Movie Review: Cars 3

Notice: This review starring my OC instead of fictional myself. Readers discretion is advised.

One day in GP Australia, Anthony is driving with his MP4/4 and he's in the lead for his chance of winning. But after driving in Turn 1, his tire (on rear right) is getting damaged from the speed that causing him to losing his control, not before he was being hit and lift in the air from a random driver in Lola THL1, not before Anthony hits the ground and rolling off from the track from a dramatic impact crash, causing him to nearly passed with horrible injuries with broken right elbow, broken ribs, broken left knee and nearly broken toes. The marshals pull him out of his car and call the ambulance for rush to a hospital.

*meanwhile, on B.E.915's house*

Bryan Emmerich (aka B.E. 915): Oh my god...

Mystica: Goodness...  I've never seen your friend has a horrible crash with his old school racing car.

Bryan Emmerich: Yeah, it nearly remind me a film that we saw yesterday, which is Cars 3 that we saw.

Mystica: Yeah, but at least our hero is safe from a horrific crash.

Bryan Emmerich: Yeah, so im pretty sure we can do a review, which i like to do it for my friend.

Mystica: What review?

Bryan Emmerich: About Cars 3 that we saw it, which i like to share my opinion and explain about the movie.

Mystica: Ah ok, so go ahead and review what we saw, hot-shot.

Bryan Emmerich: Thanks. ^^

Hello everyone, my name is Bryan Emmerich and im here to take a review for you guys.

From a few years ago, after Disney purchased Pixar for a billion dollars to become a parent companies, Pixar made "Cars", a movie staring Lightning McQueen, who's a selfish racer who likes to win the race for his fans, until he gets a learn and respect to becoming selfless and good heart. And when "Cars 2" came out, its easily one of the weakest film that they ever done that i don't like it.

But not before after several years, when they announced Cars 3, everything was changing...

"Cars 3" is a 2017 animated film by Pixar. It was written (for story) and directed by Brian Fee, produced by Kevin Reher, written of screenplay by Kiel Murray, Bob Peterson and Mike Rich, and a written of story by Ben Queen, Eyal Podell and Jonathan E. Stewart.

At first, many people didn't appreciate for the third installment of Cars, but when the trailer show up, it went shocked and kinda depressing. Which i was unexpected when Anthony and i saw it. Even though i wish if Anthony watch this movie after the race, but no...

Anyway, will this movie will be good than two previous films, or is this film that its gonna be a like a fatal crash?

Well, lets find about about it.

The Story

For years, Lightning McQueen has been racing in Piston Cup a while that he won some races and have fun with his opponents. But in one race, he was been overtaken by a newcomer named "Jackson Storm", which resulting a lot of change, rookies are hybrid racer and some veteran who's going to retire of their racing career. On one faithful race in California, McQueen was struggled to catching at Storm, but he suffered a horrible crash from his rear tire. After four months, McQueen was depressed when he got lost that he looked back from the past from his late mentor Doc Hudson had a great performance before he retired from the crash, however, he receive a call from Dusty and Rusty (the former owner of Rust-Eze) to bring McQueen in the company that it was sold from Sterling that it become "Rust-eze Racing Center", until he meets Cruz Ramirez, a racing technician that she wishes to be a racer like McQueen as a fan of him. So not only McQueen has a choice for retire or coming back of racing, but also training with Cruz to become a professional racer to dealing at Jackson Storm.

I gotta say, i find it to be an interesting story. Even though that i know, is that the story feels like "Rocky" films, which at first our main hero went in bottom from the damage, then goes to a training montage for a comeback. But instead of boxing, its obviously about racing. Even though it has an element that if our hero lost, he'll forced to be retire from the damage, i mean sure we know for our life from a new technology of racing, but we always want to win the event. There's a subplot they McQueen and Cruz went into "Thunder Hollow", which it happens to be a Demolition Derby, even though its not only a training, but also a risky decision. Which i though this scene is a filler, but its plot purpose. The movie focused a lot of explanation from the past about Doc Hudson, its interesting and sad at first, but it feels like we're missing the main plot to dealing against Storm.  and for the jokes, its was funny from the beginning, later on, the jokes may or may not be worked.

Though the story is actually good, even though its almost like a Pixar version of Rocky.

The animation

I gotta say, the animation is...     Well, what do you expect that this is Pixar. But as we know that we're in the sequel, it has to be upgrade for new quality more concepts. The animation of this movie is nicely done and colorful, thanks for a character designs when we see the race. If you may not know about the concept of the films, John Lasseter was fascinated of racing like NASCAR ever since when he was young and he wanted to make a movie of racing. And the character designs was originally that the eyes was located on the headlights, but it changed that the eyes is in windshield, which i like that concept unlike some others with a cheap anthro car designs. The background of the road, the Rust-Eze apartment and the track looks fantastic that we feel like we're in our racing fantasy, i like those concepts.

The production and the animation of the movie looks pretty cool and beautiful location.

The characters

If you guys haven't seen the first one, il give you a small development.

Lightning McQueen (voiced by Owen Wilson) was started being a selfish racer who likes to competing in Piston Cup, until he chnaged for being selfless, caring and respect for anyone.

Mater (voiced by Larry the cable guy) is a comical tow truck and McQueen's best friend in Radioator Spring.

Sally (voiced by Bonnie Hunt) is a love interest of McQueen and...   Well, she's a cute looking Porsche 996.

And there few others on the list, but i don't want to make too much, cause i like to introduce our new characters.

First we have Cruz Ramirez (voiced by Cristela Alonzo), Although McQueen is a main protagonist but kinda forgotten, but for Cruz, i like her. She's not only considered to be a fan of McQueen, but she's also dreamer, because she wanted to become a racer, but she started as a technician and a trainer from her favorite racer. Plus, she's fun for her appearance in the film, despite she has a difficult practice for racing. I like Cruz, i mean the could focus about her, even though its all about training to competing against Storm.

Speaking of Storm, there's Jackson Storm (played by Armie Hammer), he's a main antagonist in the film for his arrogant and probably a powerful rookie when he was first introduced. He's like a combination of Clubber Lang and Ivan Drago from Rocky films, for rude and strong racer. But he only has small appearance for only in the first act and final act (Well, almost in the second act.). This guy is such a beast for a hybrid racer and a quick record. He's pretty damn cool, even if he could make more appearance what he was wondering about McQueen.

Then we have Sterling (voiced by Nathan Fillion), a rich business man of Rust-eze Racing Center. To me, he's just a business man to make a decision for McQueen for his either continuation of racing or retirement for endorsement of ads. Although Nathan did a nice work of his role, but the character is rather forgettable.

There few others in the list like Smokey (voiced by Chris Cooper) who's a former mechanic and a chief crew, Miss Fritter (voiced by Lea DeLaria) who's a one scary monster bus of Demolition Derby and...   Lewis Hamilton playing as fictional himself for voice command?  Well, this is the second time that the  3-times F1 champion was in Cars films.

The characters in the movie some are quiet enjoyable, even though some are not as good for the role.

Now, its time for my conclusion.

Cars 3 is probably superior than three others, even thought if it may not be a better film than the upcoming Coco. The story is not bad, the animation is well-done and the characters are quiet above average. Despite that it could've add something more interesting than borrow the similar story element of one of famous boxing movie from the 70's. and perhaps some characters would've done good like Sterling. If you're a fan of Cars, i think you're gonna enjoy this movie, you can give a shot that the movie has been change for hybrid cars and dramatic. If not, well im pretty sure you could find some movie involving racing.

Oh btw, you're probably wondering about my thoughts of Pixar's "Lou"? Well... I find it pretty bellow average, its a nice concept, but i've seen it better. So, 3/10.

Anyway, il give this movie a 7/10.

Well, im done for the review, if you guys are appreciated the review, have some suggestion, let me know at the comment bellow.

Thank you for reading and until next time.

*Review ends*

Mystica: Well, that was interesting, you've been talking about for almost an hour, right?

Bryan Emmerich: Yeah, its almost like if i wanna be an internet celebrity for a hosting a review.

Mystica: Hm, interesting.

*meanwhile, in Australian GP's track*

Corporate Driver (driving with Benetton B194): *drives in second place from a slight miles behind of James Lauda (who's driving with Ferrari 641)* Im gonna win the race since that Canadian bastard has lost the race that i hope he's dead!

Not before Corporate was being rear-hit by a Danish racer Brent Ketersen (who's driving with Lotus 98T), he was angry at him for his unmasked from 2 years ago.

Brent Ketersen: *hits Corporate's rear again* You're gonna pay for my dignity...

Brent keeps hitting him, but not before CD's car has been rear lifted and sticking from a Danish's car. It may be a revenge, but it might a dangerous action that Brent's car is losing control from a broken suspension. The two cars is going faster and go off the track, Brent proceeds to jumping off the track, but he hurts himself from rolling, causing him with broken left shoulder and tilted ankle. Corporate Driver was panic that he got stuck from Lotus, as he was trying to jump off his car, but it was too late that two cars are crash on the barrier and causing an horrifying crash where Corporate Driver has his arms crushed and his legs are tearing off.

This causing a red flag for the second time (since Anthony's near fatal crash), but this time, the race was ended after 40 laps (Even though the racing lap was 45.). James Lauda was finished in the first place, while others like Marko Irwing (with Williams FW12) in second place and Samantha Chilta (with Tyrrell 020) in third place.

*Back to Bryan Emmerich's home*

Bryan Emmerich: Jesus, i've never seen anything about a big fat crash...  I hope Brent is ok when he nearly sacrificed himself...

Mystica: I bet so. and what about Corporate Driver?

Bryan Emmerich: Don't ask about him, i think he deserves to be suffered for how arrogant, manipulative rich he is...

*Back to the track again*

Secretary Driver: *runs to see Corporate in panic feeling* Sir? Sir?!

Corporate Driver: *lays on the ground with torn legs and broken arms and screaming of pain (Despite he's still wearing his helmet)*

Secretary Driver was yelling in panic for help, the security runs at them for help and calling an ambulance for also taken to a hospital. Once the ambulance arrived, they're trying to pick him to the vehicle, but Corporate keeps crying in agony from the crash, until it drives away.

*Back to Bryan Emmerich's home again*

Bryan Emmerich: Well... I guess we better go for...  maybe take a walk to get off a traumatizing crash in special event?

Mystica: I guess so.

Bryan Emmerich: Ok. *gets up from the couch* Its to take a walk for a-- *opens a door, but there's a cardboard box in front of him* Hm? Why is the box in front of my home?

Mystica: Hm? *gets up and sees a box* Did you got a delivery?

Bryan Emmerich: Im not sure i did it, il guess il find out to open it. *grabs a box and opens it, but not before he was surprised* Oh my goodness...

To be continued...

Movie review: Wonder Woman

Anthony: Hmm... *throws a comic book of "Guardians of the Galaxy 2" away* I guess il go to the other direction. *picks up "Wonder Woman 2017"* After three movies of disappointed and one is the worst, i hope this one will be good.... *opens a book*

*2 hours later*

Anthony: *feels surprised* That was...      Actually better than three previous films...!



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

Last years, i watched "Man of Steel", "Batman V Superman" and "Suicide Squad", which all of them are in absolute disappointed, even though Suicide Squad is my guilty pleasure, but understand that its bad. But Man of Steel and Batman V Superman are just a joke of disappointment for no development and poor cash-in of DC universe films.

After three films, i was nearly losing my hope for other DC films, but not before we have two other DC films will coming out this year. That is "Wonder Woman" and "Justice League". But first, we'll start with the famous Amazon in her film.

"Wonder Woman" is a 2017 film that was directed by Patty Jenkins, written (for story) and produced by Zack Snyder, other producers for the films with Charles Roven, Deborah Snyder (Who's Zack's wife) and Richard Suckle. other writers such as Allan Heinberg (for screenplay and story) and Jason Fuchs...?! (for story)    Who the heck names him as "Jason Fuchs"?!  I've heard the name a lot ridiculous like Fred Fuchs. That really starts to bothering me during a research...

Anyway, this is a type a film that when i heard about her movie, i was hoped that its gonna be a good one. Even though if you're familiar with Wonder Woman if you read the comics, TV show from the mid-late 70's or even some cartoons by my favorite creator Bruce Timm. So now we finally have her own live action film that we're highly anticipated.

So, with all that said, will this movie holds up for our favorite Amazonian, or is this film was suffered the same problem from before?

Well, lets find out.

The story
It begins in present time where Prince Diana received an old photo from the past, which it goes to an origin of her. She was created as a clay from her mother, before Zeus stroke a lightning at her to make a birth of Diana herself. As she grew up, she started training to become a warrior of her land Themyscira. However, an American pilot/spy named Steve Trevor was stranded in Themyscira from the German (Which this movie takes place in world War 1). Because of World War, Diana believes that Ares the God of War, is still alive when he was defeated by Zeus. Its up to her to leave her land to dealing not only Ares, but the Germans in the war.

At first, i though that its gonna be one of the film with no explanation with more action. But no, they've done better, which they finally made a setting development and stuff. Which we have the origin about Ares or the Trevor's flashback before stranded in Themyscira. I like how the movie starts in Diana's home land before going to World War 1 to showing her beginning, which we finally get the character development, but il get to that later. But my small nitpick of the movie is that it began in the present time for a bit, not until it goes to a huge origin, i mean they could just put an entire past instead of a big fat flashback from the present time, but thats just my opinion that i don't like.

Though the story is interesting for her origin, even if the movie started where she worked in Wayne's Enterprise.

The production
Before we have our film, Wonder Woman's movie was suffered a hell development, which it was first started back in 1996, it was originally that Ivan Reitman was a producer and possibly a director and Diana was supposed to be played by Sandra Bullock with a flawed personality. But again, the movie had a hell development with a multiple of change of scripts, directing, production and actors. That is until Patty Jenkins, Zack Snyder and other crews took over the development in 2015 and picked up Gal Gadot to playing as Prince Diana, but they brought her in "Batman V Superman", which is not only stupid or misleading, but its way too soon before she got her own stand-alone movie.

Anyway, the production of this movie looks pretty nice and well done. Its worth noting that it was filmed somewhere in Europe like UK, Italy and few others location. The action sequences was fun, intense and pretty entertaining, even though its hard to question like whenever the enemy shoots at her, since she uses her bracelets as a bullet protection, like why can they shoot other than her wrists? But its obvious that she has a quick reflex for her protection with her bracelets. Speaking of outfit, as i saw her outfit in "Batman V Superman", i think her outfit is pretty damn cool and beautiful, which it fits very well as an Amazonian warrior unlike her classic leotard for "America!". Don't give me wrong, i do like her classic outfit, but i like her outfit in the movie. Although the CGI effect was nicely work, but other times it feels a bit video game-ish, like during the flashback scene of Ares dealing against everyone and the gods.

The production is well-done, even if the CG feels slightly cheap.

The characters
Unlike any other films in DCEU, this one has a development that we can finally know and like.

First is Diana Prince, aka Wonder Woman (played by Gal Gadot). Unlike in Batman V Superman who appeared without any likability, here, it made look good and probably likable. She's strong, brave and other times curious.  Even though she might be desperate that she wants to stop the war to bring peace in Europe, which it may sounds a bit immature. But the downside is not just the character, but the Gal's role. Im not saying she has an acting problem, which she did a nice job, but she had an issue of her life. Its because she was pregnant, this means that they had to reshooting and put a green cloth all over her belly to avoid her pregnancy. Pretty ironic for the post-production...

Next, we have Steve Trevor (played by Chris Pine, aka Captain Kirk from Star Trek). As we know, he's a love interest/sidekick of Diana. Being a pilot and spy of America, he's know to be a bit sneaky, nice and a little bit awkward for his difficult explaining (Like somebody needs to give a bottle of water and a lasso of truth for his...   Well, Truth.). Even though i never notice who play as Steven, but i've never noticed that he was played by Kirk. But still, Pine did a nice work of his role.

And we have Sir Patrick Morgan (played by David Thewlis). Even though i never know who he is, but he's a nice character for his plan to dueling against German and some villains with deadly gas. I've not much else to say, but David did a nice work of his role.

There're few other character in the film, especially with Steve's partner like Charlie, a Scottish former sniper of PTSD (played by Ewen Bremner), Sameer, a French Moroccan con-artist and a secret agent (played by Saïd Taghmaoui) and maybe Etta Candy, who's a friendly British (played by Lucy Davis). 

They also include the Amazonian like General Antiope, who's Diana's aunt (played by Robin Wright) and Queen Hippolyta, who's not only the queen of Amazonian's land, but also Diana's mother (played by Connie Nielsen). I expected that the Amazonians could make more appearance to wondering about Wonder Woman or any plan for a backup, but nope, they're only appeared in the first act and they're never to be seen or mentioned ever again (Perhaps they'll come back in "Justice League.).

For the villains we're looking for, we have Ares, who's a god of war. I can say he's a badass looking villain, but he was kept secret unless in final act. They also have other villains like a fictional Erich Ludendorff (played by Danny Huston) and Doctor Poison, a poisonous chemist with deadly gas and a better look than the comic (played by Elena Anaya). But the two villains are rather forgettable, they're more like a secret henchmen.

Though the characters are good and probably well-developed, but some characters could've doing better in the film.

And now for my final opinion of the film.
Overall, after three movies of disappointment, Wonder Woman's finally a movie that is good. With interesting story, well-produced and some good characters. Even though the opening sequence of present time could've get rid of, some CG are not as good realistic of quality, which im aware and some characters would've make a good development. But the movie has suffer a controversy that some of you guys all know.

Aside of censorship in Lebanon, the movie theater in Austin, Texas is doing something soo bad that its just outright sexist, they put the film in the theater and put a sign that women are allowed to watch the movie, not for men. Like seriously, its just ridiculous and stupid for almost every men in Texas, they could just give a chance to watch it, but no, they went to say "F*** you boys! Only girls have to watch this movie! :D". I mean for F*** sake, there's no reason to be sexist for the opening theater film! I swear, if they do the same thing for other superheroine films in other theaters, il be pissed even more for sexism...!

Despite the flaws of ban and sexism, its actually superior film DCEU. If you're a fan of Wonder Woman of DC universe, i recommend to watch the film. It may not be perfect, but still, its a good movie. And il be waiting for their next film for few months later such as "Justice League".

Il give this movie a 7.5/10.

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

Thanks for reading and im Anthony, signing out.

*review ends*

Anthony: Well, i guess im done with adaptation of comic book films, well kinda.  But now... *opens his phone for a calendar for the event with "Vintage F1 in Australia"* I guess im ready to going in the country for my racing plan. *bring his bags to going in airport for Australia*

Mini-review: King Arthur: Legend of the sword

Notice: This review has no connection of storyline review of 2017. Readers discretion is advised.



You know, there's been many of legend tale films out here that we remembered like "Narnia" or even "Lord of the Rings". But the one was considered to be a classic story is "King Arthur". a story about a legendary warrior who lives with a mentor name "Merlin" about the sword is stuck on the stone. As he picked up the sword known as "Excalibur", he become a brave warrior and later on, becoming the king to fight against the war lord. This legend story was so classic that it has been adapted and inspired, from movies, cartoons and more.

But the one that i saw is "King Arthur: legend of the sword", a fantasy epic film that was directed by written (screenplay), produced and directed by Guy Ritchie. Its one of the film that i was curious to see, but i changed my mind that i watched "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2". But i went in activity club to see this movie to give a shot.

For the story, it begins on the flashback that Arthur has been raised by the prostitutes, when his parents was murdered by Mordred. As he grew up, he become a skilled warrior and he pulls an "Excalibur" off from the stone, which he was being imprisoned for that?  But not before he was being rescued by his friends and setting up to fight the iron fist with Camelot.

Yeah, the story is rather forgettable, its as if they're trying to follow the main plot for Arthur dealing against the evil army, but then it got slow and wasted with some filler. Another thing thats not good, is that it doesn't have relation of Arthur and Merlin, instead Merlin was replaced by a female nameless mage, which i find it ok, but not that good.

The production of this movie is pretty cool, with nice location (despite some filming location was done in CGI) and an incredible action sequences. But sometimes it got tacky, especially the movie got randomly editing from the past or forward moment, like stop trying to skip or going back, it drove me confused. The most annoying of all of this movie is the overuse of "flashback", like we get it, Arthur's parents is killed, we need to moving on to a war. And finally, they including monsters, which all of them are either average or even ugly design that feels like an old generation of video game.

And the characters are rather average, Arthur (played by Charlie Hunnam) is rather an interesting hero, the mage (played by Àstrid Bergès-Frisbey) seems to be a bit forgettable for little bit of less appearance, but she has a cool ability of possessing animals and the main villain Mordred (played by Rob Knighton) is an average villain. And the rest of the characters are rather forgettable, including "Blue" who's an annoying kid that i wish he'll die.

Although the acting is good, but most of them couldn't saved from this movie.

In the end, its just a poor attempt of adaptation film based on the legendary tale. It was so bad that it became a box-office bomb with less than a hundred million dollars, since they produced the film with 175 million dollars of budget.

So for that, i give it 3/10.

So thanks for reading and im Anthony, signing out.

Movie review: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

Anthony: That was close for-- *sees a comic book on the floor* Hm? A comic book? *picks up one book* "Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2"? I never seen the first one, but il guess il find out in this sequel. *opens a book to read (or watching a movie)*

*2 hours later*

Umm...   It was.... Ok...?



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

Well im going back to Marvel Cinematic Universe to take a look one of the fan favorite of franchise a long with Civil War and few others you like, is "Guardians of the Galaxy". Although i never seen the first one, but many people enjoyed this movie with great actions, funny and likable characters for a fun performances.

When the first one was successful for critical acclaim and great box-office, they made a sequel for an exciting anticipation. With the result....  It was kinda different.

"Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" is a 2017 Marvel superheroes film that was written and directed by James Gunn and produced by Kevin Feige. This is one of the film that its not anticipation, but more likely a curiosity, despite that i never seen the first one.

So, with all that said, will this movie will be a good sequel, or is it gonna be obscure from far away of the Galaxy?

Well, lets find out.

The Story
It takes place in 2014 after the first film, Star-Lord, Drax, Gamora, Rocket Raccoon and Baby Groot work together as the titular group. The leader of Sovereign race, Ayesha tell them that she brough Gamora's sister name "Nebula", who's a prisoner who attempt to stealing batteries. Once they left, but Rocket stole the batteries for his plan, which resulting Ayesha very mad to sending her armies to stop them and hiring Yondu Udonta, but they escaped. Meanhwile, Peter Quill (Star-Lord) meets a mysterious father named "Ego" along with Mantis where he raised her, Ego wants to have a family reunion to his own planet. Peter accepts that he, Drax and Gamora come together to Ego's planet, while Rocket, Nebula and Baby Groot will be in the planet to fixing a ship, not before they're being captured by Yondu's crews.

So yeah, i find the story is getting splitting up, which i was rather confusing and perhaps cliche. Its due to the fact i don't know who's the main villain of the movie, because i had a hard time to thinking for the story. And they brought a "father and son relationship" in the movie that doesn't help out for Ego and Star-Lord. And there's a rivalry of Gamora and Nebula, but i find that its just a waste of time with filler. Though the story story with the escape from the evil crews with Rocket and Groot was interesting and funny, but couldn't make it quicker from a 2 hours film. As for the jokes, it still there that i find it funny.

The story is probably average at best to describe, its as if Gunn was trying way to hard to make it creative, but not too good.

The production
Good lord, the production of this movie was amazing and colorful. I really like how Kevin was done for the concept with colorful space, creative background and a well-done makeup (Especially with Drax). The background design in Ego's planet looks pretty nice and colorful, especially the flashback egg-thingy that it kinda reminds of Krypton's ship with a flashback from "Man of Steel", but more colors. And like the first film, at least i like the design of Rocket Raccoon, which they're trying made him look like a realistic raccoon rather than playing silly of cartoony, which im glad they done it. But like Suicide Squad, they played some songs that you may or may not familiar with, but at least they some songs that i never heard of. But my tiny nitpick, is that they played "The Chain" by Fleetwood Mac two times from the first act and the final act, they could've play some song from the trailer like "hooked on a feeling" by Blue Swede or David Hasselhoff (Maybe not the last one, but it would've been a nice pick for Peter Quill, since he's like a fanboy of David.).

The production is a fantastic job for beautiful backgrounds and nice design. Despite they should've play "Hooked on a feeling" in the movie than the trailer. Just saying.

The characters
Im sure some of you are familiar of  members of "Guardians of the Galaxy". But if you never heard of them like myself, il try my best to describe and giving my opinion. Even though we have some new characters in the film.

First is the leader of the group, Peter Quill aka Star-Lord (Played by my favorite actor, Chris Pratt), originally a human alien thief of "Ravagers", he's a type a guy that we love for his personality and some culture reference, but not too much as Deadpool. However, i get the feel that he's went down a bit in this movie, but i won't tell the truth for spoilers. Despite that, i like Chris Pratt's performance of the leader of the group and he's always my favorite.

Next we have Gamora, a daughter of Thanos (played by Zoe Saldana), she's known to be an assassin for seeking redemption and trained by her father. Although she's supposed to be a love interest from Star-Lord, but its obvious she's more like an anti-hero of the group, she's strong independent and badass alien girl. Beautiful aside, i find that she's a pretty cool character, and yes, its the same atress who played "Uhura" from J.J. Abram's Star Trek.

Third member is Drax the destroyer (played by the former WWE superstar, Dave Bautista), he's a highly skilled warrior to looking for a fight at Thanos for his family's death. Even though that he used to be a bad guy, but i think he's also an interesting character of this movie. Despite of badassness, but he's actually pretty funny in the movie.

Fourth member is Rocket (voiced by Bradley Cooper), he's an alien anthropomorphic raccoon bounty hunter with a mastery of weapons and military tactics. Even though he has a similar personality like the first movie, funny and cranky, but he's sorta become mentor of Baby Groot (Since i think the first Groot was sacrificed. Again, i never seen the first one, but spoiler?). He's yet another likable character in the movie, he's not only cute, but also pretty badass with his guns.

finally there's Baby Groot (played by Vin Diesel), he's pretty unlikely than the first film. But sure he has the ability to planting his arms to beat the bad guys or other times he's just doing nothing. Even though he's just a kid, but i wish he could've get more action. And i've nothing against Vin Diesel, he's a badass actor since he's decades with Fast and Furious films. And no, i never seen "The Fate and the Furious".

Finally, lets get some new characters.

First is Ego (surprisingly played by Kurt Russel), he's a mysterious ancient being that he;s supposed to be a father of Quill. Although i find pretty strange that he's a planet human being, which he created his home planet by himself. Even though he couldn't avoid from "father and son" cliche, which im not sure if he fits in with Star Lord. Despite the flaws, Kurt did an interesting performance over the years of his career, probably better than his role in "Man of Steel".

Next we have Mantis (played by Pom Klementieff), she was raised by Ego and she has the ability of Empathy. She's a type of character who's lonely and kinda depressed, i kinda felt bad for her. Even though i find her kinda creepy since she looks bug-eyed, i guess its they're trying to be look like human-like bug for a face, but im sure if she's either cute or creepy. Even though i never heard of Pom, but i think she did a nice work.

Then there's Yondu Udonta (played by Michael Rooker, aka... Merle Dixon from The Walking Dead?), who's a buccaneer and the leader of Ravagers and he's supposed to be a fatherly figure of Quill. What i heard, they're trying to be a bit look like in the comic, whether you agree or not. At first i though he has nothing to do with the plot, but i was wrong, he was the leader of the group that he was looking for Guardians of the Galaxy. The funny thing about him is that he has the ability of manipulating arrow with whistles, i find it strange, but ok? Despite of questionable casting choice, Michael did an interesting job as a leader of the group. I mean i wouldn't expect if Marvel studio bring Norman Reedus in MCU, just saying.

Next up, there's Nebula (played by Karen Gillan), she's an adopted daughter of Thanos that she's supposed to be a sister of Gamora. Even though she has a hate relationship of her sister. She seems to be a bit similar to Blackfire, who's an evil sister of Starfire for her power. But Nebula was likely an anti-adopted sister that she wants to kill Gamora. But my problem, is that she's rather a filler that it has nothing to do with a main plot. Sorry Nebula, im not sure if you're likable in the movie.

And finally, there's Stakar Ogord, aka Starhawk (also surprisingly played by Sylvester Stallone), he's also an interesting character in the movie, he's an high rank of Ravanger and an history with Yondu. Although he did a great acting, but my problem is that he has less appearance, he appeared in the first act and final act. Talk about a waste inclusion in the movie.

They're a few other characters like Ayesha (played by Elizabeth Debicki), who's a queen of her races and...  Taserface (played by Chris Sullivan) *snicker* Whats with his name... X3

The characters are quiet good in the movie, but some are probably a waste of space for either filler or even a waste of appearance.

And now for my final opinion of this film.
Overall, "Guardians of the Galaxy 2" is probably an above average film, the story is not that great, the production is well done and the characters are great and some that are forgettable. I maybe agree with my friend or something, that i should've watch the first one before the sequel, i know its not easy for my curiosity to see this movie. If you like Guardians of the Galaxy, maybe its for you, if not, just stick to the first one.

Il give this movie a 6/10. It may not be watchable, but its rather averagely entertaining.

So this ends of my movie review, but im not done with comic book movies, because next time, il going back to another one, but in DC universe film that i hope it will be better..

And if you have your opinion or any suggestions, let know at the comment bellow.

Thanks for reading, and im Anthony, signing out. 

Movie Review: Ghost in the Shell 2017

Anthony: I wonder whats inside? *opens the box, which resulting that he was sucked in the box to the other dimension* What?! What the heck?!

*As Anthony leaves the alleyway, it turns out he lives in the future city*

Anthony: Wow... This is a huge place... *looks around* I've never seen how cool and futuristic it is...

*As he he's going to walking around, he sees an agents walking together, as they scan for a cyberterrorist*

Anthony: Uh oh...  I think i better stay away from these guys. *goes back in the alleyway as he didn't get sighted by the agents*

*After waiting that they walk away, he was relieved that nothing happen. He tries to find the other way, but not before being caught by a cyborg who looks like Anthony (named "Impostor Anthony"), but his face is nearly reveal of robot and naked with his black brief*

Anthony: Ah!! *got jumped back from impostor of himself*

Impostor Anthony: *grabs his throat and looks at his face for scanning. After that, he was in fact a human* ...

Anthony: O-Ok...?

Impostor Anthony: *pushes him down* Worthless human being...

Anthony: W-What??

Impostor Anthony: You're look like me, worthless bastard! You'll made my new plan that il be hiding forever that the security Section 9 will easily catch you that they'll believe that you're a cyberterrorist...!

Anthony: N-No! I didn't do anything like escaping from the factory of memories or something. Im just an innocent person, i don't want to be arrested or killed! I... *looks around, before he sees a right door of movie room* I... I can do anything for you!!

Impostor Anthony: Anything for me?

Anthony: Y-Yeah, i mean... We can go to the door on the right that we can have a conversation for a plan or something, right?

Impostor: Hmm...  Very well, human being...

Anthony: Um, its Anthony, thank you very much. *opens a door that he and the impostor entering the room and turn on the light that there's a futuristic film projector of "Ghost in the Shell 2017"* Hm? There's a film projector. *walks toward it* Looks pretty interesting, i wonder if the major or other agents can come to the room to see this movie.

Impostor Anthony: Don't even think about it...  The Section 9 will never found us, unless if there's a woman major who's a smartest.

Anthony: Huh?

Impostor Anthony: No time to explain, start the projector, Anthony...

Anthony: Ok, lets see how this movie goes... *starts the projector to watch a movie*

*Several hours later*

Hm, that was...  Honestly good.

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

Back in the old days, Hollywood is always like to cash in to making movies based on Japanese works like Manga and Anime. But most of them are pretty bad that it should not be exist for the fans. *cough "DragonBall Evolution" cough* Even though some that might be good, like Guyver: Dark Hero (since i saw it in "Brandon's cult movie review".).

Later on, they decided to cash in to making a movie, based on the Japanese Sci-Fi classic with a humanoid cyborg.... of Black Widow...

Ghost in the shell 2017 is a Sci-fi action film that was directed by Rupert Sanders, produced by Avi Arad, Ari Arad, Steven Paul, and Michael Costigan, and written in screenplay by Jamie Moss, William Wheeler and Ehren Kruger.

This film was considered to be based on the manga with the same name by Masamune Shirow. However, i believed that its like a remake from a 1995 anime movie. Even though i never read the manga or the anime, its just i was a little bit familiar, not before i stumble the live action remake with Scarlett Johansson. Back then in 1995, the movie was considered to be a best Sci-fi anime movie with fun action and great characters. Ever sine it was succesful, they made an anime show called "Stand Alone Complex" and "Arise". Like i said, even though i never seen this franchise, so maybe il watch in the future.

So, with all that said, will this movie make a good appeal for American viewers, or is this type of film that was tricking us that we never seen the 1995 version by the hackers?

Well, lets find out.

The Story
It takes place in the near future that the humanity are augmented with cybernetics for strength, vision and intelligence. It the beginning, on Hanka Robotics, doctors found a body of a woman for the experiment to integrate the brain on the mechanical body. Once the experiment is completed, we introduce a woman who's revived named "Mira Killian" (Don't worry, il get to that later.) that she was into a cyborg and being picked up to join as a major in Security Section 9. One year later, Major Mira was on in the objective to finding a robotic geisha for hacking a victim for hacking. Which it turns out that the geisha was manipulated by mysterious entity named Kuze. Its up to Major to finding him to stop the threat.

Even though i know that it was different than the original movie, but i find it ok for that. I like the concept of an anti-terrorist group dealing against the cybercriminals in the future. Even though was a little bit slow, since it has almost plenty of subplot, like explaining about the cyborg and where Major sees a flashback that i don't know what has to do. Which the flashback didn't happen until later on. But the one thing that made me confused is the mention that Major lost her family that they drowned of death and she nearly survived before become a cyborg, which is kinda annoying for we want the focus of finding hackers rather than explain about the backstory.

Although the story is good, even though it has a flaws from the subplots of mentioning flashback if its this or that.

The Production
Unlike the previous film which is obviously a hand drawn anime, this one is a live action film and i gotta say, it looks beautiful. The concept of the city is amazingly colorful, especially it has a butt-load of hologram, they're all over in this place. The background that they film is a nice location choice and the designs like futuristic cars is damn cool. The action scene is pretty intensely cool, with gunshots and a fists fight with stealth, it was a fun and entertaining to including a nice visuals. The character concept is nearly like in the manga, although they look good, especially with Major in naked, which im glad they didn't show nips and vag, although in the anime version kinda has a nips. But the one thing i don't like, is the they film of close-up of Major, especially with the interrogation scene, it used more than five times like stop showing Major's face, you made feel like being hypnotized!

The production of the movie is fantastically done, but i just can't help but nitpicking about Major's close-up.

The Characters
Now im sure some of you may familiar of these characters in the series. However, they have some flaws for a lack of developments.

First, we have or main protagonist herself, Major Mira Killian (played by Black Widow herself, Scarlett Johansson), she's knwon to be strong, highly intelligent and strong-will. In this movie, she's considered to be emotional and emphasis when she was reborn as a cyborg. However she has flaws, first up, i don't like that her name was changed to "Mira Killian", which it doesn't work for the change that we all known that its "Major Motoko Kusanagi", which her name didn't happen in the beginning at all. And fanilly that im sure you know whats happening, since Scarlett is picked up to playing a cybernetic major, it went into an outcry of controversies that idea is plain "whitewashing", meaning that Scarlett is portrayed as a Japanese character, since she's a Caucasian. As for the Japanese thoughts? Well, they're fine for her role. Some say that its not as important for a franchise's theme for her look. Some others saying that the Japanese worshiping white people, instead being sensitive. In other words, they claimed that Scarlett's role is a good choice of casting. For me, im on Japanese side, which not only thinking she's fitting for her role, but she did a great job for her role. So seriously, over-sensitive fanboys, you need to chill out and except the Japanese's opinion.

Next we have Major's sidekick, Batou (played by Pilou Asbaek), he's best known to be a secondary agen of Section 9, he's heart-warming, funny and a kind of guy with no BullS*** personality. In the movie, im pretty he's pretty much like in the anime. Although he shown normal with human eyes until he got cybernetic eyes. He's an cool looking guy and Pilou did an interesting work of his role.

Then we have a big boss of Section 9, Daisuke Aramaki (played by "Beat" Takeshi Kitano, who's an actor, director, author, screen-writer, producer-- Ok, how much business he took back then?). He's portayed as either calm or a serious chief of security anti-terrorists. Although he did have some action and he's the only one who only speaks Japanese in the movie, which im fine for that. Although Takeshi is an interesting man for his role. Its either that or i'd rather play his own game called "Takeshi's Challenge".

Next, we have three of them in Hanka Robotics, one is Dr. Ouelet (played by Juliette Binoche), Mr. Cutter (played by Peter Ferdinando) and Dr. Dahlin (played by Anamaria Marinca). These guys are supposed to given some development about cybernetics, but they're rather forgettable. Ouelet is sorta portrayed as a mother-personality, Cutter ic a CEO with demanding and Dahlin who's a consultant who literally smoking in the department (I mean, didn't she learn from a warning sign?). Although Juliette and Peter did a nice work, but couldn't be safe for lackluster role.

And finally, we have a main antagonist, the puppe-- Er, i mean, Kuze (played by Michael Pitt). This is one a big example that its different than before. In the anime movie, the main villain is "The Puppet Master", who's a cybernetic manipulative hacker for taking over the city. But in this movie, they changed the villain to Kuze. Which he was from "Stand Alone Complex", that he's a terrorist. Anyway, he has a similar portray "Puppet Master" for taking over the city. Despite of change, i like his design that he looks badass to showing that he has less human skin, even though he's stuttering (since he's a cyborg). I find that he's rather interesting, mysterious and rather manipulative.

Although some characters that are interesting, even though some of them are not as likable for a development.

And now for my final opinion of this film.
Overall, this movie is honestly good. With not bad story, amazing productions and some characters are enjoyable and the Hanka workers are easily the weakest. Although its not easy to pick which one is a better adaptation film of Manga/Anime, but this one is rather good in my opinion. Even though the story is different that the fans are disappointed and the casting choice of Scarlett Johansson created a controversies of racism from these over-sensitive D***heads that they want her to be replaced by a Japanese actress, but the people in Japan defend Scarlett's role that its a nice casting decision that i rather accept to them. So for my favor for the fans of the series, just watch the 1995 film or even "Stand Alone Complex" to calm the hell down, if not, shame on you for how sensitive you are. But in my opinion, its not a bad movie, its almost like a guilty pleasure film, but more like a slightly above average film.

So, il rate this movie 7/10. It may not be watchable, but you can give a try if you never seen the 1995 version.

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

Anthony: Huh? *looks behind that there's Eric Blakron, Marian Blakron, Bryan Emmerich, Zelia and Sniping Jackson* What happen to you guys?

Zordon: *appears in computer screen with his face* Greetings, everyone.

Anthony: *sees him* Oh hello?

Zordon: I am Zordon, your mentor of Rangers.

Anthony: Rangers? We are the Rangers?

Zordon: Exactly, you're been chosen by us that we need your help, because from 10 thousand years ago, i fought Rita who disguised as a Green Ranger to stealing the gems called "Zeo Crystals" when i dressed as a Red Ranger.

Anthony: But you're just a hea--

Zordon: Don't ask, please. Anyway, Rita was escaped from the dumpster with her minions. But because im just in a computer, which Alpha 5 made me sacrificed to stop Rita.

Alpha 5: Yes, its all my fault to kill you, ayayayaya...

Anthony: Yeesh, talk about dark backstory to lose a leader of Rangers.

Alpha 5: Indeed.

Zordon: We're giving you a "Power Coins" that you'll become a "Power Rangers". *gives a coins to them that turning into "Power Rangers 2017", except for Anthony, which be comes original Green Ranger*

Anthony: *in original Green Ranger* Wow that was-- *sees Eric Blakron, Marian Blakron, Bryan Emmerich, Zelia and Sniping Jackson in reboot outfits* Hey, why can't i wear a reboot version than this?

Zordon: Because we can't find the new one out there, sorry.

Anthony: Crap...  Any other problem aside Rita or whoever?

Zordon: Apparently, she's not the only one who's going to taking over your world, she's with a man named "Corporate Driver". *opens the screen to shows that Corporate with with Rita for a plan*

Anthony: What the?! My nemesis is working with her!?

Zordon: You know him?

Anthony: Yeah, its that idiot that he likes to manipulating to make all of our stuff of anticipation into either disappointed or the worst to make money for himself.

Zordon: Oh...  Anyway, we're giving you weapons to fight the enemies, *gives blaster at them* This is you power blaster, where you can shoot with powers. *gives lance to Bryan* This is your power lance, a weapon of Great Power... *gives a sword to Eric" This is your power sword, key all the weapons of power...

Anthony: *earns a "Dragon Dagger"* Wow, thats a cool looking dagger. Also, why you keep call all these weapons to "Power"? Its almost like a dr--

Zordon: Don't ask for that... Anyway, but the biggest trick is that Rita can also summon creatures into bigger size, you must call upon the robots called "Zords" to fight them, unless you can combining together known as "MegaZords". As for you, Green Ranger, you can call yours named "DragonZord" with your dagger as a flute.

Anthony:*looks at the dagger* Huh, thats strange, i have to call my machine with a dagger as a flute?

Zordon: Yes. But unfortunately, we don't have time for that, you five can go and fight the minions.

*Five rangers accept and teleport away in various location to find the minions*

Anthony: Wha-?! What about me? Why can't i go out there and beat the heck out of them?

Zordon: You have to stay here. Because you have your own mission, you objective is to review a movie that it came out three days ago. *change the screen to shows "Power Rangers 2017" movie*

Anthony: Oh yeah, the review. Well, ever since im familiar with "Power Rangers when i was young, lets see how it goes.

*2 hours later*

Anthony: *double facepalms* Oh... My...   God...    I can't believe they done Fucked it up...

Alpha 5: Not in good mood of this movie?

Anthony: No...!!

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

Back in the 90's, we're always familiar with "Power Rangers", the series starring the teenagers become a "Power Rangers" to save the world from the evil threats of Rita Repulsa and Lord Zedd. The show was considered classic for kids and also for adults, and it still on to the day. Its also mention that it was originally created from Japan called "Super Sentai", but it was introduced from 1975 and like our show, it still going on to this very day.

Ever since it was popular your younger fans and maybe an adult fans, it was planned to be a reboot film. Now im sure some people gave a mixed opinion that it may be good for doing similar from before, or other times that they'll go "Oh my gawd!!! Don't do a reboot, it hurts my childhood!!!". Prove it, fanboys, you have to find out when the producers show their concept for our anticipation, but it could be worse...  *cough "Ghostbusters 2016" cough*

Power Rangers 2017 is a reboot film that was directed by Dean Israelite, produced by Haim Saban, Brian Casentini, Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey and written by John Gatins (for screenplay), Matt Sazama, Burk Sharpless, Michele Mulroney and Kieran Mulroney (four of them for story).

Its one of the film that we're anticipating to see this after 20 years from the show came out. Even though i never seen "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers". And after all, this is the third Power Rangers film. There's "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie" in 1995 and "Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie" in 1997. But neither of them aren't great.

So, with all that said, will this movie will be exciting for "Morhpin Time!", or is this film that it'll be banished in the dumpster for thousands of years?

Well, lets find out.

The Story

It begins in the flashback where Zordon is a Red Ranger, but fallen along with his partners, due to the fact that Rita (Who's shockingly a Green Ranger) betrayed him for capturing the coins called "Zeo Crystals" for her power. However, he banished her in the water, but sacrificed from a meteor. Fast forward in present time, we introduce the teenagers, Jason, Billy, Kimberly, Trini and Zack, they lived in the school of Angel Grove. However, when they going to a mountain and cliff, they discovered the Zeo Crystals, which it gives them ability. Once they jumped off the cliff, they visited a lost spaceship that it was on underground (which i believe it should be a Command Center.), they meet Alpha 5 and Zordon that they heard about Rita was coming back from the dead. So its up to the teenagers has to training to become a Rangers.

I find it a good story for an opposite direction, i like where the teenagers discovered something before visit their center for a help. Even though it has some filler where Jason was confronting one bully, i guess it supposed to be a bit like in the show where they meet Bulk and Skull, even though these two dorks are not in the movie. But the biggest problem of the movie is that it has less action, which its because it focused more about the teenagers development. I mean yeah we like to know who they are, but we like to see some action, especially in Power Rangers form, but it never happen until the final act! I mean, oh my Fucking god...! Talk about a waste of time, its basically like "Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie", but in reboot version.

Although the story is above average, but do you think if this movie should focus with action in morph, but no, we gotta wait for it for more than one hour.

The production

Despite the story is just a waste, but at least the production is pretty nice. The filming location of Angel Grove is an interesting location what we looked at. As for the spaceship in underground, i find it pretty cool, the morphing center is interesting and the training room is basically a cave room that i find it "Really?", but at least its not as silly like the Command Center was located in Vasquez Rocks by slapping an image on the top of the rocks in the show. The Power Rangers costume looks impressive, although it looks like futuristic version of outfit of "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie", but different, especially with a center of galaxy look-a-like on the torso. The Zords are a bit look like the original version, but different, not a bad design, i like it. For Zordon, although it was done with a face motion capture, but i think its an interesting concept that he appears from a computerized wall thingy. But sometimes it can be a downside concept, like for Alpha 5, unlike in the show that he's in the human size and colorful lights, here he's small, less colorful and rather ugly quality, especially with adding yellow eyes. The Megazord design is rather average at best, but i not gonna tell how it lookds for spoilers, along with Goldar. (Kinda, since it showed for a second in the trailer.) 

Although the production looks pretty nice, even though some of the concept isn't that good what we have.

The characters

You expect that the characters could be likable of attitudes?  Well....  Its a complicated story for them.

First is the leader and Red Ranger himself, Jason Scott (played by Dacre Montgomery). Unlike in the show where he's a martial artist with jock persona, he's a former football player and a risky person for a dangerous prank. And later on, he got changed into rather smart and understandable to become a leader. Although i never heard of Dancre, but i think he's rather likable in the film. Even though it doesn't help for a wasting story.

Second Ranger is Billy Cranston, who's a Blue Ranger (played by RJ Cyler). Unlike the show where he's Caucasian, here he's an African American, i guess its because they're trying to avoid a controversy of racism for a Black Ranger. Even though he's a nerd (perhaps), he's an autistic in the movie. But he's just plain awkward for his development, especially that he's also a cringe-worthy comic relief. He's just plain unlikable in the movie that its just embarrassing. And no, im not racist, but the personality doesn't work for changing a personality.

Third Ranger is Kimberly Hart, who's a Pink Ranger (played by Naomi Scott). Although she's a former mean girl (not sure why), but she's a gymnast that she shown in meditation. Even though she can be risky for her life, like where she cuts her hair in the school after ended her mean girl personality. Its also mention that she's going to be a love interest of Jason. Even though she's slightly like in the show, but i kinda think she's rather interesting. But like i said, she couldn't be safe from this movie.

Fourth Ranger is Trini Kwan, who's a Yellow Ranger (played by Becky G). Unlike in the show where she's calm and environmentalist, here she's considered to be a Lesbian. That might be a first time in Power Rangers character with LGBTQ personality, but its only the movie, which i find it to be a disturbing choice. However, she's rather a lone girl, mainly because of her family problem what she's done. Im not sure if she's likable or not, i find her pretty boring. She could've be nicer in the film.

And the fifth and final Ranger is Zack Taylor, who's a Black Ranger (played by Ludi Lin). Like Billy, unlike in the show that he's black, here he's an Asian. And also rather than a fighter with dancing style, here he's a bilingual and a school truant for adrenaline. Its also mentioned that he can do a parkour and had a problem life that he lives with his mother who got an ill, which i find it to be pretty cliche of mother in sickness. Although he's not bad, but im not sure if he's likable or not.

For the support, with have Alpha 5 (voiced by Bill Hader, aka Fear from Inside-Out.). Aside from a questionable design in the movie, but he's actually less annoying than the show. He's rather like calm and he can transform for random purposes. I think he's likable in the movie, although he's a bit cheesy, but at least he doesn't get annoying.

Then there's Zordon (surprisingly played by Bryan Cranston, aka Walter White from Breaking Bad). Although he's a former Red Ranger from million years ago, but he's known to be a mentor. Unlike in the show, he's just flat out rude at the Rangers, as if saying "Look teenagers, if you wanna be a Rangers, you have to do a training. Cause you don't, then get you stupid ass out of our ship and jumping off from Vasquez Rocks, you spoiled Fucks!!". I mean Jesus hell man, talk about nearly overreaction at the Rangers! He needs to chill out and respect, or otherwise he'll be unlikable in the movie.

And finally we have a main antagonist, Rita Repulsa (played by Elizabeth Banks). Unlike in the show that she's in the dumpster for 10 years with silly design with cone boobs and an over-the-top obnoxious personality with screechy voice. Here's she's rather dark and pretty damn creepy. Like in the show, she's a power hungry that she wants gold to creating Goldar, especially where she ate a golden objects (Creepy fetish much, Rita?). Although Elizabeth did a nice work, but i can't help but thinking about her concept that she looks like what if she's a sister of Loki from Thor.

The characters are not as great what we expected, but some that i kinda like.

And now for my final opinion of the film.

Overall, the best way to describe this movie, its just bellow average. With time wasting story, some bland characters and the pace is rushed in the first act, but it gets slower and slower in the second act. This is a type of reboot that it needs a few action moments to make it fun and entertaining, but this is just flat out slow and boring that we wanna see the teenagers in Power Rangers. This movie is so wasted that i'd watch either Batman V Superman or a Shitty Ass Ghostbusters 2016! If you guys wanna see this movie, i don't know if you're gonna like it or not. Its just a waste of time and disappointed.

Thats why il rate this movie with 4/10.

Good fucking lord, i though two previous Power Rangers films are bad, but this one is easily a biggest disappointment of childhood. But at least it has a charm then Ghostbusters!!

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

Thanks for reading and im Anthony, signing out.

*Mecha-Corp approaches at DragonZord for punching at it, but got blocked by grabbed by a Green Zord, resulting to use a tail smack on its face, causing Mecha-Corp nearly falls and demolish a building*

Corporate Driver: Argh!!

Anthony: Yes! Take that, money making monster! *does a random quick poses in speech*

Corporate Driver: you want demolish, how about rockets! *press his buttons to blast his rocket missiles at DragonZord*

Anthony: Woah!! *causing DragonZord walks back after getting hit from missiles*

*Meanwhile, MegaZord defeated a monster with a brutal stab with a Mega Power Sword and sees where DragonZord got attacked by Mecha-Corp*

Bryan (Blue Ranger): Oh no, it looks like Anthony is getting assaulted!

*Mecha-Corp punching numerous times at DragonZord, until it uses a charging punch on the torso that DragonZord jumps back and falls on the ground (with more demolish in the city) in front of MegaZord*

Anthony: *groans*

Eric (Red Ranger): Do you need a backup?

Anthony: *gets up* Yes, i think i need it for...   what do you say we can do a extra combination?

Marian (Pink Ranger): What do think of that?

Jackson (Black Ranger): I think it will work.

Zelia (Yellow Ranger): It will be much stronger for us.

Eric: Alright! You ready, Anthony?

Anthony: Right! DragonZord, combining Mega form! *This result that DragonZord goes behind Megazord to do a combining into "Mega DragonZord" and he joins the cockpit of Megazord* Here i am!

Eric: Good to see you, Anthony.

Anthony: Thanks, its time for our epic showdown!

Rangers: Ready, Fire!

MegaZord (in MegaDragonZord form): charges and shoots at Mecha-Corp with big Z ball to destroying it*

Corporate Driver: NOOOOO!!!!! *gets hit by a beam and causes to get destroyed and Corporate has no choice, but escape his robot with his parachute pack*

Anthony: Yes! We finally burn the robot to the ground!

Bryan: Or burn in the air since it can fly.

Anthony: Well, maybe that.

Corporate Driver (with his parachute): *holding a phone that he got argue by Rita for his lost* I tried Rita, i wanted to kill that Candian freak but i failed for-- *get interrupted from Rita that he's considered to out with her* Im no longer with you? Well screw you and goodbye!! *hangs out* Fucking cone tits bitch...!

*Few minutes later*

Zordon: Great work Rangers, you've completed your mission to defeat a monster and even Anthony's nemesis.

Anthony: Np, pal. However, we're not sure if we can stay as a Rangers, we're more likely focus on our own rather than morph into a Rangers.

Zordon: Ok, i guess we'll won't bother you if you guys can morph or perhaps fighting in your version. So come back if you want, Rangers.

Anthony: And maybe i can get a reboot Green Ranger?

Zordon: Im afraid to say, no. Because its only for a girl. So im afraid that you'll no longer become of it.

Anthony: Ok, i guess it makes sense. So, does that mean i can morph into a White Tiger Ranger?

Zordon: Not sure, you'll wait in the future. So thank you Rangers and maybe come again.

*few minutes later when Anthony come back home*

Anthony: Whew, that was a crazy adventure. I guess il take a break for my work. *but interrupted that he sees a delivered box*
