Aquaman, Orm and Manta are comic accurate. Thestory is predicatble since the second huge trailer. I mean, there was not a moment were I was surprised by anything including the credit scene.
The visuals are great for the most time, but at some places you're starting to wonder is there anything real in this movie? The CGI becomes tangible.
The action scenses are decent, slow motion is everywhere, the humor is...really? The movie is better than most of the others DC movies, but still got a lot problems, including story connections, logic and physics. I mean for me "Man Of Steel" is still the best one, followed by "Wonder Woman". All I can say is predicatble from start to finish pop corn flick.
Brie Larson enters with all his heart in the role of Captain Marvel! Her palette of emotions is more than rich, so the hater can cry in the corner. Happy?
The whole story is a different origin, that you will appreciate. The movie is great and engaging, great action, fun moments, and lots of references that will only be appreciated by the true fans. There're suprises (some of them will blown you away).
The combination between Brie Larson and Samuel Jackson is something we could only have wish to this point! The chemistry between them is great. Jude Law is on point, Goose (the cat) just killing it, but man...Ben Mendelsohn steals every scene, just unique character!
The visual effects do not disappoint! Everything looks even better than the trailers.
One of the reasons why the film is interesting, is the time period in which it's set and all the small references to events from the Marvel Universe. It's not the "typical" Marvel movie for sure. Brie Larson and Lashana Lynch (Maria Rambeau) kicks immediately and no, this is not movie about feminism, it's a great comicbook story about female lead character, get over it!
I definitely can't wait to see Captain Marvel and The Avengers side by side! For sure her first appearance will be a blast! She's the necessary shock to the system, not the hero who will defeat Thanos, but with the combined efforts of the Avengers she will can do so much. Captain Marvel is a brute force!
Stay by till end of the movie...we're in the Endgame now!
This film loaded with silly humour, but it actually got some clever laughs and its heart is in the right place. When I say that this film has its heart in the right place I mean that it manages to get the balance of comedy and sentimentality without crossing too far over the line into cheesiness.
Billy's story involves him not being happy in his foster home and trying to search for his mum. I felt sad for Billy. However, the way we get to know his new foster family, with all their individual quirks, shows us that he's in a safe and loving environment with genuinely good people. It's nice. When it comes to the superhero stuff I think this film manages to do well at demonstrating action scenes via the use of amazing visual effects. Perhaps near the end the film turned into something we've seen many times before, but it looked good while it was happening. The performances really carry this movie; Zachary Levi suited the role. Because he is actually playing a 14 year old boy he has to portray that convincingly - which he does with ease. He's really funny, and also looked suited to the action stuff as well. But one issue is that, the personalities between the adult and young Billy doesn't match, Zachary Levi is more convincing that's he's a 14 year old boy than younger Billy is. He come as across as very childish as an adult than he is a 14 year old. I hope they correct that in the sequel. Jack Dylan Grazer is pure comedy throughout this movie. His mannerisms are just as impressive as the words coming out of his mouth. He, which was a true supporting performance. Few minor issues i had with the movie is that the villain was too weak and the film did felt slightly too long. In the latter stages when the comedy was lessened and the serious stuff took over I did feel the film begin to lose its identity. The quirky comic superhero film was starting to look like all the others. I know they have to have the big battle between the hero and villain; but it almost lost me when all that stared.
All in all, Shazam is an enjoyable film with some positive morals going on. It has a lots of charms and a fine balance between humor and seriousness.
You think "Infinity War" was mind-blowing? So was I...but man..."Endgame" is simply the best cinematic experience in my life and every fan since the beginning of the MCU can confirm it! I still got chills after this movie...it will haunt me for so long! You'll cheer, you'll laugh, you'll scream and also you'll cry...a lot.
Watching this building of characters since 2008 on big screen and watching the culmination of it is hearth breaking and emotional!
Also...they kept the script very well. 3 hours long movie and I needed more at the end!
Thank you Kevin Feige, Russo Brothers and all the cast members and people behind the scenes, who made this thing real. This is life event!
I can't wait to watch it again and again and again with my friends...and yeah I'll cry just like the first time, but man... worth it!
Is the movie a masterpiece? No. Is it the worst X-men movie ever? Definitely not. Have you seen the last stand, Apocalypse or Origins? Does this movie have deep themes, amazing visuals, complex characters, and fully developed relationships? No but its straight forward and doesn't really have any holes.
Has Mystique completely given up? Oh beyond. Did we need aliens? No, no we did not. Are storm and Quicksilver depressingly underused? Sadly yes. Are Jean and Cyclops just ok? Yea but Beast, Charles and Magneto are still giving it their all. that mini mutant civil war fight was pretty cool and I really liked the train sequences. It ok for a movie to just be ok, just average. I can at least say I had a good time in the end. This movie does not deserve people going so hard on it.
Spider-Man: Far from Home holds the unfortunate title of being the only film I've ever fallen asleep to while watching in the cinema. Having now rewatched Marvel's latest blockbuster I can firmly say that episode of snoring in Cineworld was induced by a lack of sleep the night before, and not the content on display.
Tom Holland gives his best performance as Spider-Man yet. In other reboots it is often easy to forget (or even hard to believe) that Peter Parker is only a school aged kid, but Holland plays the role so convincingly. The viewer feels a lot of sympathy for Peter throughout Far from Home as he struggles with the burden of being expected to fill Iron Man's shoes, all the while proving to be more relatable than ever as he endeavours to enjoy his school trip and win over the girl he likes. Speaking of which, Zendaya's inclusion in Homecoming finally makes sense now - I should've known the writers would have more use for her character in later instalments.
Jake Gyllenhaal also plays his role applaudably well, his character as unlikable as ever. Despite Peter's frequent references to pop culture throughout the series he clearly hasn't seen Nightcrawler, or else his tingle might've warned him against trusting the cunning Mysterio.
I love how these Spider-Man films examine the effects of the Avengers on the microcosmic environment of Peter's high school, where they study Thor in physics. This dynamic was especially effective in highlighting the complications of the blip and how humanity has dealt with the outcome of Endgame. Therefore Spider-Man: Far from Home serves as an effective epilogue to Phase 3 of the MCU, and I am grateful that Disney and Sony have worked out their differences to ensure we get to see what becomes of Spider-Man after that jaw dropping post credits cliffhanger. Whenever the next instalment may hit cinemas, I'm certain that this time round I'll manage to stay awake.
This is not your typical comicbook movie! This is a MUST SEE pure art!
The Joker is such a complicated character and every actor in the years portrait im differently which always will be great.
Joaquin Phoenix is beast in this role! I'll not compare his portrait of the character till I see the movie second time, but man...such a great performance!
The whole dark Gotham vibe is so good, you can dive in it. There is pure acting and pure violence. Some people will like it, some not.
This is not Jared Leto surrounded by 1,000 knives without reason...this is the real world.
The movie perfectly show our society nowadays and maybe this is one of the reason why is so good.
De Niro performance it's great as you can expect, same goes to all other supporting actors.
The music kills at some points, because it's so intense with the particular scenes.
So ground based and so good. This is probably the best movie this year after "Endgame", honestly...you can't compare them, they're both unique in their ways.
I recommend this movie so much, but is not for everyone for sure. It'll make you think about so much things in the end because as I said....
We are all clowns...of our time!
You will go through all sorts of emotions if "Star Wars" is in your blood.
There're answers for the question that "The Force Awakenes" and "The Last Jedi" put on the table.
The action...is the best of this Star Wars trilogy, and it can be said that the film has scenes that will be remembered and followed by a time.
The story is too much for 2 hours and a half. There were all kinds of theories, but I will not give out anything, you'll judge for yourself. The story of this movie, can be told in 3 movies and I think it will make a better sequel trilogy, than the one we received.
The music as always is the soul of "Star Wars"!
Adam Driver and Daisy Ridley are giving out everything until the end! There are surprises for sure, good ones and not so good...
I need to watch it again...
In the end, like it or not, as every "Star Wars" movie, there are still plenty of good things to remember. "Star Wars" is a movie for the generations!
The movie is not that bad, but to be honest...it's a movie about Harley, everyone else, pale in front of her.
I knew, that there will be feminism, but the whole movie is about feminism, which IMO is too much.
I would categorize the movie as DC's version of "Deadpool", but it won't be quite accurate. It must be seen to be understand.
There are some pretty creative approaches, some not so much. The story is not very impressive, but I think it's expected, nothing really special.
Black Mask got exactly one comic book scene...kinda. Everything else about him was just...strange.
The action is probably the best part of the movie.
The music somehow fits into the overall atmosphere, there're 2-3 strikes.
Considering that I was expecting to be a total waste of time, I can say it was boring, but not disappointing as "Suicide Squad". I would say, that it's forgettable Harley Quinn movie at best.
This movie is a slow burn that gives you enough time to get to know the new mutants but it's not very atmospheric. It doesn't put you in the mood, despite the horror vibe of the piece. I never felt anxious, or worried for any of the characters.
Even if the tone is a bit of a miss for me, it is a smartly constructed story. I felt I got the characters. I understood their fears, their traumas, and why they were the way we found them on an intellectual level but I hardly felt for them. I can't say that the actors didn't pull their weight, even though they are no oscar worthy performances, but giving that the atmosphere wasn't really there nothing elevated the work they put in.
The action scenes and visual effects were great for what they were going for, but in comparison to the sets looked like an expensive new car in a junk yard. The facility they were in is so rundown and cheap looking that I couldn't believe that it had voice activated locks. It would have been easier to believe that the doors opened and closed because of a Mutant's power.
The New Mutants felt like a great idea that wasn't totally followed through. There is a gun-shy feeling to it. They didn't go all the way or didn't strike the right tone. The first half of Josh Trank's Fant4stic Four felt more ominous than this entire movie. Unless they going for an intellectual horror superhero movie - if that's a thing - it worked! Because I understood what I was suppose to feel but never experienced any of the emotions.
