THE FLASH 2023 finally arrives about 5 years too late

THE FLASH 2023

6/10

The movie that should have came out between Batman v. Superman and the Justice League movie.

Like MOS and a stand alone Affleck Batman movie should have happened between those movies butwhatever.

And just to let you know where I stand:

Man of Steel –10/10 perfect, no notes. Collator damage was realistic and Zod neck had it coming. Go argue with yo moma.

BvS– 5/10 overly complicated plot, Not enough Superman and “Martha” was dumb af. Period.

WonderWoman–9/10 waited my whole life for that movie but didn't need her to fall in love.

Aquaman- 6/10 Thank god for Jason Momoa otherwise it was whatever.

Josstice League– 2/10 Trash. Sup vs the League was the only good part.

WW84--0/10 Pure uncut Trash. The whole movie made no sense. They made WW, the feminist ICON a sad bitch

moping over a dude she knew for 2 days 70 years ago.WW the feminist ICON fucked some dude’s body

because the soul of her old boo was in it.The wishing rock thing. All of it, trash.

Justice League THE SNYDER CUT-7/10 Needed more Superman was too long for not reason.

Shazam 6/10 was okay, don't need to see it again ever.

Black Adam 5/10 Loved the Rock but hated the story and writing it felt so outdated.That kid was annoyingaf. The only reason I really wanted to see it was because of Superman.

Shazam 2–Didn’t see because they fired HC and I didn't care about Shazam 1 that much anyway.

And now this.

I didn’t want to see. I hated Ezra Miller’s Flash in both cuts of Justice Leagues, but then Micheal Keaton was put on the table and I had to see. That's my Batman. I love Ben Affleck and it’s bs that he won't be doing a stand alone Batman movie but the 2 Keaton Batman movies were life. I grow up watching the Superman movies but they were so cheesy and the Burton Batman movies just hit different.  And again I just love the Micheal Keaton period.

And Ezra Miller's life has been very problematic to say the least. I don't know how many charges are pending or their guilt or innocence. IDK But purely as an actor, as Barry Allen, Miller made me not care about a Flash movie. So Keaton is the only reason I gave in.

But I bought a ticket to see The Blackening. A film I have no interest in seeing. A comedy/horror film with an all black cast, with the tagline We Can’t All Die First. That’s super funny but also larger than the actual title on the poster of the movie, and that annoys me so bad. But Black writers, director and cast so I gave them my $12 and took my Black ass over to see my boo Micheal Keaton.

Theater had a capacity of 96 but only maybe 20 other people were in there. All the seats on the outsideand top were empty so I didn't have to worry about taking somebody’s seat. 

It started out very lighthearted. Barry is waiting for his sandwich at a shop but the girl that knows his orders is not there. He has like a fit bit thing letting him know he needs to eat. His energy is getting low so he really needs to eat.

I know he's a young bachelor but he's been The FLASH for years. He doesn't have groceries delivered to his spot everyday? He has to eat hella food. And he’s the fucking FLASH he so he could literaly do his grocery shopping in less than a minute if he wanted. And why doesn't he have energy bars in his bag at all times?

 But anyway. Alfred and Bruce call him to come help in Gotham. So he runs from his town to Gotham. Before he goes he has to do this whole runner pose before taking off which makes no type of sense because he ran in the bathroom to change and ran outside with no slow ass whined up but then ran into the street, then stopped. Does a slow ass  running pose like he’s trying to find zen,  the title starts to come up, the music swells then stops because some fangirls start screaming from the sidewalk. So that was the whole point. The bit with the young teen girls screaming for him, hahaha. With Miller issues with teen girls maybe they should have taken that out. 

He takes off finally. And then there is a whole “funny" scene of babies falling out of the hospital and him of course going in fast/slow mo to save them all. I knew no babies weren't gonna die but I didn't need that type of stress. He saves them. Great, cool. Batman is chasing the bad guess. He totally kills a few of them. I’m okay with that. Fuck em. The last dude and Bats go off the bridge and Wonder Woman pulls up to save them before what ever the fuck they stole fell into the water killing every body in Gotham. I didn't expect her to be in it so that was cool. Bats rambling like an ass because she pulled him up with her Lasso Of Truth was lame and not a cool surprise. And he says if he really wanted to stop crime he should just give his money away to help people. And that kinda pissed me off because It makes no sense that he would do what he does but actually believe he could help more doing something else but just don’t. WTH? Anyway Barry is apparently a virgin.

Barry finally gets his sandwich and gets to job at the city crime lab. Iris is a reporter and she and Barry  knew each other in college. She comes off as fake. She wants a quote about Barry’s Dad case. Not cool. He talks to his dad about new evidence that cant clear him for the murder case of his mom because his head was down on the videotape at the grocery store the time his mom was murdered.

We get the flashback…get it,  Flashback… of what happened the day his mom was killed. She sent dad to get some tomatoes for whatever she was making. Right before he got back something happened. And we have no clue what actually happened to her or who killed her. Barry could have gone and found out but whatever. After his flashback he runs so fast he goes back in time. You know how a really sad flashback can be so upsetting. This is when he realizes he can go back in time further than a few minutes like in JL. 

And this time it looks completely different. He’s in  ball that turning around him like a kaleidoscope of the

past. It's a really cool effect. I have never seen time travel shown like this before. He doesn't do anything

at that point. He goes and talks to Bruce about it and Bruce says dont do shit. The bad shit, your mom

dying my parents dying it made us us. If you change things in ways you cant foresee. But then Iris comes

by to apologize for being a dumb-ass before. And then this dummy get the idea that he should go back in

time to make to put a can of tomatoes into her cart. 

And then on the way back to his current time and scary jacked up dude that I thought was the Reverse Flash aka Zoom, comes out of the kaleidoscope and knock Barry out it and into the wrong time. He's at his house, his mom is alive. He's happy. Very  moving then the younger Barry that's a freshman in college, shows up. This is definitely the least favorite part of this film. Younger Barry is way more annoying than he was in the JL movies. This version didn't lose his mom or have his dad in prison so I guess having everything going good in life can make a hyper person even more obnoxious. Original Barry even makes a joke about see why people find him annoying. And it was funny. In this Original Barry is like a completely different person than the dude in JL and Miller is being so extra hype and goofy as younger Barry it's like watching 2 different people and actually it never felt weird or fake with them being in the same shots. We've come a long way since Big Business or any movie from the 80’s or 90’s when people played twins or doubles of themselves and every time they were in the same frame it looked horrible and took you out of the movie. That never happens here. It always felt like two completely different people. There was plenty of other bad CG but not that part. 

So OG Barry realize it the day he gets his powers so he takes younger Barry to the lab to make sure hisgets it too but OG Barry loses his powers in the process. Then we watch the young Barry run around likea fool for way too long. Barry realizes that things are different in this timeline like Micheal. J. Fox wasn'tMarty Mccly in Back to the Future. Hahaha. Get it? That's a travel movie, this is a time travel movie.

So then Zod shows up. Barry apparently had just got his powers when Zod came around in his time andall he could do was go to Metropolis and save just  one kid. So now he has a chance to do more anddecides he needs to go get Superman. Not sure why. Yes things are different but he had no real reason tothink Superman wasn't gonna show up in this timeline and he needed to go get him but whatever.Apparently though nobody knows Aquaman or Wonder Woman so he thinks that mean they don't exist at all.IDK. He goes to Gotham to get Bruce and boom its the man I been waiting for Mr. Mom himself, MichealMother fucking Keaton. I don't know if this Bruce gave all his money away to help Gotham because hedoes say that Gotham is than Afflecks Batman so Barry is confused. Bruce basically tells him you fuckedup the timeline. Time ain't a straight line and you took a wrong turn and good luck. He for some reason isnot tripping off Zod fucking Earth up. 

The Barrys go to the Batcave and young Barry annoys the fuck out of OG Barry so bad he goes off onhis ass because Young Barry is clueless at how good he got it and how serious all of this is and hessick of his goofy ass shit. Loved it.

Eventually The Keatman decided to help and they go to Russia because that's where they thinkSuperman is being held. We know its SuperGirl because they spoiled that shit in the trailer and alsofired Henry Cavill for some dumb-ass reason. I’m not bitter!

So they fight their way in and out of the Russian base place with some CGI video game cut-scene. Allof Micheal Keaton's fighting scenes looked like video game cut scenes. And then they get the girl up tothe sun and she charges up and it's horrible. The flying to the punches look fake. Like she’s not even inthe same set as the other actors she is hitting. Maybe this was because of Covid they had to film it thatway, I don't know but it looked really bad. They win. They get back to Wayne manor. She get on herSuperGirl suit on and basically says the Russian were assholes so fuck earth this aint my home and bonces togo see Zod but after she sees him kill some military dudes she changes her mind. Zod seemsto have seen her but they don't talk or anything for reasons.

OG Barry decides he needs to recreate what happened to him to get his powers back and Bruce is down.The 1st attempt don’t work but SuperGirl shows back up and flys him into the sky to get hit by lightningof course it happens immediately because the lightning knows it's in a movie and we need to get to thebig show down with the final boss asap.

The 4 go to stop Zod but I guess Superman never told Barry all he had to do to really stopped Zod in the 1st place because they don't even try to destroy the machine things Zod used to terraform the world which was the biggest problem with Zod. Terra-forming earth would kill everybody everywhere. So they just go to fight him like Super Girl could kill him and that would be enough. So I’m thinking…what’s the point of this fight? This is so dumb because his machines should already be in place. He even takes out his 3D Apple Watch thing to get them going. But…oh well? Movie gotta movie.

So everybody gets their asses kicked. The fight with Zod and SuperGirl was cool. Apparently Zod got to Superman's pod before he got to earth and killed him. A baby Superman was murder! Kara aka SuperGirl goes off, The fight is great, and never too one sided. It felt like she won the fight but  we know how badass and relentless Zod is, so we also knew she was dumb af to let her guard down before snapping that asshole's neck like a Slim Jim.  He kills her, puts some machine on her to extract her DNA to do what he want to do. Batman Batwing is hit. Hes going down and crashes into one of Zod’s air things which Zod aint even on. So Batman kills himself and affects nothing.

Meanwhile the Barrys fight together. OG Flash has to keep showing Jr how to use his powers. That scene was actually really cool.  They basically tag teaming fools. It’s great. Faora chick is fucking it up like in MOS. They fight her and I think the big dude too. I don’t remember how everything played out because so fucking much is happening.

But anyway they see Super Girl and Batman die and decide to go back in time just a little bit to restart this fight that doesn't even really matter but whatever. And Bats and SuperGirl die again in new and painful ways. Jr Flash gets hit by some debris but just wants to keep going back and restart the fight ...again. And this s when I get the twist. 

Jr Flash wants to keep going back in time to restart the battle over and over. Every time it doesn't work and he gets more and more debris stuck in him but he won’t stop.  OG Barry is realizing it’s futile and both Bruce Wayne’s were right. He shouldn’t have fucked with time travel. But Jr ain’t hearing it, he keeps going and the kaleidoscope keeps getting bigger and more elaborate. We start to see other universes and timelines that looks balls of time.(Note to self,  Balls of Time perfect title for a porn about time travel) Anyway Jr is the fucked up looking asshole that knocked OG Barry out of the speed force bubble. 

Oh and we see into the other Balls of Time. We see the OG Superman, George Reeves and Christopher Reeves and OG Batman, Adam West. Great, wonderful. RIP and all that but what blow my mind was long haired NICHOLAS FUCKING CAGE as Superman! He’s not just posing stoically, no, he's  fighting a giant ass spider. This was a thing that was gonna happen forever ago. Nic Cage as Superman was gonna happen but didn’t. When I saw that shit I actually clapped and laughed so fucking hard. I could not believe my eyes.  I did not at any point in my movie loving life want to see that man as Superman but the idea tickled me when I heard about it. So I loved that they added that in but people who don’t follow movie news closely would be so confused by that shit and I kinda love that too. 

Anyway the really really old Jr jumps in the speed force bubble when all the Time Balls start colliding and he still wants to keep going. He’s fucking old as time but somehow think he can still save his mom. Jr sees what he’s becoming and feels dumb but old Jr wants to stop OG from stopping and Jr is killed by Old Jr and OG does the backwards running man to go take out the can of tomatoes from his moms cart. That scene with his mom, her not knowing thats her grown son and him knowing hes gonna let her die, is kinda fucked up. They talk, she sees he's upset and offers to hug him. He’s fighting back tears. I don’t care, I won't be able to let my mom die after seeing her again. But he’s a super hero so he takes the can of tomatoes out the cart and puts it back on the shelf where it belongs because he's not an animal. But then he realizes that his dad’s face wasn't seen on camera because of how low they were on the shelf, so he puts them on the top shelf and boom.

He goes back to the future and the tape shows his dad’s face as clear as day and now he’s innocent but doesn't leave the courthouse with his son immediately . I don't know how that shit works, maybe the judge has to do paperwork or something like that but if I was Barry I wouldn't leave without my dad. The man has been in jail/prison since Barry was 10-11. How did he not pick his dad up like a baby and carry him out the courtroom? 

Okay so he changed something in the past to get his dad set free for her murder but he didnt go back in time to at least find out who actually killed her? Why and how? I get him not want to fuck with the timeline too much but he could have just saw who killed her so when he came back to the future he can go after the killer. But no?

So then he leaves the courthouse with Iris, she cool now. He asked her on a date.Great whatever. But again his dad has been behind bars for most of his life. I get he's a virgin but how is he not running to hook shit up with his dad and celebrate like crazy? 

Anyway….George Clooney shows up. Yeah so talking to his mom and/or moving the tomates changed the timeline any damn way so now he has the worst Batman.

That had to have been a reshoot because Miller looked like shit. Like a computer generated person that was hungover so they used all the makeup. Looked horrid. But Clooney looks ridiculously sexy. I don't even remember what he said, don't think he said much anyway but I was too busy thinking about what I wanted to do with that sexy man. Like really I haven't swooned for Clooney this hard since the 1st Ocean’s 11. Having him look like that next to Miller was fucked up.

I thought there was gonna be an end credit scene but no. I guess people were talking about the Clooney scene which I guess was mid-credit. I don't remember. George Clooney was fine as fuck. Horrible Batman and Batman movie but I forgive him.

Okay 6/10. It was okay. I would recommend it but if you hated the other DCEU movies you probably wouldn't care about this in any damn way. 

I loved the new chill Barry. I loved the chemistry Miller has with himself and Keaton. SuperGirl was forgettable. We don’t get to spend any real time with her to get to know her. I wish she was blond too. I don’t give a shit about race swapping, hell I love it because it makes the bros mad but can we at least do the hair color. And yes I wish Amy Adams Lois Lane had dark hair too. Has she ever dyed her hair for a movie? I don't think she has. Is she just hard pressed to rep Reds for life? 

Anyway, I loved Keaton but his fight scene looked so fake and it seemed weird that when we find him he hasn't been Batman in years but he never looks out of step when he puts back on the cap. He’s an old man that hasn't fought in years, it would have been okay to show that but maybe they don't want to make Batman look silly or lame but they already did that with Affleck with the Lasso of Truth but whatever. 

Like I said some of the action looked horrible but I loved the speed force kaleidoscope Balls of Time thing.

They curse some and we see Miller’s ass so maybe not for kids. It's PG-13 but people will be taking smaller kids but booties never hurt anybody and everybody has one. 

Hereditary

Man, I was not ready. I should of been. I only heard about this film because of Chris Stuntmans review on YouTube. He was blown away so I thought I should see it because I want to be blown away too. Man, I had no idea.

I've read nothing about this film. Didn't even see the trailer. I went in totally blind. This is kinda a good thing. I wasn't sure if this was a psychological thriller or straight horror film. Well ladys and gentlemen it's both.

This film is a slow creepy burn. We meet this Gramham family on the day the funeral of Annie's,Toni Collettes character's mother. Annie is miniature artist and it's easy to see she wasn't very happy even before her mom died. The whole family seem to be melancholy to the core. The dad of the family seem to be the one keeping the family together while his wife Annie is working on her art and daughter Charlie wander around and make her own figures. The son played by Alex Wolff.

Early on we get hints of a haunting going on but then nothing happens. A lot of nothing happens in the first act. Just a whole lot of tension and creepy silence. The mood of the film is so dark and haunting but even after a jaw dropping horrific event happens to the two teen kids of this family it fells like nothing is really supernatural is gonna happen. The family start to unravel and frankly that was horrifying enough. I started to think the family was going to turn on each other and that would be the end game. I was so right and so damn wrong at the same time.

I laughed at parts where I'm not sure the film maker wanted people to laugh at but i wasn't alone. I wonder if what the film maker was thinking about when crafting this whole film. I have no desire to rewatch this film, it creeped me the hell out but if there's a commentary by the director I might.  I'll just covered my eyes again and just listen. I had no idea where it was truly going from one scene to the next. I have a lot of questions. When I left the movie my friend had to explain  a lot of the things I apparently missed. I guess there was a lot of foreshadowing that went right over my head. This movie is on some 6 Senses type of shit. You really have to pay attention to what is being said especially by Annie. But it's was hard for me because I was too scared and creeped out. 

Please see this movie. I can't even say I loved it but it was so beautifully made and acted. The climax was sharp and shocking but the ending was let down. However, it was stunning just the same.  It wasn't like a paint by numbers horror film Hollywood just keep shitting out. Maybe if we keep supporting original unique films more filmmakers can make original and unique films. But what usually happens thou is a unique film makes a splash and then they make inferior sequels and knockoffs but a girl can dream. B+

Ocean's 8

Ocean's 8 the 4th film in the Ocean's franchise. It's a reboot/sequel in my book. Saundra Bullock plays the lead as Debbie Ocean, sister to George Clooney's Danny Ocean. And just like Danny, Debbie is a sharp con artist with a passion for elaborate heist.

This is a film I've been looking forward to seeing since I heard in was in production. And the wait was not worth it. It's okay. Good knows I love a female driven film. I don't care what anybody say about movie being remade or rebooted with women replacing men. I'd definitely prefer a original film with women in the lead but films get rebooted and remade all the damn time. Or they just change the names and situation. Tell me The Fast and The Furious wasn't a Point Break remake. More recently we got Den of Thieves cheap remake of HEAT. Why can't women get in on being unoriginal? 

But this is supposed to be a direct sequel to the other Oceans movie. And it's styled after the other film especially the original. Not the "original" original starring Frank Sinatra but the 2001 film versions. Yeah, it was a remake.Debbie like Danny is getting out of prison at the start of the film and even have a blonde #2 that helps assemble her team just like Danny. The cinematography, the transitions, the music is all very Oceans 11. We even get the 2nd layer of the con reveal at the end. And that's it.

It's just like the 2001 Ocean's 11 but with women but subtract the snappy dialogue, and the tension of will they or won't they get caught. At one point they find that there is a security device require to remove the necklace they are planning to steals within hours but they immediately have solution in the next scene. There is no real bad guy to truly hate. Or anyone on to Debbie's plan. It felt like there was no risk of them getting caught. We learn Debbie ex thru her under the bus for a con they did together and that why she was in prison but it still wasn't enough there to care about. The team as whole was just there. Everybody played there part but there was no chemistry. I don't blame the actors but the flat script. In the 2001 Ocean 11 the team has obstacles while planning the big heist and they ham it up together while figuring shit out. We never got the curveball that screws up the plan and the comedic relief of them dealing with it. There were scene were I suppose they thrown a curveball but the solution was a snap and no very funny. Everything so went smooth. In a Heist a work around should be a long shot and we the audience, step on the edges of our seats anticipating the outcome. We should be worried for our protagonist getting caught but that wasn't factor here. Maybe that's the effect of having women running the con but it makes for a boring movie

The women were stylish as the men of the other films but the dialogue was not on the same level. Man, I wanted to love this but it just wasn't funny or slick enough. How can you make a boring  film about a group of women criminal? C

Solo the Orginal Space Cowboy

I not gonna qualify my opinion and go on and on about what about the original trilogy meant to me. Okay I am.
     I seems to be a requirement for a Solo review. I was born in 1979 and I don't know of a world without STAR WARS. But I truly don't remember watching the movies as a kid. But it was in the air and apart of life. I do remember watching all of the prequels in the theater with various degrees of boredom. The only thing I loved was the fight  between Anakin and Obi-wan at the end of Clone Wars. I didn't really watch the originals until my son was 6 or 7 and would watch all 3 over and over when I bought as set from target on a whim. He loved those damn movie. My dad watched him while I was at work and he let him play them all day until I got home. On my days off I refused to put them on but one day I relented and sat down and watched with him. They were good but I wasn't blown away. Mostly I was confused at to how bitch ass Anakin and bad ass Darth Vader was the same dude.  And I did notice the weird unnecessary digital updates.  And in spite of having no attachment to the prequels I was happy that I got to take my son to see Episode 1 The Phantom Menace for his 1st time when they re released in theaters in 2012. He loved the pod racing. His mind was blown. He was 8, so don't judge him. But watching him watch it, that was everything. Up their with him meeting Minnie Mouse at Disneyland when he was 5. And of course I was then forced to buy him all the prequels and they immediately went in the rotation with the original trilogy.
     So I guess you can say I was never STAR WARS fangirl. More like a fanMom raising a fanboy. A pure fanboy with nothing but love for all 6 flims. His love for the films and character's is all I cared about. I've bought the t-shirts, toys, and Halloween costumes. And we when news of new STAR WARS movie were coming he was overjoyed and I was so happy and excited about taking him to see them. And yeah he had the Kylo Ren costume the Halloween before The Force Awakens was even out.  (Force Awakens A+, The LAST JEDI B and Rogue One B)

     But when we heard of Solo we weren't that excited and the trailer didn't look all the great. Who the fuck wanted  a HAN Solo movie? Ewan McGregor is still young so we all just knew he would get a stand alone Obi-wan movie for sure.

     Man, I haven't even started to review this damn thing. My bad. It's just a stupid forgettable space cowboy movie about the orignial OG space cowboy. They didn't need to make it and its so disrespectful to the fans. Yes I loved Donald Glovers's Lando and his civil rights fighter droid L-3 but that's about it. We saw it in a damn near empty Memorial Day weekend. And frankly I'm happy it didn't make the money  they expected. I hope to God they take this as a lesson that you can't just slap STAR WARS on something people come running. A lot of people are attributing this to The LAST JEDI being a disappointment to "diehard" fans. But I think not.  How did they expect people to watch and love a character for 40 years and then give them a cheap imitation. Harrison Ford is Han Solo, period. If they just had to make this film they need a actor that would basically do a spot on Harrison Ford impersonation at the very least. This Alden Ehrenreich was amazeballs in Hail, Caesar but in Solo he was just there. If this wasn't STAR WARS connected and his character had different name, it more than like I wouldn't have seen it until it came out at Redbox and I would have scrolled IG the whole time. I dare say it would have made half of what it did. It was just one forgettable scene to the next scene to the next and call backs to things he said before. Not very ambitious but safe and impersonal. So many character died as soon as they were introduced. So we never got connected and their death had no weight.

Sometime I wonder to these film makers ever watch all the originals before they work on the new films bc it don't seem like they do. They're so disconnected. Hell TLJ is disconnected from TFA the film right before it. Hopefully this will force them to take a better look at the whole SW universe. Maybe learn from Marvel and get a game plan together. This movie was serviceable but a serviceable movie for a Iconic film character as Han Solo it's a slap in the face. Especially for FanMom that's been paying into the STAR WARS  machine for years. Even if they spent my hard earned money on a CGI Han and paid Ford a fortune to just voice it would have been light years better and still not good enough. C-

DEADPOOL 2

2nd Best Deadpool movie ever made. A-

2018 So Far

Again, I've been slacking. I've seen every movie on my Most Anticipation Films of 2018 that's came out, but only reviews 2. So this is gonna be a short run down of the film's that I've seen so far this year.

1. READY PLAYER ONE Um, it's been a minute since Ive watched this so bare with me. It moved me but was corny as hell. The ending in the game should have been it. The real world ending was too long and drawn out for no reason. I can't wait to see it again at home so I can get all the video game references. B

2. BLACK PANTHER. The hype was unreal and I was totally into it. T'achalla is sexy as hell and his cuz Killmonger equally charismatic. The whole 1st and 2nd act had me. But the 3rd act not so much. The CGI fight scene was unfortunate. Shuri was the best thing in the film. Looking forward to the inevitable sequel. B+

3. ANNIHILATION This was a syfy thriller starring Natalie Portman. It was very intense and refreshing do to the fact that I could not guess what was gonna happen from one scene to the next.  Moreover I can not tell you how it ended even if I want to. My mind was blown and the moment I thought I got the pieces back together they fell right out my hands. I definitely need to read the book and the rest of the series by Jeff VanderMeer called the Southern Reach Trilogy. B

4. AVENGER: INFINITY WAR Okay so I saw this twice. The first time I was in awe of the scale of it all. The A1 characters team ups, the fight scenes, the death and destruction. I could not believe the awesomeness of it all. So on 1st viewing it as an A++ easy. The 2nd time the shine had worn off. Manly the the tone was all over the place. Marvel films have always been heavy with comedy but this time it was just too heavy considering the steaks. Another fail was the CGI of Thanos. He looked like a video game character and didn't do him justice at all. He was hands down the best comic book movie villain since Heath Ledger's Joker . I don't care what nobody says Killmonger was just a black Magneto. And at the killed off half the characters but it was hard to care because we know it's a part 4 and there is a time stone so all the have to do is hit rewind and boom everybody's back. B+

The Post

The Post is the latest film from Steven Spielberg. The film documents the behind the scene drama of the Washington Post decision to publish top secret papers that outlined a cover-up that spanned several presidential administrations, which sparked an unprecedented battle between the government and the free press back in 1971. Obviously with the current administration that has been so openly hostile towards the press one can’t help make parallels.

The film stars Meryl Steep as Katharine “Kay” Graham the publisher in process of takin The Washington Post public, further adding to the drama. Tom Hanks is Editior Ben Bradlee whom is in the middle of butting heads with over editorial choices when all hell breaks loose. The New York Times published a story with top secret information from the Pentagon leaked by a former military analyst. Bradlee and his reporters are on the hunt for more leads. Tom Hanks kills it as the seasoned, relentless newsman. He, like Will Smith, is master playing a lovable jerk. Meryl Steep is Meryl Streep, so yeah she great. Her character has the most to lose if they publish additional “Pentagon papers” making easy not to sympathize with her struggle to do it, even thou we know she’s gonna do it.

There’s no doubt that some of the scenes were over dramatized to make the movie more suspenseful. The climax when Graham makes the decision, she’s seemed to miraculous grow a back bone after spending most of the film as a doormat. That was the only fault I found. People in the audience cheered and clapped for her. I must have been the only one there that thought it played out melodramatically. It’s a high steaks drama starring Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep and directed by Steven Spielberg, so I expected some over the top scenes when three powerhouses get together.  9/10
