Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle : Spoiler Free Review

-
Hey, guys!

So, Dwayne Johnson's new movie Jumanji released, which is his whopping third movie of the year. At this point, Dwayne Johnson is no longer a human, but a force of nature. He is unstoppable! Even his new movie's trailer, Rampage, is also out.

Anyways, back to the review.

PLOT:
Four students with conflicting personalities, get sucked into an old video game called Jumanji. They transform into the characters they had chosen to play. Their quest is a race against time to lift a curse off an island and save it from the dangerous villain Van Pelt.

CAST:
Dwayne Johnson: Dr. Bravestone
Karen Gillan: Ruby Roundhouse
Kevin Hart: Mouse Finnbar
Jack Black: Prof. Shelly Oberon
Nick Jonas: Alex Vreene
Bobby Cannavle: Van Pelt

REVIEW:
Many people would think that this movie is an unnecessary sequel to an old classic film. I think this movie is unnecessary, but entertaining. It picks off around a few years after the first movie ends, in 1996 on the beach and goes on from there. It looks quite cheesy in the beginning but escalates quickly.

Dwayne Johnson is portrayed as the lead and hogs up a lot of the screen time and the audience is reminded, more than one times, that he is the protagonist. Dwayne Johnson reminds me of the overpowered Superman from the DC Comics. Karen Gillan is shown as a strong and powerful woman who has some moments of her own in which she shines, and when she does, she makes sure that she outshines all other characters in the movie. Kevin Hart plays a stereotypical popular kid at school (stereotypical as in not good at studies, thinks with his fists, plays good sports and always in trouble). I think his role in the movie was to provide things to Dwayne Johnson, at times providing comic relief, but other than that he has no significant part in the movie.

Bobby Cannavale as Van Pelt, the villain. I think that the villain was forced into the movie. He has a weird power of controlling every animal on the island. For a villain, their main aim should be to strike fear in audience's hearts and Van Pelt just fails to do that. This was not the actor's fault, but that of the character's. Nick Jonas had a minor, but a good role. He played Captain Seaplane. He was essential to the story line and made a good plot device.

A special shoutout goes to Jack Black, who by far acted the best in the movie. His role is that of a pretty, young girl stuck in the body of an overweight, middle-aged man. Jack Black, a masculine actor, melted into the shoes of a young girl. The movie was pretty entertaining, and let me tell you this, it was pretty damn good.

Dwayne Johnson fans will not be disappointed and people will like Karen Gillan's role.

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
