are two minutes. Overall, the episodes are bite-sized, being three-four minutes long each.

7/10, but remember: This isn't huge or crazy, I enjoyed it for what it was.

Homeward (II) (2020)

One of the Worst Movies Ever Made

[1/10 · 7 August 2022]

Onward is a really great movie, with an emotional storyline and strong characters. Then there's this garbage called Homeward, which is one of the worst movies ever made.

Sometimes, when I'm bored, I watch bad movies just to laugh at them, so I watched this.

The animation: Horrific The characters- Ugly AF The story- Ripoff The Movie- 0.1/10 It made me laugh with its stupidy.

Prey (I) (2022)

After all the Predator Sequels, Finally a Good One

[8/10 · 6 August 2022]

Yesterday, I watched the Predator Prequel Film: Prey and with Prey, we follow a 1700's hunting story with the Predator Formula thrown in, and it works surprisingly well! The Predator Sequels after the original film haven't been that good, so this film was a pleasant return to the franchise. The story is simplistic and at the same time, full of story, emotion and depth. The film doesn't have to carry the weight of story from the previous Predator Movies, so it does its own thing, and it works perfectly.

The type of movie that's being shown is a Hunting Story with Tribes and the Predator in the shadows as this Monster figure. The film has a ominous tone to it, that gets you excited and at the edge of your seat.

8/10.

Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie (2022)

This Surprised Me So Much

[8/10 · 6 August 2022]

Yesterday, I checked out Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie and loved it more than I expected! As a point of reference, I've had fun with the show, but it isn't really great, so going in, I was expecting a fun but forgettable Netflix Film.... I WAS WRONG! This movie is amazing, and chock full of heart, emotion and action-packed scenes! The animation fits perfectly with the flashy, hyperactive type of film they are going for, and there are some really tear-jerking scenes in the movie, which I will not spoil.

The action is flashy, crazy and great. All the characters have their moments, especially Leonardo, who gets some really powerful scenes, and if anyone is wondering: You do not need to watch the TV Show to understand the story of this film. A rare gem in animated movies based on shows that ended years ago. It expands the Universe, while also being its own standalone superhero film.

8/10.

Bullet Train (2022)

Fun and Hyperactive

[7/10 · 4 August 2022]

I got out of Bullet Train a couple minutes ago, and overall: it's a fun, hyperactive and action-packed movie! It's not crazy or unforgettable, but it is definitely not bad. The action is solid, but the one that that really surprised me was that Brad Pitt isn't in the film as much as you'd think he'd be. The action is great and awesome to watch when it does happen.

Overall, it's not a film I could go more in depth with, as it's just a fun, enjoyable, funny and hyperactive film. It flashes in your eyes, and it moves at a very fast pace.

It's a really great Popcorn Flick to watch when you're with your friends and want to go to theatres to see something funny, fast-paced and action-packed!

7/10.

DC League of Super-Pets (2022)

Superpets Review: Such a Surprise

[7/10 · 29 July 2022]

Now, I was not going to check this film out. I mean, the trailers weren't bad, but I felt as if it was just going to be a Poop-Fart Joke filled movie. The Positive Reception that came with the Early Reviews was so surprising that it got me to buy a ticket. I came home a couple hours ago, and it wasn't groundbreaking or anything, but it was a nice, heartfelt fun time at the movies.

This movie is cute, action-packed, heartfelt and... emotional. All the characters were fun and likeable, specifically Krypto and Ace, Batman's Dog. The movie gave Ace a backstory that was very touching and it hits you in the feels, which I was definitely NOT expecting. The animation looks pretty good on the Big Screen, but isn't anything crazy. I found it WAY better than what I expected. To be fair, yes, it did have Poop, Fart and Pee Jokes, but I think the heartfelt, emotional nature of the movie overshadowed the jokes.

If you own a Dog, or any Pet and are a DC Fan, I recommend checking the film out because it's a nice, fun time and a good way to spend an Hour and a half. Enjoyable, fun and heartfelt: I would give DC: League of Super-Pets a 7/10 (For reference, I gave Minions 2 a 6 and Lightyear an 8)

Nope (2022)

A Pure Spectacle: Jordan Peele's Nope Review

[8/10 · 21 July 2022]

Jordan Peele is a Legendary Director when you're talking about weird mysterious horror flicks. Get Out is amazing, and Us is good enough. Nope was very careful in not revealing anything in its first few pieces of Promo, but we started getting some more information with the newer Trailers.

The movie is a pure spectacle, which is a word being tossed around a whole lot in reviews for this film. It looks beautiful, and I really recommend seeing it on the Biggest Screen Possible, so you can get the experience. All the characters are likeable and fun to interact with, with Keke Palmer and Daniel Kaluuya being the standouts. Their brother-sister bond and banter is what ties a lot of this film together, and all the Supernatural Sci-Fi elements in the movie are amazing, and those combined with the breathtaking visuals make this film one that pops when looking at the year's best movies. And there are a lot of good scares and frightening scenes in this film too, so overall, a VERY enjoyable and great movie from Jordan Peele. Definitely on the level of Get Out, and if I see the movie for a second time, I might favour Nope over Get Out. 8.5/10 right now. Subject to change after rewatch.

Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)

Thor: Love and Thunder Review: Fun, Vibrant and Emotional

[7/10 · 8 July 2022]

Thor: Love and Thunder is a heck ton of fun, and very vibrant in colour! It is so awesome with a lot of what it does. BUT- I do think Ragnarok is still better, though this movie is amazing too! Taika Watiti is a Legend, as he directs this movie perfectly and what is does with Jane Foster and Gorr The God Butcher is a huge feat. Christian Bale is perfection in the role of Gorr, and Taika Watiti finds a way to turn Jane from bland and boring to a very awesome, likeable character. And I don't think this is a Spoiler, as it's been revealed before: Jane has cancer in this movie, and what the film does with it is very great and full of emotion. Chris Hemsworth as THOR IS JUST AMAZING!! Most of the jokes land, though there are some moments that didn't hit with the audience. Overall.. a very fun time at the movies, and I can't wait for what's next for Thor!

And also, did I mention: The Post-Credits Scenes are worth staying for!

Minions: The Rise of Gru (2022)

The Minions Have Returned

[6/10 · 30 June 2022]

As I am writing this, I am in my car after watching Minions: The Rise of Gru, and to my surprise: It was fun, and enjoyable. The first Minions Movie... is really not for me. The butt jokes are just cheap and lazy, but this movie upped the antics of the three lead Minions, and it was actually played out cleverly and made me laugh a couple times. And Gru... well.. he's pretty enjoyable in the main character role, and he has some really great scenes in the film. I am pleasantly surprised by this film

6/10.

The Black Phone (2021)

This Movie was Awesome!

[7/10 · 28 June 2022]

I saw The Black Phone a couple days ago, and it was so much better than I expected! The scares in this film are so awesome, and Ethan Hawke as 'The Grabber' is perfect! The plot of the movie is pretty much: A 13-Year-Old kid gets kidnapped by this scary, mysterious figure known as The Grabber. The kid finds a old Black Phone on the wall, and can now talk to the older victims of The Grabber to find out how to get out of the basement he's trapped in.

GENERAL THOUGHTS: It gets you at the edge of your seat countless times, and it is directed on point by Scott Derrickson (Director of Doctor Strange). The acting in this film were so good, and I loved the brother-sister relationship Finney and Gwen had. It was great! I'm going to keep this review short and sweet. The Black Phone is so worth going to the theaters for! Scares, check, phenomenal acting, check, it marks all the boxes to have a great time at the movies!

7/10.

Lightyear (2022)

Disney and Pixar's Lightyear- Movie Review

[8/10 · 17 June 2022]

GENERAL THOUGHTS: This Movie was GREAT! The whole idea of Andy seeing a movie that basically set up the Toy Story Movies and this was that movie was so creative and great to me, and I was so excited to see Pixar delve in Sci-Fi, so I feared my expectations were way through the roof, but no... they were just right, because this movie was just as compelling as I wanted it to be.

GOOD: We learn more about the character of Buzz Lightyear, the human version and what his strengths and weaknesses are, and Chris Evans does a fabulous job as Buzz. The new characters for this film were funny, and great, but the one that stood out the most was Sox The Cat. My god, did he make my audience explode in laughter almost every time he said a word. The action was animated beautifully, and I really recommend seeing Lightyear in IMAX or 3-D because all the ship-flying and space action really needs that immersive feeling. And, as this is a Pixar Movie... you gotta bring in the emotions and sadness, and boy does this movie bring that on!! There is one scene in particular involving a hologram which made me tear up. And I know a lot of people aren't crazy about the plot twist that happened with Zurg, our main villain, but I LOVED that Plot Twist. I think it gave Buzz a more compelling and emotional arc, and gave some great character development that could've only happened that way.

BAD: The big thing that comes to mind is the fact that the suits were sort of weird the way they were used in the movie. You know that big red button on Buzz's suit in Toy Story... well... that was used as a Cheap Gimmick to "Surrender". That's the only thing that bothered me about the movie.

8.5/10.

Stranger Things (2016–2025)

Stranger Things 4: Volume One and Two Review (And Show in General)

[9/10 · 15 June 2022]

GENERAL THOUGHTS ON THE SHOW: This show is just amazing in every way possible. The way it combines the 80's and Horror without being cheesy is just groundbreaking on its own.. but it has likeable characters, such as Eleven, Steve, Mike, Dustin, Robin, etc. And also delves into trauma and The Upside Down is a very creative way to show us a backwards Dimension of our own. It's fun, sad, heartbreaking, tragic, happy, joyful, scary, horrific and everything else.

VOLUME ONE OF S4: The Darkest, Goriest Season to date became my personal favourite season. It explores every single one of our characters and what they are going through after the events of Season Three. The Scenes with Hopper in the Russian Prison are heart-shattering and there is one conversation he has with a character in the Season that will melt your heart. And we explore the past and trauma of Eleven in flashback scenes that are so brutal, and Vecna.. the villain.... oh my gosh! Easily the best villain we've gotten in Stranger Things so far. He is intense, malicious, evil and at the same time... human. You feel his emotions and the twist that happens with the character in the Season is shocking, though it makes sense. We see all of our characters split up, and though a lot of people didn't like that... I really enjoyed it. Cutting back to every one of the storylines through the movie-length episodes was always great! The deaths are gruesome, the characters are great... this Season was a total win for Netflix and fans of ST. Can't wait for the final two episodes in July!

VOLUME TWO OF S4: This is perfection from Start to Finish. Thrilling, gory, exciting, and emotional. I will not drop any Spoilers here.. but there is a scene with a character that dies that breaks you from the Inside Out. All the storylines mash together and it's just an amazing time! This is the best TV has been for a long time. That's all I can manage to say right now... holy moley.

Jurassic World Dominion (2022)

Jurassic World: Dominion - Movie Review

[6/10 · 10 June 2022]

Jurassic World: Dominion is a messy, but fun movie. Seeing the old and new cast and characters interact was just awesome, but the many plotpoints get overwhelming at times, and make it hard to follow along with the story. The dinosaurs don't really get the spotlight, as the movie has a Political Theme going on with life living with the Dinosaurs. The size and scope is the biggest we've ever gotten from a Jurassic Movie, spanning to different continents and locations, which makes for some fun scenes with Dinosaur Chases and Dinosaur. Overall, not what I had in mind to be the epic conclusion to the saga, but still enjoyable. So, as the tagline for this review I have to call it fun but really flawed. It didn't bore me in any way, and I was still able to enjoy the movie and have fun with it.. but it had a HECK TON of Problems.

Ms. Marvel (2022)

Marvel Studios' Ms. Marvel- Disney+ Show Review

[8/10 · 8 June 2022]

GENERAL THOUGHTS: Ms. Marvel is a really fun addition to the MCU, and the show is REALLY creative in how it handles stuff like texts, and drawings because they all move and have a distinct quality to them. All the characters are fun and likeable, and the lead character: Kamala Khan is a relatable teen who loves The Avengers and the first episode is all about her and her best friend: Bruno trying to get to AvengersCon without being noticed by her parents. The entire episode is fast-paced with humour and wit, BUT- EPISODE ONE: BUT the episode lacks the action we've grown to love the MCU for, and the scene where Kamala uses her powers for the first time at AvengersCon.. the. CGI looks a bit weird and off. But overall, the episode was really good. It was enjoyable and relatable, as we're all like Kamala Khan, big fans of the MCU, but she got powers and we didn't.... EPISODE TWO: The Second Episode is GREAT! It's a heck ton of fun and we get more of Kamala's Family, which is one of the best parts of the show right now, and more information about the bracelets and the power Kamala has. We get one awesome scene with Ms. Marvel trying to save a kid from falling to his death, and we do get some nice scenes there. The CGI improved from last episode and the weird glowing powers get explored more and they actually look really good. Overall, the better episode so far, and can't wait to see what comes next.

EPISODE TWO: This episode was a heck ton of fun! We see more of an exploration into Kamala's Powers, and get more of her family dynamics, which are one of the best and strongest parts of the show thus far. We also get introduced to a looming mystery about Kamala's Grandmother.. I think it was.. and what the mystical bracelets do. My favourite scene had to be when a kid was hanging out of a huge tall temple, about to fall, and Kamala tried saving him. The CGI on the Powers looks better now, and overall... I'm really excited to see the rest of the series and maybe get introduced to a villain.

EPISODE THREE: Man... this one was the best episode to date. Granted, there are only two other episodes, but this is the best one. We learn about what Kamala is, and we get a heck ton of information about the Bangle that's been giving Kamala powers. And we finally get introduced to the villain, who is pretty ruthless, as she was about to kill a Teenager because she wanted to go home. The dancing scene at the Wedding was pretty enjoyable and fun... but when it gets to the action.... it goes all out. The fight lasts a good amount of time, and at the end we see Nakia find out that Kamala is 'Night-Light'. I'm so excited for the rest of this show!

EPISODE FOUR: Holy moley.... this episode upped everything to an eleven! We start the episode off with Kamala and her mother on a plane, and travelling to Karachi after the phone call with Kamala's grandmother last episode. After a couple minutes, Kamala goes off to the train station, and that's where everything starts picking up! THE FIGHTS AND ACTION WE GET IN THIS EPISODE ARE SOME OF THE BEST IN ALL OF THE MCU'S DISNEY+ SHOWS! We get this huge Truck and Car chase that happens, and it goes ballistic! And if you thought this show is just for 'little kids', we get a character death in this episode. We get some explanations to the Djinn and we get introduced to Red Dagger, a mantle that has been passed to a new person, and though I enjoyed the action scenes he had, he just feels like another character for Kamala to have a crush on. We already have Kamran and Bruno, who isn't present in this episode at all. Overall, a solid episode, and I can't wait for the final two!

EPISODE FIVE: This episode was the one with the most exposition to set up the final episode, so it spent the first 20 Minutes showing us Aisha's family life and it was very touching and great, but I wasn't a huge fan of when Kamala showed up to save Salem, though I know it had to happen for the course of the story. But the thing that's really bothering me is that Kamala is going to get her suit in the FINAL episode... which is sorta strange. Let's talk about Kamran getting powers, which was pretty cool to see, and when he used them against one of Mysterio's drones, it was awesome! Even if it's for two minutes, seeing Bruno and Kamran hang out was fun, and BROOOO.. THEY BLEW UP CIRCLE Q! I cannot wait for the finale next week!

FINALE: This episode is amazing! Marvel has broken out of the 'rushed finale' streak with Ms. Marvel, because this was an awesome episode! Kamala finally gets her suit, and it looks gorgeous on screen, and the whole Damage Control bit in the High School was so fun, and action-packed. I just love the banter of all the kids to each other, and Kamran was a standout in this episode. The final battle showed a fight between Kamala, Kamran and Damage Control, and though there was a little too much CGI in these scenes, they were still visually-appealing to watch, and the fight itself was very good with emotional tie-ins from the rest of the show. We end off the episode with Kamala getting a superhero name for herself: Ms. Marvel, and THEN... WE GET THE SCENE THAT KILLED ME! Bruno tells Kamala that she has... (Drumroll) A MUTATION IN HER GENES! MARVEL HAS REVEALED THE MUTANTS ARE IN THE MCU! And then we get the X-Men: The Animated Series MUSIC play in the BACKGROUND! WOOOOO-HOOOO! Did not expect that, and the Post-Credits Scene shows Kamala's Bangle transporting her away, and Carol FRICKIN Danvers shows up in Kamala's bedroom, and Kamala got transported to wherever Captain Marvel was. An Amazing, Surprising, Action-Packed episode... WOW!

Can't wait to see Ms. Marvel return to the MCU in 'The Marvels' next year.

Obi-Wan Kenobi (2022)

Obi-Wan Kenobi- Show Review

[7/10 · 29 May 2022]

The Long-Awaited Obi-Wan Kenobi show is now out on Disney+ and its getting VERY Mixed Reviews! As for me, it's a pretty enjoyable show. I really enjoy the whole Leia storyline in the first two episodes, and just seeing Ewan McGregor portray Kenobi again is a win, as he does a wonderful job in the show. BUT it did NOT live up to the Hype I had for it, as it had some characters and roles that I felt didn't really match with the world of Star Wars, and the chase scenes were sort of sloppy, though they were still very fun to watch on screen! The first episode is a bit slow in the pacing and setting up the story, but when it gets to Episode 2, it is so AWESOME in the action scenes and fights! I loved seeing Kenobi fight, even if it wasn't for very long. Some fights felt a little forced and rushed. But overall, Obi-Wan Kenobi is a enjoyable show, but not what I was expecting though I am really looking forward to Episode 3 and Beyond. One reason I am is to see Darth Vader fighting with Kenobi. The end of Episode 2 showed us the reaction of Kenobi finding out Anakin was alive, and then we get a shot of Anakin!

EPISODE THREE REVIEW: Holy Moley... this episode was AMAZING! Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi's fight is enough to boost this one up beyond the other episodes, but the story develops and turns into the show that we want. But I do have to say, Reva is sort of emotionless. All her goal and motivation is is to capture Kenobi. Like, we get no backstory or any personality from her, but just seeing Vader back in the Star Wars Universe was SO GREAT.. and the fight... Oh My God, is that fight LOOKIN AMAZING! We end off the episode with Reva reaching Leia, which gets me intrigued for the next episode, which if it's as good as this one: This show could be one of the best Star Wars Add-Ons of the New Era.

EPISODE FOUR: This episode was GREAT! It had a dark start with Kenobi healing from what happened in last week's episode and we also saw the heartbreaking reaction from Leia when she found out Kenobi was dead.. which of course he wasn't. For me, the episode was like a Break-In Thriller as many characters were attempting to break into Reva's secret base and save Leia. It was really good in my opinion, though there are some Negatives, and the biggest one for this episode, and the show, is that Obi-Wan feels underrated in his own show. The lead character feels like Reva, who's pretty emotionless, though as a villain she can be so cruel, as in this episode she was about to kill the Ten-Year Old Leia for some information. Overall, I wish the last two episodes focus more on Kenobi. The ending with Darth Vader was pretty great... just because it's Vader... who doesn't like seeing Vader. And the actual ending ENDING with Leia and Kenobi on the ship was pretty wholesome. All in all, a great episode and I can't wait for the final two.

EPISODE FIVE: One of the best setup episodes in Star Wars TV, and what it does with all the characters, giving them all spotlight and time to shine, it's really great. When I rewatched Last Week's Episode.... it wasn't nearly as good as I described it to be, but this episode I've seen twice now.. and it's great! We also get a complete character study for Reva, who I didn't find to be a good character but this episode really did give her emotion and depth and the fight she had with Vader with the Lightsabers was intense... and awesome! I seriously CANNOT WAIT for the Final Episode NEXT WEEK!

FINALE: Almost perfect. This episode tugs at the heartstrings many times, and the huge fight in this is Darth Vader vs Obi-Wan Kenobi... and that FRICKING DUEL WAS SO GOOD! The way the Lighthsabers flash, and how they are just so fed up and angry. And also... the scene with Kenobi and the rocks, and how he gets himself out of the rubble by thinking of Leia... OH MY LORD... THAT WAS AWESOME! Though it was a bit short, it was impactful and it ended the streak of Disney+ Shows having a rushed finale, because nothing about this felt rushed to me. The scenes with Owen and Luke were pretty good, and Reva's character had a nice payoff.

The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run (2020)

Oh.. Spongebob.. what happened here?

[4/10 · 23 May 2022]

So, I saw The Spongebob Movie: Sponge on the Run back in 2020, and when I walked out, I was happy. I found out it was because I was seeing a movie in cinemas in 2020 finally, and when I rewatched it on Paramount+ today... my god... is this just bad! I'm a huge Spongebob Fan, and this is just repeating the many episodes we've had about Gary being Snail-Napped. The story is just boring, and I didn't like the inclusion of King Poseidon AT ALL! The plot is all over the place and I really didn't enjoy it. Though the Animation looks pretty good, the way the movie tries setting up a Spinoff is just annoying and stupid! I have only seen one episode of Kamp Koral, the spinoff that was set up in the movie, and I didn't care for any more of the show because it was boring, just like the majority of this movie.

I don't think this is worth ranting about like this, so just... 4/10.

Top Gun: Maverick (2022)

Just walked out of Top Gun: Maverick

[9/10 · 23 May 2022]

I just walked out of seeing Top Gun: Maverick, and this movie... is AMAZING! This might be one of the sequels ever made. The visuals, the story, the characters, everything about this movie is a plus! THERE ARE NO NEGATIVES! It does everything right, while being an amazing, airplane pilot story! Tom Cruise gives it his all in the movie, and you can see that being expressed! Maverick is a compelling character with motivations and character development, and it's a perfection arc. The film does a very well job at pacing its story, and not rushing anything while being hella entertaining!

It does a good job at everything, and balances everything super nicely. I'm still unpacking everything I just saw, and am seeing it again this Wednesday, I might edit this review and add more Positives, or even some Negatives! But, as for my Out of the Theatre Review, this movie is a huge win in my book and I found it to be way superior over the first movie, doing everything right!

SECOND VIEWING: Perfection. Tom Cruise is perfection. The visuals are perfection. The sound quality is perfection. This movie deserves all the success it's getting. Get Maverick to a Billion at the Box Office

Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers (2022)

One of the Best of the Year

[8/10 · 20 May 2022]

Just saw Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers, and it was amazing, hilarious, action-packed and easily one of the best movies of the year! The banter between Chip and Dale is so quirky, funny and really awesome! We see some huge Easter Eggs in the movie, and you need to pause and just look at everything in the background to catch everything. I don't want to Spoil Anything, but my god, there is so much to laugh at. There are some great emotions in the movie too, whether you're talking about the friendship and love the two lead chipmunks have for each other, or just simply the nostalgia from the Original Series. It is so creative in what it does and it molds the Original Series from the 80's into a movie that these two actors did.

Overall, I LOVED the heck out of this movie, and if you're either a Chip 'n Dale fan or simply a Disney Fan, you will love the heck out of the movie too. Though I would've loved to see the film in theatres, it's a movie that you need to pause and laugh and see everything in the background, and you can't do that in a cinema setting. 8/10.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

WOW- Multiverse of Madness is...

[9/10 · 6 May 2022]

GENERAL THOUGHTS: Last Night, I saw Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and my god- Sam Raimi can really direct a horror film, even if the rating is still PG-13! But, do not let that rating fool you, it has some really intense, violent and gruesome scenes that made the experience so much better! And just to let you know, this film is NOT a Cameo After Cameo Movie, but the surprises it does have, are enough for me, as it spent the other amount of time building the story, BUT I wish the film was longer! It was really short to take all this Madness in, and maybe could've sprinkled in a few more Universes if the runtime let it. The Overall story is simple and easy to follow, and that title suits the movie really perfectly, as it is MADNESS! It's probably one of the darkest Comic-Book-Movies of all time, and the visuals are stunning! It's a little messy when it gets into the whole Multiverse thing in the middle, but it has such creative ideas and scenes, that makes it so damn entertaining!

ACTING: Benedict Cumberbatch as Strange was amazing, and just seeing his character shine in his own solo movie again is great, and in my opinion, Wanda wasn't taking any spotlight away from Strange! Xochitil Gomez as America Chavez was such a awesome addition to the story! Her character is what pretty much the entire movie revolves around, and I loved her personality and energy throughout the movie, and her character was emotional when it needed to be, but now, LET'S GET TO ELIZABETH OLSEN AS THE SCARLET WITCH! My God, she is a true villain in the movie! The performance she has is just.. WOW. And the supporting characters, like Wong and Mordo were great too!

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2022)

Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent- Review

[7/10 · 2 May 2022]

Out of the three movies I saw last week (The Bad Guys, The Northman, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent), this film is probably the best one. It is so fun, and just seeing Nick Cage as himself is just refreshing, and great! The Sense of Humour that plays in the film is just laugh-out-loud easily, and made my audience explode in laughter many times over the runtime! It's boosted with a high dose of energy, and it's so fast-paced!

There is not a single bad/cringe moment in the entire movie, which was NOT what I expecting going into a film of this type! It surprised me a WHOLE lot, and I wanted more when it ended. It has some great jokes about Nick Cage's career throughout the film that made me love the film even more! It's going to crack you up 100%! Even if you aren't a Die-Hard Fan of the movies Nick makes, this film is still for you!

WOW! This.. is SURPRISING!!

The Northman (2022)

The Northman- Where Do I Begin?

[7/10 · 2 May 2022]

A Couple Days ago, I ended up seeing The Northman, and.......... it was good. Now, Robert Eggers has directed some amazing films, like The Lighthouse, and the Witch, so I had pretty high hopes for this. I went in, and it was different than what I expected, but it was pretty good.

My God, Eggers crafted this movie with such a huge size and scope, and it gets stronger and bigger as it goes along through its runtime. Its has breathtaking visuals and the plot is just a Good Ol' Viking Storyline, so you can't go wrong with it, it's great! The characters are developed perfectly, and the film gives some depth and meaning. And it's BRUTAL!! There are some absolute ruthless, brutal scenes in the film, and it is.. AWESOME!! The epic size of the grand film is enough to make it a movie that is worth seeing on the big screen! It does have some scenes that could've been shortened down, but overall, I enjoyed it for what it was. It did have some scenes that people might consider "boring", but when it gets to the action, it doesn't stop for a LONG Time!

The Brutal Epic is a 7.5/10 in my book.
