Anthony's movie review: Batman V Superman

Warning: The following review contains strong languages and a major spoiler if you haven't seen that if you love and hate. Readers discretion advised


*walk out of cinema in a disappointing mood* ....    They Fucked it up...


 

*sigh* Its been over 2 in a half hours and...  I cannot believe how disappointing it is after a week that ignored all the critics of love and hate...

Anyway, Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice is a 2016 superheroes that was directed by Zack Snyder, produced by Charles Roven and Deborah Snyder and written by Chris Terrio and David S. Goyer. This is one is the most anticipating film for DC fans like me. Its been a long years that we want to see two famous heroes in a big brawl. Well, kinda, mainly because there's The Dark knight returns part that it has a battle between them. Not to mention, it also has more characters in the movie, not only Batman, but also Wonder Woman, Lex Luthor, Aquaman, The Flash, Cyborg and Doomsday. Which i like to see them all when i was waiting.

So, can this movie will be a greatest DC universe movie, or this movie will be suffered by Kryptonite?

Lets find out.

The story
In 18 months after Man of Steel, Superman became a hero of Metropolis. And by that, i mean he has nothing but problem that he almost kill everybody since he fought General Zod. Meanwhile Ben Afleck-- i mean, Bruce Wayne is starting his career as Batman in Gotham City, not before he was looking at Superman as his target, because he thinks he's a bad hero. Meanwhile (again), a 20 year old(?) Lex Luthor became a millionaire to introducing his corporation after he found a Kryptonite. Not before he meets an unknown antiques dealer Diana Prince for some reason. Not before she stole Bruce's scanner and... take it back to him. Later on, Batman was trying to steal a Kryptonite from Luthor, but it was too late because Superman blocked his way.  Then later at dark night, Batman was suited up with titanium armor to fight Superman, but not before they heard that Superman's mother was capture, because Luthor wants Kal-El to kill Batman.

To me, the story is pretty hard to tell at the beginning, it goes to a build up of a rivalry with Batman and Superman, but then it goes to a sub-plot where Lois Lane found some sort of bullet that she found that has nothing to do with the main plot. I asked a lot of question at plenty of stuff that has in the plot, but most of them are just a filler for no reason.

But the ending...  Where do i begin?   After a battle of Batman and Superman, they just stop for a warning reason that Superman tells Batman that he has to rescue Martha Kent from Luthor and Superman is going to fight his main nemesis, but not before Lex created one of Kal-El's dangerous enemy, Doomsday. Which i though the battle of Doomsday is gonna be in the second act of the movie, but its in the final act. Which it has an great fight. But it has a problem, you where Superman was knelled whenever he noticed a Kryptonite? But here, the movie decided to change the rules that he bring a Kryptonite spear to kill Doomsday, but not before he was also killed by Doomsday. Then after a funeral, Batman is confronting at Lex Luthor for a vengeance reason in the prison and walked away like nothing happened.

Yeah, you probably noticed that the movie is like what if you bring "The Dark Knight returns" and "The death of Superman" in the blender. Well, some part was loosely, you see, in "The Dark Knight returns", Bruce returned as Batman with an age of 55 to not only beating bad guys, but also fighting at the authority before he fight Superman before his death with a heart failure. But here, Bruce is like 30 year old while wearing an titanium armor while fighting against Superman.

The story itself is pretty complicated to follow, it barely called "The story", which its just nothing but confusing...

The production
Despite the lack-luster of the story, the production work is well done with over $250 million of budget. If has a great effect in this movie during the action. Some timessome part is not easy to tell whats going on like during the even of Man of Steal, its almost like a deleted scene, but taken in the theater. Speaking of deleted scene, Barbara Gordon (aka Batgirl) was attented to be in the movie, but it never happen until the DVD and Blu-Ray release. Not to mention, you can see Zod's body in the movie that i think he was supposed to be on Lex Luthor's plan. He was originally that Michael Shannon will be in the movie, but he was never accepted, so they bring Greg Plitt to look like Zod, but not before he died when he got ran over by a train in 2015. Ouch... ^^;

For the costumes, they look great. For Superman's outfit, its looks interesting. And yes, i am aware that costume was based on The New 52. As for Batman, its just... Well, Batman. Its nothing else to say. But i like his armor suit, it looks pretty damn cool. And for Wonder Woman, its looks great, her outfit feels like she's wearing a gladiator armors (Well, almost, mainly because she was born in Greek thanks to a creation by Zeus, even though we'll wait for her own movie next year.), even though some fans missed her classic outfit like in the comic, but im ok for that. And finally for Doomsday design, when he's in the first form, i though he looks nothing like in the comic, until he evolved to his second form. I find him looks pretty damn scary. 0_0

The production of the movie was actually great when it comes to a superhero film.

The characters
Well, these characters is probably a mix...

For Kal-El/Superman/Clark Kent (played by Henry Cavill) was return after the first movie. However, its not easy to tell that he's either good or bad. I mean yeah, he's the hero of Metropolis, but he's rather lame after he nearly killed anybody which makes everyone called him a controversial hero. He would've been an interesting character, despite Henry did a good work.

Next there's Batman/Bruce Wayne (played by Ben Affleck). I know lot of people were criticized when he was announced before the movie came out. But in this movie, i think Ben did a nice work, even though he's kinda emotionless Its as if he's trying to be serious, but failed a bit... ^^;  But my problem is why does he using a gun to kill people, i know he does it on purpose, but at least he has a creative gadget like he has a gun with a Kryptonite smoke. Even though Batman is good, but at least Ben had a better acting than Kristen Stewart in Twilight.

Then there's Lex Luthor (played by Jesse Eisenberg). I was expect to see Jesse in serious acting with egotistic. But unfortunately, he's probably the weakest in the movie. I know Jesse has been in a comedy films, but not for DC movie, here he's rather over the top of silliness and lame. I know this was before he became serious for his hatred of Superman, but remember, Lex was like 20 year old, i think... ^^;  But i heard that in Justice League part one, he will be played by Heisenberg from Breaking Bad. Hope its gonna a good one.

Finally there's Wonder Woman (played by Gal Gadot). She's an interesting character. at first, i though there's no Diana Prince, until i noticed her in LexCorp. But she never appears as Wonder Woman until the final act, pretty shame...  Even though i never heard of Gal Gadot, but she did an interesting job.

Even though there plenty of other characters like Lois Lane, Perry White and few others, they're either ok or boring.

Finally, there's The Flash, Aquaman and Cyborg in the movie. I was expect to see them in the movie. But to bad, they're only in the small appearances until their own movies and Justice League part 1 and 2. They even include Shazaam, but meh...

And know for my final opinion of this film.
Overall, Batman V Super: Dawn of Justice is easily the most disappointing film i've ever seen. The production was great, amazing composure of Hans Zimmer and a descent acting. But its the writing, the characters and the ending that they didn't executed well. Its as if it was focus on action rather than the story with an important explanation. It was also considered a Box-office success when it comes to the anticipation. But of course it had a battle of positive and negative for the criticisms. Some people loved with a great action, but some hated, because of lack of story and a lack of characters. Personally, im a neutral, because like i said, it would've been great movie, but it didn't holds up for the writing.  If you're a fan of DC with a coo action, its for you. If not, its probably lamer than Man of Steel.

My rating is 5/10.
It could've get 6/10 when it comes to an important story than an action sequence or maybe 4/10 because of plenty of action, but i decided to go with 5 out of 10. Oh well, lets hope Suicide Squad will be better than Batman V Superman.

So this ends of my review, if you have you opinion or suggestions, let me know in the comments bellow.

Thanks for reading, and im Anthony, signing out.

*Meanwhile*

Corporate Driver: Good... Good...! My plan actually work to be the most disappointing film. Now i heard Suicide Squad was reshooting, lets hope this one is bad. For my money! *makes his evil laugh*

Anthony's movie review: Zootopia

*walk of the theater* ...   Wow... What a-- Oh wait, i think i did a same reaction of Star Wars, but...   it...   was...   Awesome! :D



Hey everyone, my name is Anthony and welcome back to my movie review.

When i was prepared to watch Inside-out in 2015, i saw a trailer of Zootopia, which it may be a promising movie. I mean, i like Disney, i like anthropomorphic, what could possibly go wrong?

If you ask me, yes, i do like anthro, they're look either cool, handsome and pretty cute. I know they're plenty of people who loves the species that we make that are fictional that are original, some that are cliches and some that are....    to far for maturity... ^^;

Anyway, Zootopia is a 2016 Disney movie that was directed by Byron Howard and Rich Moore (The same guys who work with previous successful films like Wreck-it Ralph and Tangle.) and produced by Clark Spencer. But this isn't the only film what we got for this year, this is gonna be the second time that they release two films in this year, the first time was back in 2002 with Lilo and Stitch and Treasure Planet. Whats the second movie of this year you may ask? Its Moana, which il save it at November.

So, can this movie will be great to have another anthro since they did before, or is this movie that i'd watch a bad human movies?

Lets find out.


The story
It begins about a bunny girl name Judy Hopps who's dreaming to be a cop of Zootopia Police Department. Once she done it when she grew up, she finally work as a cop as "The first rabbit in ZPD" where she works as...  A parking duty. Yeah, its not as exciting as working as a lawyer in Montreal or New York. But not until she meets Nick Wilde who works with Finnick who's secretly a crime for selling a "pawpsicle" for money. Just then she heard about a missing of Mrs. Otterton which apparently he used to be friend with a scariest crime name Mr. Big, which he was turned into a savage predator to kill anyone, its up to Judy and Nick to find case to stop the savageness.

Now first of all, i though the story is about Judy tried to arrest Mr. Big, but i was probably wrong, instead, its all about finding the case of infection to turning into a predator. But how it does that? I won't explain the truth, because spoilers... ^^;

But either way,i find it a pretty original story. Yes, i know its all about cops solving a dangerous case, but its much more interesting in this movie. It also have a motivational message about a predator and prey or some others, which is a well written dialogue, they did a great job of that, if anyone wants to learn about the animals. As for the gags in this movie, it was pretty funny at many parts of this movie, especially in the scene where Judy and Nick visit to DMV with sloths, which the best part and the most laughable moments we've ever seen, i mean i was laughing out loud with viewers in Cinema. XD

So the plot in this game is well written that it has, interesting motivational and fun gags.

The production
Im pretty sure that you're like "Its a Disney CGI of goodness and nothing else to say". But it has the best work, like the character designs are pretty good what they look like in anthro, they look almost like in real life, but with cartoons with a great textures of fur and skins. The background is absolutely beautiful with nature and the fictional city, the city itself looks colorful like in real-life city such as Shanghai, Chicago and some others. As for the animation movements, it has a great job how to move or portray of animals like size, weights and abilities.

The animation of this movie is well done for the textures and movements.

The characters
These characters are quiet likable as Inside-out (kinda...)

First is Judy Hopps, a cop of ZPD from Bunnyburrow (Voiced by a Ginnifer Goodwin. Aka Mary Margaret/Snow white from Once upon of time). I can say that she's my fav character in the movie, she's optimistic, heroic cop and she's quiet adorable as a bunny. We always dream to work in department to save the city like her. And Ginnifer did a great job her main role.

Next there's Nick Wilde, a who's a con artist (Voiced by Jason Bateman). He's also an interesting character, he's caring, charismatic, intelligent and funny. I mean he almost steal the show that we love to watch for fun. Speaking of role, he was originally to be a main protagonist, but he was changed to a support. Oh well, at least Jason is also did a great job.

Then there's Chief Bogo, the cape buffalo who's the main officer of ZPD "(voiced by Idris Elba). He's much as being a big boss in the movie, but he's highly prejudiced of realistic, he's Intimidating, serious and he's always doesn't give a damn, mainly he cares of heavy-weight mammals on duty unlike Judy. He is damn cool and Idris has an amazing role of voice acting.

There's a few other characters in the movie, there's Leodore Lionheart who's an interesting character as a mayor, but a small appearance, Duke Weaselton is a crook for robbing foods and he's also funny (And yes, his name was given from a character with a same name from Frozen and they're voiced by Alan Tudyk), Flash is a slow sloth, but he's the funniest character in the movie, because of his slow personality (XD), Mr. Big who's the most fearsome crime in the movie, but not a main antagonist and there's Gazelle, a famous pop star in Zootopia (she was voiced by the famous pop star Shakira, nice choice. :D).

These characters are great, cute and funny when we see them in the movie.

And now for my final opinion of this movie.
Overall, Zootopia is definitely a best movie i've ever seen. Great story, amazing animation and a fun characters. I can easily think that this could be the best film of 2016, well if not THE best film, because they're plenty of them that il watch that its either great, disappointed or for the worst. If you guys love Disney or anthropomorphic, this one is for you. Its one of the greatest that i've seen.

It definitely deserve to get a 10/10. Go watch it, its always a must watch film. ^^

And btw, you think il end with a happy ending review? *start to feel serious* Not really, because next time, il going to see one film this is going to be serious for my anticipation of good or bad, which its going to be a movie where two heroes is going to fight each other to the death if you've seen a multiple of trailer with a Man of tomorrow and The cape crusader confront together. Unless you'll easily thinking yourself "You're going to see Batman V Superman?", yes... I will...
But il save it for two weeks later, because of my grand-parents meeting of Happy Easter. So il be patient to find out.

So this ends of my review, if you have your opinion or any suggestions, let me know in the comments bellow.

Thanks for reading and im Anthony, signing out. ;)

*meanwhile of CD HQ*

Corporate Driver: *sigh* why does he review a lot of good movie... Im sick and tired of all of his bullS***! I better have to make something to screw him up with disappointments and S***y one. In fact, im gonna give one that he'll like...

Anthony's movie review: Deadpool movie

Warning: The following review contain, strong language, violence and nudity. And spoiler alert!! Reader's discretion advised.



Hey everyone, my name is Anthony and welcome to my first movie review of 2016.

Well, this is my second Marvel review since i reviewed Ant-Man. But today, im going to review a movie that has been waited for every fans to see a mercenary with his mouth on the big screen. Its none other than....  Dead--

Deadpool: Deadpoool! :D

What--?! What are you doing here?

Deadpool: Well, i was just waited to appear when you're building about about me, right Tony?

Its Anthony and im not Tony Stark. Anyway, yes its Deadpool. The man who work as an anti-hero to fight over bad guys for his dirty job.

Deadpool: Like my Dick on gangs face?

Ehhh... Yeah... ^^; But its not until it was promoted in 2015 that he's finally announced that he will be in his own movie. Which its gonna be my review today. ;)

Deadpool: Alright! *run away and quickly come back with popcorn and soda pop* Go ahead, talk about the movie that i was been. :3

Ok then. Anyway, Deadpool is a 2016 action movie that was based on a comic with a same name. It was directed by Tim Miller, which is his directing debut. But this isn't the first time he worked a movie, the first one is The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo in 2011 as a designer. And it was produced by Simon Kinberg, Lauren Shuler Donner and Ryan Reynolds Deadpool??  Why did you lined at Ryan Reynolds?

Deadpool: Because i don't even know who the Fuck is Ryan Reynolds. Continue, please?

Um... Ok? Anyway, this made me raised the question. Is this a movie that make Deadpool win an Oscar, or is this movie that i'd rather have a cancer with skin damaged?

Lets find out.


The story.
The plot is about Deadpool started as Wade Wilson, which it starts normal that he hangs out with his gambler friend name Weasel and banging his ex-girlfriend name Vanessa (aka Cpoycat). But one year later, he suffered a terminal cancer, with a result that his proposal of wedding with Vanessa will be a major delayed and left her.. He was looking to find a cure to save his life with a help with Ajax and Angel Dust. But the help didn't work well that they tricked him with a serum of mutant genes and torture him with a deadly oxygen to give him a skin damaged. As a result, he broke out for his revenge that he discovered that Ajax is  Francis Freeman. As he escaped, he was prepared to become a crime fighter with a black and red spandex, a full or weapons and duo swords with a name Deadpool.

Deadpool: Yeeeaah! Thats my cool story, bro!

Well, even though the story is good, but its probably formulaic.

Deadpool: Formulaic? Why?

You see, the plot itself is nothing else to say. Mainly because the story should've avoid a cliches stuff. I mean, yeah, it has a cool action with a sense of humor, but you could've  make something original than using an obvious plot elements.

Deadpool: Yeah right, its my movie, i want to make whatever i want to. >_>

Right...


The production
I gotta say, the production of this film was actually pretty good to see. It has a great work of a part of CGI for Deadpool's eyes, the close up of his bullets and even the performance of Colossus, its due to the fact it was a work of motion-capture. Just to let you know that as we expect in this movie, it has many things, violence, sex, action and...

Deadpool: Mah Asss! *shows his butt at me* X3

Uhh Yeah...  Speaking of his dignity, in one scene where Deadpool fight against Ajax in fire, Wade is in commando in fighting, i mean you can nearly see his wang hanging out, no joke... ^^;  As for the gags, it works well for laughing with a lot of 4th wall lines or evev my favorite part where he cuts his right hand off from Colossus and Warhead to flipped the bird. XD

Deadpool: Yeah, all i want is work myself to beat Francis down, but i kinda felt like to bring them for my backup plan, because i always forgot to bring my stupid guns! XC

Yeah--

Deadpool: But luckily, i still have my lovely duo swords. :D

Thats what i though. Anyway, the special effects was pretty good to see the power from Warhead's ability and even Deadpool's regeneration body. Which i think you explained why you have a same mutant gene from Wolverine, right?

Deadpool: Well Duh!

Ah ok. The production is pretty good to look, especially that it has an hand drawn animation at the end credit.

Deadpool: and im also plan to make a sequel with my best friend Cable.

Yeah, i was aware from the announcement.

The characters
Im pretty sure you all know the main star of Deadpool.

Deadpool (aka Wade Wilson) was played by... *clear my throat* himself... He did a great job for acting with a tons of sense of humor with a lot of 4th walls and a sex jokes. He always made me watch his movie that i wanted. He made me laugh and smile. ^^   He did appeared in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, but its not a kind of Deadpool what we want to see, but im kinda ok for it. ^^;

Next is Vanessa Carlysle (played by Morena Baccarin. Aka Dr. Leslie Thompkins from Gotham). She pretty mush as a damsel in distress. But she may do an action, but i won't tell an example. Its kinda disappointed that i want to see her in action, but its all because of a cliche's story. Even though she did a great job for her role.

Then there's Francis Freeman (aka Ajax), the main antagonist in the movie (played by Ed Skrein). He's a member of Weapon X that he created Deadpool from torture. Even though i may never heard of him, but he may be an interesting character. But always tell Deadpool  that he prefers as Ajax than Francis, but meh.

Along with Ajax, there's Angel Dust (played by Gina Carano). Even though she's a stereotypical assistant to do whatever she does from Ajax, but at least she's pretty badass with super strength, stamina and speed. I mean, i was wondering if she's gonna fight against Captain Marvel, it will be an intense fight with powerful girls.

Deadpool: Me too, it will be a great idea for her!

We don't know if its true or not, because her movie is still in development.

Then there's two members of X-men, such as Colossus (aka Piotr Nikolaievitch Rasputin), a russian who has the ability to turn himself into a big metal human. (He was voiced by Stefan Kapičić and performed by Andre Tricoteux and T. J. Storm for a motion capture) I gotta say, he's an interesting character, he's big and hard of steel. Even though he's sort of play like Cable, but its a different story. At least Stefan had a good work of voice acting.

finally there's Negasonic Teenage Warhead, who's Colossus partner with atomic power. (Played by Brianna Hildebrand). In the original comic, she has the ability of precognition and Telepathy. But they decided to change almost everything, her personality, her backstory and her power. So, she's like a female version of Cannonball. Its kinda shame, but im ok for it.

And now for my--

Deadpool: Sorry Mr. Anthony, i felt like to finish the story by saying that i kill Francis to save my love Vanessa.

Dude! You spoiled it during my review! Its not fair!!

Deadpool: Whatever, its my movie, i wanted to explain how my movie is all about.

Oh my god, you're gonna ruining my review... XC

Deadpool: Whatever, you're pretty much being a crybaby as Uwe Boll.

*sigh* I hate you...

Deadpool: Oh, i hate you too.

Anyway, my final opinion of this film.
Overall, Deadpool the movie is a great movie, great acting, fun action, funny as hell and a well done production. But the story was suffered of cliche of a hero saving damsel in distress from Weapon X. I mean i really wish if there's a story about Ajax bring more of his members to taking over New York of Canada. But of course, it was considered a Box-office success in Rated-R superhero movie with $673.2 million.

Deadpool: Oh sweet! That means i earn a 600 million dollars! :D

Since i like Deadpool, i felt like to give this movie a 9/10. ;)

Deadpool: Aw man, you're so sweeeet for a big rating.  Wanna see me naked? :3

Wait, what?! Nonono--

Deadpool: *bring his image of him in naked*

Oh god-- *gag and start to throwing up in my barf bucket*

Deadpool: Hehe, hope you enjoy it and here's your new poster. 

Ugh... Why... *look at my "poster", that its a Deadpool version of my DA ID 2016*  Really?

Deadpool: Don't forget like and subscribe! Woopwoopwoopwoop *runs way*

*sigh* I better review a Disney movie...

To be continued???

Anthony's game review: Dragon Ball Xenoverse

Hey everyone, my name is Anthony and welcome to my first game review of 2016.

Have you guys ever heard of Dragon Balls? If you may not now, unless some die-hard fans know about, Dragon Ball is a famous Japanese franchise that was created by the great Akira Toriyama. It has a action, sens of humor and, likable characters and plenty of actions. And also fan-services (Sometimes...). The early Dragon Ball was an interesting to see, even it may or may not for kids, because like i said, some mature moments. But then Dragon Ball Z came in and it was soo damn good to see with a Holy $!#& moments, some funny moments and of course, more actions.

Ever since DBZ was so popular, it became a legacy with merchandises, special appearance of anime or manga, video games and even anime movies. Unless there's Dragon Ball Evolution, which its stupidly movie that what we got. I mean come on, only Japanese know how it works in DB universe!

Anyway, since i was looking for a video game, there's a tons of them that its either interesting, or some that are pretty crappy like Dragon Ball Z Sagas and even Dragon Ball Z with Kinect on XBOX 360. I was searching many of DB gems to think myself "Is there a good Dragon Ball games?". Well there's Dragon Ball Z: Budokai franchise that although they're rather good, but i've never play them. However, there's one game that i bought in PSN store that i really want to give a shot, that is Dragon Ball Xenoverse.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse is a 2015 game that developed by Dimps (The same company who made a biggest (if not) disappointed game of 2016, Street Fighter V with Capcom) and published by Bandai Namco Game. Its an RPG fighting game that was released on February 2015 for PC XBOX 360, One, PS4 and PS3 (that i got, until i get another one, but in PS4) and it was the first Dragon Ball game that it was released on current gen consoles like PS4 and XBOX One.

So can this game holds up for DBZ fans or gamers, or its gonna be a pretty bad one as DBZ Sagas? Lets find out.

Lets talk about the gameplay itself. Like i said, its an RPG fighting game in DB universe. Unlike any games that you play as Goku, Vegeta, Trunks or maybe Krillin? (anyone? Krillin???) You play as a customized character,whether its an OC or you can create yourself in the game. But customization character is not as interesting than WWE 2K games. There's no customized colors that you can make, option of sizes and even some of hairstyles. But you can chose a species for creation, Earthling, Saiyan, Namekian, Majin and Frieza's race. But they have some specials like when Namekian has a lower health, it regain not only health, but with stamina and when Saiyans has lower health, they regain their Ki power. Which its an interesting idea. :)

After customization, you started in hub known as Toki Toki City, there's three section, 1st there's a parallel quests and battle with online or single player. The 2nd is a multiple of shops to buy some outfits, accessories, skills and a few items for regain health, stamina, Ki powers and even healing your character. And the final one that has tournament room for a local battle and Online reception, there's one place that has thing for 7 Dragon Balls (You better find them that its either from quests or some bonus that you fight the other time patroller) and there's a portal to Time Vault, which is a story of the game. You can walk around to meet some NPCs and some Custom characters by players (either you check him/her for fav or look at its account). You can buy something that need to be powerful like outfits that has plus powers and minus powers or even by some skills that you wanted or some that are useless (Depends you felt like or not.) You can jump in the hub, why would like to jump around? I tried to jump over benches or other stuff, but it doesn't work from invisible blocks, so your jump in a hub is pretty useless, its just for a show. You can even chat or do your pose in online if you meet them. Not to mention, there's some characters of Dragon Ball that you familiar appears somewhere that its either a parallel quests or some that are your mentors.

Finally the main event of the game, once you select or keep going through your story, you're ready to fight. The control is depends if its your character doing great or not. For your basic attack, its obviously a weak attack and a strong attack. To do your skills, you have to hold R2 chose your buttons to use your special attack. You can even hold two triggers of your control that you can use your ultimate attack and some that its called Evasive skill which it uses with stamina. However, your special and ultimate attack are limited on your Ki meter. Your stamina is also limited for your meter like using a teleport behind your opponent, fly faster, getting up quickly and even Evasive skill. I mean, you will probably waste your stamina when you really want to beat a hardest quests, which most AI use their unlimited powers and easily beat you down. Its pretty frustrated to play when i tried some hardest quests. You better have to do grinding in the same quests to leveling up to boost your attributes like health, maximum of Ki and stamina, basic attack (which it use for you weak or strong attack.), Ki Blast super (Which i think it used your Ki damages) and Strike Super (Which i think it used for your special or ultimate attack's damage).

Despite the control is kinda basic, but it might be delayed, like when your opponent attacks you try to block yourself (And yes, you can block in the game, but i think it has a same button as Mortal Kombat), but it doesn't work that you probably think your controller is broken, but no its the delay or even your character doesn't wanna cooperating your defense from a multiple of Ki attacks. but sometimes your opponent will use their grab attack, combo breaker and even teleport behind you. If you wanna play with yourself against your opponents like more than 2, they'll easily gang up on you like a football players jumping at you while holding a ball all alone. The only way that you can defend yourself is to have "evil explosion" or some other ways to break free from your enemies. you really have to use it, but its limited of stamina. Because without them, you will die like 30 seconds. But thankfully if you beat the quests, you can retry it and pick your partners to easily beat the quest to have a higher rank, unless you're lucky to have more than 2. The AI may or may not be work. the NPC partner may or may not be work like being stuck in-front of the wall or even flying around on circle like a drunken dude who uses a jetpack around and around and you know what i mean... ^^; But the NPC enemy are pretty good and other times being overpowered.

For the type of gameplay quests, its either you fight your opponent to drain half its health or even try to hunt them down. But some are my favorite like try to hunt down a number of enemies or even finding seven Dragon Balls to your pod. Its pretty much simple, depending on the difficulties. However, the camera may or may not be good. If you're in lock-on at your enemy, its pretty obvious you have to face-to-face your opponent. However, the camera doesn't let you control it, it can switch to your other opponents. Which its gonna be annoying for whoever you fight anyone.

For the story, the plot takes place in Toki Toki City where everyone work as a Time Patrol, the city was created Supreme Kai of Time. Suddenly the demons come out to manipulate the timeline of DBZ sagas and even GT (only in DLC) to ruin the heroes. So Trunks (who works on Toki Toki City) grant his wish to make you appeared in the game (il explain it later...), its up to you to fix the timeline and fight the demons. I gotta say, the story itself is pretty interesting that you going back and help anyone to beat the bad guys like Raditz, Vegeta, Frieza and few others. Nothing else to say, its an interesting story to say... ^^;

For the game graphics, it looks great, it feels like it is on the anime, but with video game graphics. Speaking of anime, it has an anime cutscenes in the game like Trunks introduced you to meet Surpeme Kai of Time with her pet owl name Tokitoki, although its great, but it also have a sense of humor like in the show. I mean you feel like you're the show to save timeline with Trunks from the future, which it kinda feels like South Park and the Stick of truth. :D

Finally, just to give a fun fact that this isn't the first Dragon Ball online game and customized that we got, the first is Dragon Ball Online for... Well, online PC. Sadly, this game was only played in Asian Area like Taiwan, Hong Kong and South Korea and it was closed on September and October 2013 due to project of Dragon Ball Xenoverse's project.. Not before it brought back with an English translation. For customization, not only DB Online for the first time, the second one is Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Tenkaichi for PS3 and XBOX 360.

Overall, Dragon Ball Xenoverse is an interesting game i've ever played with my PS3. I did beat the story and even some sub-plot that has something about a wormhole and i need a redeem code card to buy a season pass to meet DB GT characters like Pan. However, not matter if its too much for a game mechanic, my game gets slower which i was nervous that its about to crash. Since i completed the story, i have seven more characters that i created, which i showed you in my Blogger. I might gonna by a PS4 version to not only do the same, but also play much better than PS3 version for a game mechanic and make more characters.Its simply fun, but again, its pretty frustrate to play a hard levels that you really want to unlock something.

Il give this game a 8/10. :)

PS: I eventually bought the PS4 version and its much better than PS3. The control of this game is work well, but still, it has a delayed problem for your special or ultimate attack. And im having a trouble of online connection, if its either a server is off or maybe my internet connection isn't work well for a WiFi. As for my daily gaming, i actually beat it and my first character in the game is the opposite gender of me named Annie (Who's Earthling). since i finished the main story, il keep thinking about my next idea of custom characters.

So this ends of my game review, if you guys have your opinion or suggestions, let me know in the comments bellow.

Thanks for reading, and im Anthony, signing out. ;)

Anthony's movie review: Star Wars: The force awakens

*few minutes ago that i walked off the movie theater*

... Wow... What a movie... 0_0

Hey everyone, my name is Anthony and welcome back to movie review.

If you guys are asking about my favorite culture, i am a big fan of Star Wars, like to talk about the characters, the weapons, the vehicles, the planets, the story and a lot more. I remembered the first episode of Star Wars during the Christmas in the late 90's and i though it was awesome. And looking back when i grew up, i can understand why it was a major disappointed (Because of Jar Jar!! XC). And of course, i was about to watch the original trilogy, i have to admit, it was classic that we all know and love back in 1977 to 1983. Then in few years after the prequel trilogy, many fans wanted more Star Wars since few other Sci-fi movies is either ok or running out of ideas. But not until Disney came in to purchased Lucasfilms for a billion dollars to have a plan for making the sequel trilogy. As well with many workers left LucasArts for making a new Star Wars movie. Many people have a mixed opinion, some people like the idea to bring back and some people didn't like because of a billion dollars bet. And finally in 2015, we're watching many of trailers of The force awakens, which they picked up by Guinness World Records. And finally, it came out on December 18th 2015 and everybody going in a movie theater for our anticipation. i went in cinema in 2 days after the release, because my parents have an off day in every Sunday.

So, can this movie make the force's stronger, or is this movie turned into another disappointment since the prequel? Lets find out.

The story

It takes place 30 years after Return of Jedi, however, Luke Skywalker is vanished somewhere. Just then the dark force is back know as "The First Order" they're plan is to taking the galaxy with their planet with a biggest laser canon called "Starkiller Base". Meanwhile, Finn, a former stormtrooper, really wanted to escape along with his missing pilot friend name Poe Dameron, but he was stranded in desert planet called Jakku and meet Rey along with a missing droid name BB-8 for a plan. Just then, they flied with a Millennium Falcon to stranded ship, where they meet Han Solo and Chewbacca for a plan to bring back The Rebel Alliance to stop The first Order. Along with Leia Organa, C-3PO and even Admiral Ackbar (Its a trap!).

I know most people said that the story is similar to The new hope. But its sound like it, but completely different. Even though i kinda miss the old planet, but i think i like the new planets. At first, i though its about searching for Luke Skywalker, but i was wrong, its all about saving the galaxy from the evil force. And the ending, i don't wanna talk about it, because the final act is a total shocker... 0_0 

So, im ok for bring back the similar story from the very first Star Wars. ;)

The production

I gotta say, the cinematography looks outstanding with a great work of CG. I mean, it feels like Star Wars in reality a bit. I like the new design of stormtroopers, the backgrounds and the effects of the sounds and the weapon design is great to brought back from the past. Its like a next gen of the original Star Wars development. Plus, i like the new X-wing design and it was called Incom T-70. Here's a fun fact, this new X-wing was originally to be in the original trilogy, but got replaced by the classic X-wing (aka Incom T-65 that we all know and love), so the producer decided to bring the original concept back in 2015. Its also great to see the famous Millennium Falcon back with a new radar after the old one got broke off from the battle of the second Death Star. Finally, the camera angles is pretty good, its like we're flying with a jet fighter with X-wings and Tie-fighters flying and shooting each others, in other words, its like we're flying roller coaster in movie theater, without moving chairs.

The production is freakin awesome to watch in 2015.

The characters

We're all familiar with the original cast, Luke Skywalker is a final jedi of the galaxy, Leia Organa is princess of Rebels, Han Solo is a famous smuggler, Chewbacca is Han's Wookie partner and C-3PO and R2-D2 is a famous droids. But right now, everything was changing after 30 years. Han's is still a smuggler, but looking for his long lost kid. Leia Organa is now working as a General of Rebels, C-3PO is still there without R2, because it was deactivated due to Luke's disappearance. So we got the return of the original cast out of the way, lets talk about the new characters.

First up is Rey (played by a British actress name Daisy Ridley), she's a scavenger of Jakku's small town. I gotta say, Daisy did a great job playing the character. Even though i never heard of her. ^^;

Next up is Finn aka FN-2187 (played by John Boyega), he's known to be a former stormtrooper, because he really want to leave The first order, because he cares about peaceful Galaxy than dark powers. He's yet another interesting character in the movie, despite we don't know about his full name, since he worked as stormtrooper.

Then there's Poe Dameron (played by Oscar Isaac), a skilled X-wing pilot of Rebels Alliance. For me, i find him a pretty cool character. Even though he's a supporting character which he was disappeared after landing crash with Finn on Tie-fighter. Which i though he was shortly killed off, but nope, he's sruvived and rescued by the Rebel's ship. Or maybe he's mysteriously using a teleportation device. ^^;

Finally there's BB-8, when i first saw it, i was like "Who the heck is that?", which it was supposed to be a replacement of R2 (almost). I gotta say, BB-8 looks pretty cool with ball shape droid with a lot of accessories. Plus, it was used as an remote control robot and used it on CG a bit. At least some people who controlled BB-8 did a good effort.

Now lets talk about The First Order's members.

First is Kylo Ren (played by Adam Driver), the main antagonist of the movie. All i gotta say is, wow, he looks pretty damn cool with his outfit and his mask. And before, i was expecting to be a ruthless. Well, he's sorta like that, but no matter how many times it fails, he cause nothing but a frustration to destroy anything with his famous Crossguard saber. And he's also brutally strong with his force like stop the laser beam, stop the body of victims and he even uses mind reading force. At first, i though he's gonna be a man in a machine, but im might be wrong that he's a human. Plus, you can see his face not once, but twice. Why? watch the movie if you wanna know. Anyway, Adam did a great job to play as the main antagonist. Depsite he's not a big fan of wearing his mask for his role... ^^;

Next there's Leader Snoke (played by Andy Serkis, aka Gollum from Lord of the rings), when i saw him, i though he's a huge looking character, but he appeared on hologram. However, he has no more appearance, because all he does is looking how The First Order going. In other words, will see him at next episodes... ^^;

Finally there's Captain Phasma. At first, i though its a man in a cool chrome stormtrooper suit. But i was very wrong, it turned out Phasma was played by Gwendoline Christie. In other words, its a woman in chrome outfit... Oh well... ^^;

The acting in this movie was great, especially with the original cast, its great to be back. ^^

And now for my final opinion of this film.

Overall, Star Wars the force awakens is incredible to watch in the movie theater. Interesting story, great characters and outstanding cinematography. Ever since i watched the final act, i was very shocked from some part, but i won't talk about it more, because of spoilers. Its really nice to bring back a classical Sci-fi. Incredibly awesome movie of 2015.

For my rating, il give it a perfect 10/10. This is the second review with a high rating since Inside-out. Definitely a Must Watch movie.

So this ends of this movie review...  Man, i've been reviewing the movies of 2015, i talked about some good movies and some that are... pretty crappy... ^^;

I will like thank you guys if you enjoy my review of 2015 (depends..), so i can't wait to see some new movies of 2016. So thanks for ready, Merry Christmas and im Anthony, signing out. ;)
