Halloween Ends (2022)
Not as good as I hoped
The original were the best, how many time do people have to say this before studio's listen, STOP MESSING WITH CLASSICS
For me I would have played at the fans heartstrings just have Laurie and Michael in the house him tied up and her talking to him showing clips from the original films. In the end his masked is removed showing a scared little boy and she says you know why I have to end this, stabs him and the screen goes blank. This version you you see Michael as a human not a monster we all love . These films make people nosgalic . It would have been more entertaining this is damp sqib of a finale that we were given.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022)
Fitting Tribute
Wow if your not moved by all the little nods to Bosman you have a heart of stone.
Marvel is back after playing silly mode with Thor Love and Thunder, for me this is up there with Civil War.
From the opening scene to the end one you will on the edge of you seat if not curled up crying. Not one poor performance in fact some Oscar worthy performances.
Right as for Namor, wow he is the real king of the oceans, could happily watch a stand alone film , you like him, then hate him and like him again. The underwater effects were stunning, can teach DC a lot.
The end scene along with the haunting song is beautiful.
Black Adam (2022)
Meh Adam
For crying out load DC you had a blockbuster on your hands and the standard of CGI villain was laughable.
The costume worn by Black Adam was average ( Green Lantern had a better one). Distracting cod piece and they made his rear end flat.
What was the point in Atom Smasher and Cyclone they were just there to make the numbers up, Hawkman must admit I clapped when he got stabbed. The MVP of this whole film was Dr Fate, played amazingly by Pierce Brosnan, although not on screen for long I would easily watch a film on his character alone.
Thank goodness for the mid credit scene is the only way this deserves a sequel.
The Invitation (2022)
Dracula be spinning in his coffin
The oh the trailer looked decent and I like vampires, though entered my head. Why did I listen.
Looking at the cast I should have known, inexperience and mostly done tv and stuff you miss.
Plot was something I liked and made me want to be excited, if it had a A list name attached to the film, it would have been executed much better.
Few highlights was Sean Pertwee as the butler, think he deserves bigger films . The rest was trying but no one was standing out .
They said they were going to Whitby, that's a coastal town and didn't see any part of the sea.
If you want an easy to watch time killer this is for you.
Bullet Train (2022)
Don't forget your ticket
Nice to see something fun and not taking itself too seriously. Plot easy to follow, action so good. The ONLY bad thing for me was the CGI snake.
Brad Pitt recently has shown how good his comedy acting is, would love to see him in a film with the cameos .
Jurassic World Dominion (2022)
Feel let down
Breaks my heart giving one of my favourite film franchises.
It has all the things you want, but I feel let down. Would have been nice to have clips of John Hammond instead of a small mention.
The CGI which normally is perfect in one scene you can tell it's not Pratt . Small things like that .
My major thing is a character who deserves to die becomes good. Nope he should have died .
Top Gun: Maverick (2022)
Ready for take off
Going to admit I only saw Top Gun last week for the first time. I enjoyed it a classic 80's film.
Maverick is everything and more , from the 80's font in the titles, to the soundtrack.
The flight scenes if you have a weak stomach bring a sick bag, I was moving in my chair with the action.
It's a classic emotional rollercoaster action film . Miss this at the cinema at your own rick.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)
Lives up to the hype just
Mixed feeling about this was looking forward to exploring more of the Multiverse, only really went to two.
The first is the most important for me for future Marvel films F4 has found it's Mr R.
The second was more dark and moody but all false into place.
It's a Marvel horror for the realms of What If it had the perfect director for it .
2 end credits scenes worth watching.
Morbius (2022)
Needs work
Oh how many more Marvel films Sony are going to ruin. Would have though with all the delays they would have done updates on the CGI.
The story was decent enough but needed to be stronger in some areas.
Leto and Smith played off each other really well, and could only do with what was written.
Think Sony need to look hard at themselves before ruining another Marvel character.
It's not perfect but still a good watch.
The Batman (2022)
10 for a DC must have been good
Not the worlds massive Batman fan lost never really likes the Dark Knight series, so going to see this I was expecting too much.
The film is perfection, the story was paced brilliantly never had a dull moment, music was good, acting was brilliant.
Actors who stood out were Farrell and Dano, I was use to the original Penguin but now Farrell under all the latex pulled off a performance rarely seen. Dano if I could give him the Oscar now I would, no more comical green suits, but horror serial killer , please give him a film on his own as The Riddler.
If you are one of those people who go the loo a lot at film book an aisle seat it's nearly 3 hours long.
Moonfall (2022)
To the Moon
Too many serious film around fighting for the awards, this is the tonic we all need.
Big non stop action, a Donald Sutherland cameo, a cat with a cute name plus Halle Berry is back in this film.
It's up there with the best of the disaster films for me it's second to Independence Day for me.
It's a classic popcorn movie don't films like this too seriously, sit back and enjoy the ride .
Clash of the Titans (2010)
You tried
All I can say it was another unnecessary remake which was extremely poorly executed . Sam Worthington try's to save a film which has came for the pay written all over it .
AVOID WATCH THE ORIGINAL.
Sing 2 (2021)
2 is better then 1
I freaking love this film , so funny makes you sing and wanna dance.
The main villain gave off Trump vibes, but was done in a funny way.
MVP was Miss Crawly she needs her own film.
It's funny on a kids and adult level need Sing 3 please. NOW
I had to take a point off as some songs I didn't know. I need more of 80s,90s vide next .
The Running Man (1987)
YES
I have loved this film from when I first saw it, I may have been too young to see it at first .
Rewatching it now and it hasn't aged one bit, well maybe the stars.
This is one of those film that's should never be remade.
Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)
Holly Spider-Man
Very enjoyable, easy to watch, the film flys by its so hard to write a proper review without spoilers . For me the star of the film was William Defoe he changed his whole face as the Green Goblin took over him. Love the interaction with the villains.
Please stay for the mid and end credit scene .
House of Gucci (2021)
Enjoyable
Left this one late to see , it was a good cast let's see if it's worth it.
It was I normally look into what happened, so I have an idea of what I'm letting myself in for. For some reason I didn't , as I enjoyed it more.
Lady Gaga and Adam Driver chemistry dragged you into this world that led to the tragic events.
If Al Pacino and Jared Leto don't get awards for they're performances the worlds a crazier place. Leto was unrecognisable as his played Paolo Gucci.
The downside is this film dragged a bit, would have loved to see more of the court case .
Oscar contenders.
Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021)
A love letter to Harold
Leave the worries of the world behind and get transported back to 1984.
It's all you want and more, a nod to past, present and future of the Ghostbusters universe.
It was a warm hug of nostalgia which will make your inner child smile and cry.
It's a perfect tribute to Harold Remis, who still features heavily in the film . You will need tissues at the end.
To have every one back is great my only hope they get the great Rick Morranis back for the next one.
Eternals (2021)
Phase 4 winning
Felt a bit nervous waiting for this they are a part of MCU I didn't look into, I know I had long enough.
It was blooming good, twist and turns, ups and down, easy to follow plot. Everything you need in a Marvel film.
Each actor complimented each other, and the balance of comedy and action is there it's a new take on Avengers. There is a mid and end credit scene , no spoilers from me, but Enternal 2 looks a good cast .
Don't read what the critics write they are paid to hate these films, but fans and fans who write about them love them for what they are a good film a few hours of escaping every day life.
Dune (2021)
Visually stunning
Went to see Dune feeling mixed, will I enjoy it, can I follow it, will it be the best thing ever.
Visually amazing CGI out of this world, can't fault it , for me personally the film was boring and dragged out . The acting was good, fight scenes good .
I will see Part 2 for sure to see it through.
Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021)
Too short
Think they missed an opportunity to allow the loveable Venom leave Sony with a bigger bang.
98 minutes isn't enough for this big of a character especially when you add the wonderful Woody Harrelson portray of a serial killer and Carnage.
Don't get me wrong the film delivers but you want more Venom, more Carnage , more Stephen Graham, heck even more Dan.
No Time to Die (2021)
Perfect Swan song
Daniel Craig swan song as Bond lives up to the hype.
Got elements of classic Bond the cars, girls and fights but it as a feeling of saying goodbye to an old friend.
The villains are on another level with the coldness, and tone. Yet again Waltz steels the show as Bloomfeld .
The ending left me crying tears of sadness and joy , this is my Bond the one after Connery and Moore that really made me fall in love with him.
Just hope they carry on with a male Bond and take it to the next level so another generation can say that's my Bond.
The Many Saints of Newark (2021)
Welcome to the club
I love The Sopranos so was looking forward to seeing it, and I wasn't disappointed.
The acting is award worthy, heck the whole film is.
The story dragged you in so much that when it finished it was like is that it. Even after two hours.
It is open open for another film which personally would love . Well done to all.
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)
Phase 4 starts with a bang
What a breath of fresh air this film is, it's doesn't feel like your traditional Marvel film till the end scene, mid and end credit scene.
Visually beautiful the creatures and scenery. The action was fast paced and blows you away.
Can't fault this film, you walk out the cinema and could easily walk back in and watch it again.
The Suicide Squad (2021)
Riotous Glorious Fun
It's everything you want from a James Gunn film.
Music awesome, outrageous action scenes , comedy, emotions, crazy kills.
The mixture of actors real and CGI were brilliant the MVP sorry MVR aid Sebastian the Rat, I'm expecting loads of kids wanting them as pets. Look it's better then a Shark.
Don't be late for this film the opening sequence is up there with Baby Groot dancing.
James Gunn has such a talent of bringing random actors and making them into a glorious thing,
There is a end credit scene so make sure your bladders don't need emptying.
The Titan (2018)
Needs Rework and a Remake
If a major Hollywood studio got this would be amazing, story is half way decent, cast needs a little work.
This is something kind of original so Hollywood won't touch it.
