*review started*



Hello everyone, i am Ryan Blackonne, and this is a movie review.

From the early 2017, we had a second Lego movie called "The Lego Batman movie" and it was quiet good.

So, they decided to make another Lego movie, this time, it was based on Lego's franchise called Ninjago. Its series where the ninjas with elemental power to facing against the evil force, and it became favorite for kids to having a cartoon and even a film that what we have.

"The Lego Ninjago Movie" is a 2017 animated movie that was directed by Charlie Bean, Paul Fisher, Bob Logan, produced by Phil Lord (and) Christopher Miller (the famous duos since "The Lego movie") and Dan Line and written by... *looks at the list in the wiki* Wow... Thats a lot of writers of screenplay and story...!

This is one of the film that everyone was curious that they made a movie based on the toy company's franchise that we never heard of, or maybe its because they wanted to make another movie to be better after "The Lego Batman Movie".

So, with all that explained (kinda), will this movie will holds up for the franchise, or is this film that will easily be overshadowed by Batman?

Lets find out about it.

The Story
It begins in the old relic shop from a kid who visited here, not before he meets an owner named "Mr. Liu". Which he was telling a legend about the "Ninjago". In the legend story, the ninja heroes dubbed "Ninjago" is the savior of the city with giant robots against Lord Garmadon. One green ninja's secret identity named Lloyd who's ironically a son of Lord Garmadon, which he difficult life, since everyone is not appreciated from his evil father. But one day, Lloyd and his ninja friends surprised for the return of Sensei Wu. Wu tells them stop against Lord Garmadon with the "Ultimate Weapon", but it was a laser light that Lloyd uses it, which cause a big incident, which the laser light itself is summoning a big real life cat. Devastated for the incident, Lloyd revealed that he's a green ninja and walked away from his evil father for his meltdown. Its up to Lloyd and his partners to find a second one called "The Ultimate, Ultimate Weapon" to save the city.

Even though its just a Lego movie for a strange story, but this one is probably the weakest. Which the main plot is probably wasted, due to the fact it focused to much about a father and son relationship. As if Lord Garmadon was desperate to telling about to his son Lloyd. I mean come on, we already got "The Lego Batman Movie" where it tells that Batman want to focus on his own, since his parents was killed from a gunman, not until he's sorta like a father to Robin and wife of Barbara Gordon/Batgirl. But in Ninjago movie, it feels like its all over the place for a filler. They could've take a bit of a time to mainly focus about The Ultimate Weapon 2.0.

The story itself is pretty forgettable with a mainly focus about an evil father and good son, which its almost like it was borrowed from Star Wars "Return of Jedi". Though the first act is like a fun start, while the rest got bored pretty easily.

The Animation
What can we say about it? They did a great job for the animation of the Lego. With stop-motion like and tricky animation for the limbs of Lego figure. The facial animation was obviously done with 2D, but they did a nice work, especially with a tears of Lord Garmadon. The background and design looks pretty cool that its almost like what if Lego make a big budget product for kids, it will be like crazy.
While other animation than Lego like water and other stuff was also nicely work to make it a bit realistic. But the animation of a cat seems to be a bit unrealistic, although it looks cute and somewhat playful, but the design looks slightly cartoony and the movement is maybe would've done better if they learn how any cats behave.

The animation itself is pretty good, since we saw two previous Lego movies.

The Characters
Its not easy to tell which characters are likable, cause its gonna be a complicated story.

First we have Lloyd Garmadon (voiced by Dave Franco), who's a leader of "Secret Ninja Force" and a son of Lord Goarmadon. He was nice and probably a big loser for the citizens due of his father and his lack of meaning of his color green. Which we expect he would've be nice a respectful to everyone, but no, he's basically a loser leader of the Ninja. Though Dave did an ok job for his voice acting, but the personality of him and relationship are rather poor, which we really wish if he could fight against his evil father.

As for the rest of his ninjas, they're not bad, even though they have a typical personalities, like Kai (voiced by Michael Peña)  is a hothead red ninja, Jay (voiced by Kumail Nanjiani)  is a calm and cautious blue ninja, Nya (voiced by Abbi Jacobson) is a strong silver ninja (which maybe she's an interesting one?), Zane (voiced by Zach Woods) is a robotic white ninja and Cole (voiced by Fred Armisen) is a laid-back and music loving black ninja.

Then for the so-called "Villain", named Lord Garmadon (voiced by Justin Theroux), he's an evil ninja who lives in a volcano to taking over the city of Ninjago. Which it would've been interesting. But the big problem is that he's way to connective to his son Lloyd (aka "Laloyd" as he liked to pronounced him, which is kinda funny, but true.) for the past, which its just a waste of portrayal what he supposed to be than the original franchise. But sorry, he's easily the most forgettable villain in the movie. But his appearance looks pretty cool and kinda creepy though.

But the one character who's maybe likable is Master Wu (voiced by Jackie Chan), who's not only a master of The Secret Ninja Force, but a nephew of Lloyd. Though he's wisecracking, but he has a plot development about the ninjas for powers and death. Though he may have some problem, but Jackie Chan's role of Wu is probably a nice choice.

They're afew other characters out there, like Lloyd's mother name, who's rather....   Well, a mother. And the rest is not much else.

The characters in the movie are not as likable to watch, since Lord Garmadon way too conective to Lloyd for development. But except for Master Wu, he's rather interesting, thanks to Jackie Chan.

And now for the conclusion of the film.
Overall, "The Lego Ninjago Movie" isn't a good movie, i mean it would've been ok to releasing it on Netflix. With complicated stories, forgettable characters and the lore of Ninjago franchise feels like non-exist, even though its only a lore of the world of "Lego movies". Though the animations looks great and the jokes may or may not work to laugh. If you're a fan of Lego or Ninja, maybe this one is for you. Cause if not, i don't recommend to watch it.

Il give it 4/10.

Well, thats all for the review. If you guys have your honest opinion or even request of review, let me know at the comment.

Thanks for reading, Blackonne out.

*review ends*

Eric Blakron: That was interesting to explaining about it.

Smasher: Yeah, im--

News reporter (on TV): We're here to report that there's a figure who's wearing a purple outfit with a purple energy sword who's ridiculously strong that he killed all the innocent people...

Marian Blakron: Oh my gosh...

Blackonne: Holy hell...

Smasher: I guess we better stop that mysterious man wearing a mask.

Eric Blakron: Yeah, we better teaming up to--

*The TV around the world was hijacked to reveal a mysterious figure with a mask*

???: Greetings, humanity...

Eric Blakron: What the...?!

???: My name is Obsidian...  Lord of "The Shattering Gems"...    I come from other world...   To taking over the world... To extinct the humanity...   With not only my soldiers...  But also my important Apprentice named "Dark Amethyst"...

Smasher: Ok... This is getting to far for that! But how the heck did he--

Obsidian: We captured one man who's going to be our chosen one...   Despite that he's a human being, but we changed his life as a hybrid and making him much stronger than any gems or humans...

Marian Blakron: *starts to feel nervous* Oh no...

Obsidian: And now... All you humans will prepare to die with our power and your Earth, will be mine... *evil laughs*

Eric Blakron: That Bastard!!

Ryan Blackonne: That guy named "Dark Amethyst" is gonna be a lot complicated for his speed and probably nearly indestructible.

Smasher: But, what are we gonna do now?!

Eric Blakron: I don't know...

To be Continued...

Movie review: The Incredibles

DISCLAIMER: This review has nothing to do with a storyline movie review of 2017. Readers discretion is advised.

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

As time goes, Pixar became a masterpiece of animation company for a computer graphic movie, from Toy Story 1 and 2, to Finding Nemo. 

Which in 2004, animation companies are probably behind of Pixar for a difficult challenge. Dreamworks is doing above average with good films like Shrek 2 and flop one like Sinbad. And for Disney, its a long story, because they're trying pretty hard for their success, but didn't work out. Even though it was a time that there's a drama between Disney and Pixar for a near separation from expired contract.

Despite the drama, there's a film that it was a success, but without John Lasseter or other people behind of Pixar, but this time, with a man behind "The Iron Giant".

The Incredibles is a 2004 animated superhero Pixar films that was written and directed by Brad Bird and produced by John Walker.

This is the film that it came out five years after "The Iron Giant", which Brad Bird wrote and directed his film, since it was based on the book "The Iron Man" (Yeah, i guess it explained why he changed the name to avoid a confusion from Marvel's comic.), but ended up with a big flop from the lack marketing campaign, that it ended up with a blame.

That is until John Lasseter came in to ask him three times to come with Pixar for a movie, Brad accepted it and join in with his project for his redemption.

So, with all that said, will this movie will be "super success", or maybe "Super Flop"?

Well, lets find out.

The story

It takes place in vintage time of 50's or 60's. Where the people with powers known as "Supers" are a crime-fighters in the city, including Mr. Incredible (aka Bob Parr), ElasticGirl (aka Helen Parr), Frozone (aka Lucius Best), etc. However, things start to going down that after Mr. Incredible save a man who attempted to committing suicide and stop the train from explosion rail, it results a lawsuits and a boycott towards "Supers" for damaging the civilians. After 15 years, the "Supers" remain obscure for retirement or probably death. Bob Parr married Helen to have a children, Dash, Violet and Jack-Jack. However, he was in business as a white-collar job at an insurance agency, but didn't work out for his temper from his boss, causing it to losing his business. Later on, he noticed a computer message from a mysterious lady named "Mirage" that he was chosen to travel to the island called "Nomanisan" to dealing from a tripod robot called "Omnicdroid". But it was revealed to be an evil plan from a former fanboy named Syndrome (aka Buddy Pine) that he wants Mr. Incredible for his side. Helen was devastated from her husband's capture, she needs to go to the island (along with Dash and Violet unexpectedly) to not only save Bob, but also stop Syndrome's plan of taking over the city.

I find the story itself is pretty cool and probably understandable, since we like to be "Supers" to saving everyone from the beginning, but the people in the city will may or may not be pleased us, with suing in the court or even get banned from the city or in country for risking the damage for the monuments or even their lives. But coming back from more than ten years retirement will be an awkward story for our age or even overweight.

However, that idea that Brad Bird came up from his difficulty life of his career and family from the 90's, since he was struggled with his bombed film, which its also understandable, despite his film was a cult favorite.

There's a subplot where Bob Parr meets a costume designer Edna Mode (aka Mrs. "No cape!".) for the change of supersuit and explaining that having a cape is a risking-life from previous heroes who's either injured or dead. Which although i find it funny, but probably agree, because having a cape is a like a death trap for "out-of-nowhere" obstacles or strangles. Despite that, there's also scene with a reunion of Helen and Edna that she made a costume for not only Mrs. Parr, but also her kids because their powers Edna noticed the truth from Helen.

Ad for the gags in the movie, i find some moments are pretty funny (despite of risking from superpowers.), like the scene where Bob lost his temper from his crappy car or probably our favorite moment, is where Lucius asking his Honey for his Supersuit that it was missing that he was asking two times with "Where is my Supersuit!?", it always made me laugh and no matter how many times i replayed it.

The story itself is pretty good for the difficulty life of family or superhero and nice settings

The animation

What do i have to say for Pixar? Its another film with great concept and quality, even though it came out thirteen years ago. The concept and the design of the movie has a nostalgic feel, since it takes place in vintage era of superheroes, even though it has a few of futuristic design, but hey i like what they made. The concept idea was an inspiration from the artwork of Jim Steranko (best known for the comic of "Nick Fury: agent of  SHIELD"), which i like how he came up of nostalgia. Even though he was originally wanted to do a hand-drawn movie, but it didn't because Pixar is a work of CG films. However, they claimed that it was the hardest film ever made, with water, hair effects and design (since Monsters. Inc.), the character/costume designs, fire, random smokes, superpowers/gadgets and even explosions. I mean, i probably feel bad for the crew members for their struggle of the animation, but to be fair, they put a lot of effort for the effects and stuff.Even though some of the character designs look kind strange and some are pretty good, but hey, it was an inspiration from a vintage artist of Marvel comics.

The production and the animation of this movie is well-done and well executed, even though its one of the most difficulty work in Pixar film.

The characters

I can tell with these characters, they're pretty fun and likable.

First is our main hero, Mr. Incredible, aka Bob Parr (voiced by Craig T. Nelson). He's a father of Parr family with super-strength and limit of invulnerable. Although he's somewhat independent, but he's known to have a bit far from his family for going back as a hero or even losing his temper for his problem like injuring his boss before getting fired or even his old car (Although his temper kinda is funny.). Despite his issue, he's always an interesting hero and Craig did a nice work.

Next is Bob's wife, Helen Parr, aka ElasticGirl or better known as Mrs. Incredible (voiced by Holly Hunter). With her former nickname suggest, she has the ability of stretching her limbs, torso and sometimes shape-shifting as a parachute. Although she's a typical mother, but i think she's quite interesting as Bob, she's somewhat intelligent, feisty, humble and likable. Which i guess i could say that she's a favorite. Even though she has a same problem as Bob, being retired after fifteen years kinda gain a weight to make her feel awkward for her comeback, especially for her new outfit for her butt. (I can't help it, cause she's kinda hot though. ^^;) Despite that, i like her along with Bob and Hunter did a nice work of her role.

As for the kids like Dash, Violet and Jack-Jack? 

For Dash (voiced by Spencer Fox), who's a son with super-speed. although he's self-less, but he's mischievous, kinda cocky and pretty quick. Although he's like a young version of "The Flash", but he's a one kid to have fun with actions.

For Violet (voiced by Sarah Vowell), she's an older daughter and she possesses invisibility and force-field. At first, she started as a shy emo girl, despite her ability. Its not easy to feel bad for her, since she seems to be fragile, but later on for the second to final act, she gets more interesting that i also liked her. Here's a fun fact, while Pixar was thinking for the cast of Vi, they're thinking for Sarah, by using a sound clip in episode of "This American Life" in the animation test.

And for Jack-Jack (voiced(?) by Eli Fucile and Maeve Andrews), at first he's just baby in filler, even though it didn't happen until the final act for a big surprise. either that or some of you saw "Jack-Jack attack".

Then we have a remain hero is Frozone, aka Lucius Best (voiced by...   Samuel L. Jackson?), although he's a minor hero, but i can say that he's a cool looking hero with ice powers. He's cool,laid-back and good friend of Bob Parr. Even though this isn't the only film that Sam L. Jackson played as a superhero, he also played Nick Fury in Marvel Cinematic Universe films and he's still a great actor.

And we have a the villain of the movie, Syndrome, formerly known as either Incrediboy or Buddy Pine (voiced by Jason Lee). Oh man, i never heard that we a have a villain from a fan like him. Which from the beginning, he wanted to become a sidekick with Mr. Incredible, but he got rejected a lot, causing himself into a breakdown and transformed himself  as psychotic and a cruelty villain known as "Syndrome". Which his evil mission is to killing off every "Supers" with his intelligent, power and robots known as "OmnicDroid", but thats not all, he can also plan to brought his big OmnicDroid to make every civilians as "Supers" to dealing from a giant robot.  Even though he's not a "Super" with special powers, but he has gadgets like rocket boots, a remote control robot on his wrists and Utility Gauntlets. But the one thing that really bothered me is...  How the heck did he got robots, armies, weapons, technology and more?!  That will be a lot scary for our questions.

Despite the big questions, he's probably another famous Disney/Pixar villains for all of his evil reason. And for Mirage (voiced by Elizabeth Peña), i find her pretty gorgeous with white hair and sympathy for Mr. Incredible. Even though she disappeared before the climatic battle of gigantic Omnicdroid.

As for the rest of the characters? Well, there's not much that i want to talk. But the one minor character that i also like (Aside Samuel L. Frozone) is Edna Mode (strangely voiced by Brad Bird himself). She's known for a old fashion designer of "Supers", especially that she likes to make a new suits to making completely different than before like The Incredibles. But its also worth noting that she's against the capes, mainly because it caused a lot of damage of fashion concept with previous heroes wearing a cape who's either injured or died, which is kinda like her trademark of "No capes". To me, i find that she's a fascinated minor character for not just her business of supersuits, but also for her spunky, passionate and sometimes creative personality.

With the characters who's funny, sweet and cool, they're always enjoyable.

Spoiler Alert for those you never seen the final act (Or if you don't care)

In the final act, the battle with a big Omnicdroid is pretty cool and pretty hard to beat it before Bob find the easiest way to destroy it. As they're finished, we though it was over, but we noticed what happen to Syndrome, which he came back for his Plan B, by kidnapping Jack-Jack after knocking down Kari. But as The Incredibles trying to save their baby, it reveals that Jack has shape-shifting ability, in fire, metal and a monster?  Holly heck, that is crazy for little baby (Better than Baby Geniuses), as Mrs. Incredible saves her "bundle of transformation", Mr. Incredible fought back at Syndrome by throwing his own Corvette (But, it was his new car.) at the plane, which resulting Syndrome getting got with his cape by a jet's turbine and dies in foreshadowing of "No capes!". But three months later, as they're back in peace, they're been interrupted by a new villain named  Underminer, meaning that they're going back in business to stop the new bad guy.

It was a pretty good third and final act in the film and also a well execution for a Villain's death like Syndrome. (Which im sure he's one villain that we love to hate, right?)

And now, its time for my final opinion.

Overall, The Incredibles is another successful Pixar film and also a great comeback for Brad Bird, with cool story, fantastic animation of old fashion, likable characters and it was funny as heck. I loved it a lot as a kid, looking back as i grew to adult, i still enjoyed it. Like i said before, even though it was a hardest work they've ever done, but hey, they put a lot of effort for their practice in their development. If you're a fan or superheroes or Pixar films, this one is definitely for you.

Il give this movie a perfect 10/10.

And before il end my review, il talk about a legacy a bit and even an upcoming sequel. Ever since it was successful, a comic company called BOOM! Studios announced for a publishing a comic based on the movie and it came out in 2009 with a name "The Incredibles: Family Matters" and it did do well. Well, before the comic, in 2005, there's a game called "The Incredibles: Rise of the Underminer" by Heavy Iron Studios (The same company for releasing Disney Infinity franchise foe Nintendo and PC.), to making it as a sequel and it was so-and-so...   Then two years after the movie came out, Brad Bird returned in Pixar to writing and directing "Ratatouille" and it also succeed, even though i never seen it, but maybe il give a try to buy a DVD.

And finally, after several years later (Which is sometimes after Ratatouille), Bird was announced to make a sequel with reprising actors (except Spencer Fox, he'll be replaced by Huck Milner, because Fox was getting old as adult), a lot of thinking for the story that whether Underminer is a main villain or others and at one point that Helen Parr is going to be a main focus after Bob, which im fine for a changing role. Plus, it was originally to be release on 2019 along with Toy Story 4, but they cut the date on June 15 2018. Overall, i am highly anticipated to see it and maybe it will be great like Toy Story films. So, raise your hands if you like to see "The Incredibles 2".

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

Thanks for reading and im Anthony, signing out.

Mini review: The Emoji Movie

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS A REVIEW THAT I NEVER SAW IT, BUT I SAW ON REVIEW LIKE "ANIMAT'S REVIEW" (Since it came out already.). AND OF COURSE, IT HAS NO CONNECTION OF A STORYLINE REVIEW. READERS DISCRETION IS ADVISED.


Well, well...    How could we ever found, as one the best movie we've ever seen of 2017. The one movie was simply called "The Emoji Movie". :D

Its a 2017 animated film that was written and directed by Tony Leondis and produced by Michelle Raimo Kouyate, and it was from our favorite company called "Sony Pictures Animation".

This is a film that it has a potential and that we're highly anticipated with it became inspiration that we love to be hip and cool with mobile phones.

So lets see how good it is--  *breaks to laugh after a sarcasm*  I just kid, because this movie SUCKS, and you know it how SUCKS it is!

But, how did they done for a horrible concept?

Only way to find out.

For the story and the setting, its obviously a rip-off of the films that i saw and loved, such as "Wreck-It Ralph" by Disney, "Inside Out" by Pixar and even "The Lego Movie" by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. Where it takes place in our imaginary world with Emojis called "Textopolis", our "hero" who's a multi-expression character named Gene lives with his family, before he was no choice but to going in his business from Phone users picking Emoji in "text center" by a big female boss named "Smiler". Not before he was helped by a hacker named "Jailbreak" to stay away from "Smiler" along with Hi-5 for.... Whatever the heck reason!!

The story itself is just not only rip-off, but also completely out of focus, especially with a filler with humans like Alex who wants to hang out with a girl named Addie and even cheap parents relation with Gene's "Meh" family. Its just nothing but desperate and untalented that it feels like it was written by a teenager. Not only them, but also outright plagiarizing from a beloved movie that i'd rather looking back.

For the animation, oh my god...      Where do i begin?     For starters, the animation and the designs is stupidly boring and lazy. They're just simply make an Emoji characters with limbs, thats it, its a worth of effort for a professional artists and animators. Like come on, "Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs 2" are more creative than this pile of crap! Its as if they don't even know for not only professional, but also how they don't know to be a real Man, it feels like it was an inspiration from a Kindergarten's arts. And the jokes is stupid and unfunny. Not only that, but they also putting an "App Placements" such as Spotify, Candy Crush, Dropbox, Instagram, and Just Dance, which they're just a not only a gimmick, but also out of space for the concept. For that, the animation is so bad, that is disgusting, desperate and even unwatchable.

And for the characters, they're not lovable, they're just generic and forgettable.

Starting with Gene (voiced by T. J. Miller), he's a multi-expression character who likes to going in journey, despite he's happy who he is. He's just a bland typical hero that we rather want him something more original, than a generic personality.

Second, we have Hi-5 (voiced by James Corden) is a comic relief with egomaniac persona. Boring and stupid...

Jailbreak (voiced by Anna Feris) is a codebreaker to fighting against the with freedom of viruses. She's just dull love interest, but also a ripoff of Wildstyle from "The Lego Movie.

Smiler (voiced by Maya Rudolph) is big boss with demanding for orders, but she's also one the most ugliest and creepiest character i've ever seen that i'd rather run away for a help!!

As for the rest, they're not only boring and i'd rather not talk about, but they're also more generic for their gimmicks. I mean, i've seen more interesting gimmick than these "out of idea" characters. Especially if they include "Poop" that i wish that this guy is going to be a mascot of "Sony Picture Animation", because we all know that its nothing but S***s!!
The characters are all but nothing bland, typical of stereotypes and out of focus that it tries really hard to make them likable, but in reality, they failed pretty hard.

Oh btw, did i forgot to notice that they have a short film based on "Hotel Transylvania"? I don't wanna talk about, its also a waste of time to explain it.

So overall....   Good lord, Sony has done it pretty bad that i've watched. If you though "Power Rangers 2017" bellow average? Well, this so-called "Movie" is anything by average! This is the worst movie ever made in 2017, its as if it was not made by a real human being for how to be a man or even professional, its more like it was made by either corporation or even from other universe with no knowledge! With poorly written story, unprofessional animation, dumb and cliche characters, the joke isn't funny and its just nothing but a Ripoff!! I mean, its just nothing but a "movie" that was found from a junkyard that its too dirty to put it on theater!
So please my friend, do me a positive favor, stay away from this abomination that it ever exist, this movie isn't worth of earning millions of dollars of box-office! Its just nothing but a waste of time and even waste of money for you guys! And if you see a DVD/Blu-Ray that they released it in November or Christmas, burn it, burn it to the F***ing ground that it should NOT be exist!!

This is pretty obvious that il give it a -1/10. It will be a lot creative instead of giving 1 or 0!!

So this ends of my review from this cancerous movie (Thank god...), its not only a review, but its also a warning that i want all of you needs to listen (or reading) carefully to stay away and focus with good movies like "Atomic Blond" or even Dunkirk. And let me know in the comments bellow for your opinion or suggestions.

Thanks for reading, be strong, be brave and be ignore from this "Movie". And im Anthony, signing out.

Movie review: Spider-man Homecoming

Bryan Emmerich: *opens a box in surprise* Oh my goodness...

Mystica: What is it?

Bryan Emmerich: Its a...  a costume of Spider-man and a comic based on the movie that it already came out called "Spider-man Homecoming"?

Mystica: Wow, didn't expect that.

Bryan Emmerich: Me too. I guess we'll find out, since we had five previous films. *opens a book to find out*

*several hours later*

Bryan Emmerich: wow... That...   Was Amazing!!

*review starts*



Greeting everyone, my name is Bryan Emmerich and welcome back to the movie review.

What can we say about Spider-man?  He's one of the most famous hero in Marvel comics history since he was first started in 1962,  its about a teenager who got bitten by a radioactive spider that he secretly have powers with strength, climbing, super jumps, webs and even Spider-sense. Ever since he's so popular, he appeared every media from cartoons to the movies. The most famous is the Sam Raimi's Spider-man trilogy starring Tobey Maguire. The first was pretty descent, the second one is great and the third one is pretty disappointed, which is no wonder why their forth plan was canceled. And then we have two of "The amazing spider-man" movies, the first one was rather good and the second one is just a big joke, its also no wonder why their third plan got canceled.  I mean geez, Sony and few members could've make a good spider-man movies for how to make something right. 

That is until MCU finally brought our friendly neighborhood back in the big screen in "Captain America Civil War", which it sounds too soon, but they have to follow the book for big brawl of heroes. And finally, they made their standalone film that we're highly anticipated.

"Spider-man Homecoming" is a 2017 Superhero film was written/directed by Jon Watts, produced by Kevin Fiege and Amy Pascal and written by Jonathan Goldstein, John Francis Daley for screenplay and story.

As i mentioned before, Spider-man was first appeared in Civil War that he's working with Iron Man for the protection facility like in the comic. And when he first introduced, we're pretty surprised and impressed for him. And thats why they made a movie that is sorta like a sequel from last year.

With that said, will this movie holds up for the MCU's second attempt of our favorite web-swinger, or is this film will be like a bug crushed by Green Goblin?

Lets find out.

Story
It began after the Avengers fought against the creatures called "Chitauri", a man named Adrian Toomes worked for a clean up, but they're been took over by Stark's U.S. Department of Damage Control, leaving him and his henchmen out of business. 8 years later, Peter Parker filmed himself for a vlogging about his life and even being a heroic Spider-man while fighting against a few members of Avengers. After that, he was originally attended to be a part of the Avengers, but he was not ready, because he has a study to do. Meanwhile, Adrian was angered of his released, he was planning to stealing Tony Stark's Iron Man armors for his secret plan. So its up to Parker to dealing against Adrian known as "Vulture" to defending Tony's armors.

I can the story is actually quiet interesting concept, rather having a villain for stealing money or any victim, this one focused with Vulture looking for Tony's armor for his goal and revenge. Even though the story can hard for Peter's difficult goal to become a member of the Avengers after the Civil War, which he may risked himself for his adventure. As we know, the subplot goes where Parker has to do the study in his school and perhaps have a relationship with Liz, which it didn't work very well. The study subplot might work, since we know Pete is a teenager hero, but the love with Liz, yeah...

The story is pretty good, but some of the subplot isn't worth for the development.


The production
What can i say for the production? Its just a great concept in MCU. The filming location is nice place, especially with Washington D.C.. The action sequence are pretty damn cool and intense. So what about the costume designs?  For Spider-man, he looks pretty cool, even though it has some black lines from his arms and legs. He has a belt which its easy for the fact its his ammo for his web-slingers, the web-slingers are shown which it would've been good to covering them. Plus, his mask has moving eyes for his reaction. But his costume has some interesting concept, which he might have a similar concept of Iron Man, with having an AI named "Karen", a robot partner named "Spider-Drone" and multiple of type of webs like taser, explosive and more. I like his concept, it will be a lot more creative and nearly powerful. He also have his old costume, which is just a hood and a mask with goggles, not bad, but i would've surprise if he has "The Human spider" costume from the first "Spider-man" movie, even though the suit in the movie took about between 25 to 45 when he's wearing it. For Vultures, i also like the design, with a pilot outfit with a jet pack with wings, he looks way better than his old appearance in the comic. Toomes's henchmen's gadgets are also pretty cool with laser gun with orbs, a shocking fist gauntlet for "Shocker" and even a gravity gun. And of course, we have Iron Man, in this movie, his armor called "Mk 47", although it has an interesting concept with Wi-Fi call, but the color appearance is average, although it has hotrod colors (red and yellow), but it has a bit too much of gray from torso and arms. The effects in the movie is well done with CGs.

The production is well-done for the actions and the costume designs.

The characters
If you ever read the comic, you probably know who those characters are, unless you already know from previous MCU films.

First is our titular friendly neighborhood himself, Peter Parker, aka Spider-man (played by Tom Holland). He's a geek boy for study with science and maybe a comic book boy. However, he seems to be probably risky, since he may have a clumsy problem not just in average life, but being a hero. I mean sure, he is a teen in a unlucky life from his rival Flash Thompson (played by Tony Revolori). Despite that, Tom did a good job for his role, especially that he was inspired from two previous roles of Spider-man.

He has a friend named Ned (played by Jacob Batalon), although he's like Peter for science subject in school, but he's probably be like his partner of Spider-man for the command of locations and others. Even though some say that he's supposed to be "Ned Leeds" (aka the third Hobgoblin), but he has nothing to do with him to never include "Leeds" for his last name. Well, only time will tell for more Spider-man movies.

Then we have Liz (played by Laura Harrier), who's a student's favorite in the school and probably a love interest from Parker. But sadly, she would've do better that she has less appearance and she's not as interesting than Mary Jane Watson nor Gwen Stacy.

His partner is Tony Stark aka Iron Man (played by or course, Robert Downey Jr), as you know, he's a genius, billionaire, playboy and philanthropist with a sense of humor. In this movie, he seems to be like a mentor to make attention to Parker for the goal to become a part of Avengers. Its kinda obvious that he has less appearance, which i guess he's busy to hang out with babes. Although still, Robert is always did a nice work for his role.

And finally is Adrian Toomes aka Vulture (played by Michael Keaton), he's an interesting villain in the movie, he's an arms trafficker for seeks revenge for his released of his business. Which he has a jetpack wing from Chitauri technology. He's sorta like a dark version of Tony Stark. though Keaton did a nice job of his role, but apparently, he's portrayed in the opposite direction after he played Batman from 1989 to 1992.

There few others like Aunt May (played by Marisa Tomei) even though she seems to be less older, Michelle Jones (played by Zendaya?) who's a smarter student in Peter's class, Happy Hogan (played by... Jon Favreau???) who's a former head security of Stark's industries and a bodyguard, Aaron Davis (played by Donald Glover) who's a purchaser for Toomes and more that i won't tell more.

The characters are great and one who's nice to be back. Even though some who's rather forgettable.

And now its time for my conclusion.
Spider-man Homecoming is probably a best Spider-man film ever done with good acting for the characters (except for some), interesting story and impressive production. Even though the subplot for the relationship of Liz and Peter isn't worth for the lack of development or even Iron Man's Mk 47 design. Despite my flaws of the movie, but its still great. If you're looking for good Spider-man film, this one is for you, i highly recommend to watch it, it has fun action and it has some sense of humor.

So for that, il give it 9/10. Go watch it if you want.

Well, im done for the review. If you guys have some suggestions or your opinion of the movie, hit the comment bellow.

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...
