The Batman (2022)
Tale of a city
Gotham is broken,corrupt and in need of change. Enters batman. He tryes to change things but with all his tech and intimidation he struggles to make a real difference. Enters the Riddler. He has his own form of justice and thinks the only way to change things is to break everything down ( the whole system). The film asks the question what is the best way to move forward.is it possible to inspire hope even in the worst of times?
The film captures the soul of Gotham ( or lack thereof) perfectly. Immerses the viewers and answers these questions in a brilliant manner which is both fresh and beautiful. The essence of the film was perfectly captured in the scene where batman offers his hand to help the Gotham people who don't trust him. When the adults are reluctant, it's the kid who lost his father ( a corrupt politician) first takes his hand and comes out of the mess. Then one by one the adults follow, where the batman leads them from darkness into the light.
Batman is not the light but he's the bridge between darkness and light. It was poetic and beautiful. Ultimately that s what the movie is about. It's not a full on thrill ride. But rather a deeply philosophical one.
Master (2021)
Vijay has experimented a bit and boy oh boy it has work!!ed
First of all it was refreshing to see vijay try something different. The movie has mass eliments , emotions and little bit of over the top action. But there's a Very unique element to it all even Vijay looks a totally different person embodying the character. I didn't like any of the Atlee movies. Sure they were entertaining in patches but were not great at all.master on the other hand might not be celebrated as those movies but in time fans will appreciate it. The harsh realities it showcases about the lives of under age people in the crime, how they are exploited, the things and people who influence their lives are depicted well and are things to take note of . Overall it was a great watch many might not like it and it's not perfect but in time it'll get the recognition it deserves. And one more thing Vijay sethubathi was fantastic!!!
Kingdom (2019)
A kingdom about to be taken over by Zombies
This is a phenomenal show. I was bored and was looking for a show to hook into when i found this and boy isn't this a fun show. Although it is a zombie show it has more to it, from character arcs to politics to action to emotions it has everything, hell! it's even funny at times, the production is top notch, acting is even better, directing drives the story at the right pace, i would definitely recommend this, can't wait for the second season
John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (2019)
Action at its best
After watching this movie i was wondering why the hell the Oscars doesn't appreciate action choreography, people simply put their life at risk and are not appropriated. But that a side this is one of the best action movies of the past two decades and it almost touches the hights of Raid. As an action lover that is the best possible complement i can think of. The movie starts with a breathtaking knife fight the scene perfectly describes what this movies are about and the standard it sets. Simply put had a blas
K.G.F: Chapter 1 (2018)
A Dark gritty yet an entertaining tale
I saw the trailer and thought this will be a typical over the top commercial film we see come out all the time, however after watching I have to say that I am impressed. There's this uniqueness about the movie, and the pace at which it plays. The constant BGM score Which accompanies every scene elevates the pace and keeps us at the edge of our seats , this is not a cheap trick to hide the inadequacies of the script. There aren't any lengthy conversations between characters most of the time it's about action. It touches the right balance when it comes to sentiment as well,and oh Yash is amazing
Counterpart (2017)
A brilliant and unique series
I have heard lot of people say that it's a slow burn, not for me it has the right pace strikes the right balance between sci fy, drama and action. Every twist is unexpected, the shows concept and setting makes it unpredictable as well which is a good thing. There's not a single character which is not relevant to the plot, even after watching ep 4 of season 2 it is Not clear as to what the end game would be, sometimes it feels like a puzzle each episode gives the audience a piece to solve it. Hence it elevates the fans from being merely an audience, i highly recommend this one
Aquaman (2018)
An Action packed entertaining swim
DC movies have disappointed me so far. the justice League movies even wonder women weren't that exciting, and despite its flaws james wans aquaman is one fun ride. It's a beautiful movie ( I mean literally) the cinamatography is fantastic , beautifully shot background score is good and the action scenes are really well made. james wan as always brings something new to the action scenes interesting camera moves and angles, the only flaw is that the emotional aspect is a hit or miss at times and felt a bit rushed, Early scenes does not give an emotional connection to the love of aquaman s parents and the love between aquaman and meera also seems a bit rushed, but those are the minor flaws.jason mamoa is great as aquaman, overall a decent movie and a real fun time in this festive season
Venom (2018)
Apart from tom hardy everything else fails
I'm a big fan of tom hardy so i was very excited about this movie. But I have to say that I'm disappointed, from the plot to editing and the acting (except tom hardy of course) are medi core. You can watch it one time if you're interested in what it has to offer but otherwise don't bother
