Thor: Ragnarok - Review

-
Hey, guys!
Today, I'm gonna do a review of the Marvel's latest addition to the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe), Thor Ragnarok.

 Plot:
A mysterious Goddess of Death, Hela, has been unleashed. As she takes control of Asgard, the famed God of Thunder is at the edge of the universe, with problems of his own. Teaming up with Hulk, a Valkyrie, Loki (yes, him) and bunch of others, he must do everything in his power to stop Hela from triggering Ragnarok, the destruction of Asgard. One problem, most of his powers lied in his hammer, Mjonlnir (It's not gibberish), which is now destroyed.

 Cast:
Thor: Chris Hemsworth
Loki: Tom Hiddleston
Hela: Cate Blanchett
Valkyrie: Tessa Thompson
Hulk: Mark Ruffalo
Heimdall: Idris Elba
Grandmaster: Jeff Goldblum

Review (what I thought of the movie):
So (as it's no secret) Marvel's retro look worked out really well (Guardians of the Galaxy and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2) and they have decided to apply it in Thor. Boy, has it worked out well. Thor Ragnarok gives us the best Thor movie yet and also the best MCU movie of the year (which was tough competition, I'm looking at you, Guardians).
The movie was a perfect cocktail blend of action and comedy. It had great CGI and awesome acting from all. Thanks villain was convincing and the danger seemed very real. Although it seems as if the trailer of the movie reveals a lot, the movie watcher would be pleasantly surprised to know that it actually reveals nothing. We see Thor stop relying on his hammer for his powers and finally stand on his own too feet. Also, some scenes may be a bit graphic for young users.





We also see celebrity cameos from the likes of Matt Damon, Benedict Cumberbatch and Stan Lee (obviously). Also, there is almost no hint of Marvel's upcoming movies (Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War), except a little text at the end of the long credits saying, Thor Will Return in Avengers Infinity War.

All in all, I give the movie 4.7/5

The Suicide Squad - A Spoiler Free Review

Image
 Hey guys! It's been a while since I've had one of these. So I went back to the theatre for the first time in about six months, and the film I chose was James Gunn's Suicide Squad. On social media, many people were lauding it for being one of the best comic book films ever made, and many were even calling it the best film in the DCEU. Well, I'm here to give my two pennies' worth on the film! PLOT: Amanda Waller puts together a "Suicide Squad", consisting of convicts, each with their very own special set of skills, to pull off an impossibly dangerous mission that affects the power of dynamics of the whole world. CAST: Bloodsport: Idris Elba Peacemaker: John Cena Ratcatcher 2: Daniela Melchior Harley Quinn: Margot Robbie Amanda Waller: Viola Davis REVIEW:  James Gunn has the sense of humour of a fourteen-year old edgelord. He does not do dark comedy like Edgar Wright or The Coens, he prefers the 'oh look there's blood and guts everywhere', brand

The Fablemans is the Most Important Film of the Year.

-
Hey guys! It's been a while. But every so often, one sees a film that is so brilliant, so new, that one feels compelled to revive one's blog that has remained dormant for the past few months. I recently watched such a film; as you gauged from the title, it is Steven Spielberg's The Fablemans . The latest outing from the Schindler's List  filmmaker is quite different from his usual work. Rather than being a huge blockbuster, the seventy-five-year-old filmmaker takes a step back and reflects upon his life. You may argue that it is not his best work (and I may be persuaded to agree), but I'd argue that it's his most important. The Fablemans  tells the story of young Sami Fableman, who is actually a self-insert for Spielberg.  One night, young Sami is taken to the theatre by his parents to be shown the classic film, The Greatest Show on Earth . Obsessed by the ending, young Sami picks up the camera and tries to recreate the ending, finding that he loves being behind

 Hey guys! So... I haven't done one of these in a while huh. Well, I just saw Wonder Woman 84 and it's the only superhero blockbuster comic book movie I have seen all year... quite literally. So given that, it's probably the best movie in that genre I saw all year. So, this is my spoiler-free review of Wonder Woman 84.  PLOT: After a mysterious stone that grants wishes appears at the Smithsonian Museum, gemologist and superhero Diana Prince must stop it from falling into the wrong hands, all the while battling demons both new and of her past. CAST: Diana Prince/Wonder Woman - Gal Gadot Steve Trevor - Chris Pine Barbara/Cheetah - Kristen Wiig Maxwell Lord - Pedro Pascal REVIEW WW84 is a pretty fun film. It's 2 and a half hours long, and almost the entire runtime is filled with fun jokes and pretty decent action scenes. It works like a standard comic book film affair. You have your pinnacle-of-good superhero, absurd action that's PG-13; it's the kind o
