Venom (2018)
Enjoyed it
Ofcourse if you want to be a comicbook jockey to the details freak. There are things of difference.
But overall, it is there. The plot, Eddie Brock coming into contact with the creature. The creature choosing eddie/earth. The creature atleast for now conforming to some basic rules regarding co-existence.
Also the Eddie/Venom relationship that is being built. I really enjoyed it, there are moments where i feel too much was cut out, if i did not read spiderman all my youth i would not know what it meant.
But most of the time it was done so atleast it felt natural in the area of self preservation, social justice and political science. And for me that read alot of the comics. Fairly to the point as can be expected with all the "spiderman universes" taken into consideration.
I gave this title 9/10 not to boost the grade. But simply because i enjoyed it to this grade, i laughed, rejoiced and got treated with some great action, Also at the end got a treat hoping for a spiderman?, venom carnage followup. went to my summer house and brought home two boxes of my old spiderman collection. And had a blast.
Babylon 5: The Lost Tales (2007)
B5 the miniseries?
I was both skeptical and somewhat worried how Babylon 5: The Lost Tales - Voices in the Dark would be. I was however after watching it quite pleased. As far as i understand this will be a continued production if sales go well and people are interested in it. If so we might see several titles of this in a near future, in the spin off "The Lost Tales". This should be seen as a Episode in a series/miniseries(?), as it kinda leaves you hanging a little feeling that you miss something in the end. If you watch this expecting a movie you will not be pleased. In fact the only reason i rated this 7/10 and not 8 or higher was that i would have liked to see some of the other races, how the universe looks 10 years "after". The drak, And what hold they have on the centauri. Perhaps will this come in later episodes, i very much hope so. i gave it a 7 because, it had some very nice CGI effects. Some which i have myself never before seen. it opens up for some interesting future content in the B5 universe. And Galen is a character that alone gave it 3 extra in the ratings. Masterfully portrayed by Peter Woodward, breathing in some mysticism into this production.
****Spoiler warning***** Voices in the dark, starts off with a worked on B5 falling ill with what can be described as demonic possession, a priest from earth (Father Kelly(Alan Scarfe)) comes to B5 by request of Colonel Elizabeth Lochley(Tracy Scoggins). Meanwhile President Sheridan (Bruce Boxleitner) are leaving Minbar en-route to B5 for a 10 year anniversary of the Earth-minbar alliance. While sleeping Galen(Peter Woodward) visits his dreams and show him a Apocalyptic view of a might be future, and present a way to stop this. President Sheridan must now choose if he should listen to Galens warnings and follow his advice. Or find another way. ****** End of spoiler ****
