Movie review: Ant-Man and The Wasp

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

From three years ago, i talked about the first movie Ant-Man, which although its a nice start, but the execution wasn't that great, which is basically a copy-paste of "Iron Man".

And of course, at the end, we saw a cliffhanging ending where Hope van Dyne is prepare as the new Wasp. Which is no wonder why its gotta be a sequel what we want to see after an average start.

"Ant-Man and The Wasp" is 2018 MCU film and a sequel from before that was directed by Peyton Reed (And yes, he's back), Kevin Feige and Stephen Broussard, and written by Chris McKenna, Erik Sommers, Paul Rudd (Yup, not he acted, but also working as the writer), Andrew Barrer, Gabriel Ferrari (Um...  Is he like a son of Enzo or something??).

This is the film that it was unexpectedly announced or maybe predicted for the fans after three years. But the major downside is that this movie came out the same year with "Avengers: Infinity War", due that mean it has a connection from previous film from last month?

Enough of question, with all that said, will this movie holds up to be be better than the first film, or is this film deserves to be crushed like a bug by The Green Goblin?

Well, lets find out.

The Story

It started on the backstory that we've seen before, where Hank Pym and Janet van Dyne working together as a titular hero, but one time in 1987, Hank tries to disable the nuke bomb, but didn't work on his own, causing his lost wife using her shrinking power further to sacrifice herself. However, it wasn't true, due to the fact that she maybe alive and lost in quantum realm. Fast forward to present time, Scott Lang was expected to going back in normal after being nearly free from prison, but he was being picking up by Hank and Janet's daughter Hope that they decided to making their new project to find Janet if she's still alive after more than 30 years. However, the main villain "Ghost" wants to capturing Hank's lab, due to her ability that it risks her own life because of quantum. Its up to our heroes to keeping their lab from Ghost and probably a betrayed employee named Bill Foster.

I can say that the story itself is not only average, but probably a lot better than tracing the very first story of Iron Man. But its most likely that Hank's lab is more like a holy grail for whoever wants to take it for reasons. But the problem of the story is that it got too much with subplots, like the mentioned healing for Ghost, Scott Lang dealing with security, having issue of his suit and even hanging out with his family like his daughter which is an obvious filler. Like come on, stop going randomly otherwise the story is getting confused for whats the focus. But again, the main focus is who's gonna get Hank's lab. But another problem is that it was rushed for the story, since this movie's time is nearly 2 hours.

The story is quiet good than before, but you think if you could just tone down for the subplots?

The Production.

What else can i say for this movie, its a pretty cool production movie with actions, suits and effects.

But first, the presentation remains the same, but with creative way, most notable with expanding shrinking gadgets for not just the suits or various objects, but also with cars (aka turning into a toy car, due to "Hot wheels luggage collection) or even Hank's lab, which im quiet impressed for their invention.

The action scenes are pretty cool and entertainment, especially with some tricky ways like shrinkage or even ghostly ways. But my personal favorite is the car chase scene in the most insane and creative ways that it was a fun rollercoaster.

As for the costumes, they're pretty cool that we've seen. Though Ant-Man's suit was used from previous film that i have to admit, its a lot more fascinating than the comic version. As for the new ones like The Wasp, although it looks like a sister version of Ant-Man due to a similar design, but to be fair, it looks pretty cool with the colors, kinda like in the comic, speaking of comic, she has wings and shooting some kinda sting energy ball, nice. As for Ghost, although its a nice design, which im very impressed, but the color is the most typical pick ever, i know it fits for her color choice, but why can't they pick something easier for stealth like black or something.

But the downside, is that not only a rushed story or development, but its just that when i watched, i noticed that some scenes from the trailer were almost all removed, which i didn't know why they cut some scenes out. Maybe its the limited budget, despite it was developed over 162 million dollars.

Its a pretty good production of this movie, but i had a disappointed presentation that some scens from the trailer was suffered a cut.

The Characters

Im sure you're heard these guys from the first movie, otherwise if you've haven't seen it, il give a bit summarize from my previous review of "Ant-Man".

First is our titular hero "Ant-Man", aka Scott Lang (played by Paul Rudd), a former criminal turned into a hero thanks for discovering Ant-Man's outfit, with the ability of shrinking ant size and even assembling army of ants. He's known to be fun, a bit smart and sometimes kinda magician. But of course, its nice to see Paul Rudd returned as our hero. either that or i'd rather looking back where he played SNES on billboard.

Next is our mentor Hank Pym (played by Michael Douglas), a former member of SHIELD, an early example of Ant-Man since Janet's so-called "sacrifice" and inventor for shrinking abilities. Although he's like a leader to former prisoner and his daughter Hope, but he maybe also considered as a joy fatherhood, due to his concerned to his wife and relation of his daughter. Though sometimes he's rather serious due to his demise of his own company and probably a dysfunctional relation to his former employee Bill Foster. Despite some flaws, Michael is always did a nice work of his role, even though he was reached over 70.

Then is our second titular hero, Hope van Dyne, aka The Wasp (played by Evangeline Lilly), at first, i though she's just a tool from the first movie, but of course at the end, she proceeds to working as a recent Wasp. Although she's pretty cool for her action, but sometimes the relation with Scott Lang is gonna be a difficult story, due to his action on "Civil War". Though i never heard of Lilly, but she did an interesting work.

And you're probably wondering about The Original Wasp, aka Janet van Dyne (played by Michelle Pfeiffer)? Well, she's out there in quantum realm, but we have to wait for confirmation. Oh, and this is not the only time she played in the comic movie, which she's famously known as Selina Kyle, aka Catwoman in Batman Returns. Man, this is the second time i watched a movie veteran actor who used playing in Tim Burton's Batman movies since "Spider-man Homecoming".

As for the new villains? They're rather pretty cool, despite one of them has a small appearance.

First is Ghost, aka Ava Starr (played by Hannah John-Kamen). Like i said before, she has a cool outfit, but not as good for execution for simple white in my opinion. Despite the flaws, she has the ability of phasing through walls and objects. I though she could be a cool maybe a deadly villain, but she's more like a neutral, due to her affection molecular instability (aka phasing) which it'll cause to kill her. So, she's sorta like a sympathetic villain for her risking her own life from her own power. Hannah is rather an interesting to playing as a neutral(?) antagonist, but i just wish she could be evil rather than need a help before dying.

And finally there's Bill Foster (played by Laurence Fishburne, aka Morpheus from The Matrix), a former employee of Hank's employee that he invented "Project Goliath" for gigantic size for Ant-Man. Like before he started nice, but turns out to be a villain (kinda) that he wants revenge for being demised by Hank Pym that he works with Ghost by stealing his so-called "friend"'s lab to healing Ava. I have nothing against Laurence Fishburne, he's most famous actor for years since The Matrix. But of course, this isn't the only time he acted in comic movie, such as DC Extended Universe where he played Perry White.

While the rest aren't much else to say, Some of them came back for their role like X-Com members Luis, Dave and Kurt (played by Michael Pena (Again with him in my review?!), Tip "T.I." Harris and David Dastmalchian), the low IQ crime Sonny Burch (played by Walton Goggins), and a parole officer Jimmy Woo (played by Randall Park).

The characters are fun and nice for return, while some other characters (as well the new villains) would've been great what i expected.

And now for my final opinion of this film.
Overall, i think its probably better than the first one, with good story, great productions and the characters are nice. Though sometimes it got a lot of problems with so many subplots about keeping/stealing lab, some scenes from the trailer were cut and some characters along the villains aren't as great what i was wishing for.

Was it a better movie in this year's MCU? Well, probably not, it didn't get much attention than Black Panther or even Infinity War. It kinda disappointed me, but again, at least its much better story than first one. If you like Ant-Man, this one is for you, or perhaps you should stick to two previous mentioned films.

For my rating,il give it a 7/10. Its above average at its best to describe this movie.

So this ends of my movie review, if you guys have your opinion or any suggestions, let me know at comment bellow and support me on Pateron.com/Blackevil915 for your big request.

Movie Review: Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

*After "Incredibles 2" review*

Corporate Driver: *sigh* I cannot believe how many people love "Incredibles 2"!! This is hust an utter BullS*** reaction! We better find some other films that deserves to be negative!

Secretary Driver: I know...  How about "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom" to make a film look boring?

Corporate Driver: Ah Ha! That will be wonderful idea! We're gonna take their film to make a good start, but in boring way, along with focus of presentation, what do ya say?

Secretary Driver: Yep.

Corporate Driver: This will be a great way to make money for us and the people who made this movie, especially for selling limited edition of Doritos which i don't care, because come on, the movie viewers are bunch of sheeps, like we're gonna laugh our asses off that they'll spend money to see this potential! Time to make a call! *grabs his phone for his manipulation*

*few days later*

Anthony: Well, after several months of waiting when i heard about the sequel of Jurassic World, maybe this will be promising and probably dramatic. *walks to the movie theater*

*2 hours later*

Anthony: *sigh* ...  I don't know where i begin?

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

From three years ago, i talked about "Jurassic World" which is gonna be the return of our favorite Spielberg movie "Jurassic Park". Though its a nice return, but its considered a perfect film. And boy, it got a lot of money of box-office with over 1.672 billion dollars.

Due to the success of box-office, some people though it will be a good idea to make a sequel for changing the life of dinosaurs.

"Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom" is a 2018 sci-fi adventure film directed by J. A. Bayona, produced by Frank Marshall, Patrick Crowley, Belén Atienza (along with Steven Spielberg returns as executive producer), and written by Colin Trevorrow and Derek Connolly.

When it was announced, i probably knew its gotta be a sequel since i liked the previous film or maybe a box-office. But of course, it has to make something changed and maybe brought back some old characters that we like to see after 20 years, but rarely for expensive reason. One of them who gets a surprised return is Jeff Goldblum.

But oh boy, it showed that its not what we expected...

Well, lets find out.

The Story

It picks up three years after the previous film where our heroes escaped Isla Numblar and killing off Indominus Rex, the island of dinosaurs is about to be destroy from a volcano, which resulting a debate whether the dinosaurs will be extinct or maybe save them in US, meanwhile, Claire Dearing becoming an activist of dinosaurs with the group Dinosaur Protection Group, not before she has a phone call from Benjamin Lockwood to make sure some kinds of dinosaurs will be safe, but one of them is gonna be complicated for the last kind is Velociraptor. So Clair, Owen Grady, Franklin Webb and Zia Rodriguez have to find the way save the dinosaurs and probably dealing against Eli Mills for his auction to selling dinosaurs for money.

At first, its sorta like a "Lost world", which it has a similar story where it takes in abandoned island and military's "Good idea" of bringing dinosaur in US (such as New York), but sadly, it was just the beginning that it has a good start where the island is destroyed, leaving the other dinosaurs gets killed from destructive eruption. however, the rest of the story start to get boring, which it mainly focus on actions, some monologue and the bidding. I mean, it will be something cool when the island is destroyed, but nope, it feels empty with probably adding a cliche story element, which is probably an environmental content of saving dinosaurs. There's a subplot that there's another hybrid dinosaur was created after Indominus Rex's skeleton was discovered in the ocean, they called "Indoraptor", it may sounds cool, but it was just for showing from the second to third act.

The story is so average that it had a good start, but as later on, get got bored quickly.

The Production

Aside for the story the its rather lame, but the production is.. Well, what do you expect.

Nice presentation, interesting film location and of course, the production of dinosaurs. Though its obvious that most dinosaurs are all done in CGI and even animatronics like before that you've seen. But the one thing that noticed is that they brought a new dinosaurs what they originally intended to like Allosaurus, Carnotaurus and few others. But some are originally to be in the movie as Dilophosaurus for original cut, but that idea was removed for reason, maybe its the limit of budget, even the  direction is actually pretty good. And you're probably wondering about my thoughts of second hybrid dinosaur called "Indoraptor"? Well, it looks more like a raptor with two times bigger and trickier with intelligent, and i think its rather cooler than Indominus Rex.

But my problem is that, its pretty much else to say, it focused a lot with dinosaurs and the action scenes, i mean i like the action scenes with dinosaurs with T Rex. It just comes off as show off the production how intense the action, scary and probably dark it is. I felt not only the story is lame, but its also being forgotten due to the focus of presentation for desperation with money.

The production looks great, but could we just make something important for the story or something? I mean geez, the multi-times that i was criticizing about the visuals/presentation makes the movie, its the story and the characters makes the movie for god sake!

The Characters

Its nice to see the characters back in the previous installment, but sadly, they're pretty above average.

There's some characters return, but they have a little development, like Owen Grady (played by my favorite actor Chris Pratt) is a retired trainer of raptor and a typical main hero and Claire Dearing (played by Bryce Dallas Howard) is now an activist for dinosaur, but she's a typical female side character. Don't give me wrong, they're pretty good for acting, its just that their developments is above average for their small change.

As for the new casts, they're pretty bellow that i felt that some characters aren't as special that i was again, expecting.

There's Eli Mills (played by Rafe Spall) who's a main villain where he wants almost all the dinosaurs for his power and money in Lockwood Estate. I mean, he's just a typical manipulator that his goal is the take the dinosaurs away for money and probably making a hybrid dinosaur with a scientist. Though Rafe did a nice work of acting, but it doesn't mean i hate that guy, its just he's a forgettable written villain.

But the rest aren't give explanation that i wanna tell, Franklin Webb (played by Justice Smith) is a nerd hacker, Zia Rodriguez (played by Daniella Pineda) is sorta tomboy former marine, Gunnar Eversol (played by Toby Jones) is a host with bidder and Maisie Lockwood (played by a young Isabella Sermon) is a typical kid sidekick.

But there's one that i probably feel bad due to the incident is Benjamin Lockwood (played by James Cromwell), he's an old partner of John Hammond for creating clone that would've been great, but with a power greed and without homeland of dinosaurs, it will never be the same for him. Which Spoiler alert, he sadly passed away in second act on the movie.

And you're probably wondering about the return of Ian Malcolm (played by Jeff Goldblum)? Well i hate to tell you guys, he's basically used a cameo about his decision from the debate of dinosaurs. I know Jeff is a talented and expensive veteran actor, but good lord, talk about a waste of potential to having him as a cameo. I mean come on, Harrison Ford got more appearance in Blade Runner 2049.

The characters in this movie would've been ok for more development, instead of plain one dimensional persona. But don't give wrong, they did a good job of acting, but again, its just that their roles would've been better for the writing.

And now for my final opinion of this film.

Overall, its the second weakest installment of Jurassic Park series since the third one.

With above average story, the production is over-shown, characters is so average and boring and the writing is an absolute clunker. But sure, i do like some action scenes with dinosaurs, the emotional flashback scene with Owen and Blue, the T Rex, a new hybrid dinosaur and the musical scores. But its just that it falls flat quickly that i wanted to like this movie. Not only that, before i watch the movie, there was a bag of Doritos of grilled steak flavor limited edition, which it tasted pretty good that i might say, but the marketing of Doritos of this movie wouldn't help to make a good film, its painfully average.

But if you're a big fan of dinosaurs like Jurassic Park/World, maybe this one is for you.

I would've give this movie a 7, but i tone down badly to 5.5/10. I mean i really wish this could be very special for a good writing, but it ended up as a very average film.

But of course since we're in a summer film, if you ask me which one do i think its better, il easily stick to "Incredibles 2", which at least it was fun and worth of waiting for nearly 15 years. But "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom" feels like a typical summer blockbuster that i was disappointed.

So this ends of my movie review, if you guys have your opinion or any suggestions, let me know at comment bellow and support me on Pateron.com/Blackevil915 for your big request.

Thanks for reading, and im Anthony, signing out.

Movie review: The Incredibles 2

*walks out of movie theater*

Wow...     I have no words to say...!

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

Back in 2017, i talked about "The Incredibles", which is easily one of my favorite Pixar movies with Toy Story, Bug's life, Finding Nemo/Dory, Wall-E and even Inside out. I mean, i remembered seeing it as a kid that i loved it, and looking back as i grew to 22, i still love it.

And its no wonder that from few years ago, Brad Bird wanted to make a sequel, but it was on early hold that he was working two movies such as Ratatouille in Pixar which is his second successful work, Tomorrowland is rather average and he's done outside of Disney/Pixar such as "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol that it was the first MI film i ever watch, but pretty good.

And finally, he went back in business of family heroes after 14 years, but boy, it showed...!

"The Incredibles 2" is a 2018 animated superhero Pixar film written/directed by Brad Bird and produced by John Walker (And yes, he's back) and Nicole Paradis Grindle.

This is a film that a lot of fans really like to see what's happening after three months from the first movie that we like to see. Although there's a game called "The Incredibles: Rise of the Underminer", which it was a "sequel" from the first movie, in video game, but not a lotta people will like this game and i never played it. So lets pretend that it will never happened.

Of course, when it was previewed during Winter Olympic in South Korea, it got a lot of excitement with millions of views on social media, which i have to admit, i was overly anticipated to see it.

So now we got the film came out recently and with all that said, will this movie holds up after 14 years, or is gonna be a "Super Flop"?

Well, lets find out.

The Story

The movie was quickly started with a bang, in other words, it picks up after the cliffhanger ending from the first movie, where our heroes are facing against The Underminer. Unfortunately, they failed their goal that The Underminer was escaped with the money from the bank without any trace, causing them to get arrested for the damages and the authorities is still calling the superheroes are illegal. Not only that, Rick Dicker was resigned for shutting down Super Relocation program. But it was just the beginning, where Bob (Mr. Incredible), Helen (ElastiGirl) and Lucius Best (Frozone) are contacted by DEVTECH's owner named Winston Daevor that he wanted to bringing superheroes back after the backlash from 15 years ago. And so, Winston picked ElastiGirl for considering less destructive of superpowers and she accepted to go as she's going back in business as a superhero while Bob is taking care his kids. But its up to her for not only saving citizens, but also dealing with our new villain named "The Screenslaver".

Although that the story feels like from the first movie, but execution itself is actually done better. Where we like to see ElastiGirl back in action that we like to see in entertainment and Bob's taking care his kids was not only stressful, but in hilarious way, especially with Jack-Jack has every powers that we have never seen before. Aside of a subplot of Bob's take care, there's another subplot of a relationship between Violet and Tony since the beginning that she wanted to going at movie theater, but sadly, she was accidentally being exposed of her secret identity in front of Tony, causing her relationship in embarrassment that Bob wants to bring her back to him, which i understand why, but i won't get more detail. As for the humor in this movie, oh man, it was pretty funny, especially with some hilarious dialogues or even some funny moments with Jack-Jack. But, since this is a PG rated movie, its obvious that they put little bit mature of the dialogue with "Oh my god" for kids. Im not kidding, when i was in movie theater, i notice there're kids watching this PG rated movie.

Though the story is the same as before, but actually a well-execution.

The Animation

Well, its yet another good work of animation by Pixar. But of course, it has to be updated with good quality since Toy Story 3, Finding Dory or even Cars 3.

For starter, the presentation of this film pretty good for a new quality and textures, they did a nice work for the new look and stuff. The action scenes are pretty great and probably more fun than the first one (no offense), that it has helicopter scene, chasing the train with "Elasticycle" or even in the beginning act, even though like to see fun family, but we still like the action scene involving chases, fight scenes and explosions. The supers with suit and abilities, its nice to see them back along with update, with Violet's projectile, Voyd's portal, ElastiGirl's stretch/shape-shifting ability or even Jack-Jack multiple powers, i really like to see the new powers, and for the supersuits, its nice to see them back with the current Incredibles suit, flashback suits, ElastiGirl's new outfit or even the new supers's outfit. Some new supers's appearance looks good and colorful, but some others is rather gimmicky, i know that it was the idea to bringing back the old routs of superhero appearances, i mean i like the vintage superheroes, but its not perfect for the reason of gimmick. And if you ask me for ElastiGirl's new outfit, it looks like a remake version from the flashback of the first movie, but it looks cool with red and grey. As for the character designs, its nice for the update which i like some appearances, even though some female characters aside of ElastiGirl may have a big hips, which im pretty sure they want to make a fan-service a bit, but im fine for them. However, my biggest nitpick of the animation is the use of epileptic flicker image from hypnotism of Screenslaver, it would've ok to use a typical hypnosis images, but with flashy image? Im considering it to be unwatchable to some viewers who suffer from epileptic seizure. I mean, when i saw these on the big screen, i was trying to covering the screen from my view without causing myself for being blind or even getting dizzy.

The animation is pretty good for the new quality and action, but do you really think its a good idea to have some hypnotism scene that may cause a seizure? Im seriously call a small PSA for sensitive viewers, Pixar.

The characters

For those you have seen the previous film, il give a little bit explanation and the new development with our heroes.

First is Helen Parr, aka ElastiGirl/Mrs. Incredible (voiced by Holly Hunter), from before, she's a feisty mother that she cared and respect for Bob and kids, even that she's resourceful with our heroes. This time, she's the main focus that like Bob, she's accepted for her mission, but more careful on her own, but of course, she's a lot stretchy with her powers and forms (No pun attended). But of course, Holly's role is a welcoming return of our favorite mother.

Next up is Bob Parr, aka Mr. Incredible (voiced by Craig T. Nelson), from before, he's our main hero for doing on his own, but probably risking himself with his own life and power. Here, though he learn his lesson to be working together in family, but he's also a laughably difficult father to keeping eye for the kids, even though he may also have a drama for why he's eager as a main hero back then. But again, Craig is also a welcoming return.

As for the kids, even though some remains the same but adding new development, like Dash (voiced by Huck Milner who replaced Spencer Fox due to his age) is not only a speedy boy, but he's also troublesome and Jack-Jack (aka J.J. that i like to call for short) is not only comedy relief, but he's also a big surprise baby with 17 powers (im not kidding, he's almost like OP when i was doing a research. Oh and Spoiler Alert, i think...).

But one kid who got a big development is Violet (voiced by Sarah Vowell), unlike before she's a emo to confident hero, in this movie, her main deal is to have a relationship with Tony, but sadly due to her father's big mistake when she was accidentally exposed her identity, that made her completely devastated and lost her hope as a super. I mean geez, its not easy to feel bad for her, despite that aside Helen or Bob, i like Violet too. Even though that despite her pissed off mood, but she gets a lot interesting later on.

And there's Lucius Best, aka Frozone (voiced by Samuel L. Jackson), though he's pretty much the same as a sidekick/ Bob Parr's best friend, but he's also likable for his laid-back persona and another welcoming return, with Sam Jackson.

As for the rest old characters, Edna Mode (voiced by Brad Bird himself) is nice to see her again, but sadly short, Rick Dicker (voiced by Jonathan Banks for replacing Bud Luckey due to his death in this year. Sad...) is now resigned agent, though he's rather nice, but again short. And The Underminer (voiced by John Ratzenberger), he's just a thrown out villain from the beginning.

As for the new casts, i find them are rather averagely good.

First there's Daevor siblings like Winston (voiced by Bob Odenkirk) who's probably a likable new cast with well-written character that he likes to bringing Supers back from illegality with telecommunications company. In other words, he wanted bring superheroes back to bring peace and love with citizens.

As for his sister Evelyn (voiced by Catherine Keener) who's a sister of technological genius without revealing problem, although i find her to be a bit unnecessary, but i im not gonna spoil it later on.

As for the new villain "Screenslaver" (voiced by Bill Wise), at first, i find him to be pretty cool and disturbing looking with his dark appearance with mask with skull like and goggle who hacks medias with hypnotism power. Although he's gonna be the main villain, but sadly, he could've be a lot more chance to shine like Syndrome. But again, im not gonna give more detail.

As for the new Supers, there's Voyd (voiced by Sophia Bush) who's a fangirl of ElastiGirl with the ability of creating portal. Even though she can be awkward with stuttering. As for the rest of new Supers, they're rather look cool and other times gimmicky as i mention before, but they're just showing of new heroes in the background.

Even though some new casts is above average, its our main heroes is easily likable for rooting and maybe sympathy.

And now for my final opinion of this film.

The best way to describe this movie is "That Was Totally Wicked!!"! Sorry, i really want to say it for a great return.

Anyway, this probably not only the best Superhero film like Avengers Infinity War and Black Panther, a best Pixar film since the first one and quiet possibly the best animated sequel i have ever seen after 14 year and it is a worth of waiting.

With story is pretty good (despite a bit similar, but in reverse), lovable characters (aside of Screenslaver who's kinda disappointed), amazing action, it was funny and kinda sad and the animation is outstandingly great for the upgrade. This is the film that i lost my words after it was done since "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" or even "Infinity War". I mean, i can definitely say that this is a must-watch film that you deserve to see it if you 're fan of superheroes, Pixar or even the new franchise of The Incredibles. Go ahead, watch this movie and it will never disappoints.

Oh! And you probably wondering about my thoughts of Pixar short called "Bao"? Well, despite its the first time it was directed by an Asian woman, but its rather a weird concept where a mother has a son in anthropomorphic dumpling. But it was simply heart-warming involving mother and her son. And... Not much else to say that i skip ahead. Il give a short 6/10.

Anyway, for my rating of this movie....    Aw forget it, since its my new favorite film, il give it 10/10. But it would've been like 9 or 9.5 with some flaws, but as a fan of Pixar and superheroes, il give it to 10.

And does that mean its the best movie of this year? I think so, but again, we have to wait towards the end. But its more specifically a "Best animated film of 2018" in my opinion, but again, we have to wait for some other animated films for who's gonna be the next best one of the year, including "Ralph breaks the internet: Wreck-it Ralph 2".

So this ends of my movie review, if you guys have your opinion or any suggestions, let me know at comment bellow and support me on Pateron.com/Blackevil915 for your big request.

Movie review: Solo: a Star Wars story

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

From two years ago, i talked about "Rogue One", which it was considered as the first anthology series of Star Wars. The result is probably above average, which it had a good actions and some good characters, but some production would've been great, some other characters are forgettable and the main story was blocked by a big subplot, which i considering it as a disappointment since "The Last Jedi".

Fast forward to this year in 2018, we got the second anthology of the series, this time, it goes to the origin of our favorite smuggler, Han Solo.

"Solo: a Star Wars story" is a 2018 sci-fi adventure with western directed by Ron Howard, produced by Kathleen Kennedy, Allison Shearmur and Simon Emanuel, and written by Jonathan Kasdan and Lawrence Kasdan.

This is one film that i was curious to find out where did Han begin as a smuggler and meeting Chewbacca. Even though back then before Disney, there are some stories that took place before "A New Hope" like novels, comics and others.

Its also noted that the film was originally directed by the duo directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller in early 2017, but sadly at June of same year, both of them got fired due to the creative differences of the movie, which is why they're replaced by Ron Howard, which many people had a mixed feeling that some say that maybe it will be good for Howard, but others felt that it won't be as good for direction.

So, with all that said, will this movie holds up with Ron Howard's new direction, or is this is nothing but a scruffy looking Nerf Header.

Well, lets find out.

The Story

It takes place before the event of "A new hope", where Han was born in Corellia in order to stealing a hyper fuel coaxium with his love interest named Qi'ra. Once they escaped, they went into transport of Imperial in order to exchanging for passenger seat, it worked, but Qi'ra was taken away, leaving Han Solo all alone for his business. But three years later, he was expelled  Imperial Flight Academy, causing him as an infantryman in Mimban with Tobias Beckett. After attempting to blackmail him, he was taken to the pit where he's about to get beaten by a Wookie, who's none other than Chewbacca. He managed to save himself with a Wookie language (for...   questionable reason that i didn't know why.), he manage to become a friend of Chewie quickly as they're going after Tobias for help, Beckett accepted that they teaming up together for their goal to getting coaxium for money to get a ship for Solo's girlfriend and his home.

I find the story itself is rather interesting for his goal to collecting energy fuel for money, since in the galaxy, it was in jeopardy from the crimes syndication of valuable resources like coaxium in the movie. There's a subplot involving the reunion of Qi'ra after three years that Solo missed her, its nice for that, but i felt the relationship wasn't as great than Solo and Leia. And of course, lets not forget we also introduce a gabbling smuggler named Lando Calrissian to befriend with solo, kinda.

Though some fans (including my father) are probably felt disappointed that it has no mention of the forces or even the Jedi/Sith. But personally, im technically fine without the plot element of Jedi and stuff, since we're focusing with other stuff in the legacy of Star Wars. If you're one of those fans who's begging to have a Jedi in this movie, sorry, im probably stand by their story outside the element.

I find the story is rather good, even if some development would've been better for Solo's flashback.

The production

Of course, its a big budget movie that we like to see something new quality and more since "The force awakens", otherwise you'll probably hate it if you're a fan of old school effects.

Anyway, the presentation itself looks pretty cool that i can say, the locations of Corellia, the inside of Millennium Falcom and some others. But others are rather typical like the mining place in Kessel or even an obvious deserted planet like Savareen. Don't give me wrong i find them to be not bad, but its just that we've seen this before. For the appearances of the characters, its quiet common if you looking around the wiki of the species in the universe of Star Wars, some are famous that we're familiar like Wookies and others are rather average. As for the actions, they're entertaining and maybe a wild ride with the early Millennium Falcon. But one thing im disappointed is that there's no more than one action with Stormtroopers that i like to make fun of for their lack of accurasies.

But the problem that i have is that despite it has nothing special for the story, but i find that the pacing of this movie is questionable. Like it goes to an action, but then it ended shortly out of nowhere. Despite the rest went slow that i got a bit bored, since this movie was 2 hours and 15 minutes.

The production is pretty good for actions and concept, even though it would've done good for the pacing and some missing parts that we like.

The characters

If you've seen the previous Star Wars, you're probably familiar with three recognizable characters.

First, we have our titular hero Han Solo (played by Alden Ehrenreich who replaced Harrison Ford) is a charming but kinda arrogant. But of course, he's also badass for his quick reflex of shooting with his blaster. In this movie, even though i never heard of Alden, but i think he did a nice work of his role.

Then we have Chewbacca (played by Joonas Suotamo who replaced Peter Mayhew due to his age) is a famous Wookie friend and probably served as his first mate from the origin. Though despite known for shooting, but man, i never know how some Wookies like Chewie could be stronger.

And finally there's Lando Calrissian (played by Donald Glover who replaced Billy Dee Williams) who's Solo's friend/rival which not only he's a smuggler to rise in the galaxy, but also a gambler.

All them are familiar that we've seen in the original trilogy. And they did a good job as a replacement at the veteran actors.

As for the new casts? Well, it was a mixed bag. some that i think who's likable, but others fall flat quickly from no special and short-lived (Sadly Spoiler Alert)

First, we have Qi'ra (played by Emilia Clarke), who's Solo's old childhood love a daughter of crime lord and... Thats all she got. She's just a typical love interest from the past with no other personality or extra development to given. Talk about a waste of relationship since Anakin and Padme from Episode 2.

Next we have Tobias Beckett (played by Woody Harrelson), he sorta like a father figure of his group, but probably badass for his action with dual blasters. Even though i don't like Qi'ra, but i think he's rather pretty cool and Woody did a nice job of his role. He has his wife name Val (played by Thandie Newton), but could've make more appearance.

There's Enfys Nest who's a leader of the pirate called Cloud Riders, it looks pretty cool that they could like an antagonist, but im gonna tell more truth about it.

Next, there's a crime lord named Dryden Vos (played by Paul Bettany), despite Enfys, but i think Dryden is a badass looking crime leader for how ruthless he is and he had a history with Tobias. When i heard is that he was originally played by Michael K. Williams to be look a half human/half lion, but he didn't a return for a reshoot and being replaced by Bettany for changing the character's look. But i think it looks interesting than having a questionable hybrid that i've heard. But of course, Bettany did a good job as a serious lord.

And last and probably my favorite to give more chance is L3-37 (played by Phoebe Waller-Bridge with voice and motion-capture), who's a female droid of Lando's companion and a navigator. But she's considered being superior than some scrappy droids than some perfect ones with a "don't give a F***" persona. Despite that, but she's kinda funny that i like her. Though i heard that she was claimed as the first feminist droid in Star Wars universe, but i think they're wrong that we've seen some other female droids before. Hypocrite aside, but i think she's a likable character, but probably short, which it sucks since they could've give more chance to shine for her.

There are few others, but i don't get carrying on for limit list or even spoilers. The characters are rather above average with some characters that i like such as Solo himself, Chewie, Tobias and L3-37. But some aren't as interesting, but rather a waste of potential of development or appearances.

And now for my final opinion of this film.
Overall, its probably a lot better than Rogue One, with some fun actions, some good characters, the production looks great and the story is nice. Although its not a perfect one with some flaws like it feels a bit nothing special, the pacing is questionable since its a 2 hours film, some characters could've give more chance and forgettable and no Stormtroopers in action scene that i wanna make fun of. (Aw well...  But so does the Jedi element that some fans are disappointed, but it didn't matter for me.) I guess its no wonder how their the box-office is pretty weak that it could be a bomb.

Even though it has some problems, but i maybe considered to be recommend to watching this over than Rogue One, but we have to wait for more anthology film to be good, including Boba Fett.

So for that, il give it 7/10. I may not be recommend to watch, but go watch it if you want as a fan of Star Wars.

Now im done of it, but next year, we're going back to the sequel trilogy to end the chapter at Episode IX and hope its gonna be good in conclusion, despite how "The Last Jedi" is the biggest disappointed one we've ever seen.

So this ends of my movie review, if you guys have your opinion or any suggestions, let me know at comment bellow and support me on Pateron.com/Blackevil915 for your big request.

Movie review: Deadpool 2

Warning: The Following review has mature content with strong languages, sexual and maybe violent. Readers discretion is advised.

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

From 2 years ago, i talked about Deadpool the movie, which it had a potential that i like to see, since i love Deadpool. As a result, it was more like an above average, with typical story and kinda fast pace. Don't give me wrong, its a good movie featuring the merc with the mouth.

Deadpool: *pops out of nowhere* Yeah, i've already mentioned that me and my crew decided to make a sequel that i though it will be twice better than that Shit!

Um... Yeah, i probably think you're right since you released the trailer.

Deadpool: Why thank you, "Canadian boy".

Hehehe, yeah...

Anyway, "Deadpool 2" is a 2018 superhero "R-Rated movie" directed by David Leitch, produced by Simon Kinberg, Ryan Reynolds Deadpool (also wrote this Shit!) and Lauren Shuler Donner, and written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick.

Um, do you really think its good to lined the guy who's playing you?

Deadpool: Because as i told you last year, i never heard of this "Mr. nobody", then i blasted him with "Asta la vista, baby!" then BOOM! He's never seen ever again, unless its the same guy who appeared that godawful green hero.

Right...  Anyway, after the first movie was done, since we like it (sort of), it was quickly announced to make a sequel, which it was already confirmed that we like to find out. Especially with Cable from the future.

Deadpool: No Shit, Sherlock, who would've though he was to kill me to targeting our boy. He's pure evil as T-800.

Either that or im glad he was not working in Skynet. Or maybe Thanos.

So, with all that said, will this movie doing better than the first one, or it will probably left in the dust just like...   Um...  extinguishing in half?

Deadpool: Don't tell you have a Infinity Gauntlet?

Sadly, yeah. *shows that im wearing right hand version of Infinity Gauntlet* Don't take it too seriously, or il snap, since what you did on my old ID pic.

Deadpool: *sigh* Fine... Just roll your thing, Thanos jr.

Its Anthony, thank you very much...

The Story

Surprisingly, its actually a better story than the typical rescuing damsel in distress from the first one.

It takes place two years after the first movie, where Deadpool successfully save his girlfriend Vanessa. After celebrating Vanessa's birthday, Wade Wilson notice group of thugs trying to kill them. While Wade tries to kill them, but it ended up too late that his girlfriend was shoot dead. Causing him feel devastated and probably blamed her death, leaving to commit suicide, despite for the fact he's still alive with healing ability. After being dragged to the X-Mansion by Colossus, he accepted to reunite with him and Negasonic Teenage Warhead, while they're going together, they noticed about a boy named Russell Collins (aka FireFist) who's breaking out of orphanage called "Mutant Reeducation Center", despite that Deadpool tries to save Russell and kill one staff member of orphanage, causing him to sent in isolation prison of mutants called "Icebox", big mistake... Meanwhile, a future soldier named Cable going back in time to kill Russell before he becoming a dangerous killer. Its up to Deadpool to not only getting out of prison (since he's powerless that he's still suffering a cancer), but also bringing members (including Domino) to creating "X-Force" in order to stop Cable.

Like i said, i find the story itself is much better that i expected. Yes, it sounds like a similar story of "The Terminator", but different tone, even though its probably an obvious escort story a bit. However, there's a subplot involving whenever Deadpool got passed out, he was in some kind of dream where he sees Vanessa, begging to see her again. I understand why they want to include a drama, but i find that they used it three times. Aside from that, i like they add an extra plot element where Deadpool wanted to creating his own group of X-Men known as "X-Force" is actually nice to include with adding various mutants that we may or may not care, even though the one that we like for inclusion was Domino. However, the movie got a problem that the pacing is kinda quick like the first movie, which i think it focused on actions, small conversation and a kinda dream scene, even though its an 2 hours film. As for the jokes, i find they're always funny, since im a fan of Deadpool, even though some are overused like running over by a car, which i find it funny, but sometimes it gets predictable.

The story itself is quiet better than before, but the pacing seems to be short for an 2 hours film.

Deadpool: Sounds like we're obviously doing a reference of Terminator since i mentioned the catchphrase.

Either that or Robocop from the first movie.

Deadpool: Yeah right.

The production

Its quiet similar from the previous film, but i think its more interesting to watch. The action scene is pretty cool to watch, chasing after a prison bus, fight club in "Icebox" and various locations in Asia(?). Unfortunately, the violent seems to be tone down a bit with less blood spread while decapitation or even gun shooting, while yes, you can see blood of wound, but i felt it got less of money shot. I guess its because they don't want to get too much in R-rated movie, otherwise it'll go to X-rated, since the first movie has a lot of violent with bloods and possibly exposure nudity.

As for the costumes, some are keeping and some are new that i think i like. First up, i always like the costume of Deadpool, always look the same like the comic that we will never forget, especially they did a good job of a makeup of Wade Wilson. And for Colossus, its pretty obvious that he was appeared in motion capture, even though that sometimes that he looks a bit low-quality of CG, which i know they trying to be look similar in the comic, but i felt they could fix the quality, especially that some action scene can be look a bit cheap, despite some action scenes are great. As for the new characters's outfit, while Negasonis Teenage Warhead new wardrobe is actually better, but some like Cable and Domino looks pretty cool, some are kinda average like Juggernaut and some wasn't that i expected like Russell.

However, the production had a problem what they're trying for the stunt. The most infamous comes that they originally attended that Domino is riding a bike, with a stunt-woman name Joi "SJ" Harris who portrayed as a stunt double of Domino riding a motorcycle without the helmet, but only in wig, which she lost her control, crashed on Shaw Tower and died with her age of 40. She was replaced by an other stunt-woman for various take, until it was ultimately scrapped due to the difficult reason and they dedicated Joi Harris at the end credit. Pretty shame that it would've been cool, but of course, she's not the only one who died in filming stunt.

The production itself is pretty good with actions and costumes, but the violent is sorta tone down that im kinda disappointed and some appearance would've been better.

Also, R.I.P. to Joi Harris.

Deadpool: Yeah, she would've make a excellent stunt instead with my Vespa.

Um, i think you did.

Deadpool: Fuck!

The characters

Despite some welcoming return, but we introduce some new characters.

Deadpool: *pushes me away* Sorry "Mr. Liberty", i decided taking over to explaining who i am. *ahem* I am Deadpool, aka Wade Wilson, aka the same guy who portrayed the previous Deadpool to make me look embarrassed that i wanna killing off that MotherFucker or even the guy with a green ring with vomiting CGI. But now, they and other guy that i never heard made me look good and an Extreme Sex Machine with my guns and Leonardo's duo swords. I love using the 4th wall while killing people. But of course, i am nearly immortal with healing power after my cancer hit me hard. But now, i like to do whatever i want for my crime-fighting and making my own movie. Anyway, back you to, Antonio!

Again, its Anthony! *get up and sigh* Thanks for taking over my review...

Deadpool: Np, bro.

Whatever...

Anyway, then we have Colossus (played by Stefan Kapičić for not only voice, but also in motion capture) who's sorta like the leader of X-Men, Negasonis Teenage Warhead (played by Brianna Hildebrand) who's despite as a character background, but also depicted as a lesbian with Yukio, when GLAAD (Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) looked it up, they're actually fine for it, thanks GLAAD, and Vanessa (played by Morena Baccarin) who's a typical love interest, but killed off shortly.

So what about our new casts?

First up, we have Cable (played by Josh Brolin, aka Thanos from Avengers: Infinity War), he's a soldier from the future and claimed to be opposite from Deadpool. Even though he's a bit similar concept of Terminator, but he's probably the most badass cyborg character i've ever seen and Josh is always did a great job for his antagonist role like Thanos. After all, this is second time he fully appeared in Marvel films (not counted when he appeared as a cameo).

Then we have Russell Collins (played by Julian Dennison). He's a mutated orphan with fire power. However, i had a hard time to thinking whether that he's good or bad, similar to Cable, but Cable was a badass, while Russell is rather mix, which he has a cool power with fire, even though he was kinda being a Dick as a kid. Don't give me wrong, i think Julian did a not bad job of his acting.

Then we have a member of X-force, Domino (played by Zazie Beetz). She's a mercenary mutant with the power of luck. Despite she has a beautiful look in the comic or in the movie, this is gotta be the most boring development i've ever heard. Even though she does "lucky", but she's another character background, but at least she got some action with guns, kinda like her leader Deadpool.

They're few other characters like Yukio (played by Shioli Kutsuna), Blind Al (played by Leslie Uggams), Dopinder (played by Karan Soni ), Juggernaut (played by Ryan Reynolds), Weasel (played by T.J. Miller) and Black Tom Cassidy (played by Jack Kesy).

I find that some characters (including the new ones) are pretty enjoyable that i like the development or even the acting. while some others are just in the background or probably waste of time. But accept for Russell, he's rather good that i can tell.

Deadpool: Already then, does that mean my second one is actually better than before that i was easily regret for typical story?

Well for my final opinion....    I agree with you.

Deadpool: *gasps or surprise*

Overall, its actually superior than the first one. The story is much better that we expected, some actions are great, some characters are likable and the jokes are funny as hell. Even though that it doesn't mean that its perfect, that the violent is kinda tone down, some characters are used to be wasting time of filler sometimes the CG is kinda cheap. If you wanna see a good Deadpool movie, i highly recommend to watch the sequel, otherwise you'll awkwardly skipping from the first one if you haven't know his origin.

And for that, il give it an 8/10. It maybe a great film but again, its not 100% perfect.

Deadpool: Wow, sounds like you take good rating for my sequel. And i was wondering you wanna join me to the "X-Force"?

Um, no, cause i have plenty of stuff to do on my own.

Deadpool: Pweeeaaas--

Ahem...! *raise my right hand of "Infinity Gauntlet*

Deadpool: Oh...!

If you're doing that, you'll lose almost everything. and probably so do mine...

Deadpool: Yeah. Thank you very much, its Chimichanga times! *jumps away to the Taxi with Dopinder and rides away*

Huh...

Anyway, So this ends of my movie review, if you guys have your opinion or any suggestions, let me know at comment bellow and support me on Pateron.com/Blackevil915 for your big request.

Movie review: Avengers Infinity War

*walks out of movie theater*

...

Holy S***...! What a movie...

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

We've seen plenty of Marvel Cinematic Universe films that we've been anticipated what we like to see, some are welcoming like "Iron Man", "Avengers", "Black Panther" and "Thor Ragnarok". But others didn't get attention like "Thor: Dark World", "Ant-Man" or even "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2".

But then... The time has yet to come that after watching "Civil War", which is like our biggest request, we have finally got one big story that we like to see on the big screen with... With two parts to be exact.

"Avengers: Infinity War" is a 2018 Marvel Superhero film directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, produced by Kevin Feige (yet again) and written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely.

What we've heard about Infinity War, it was originally to be titled "Part 1" for this year and "Part 2" for 2019. But they had to changed the title simply called "Avengers Infinity War", while the second one, we'll save find out next year. Not to mention, with a big combination casts of Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy is a one helluva payment for budget, with over 320 million dollars, which it maybe considered as the most expensive MCU film ever made.

So, with all that said, will this movie holds up for a huge anticipation of MCU film, or is it gonna be the biggest disappointment film that its not worth of huge budget?

Well, lets find out...

The Story
It was sometimes taking place after Ragnarok, our Asgard heroes are powerless that Thor is all alone and the space stone was taken by our big nemesis, Thanos. While Bruce Banner (aka Hulk) was taken to Earth, he was in warning about Thanos to Dr. Strange, Iron Man and Spider-man, which they're about to call other members of the Avengers to working together. However, they're separated for their defense of infinity stones. Although not only they're working together, but also teaming up with Guardians of the Galaxy. So, its up to them to stop Thanos plan before he'll snap for destruction.

I find the story is faithful to figure out to keep the infinite stones safe from Thanos, but separated for plot elements. Like where Stark, Strange, Star-Lord, Spider-man and Drax going in different world to keeping Dr. Strange safe, Thor, Rocket and Groot find to build a new weapon for Thor and even Rogers, Black Widow, Wanda Maximoff, Sam Wilson and James Rhode going to Wakanda with Black Panther to keeping wounded Vision safe for healing. But another subplot that it has, is the relationship between Gamora and Thanos, which its obvious that Gamora was adopted by our villain from few years ago before she has another sister Nebula, i find it touching, but probably risky.

Speaking of risky, the third and final act is probably the most shocking i've ever watched, but i won't talking about it. But if i will, its gonna be pretty upset for all of you MCU fans out there, like i lost all my words at the end. Which i understand the reason why we're gonna wait for the second part. I mean, its like "Star Wars The Force Awakens", but ten times more in my opinion. But the downside is that it was a very long movie with two in a half hours to watch. And no, i wasn't in pain while watching like constipation.

The story itself is rather pretty good to follow the comic, but you think its too long to going on before the shocking third and final act?

The production
As always, the production itself is always pretty damn good to watching.

For starter, it obvious the visuals are pretty good to look at, nice quality and stuff. But one thing that i was appreciated is the different worlds/lands. Aside of places that we've been before like "Knowhere" and Wakanda, the other places like titans, Vormir and Nidavellir are pretty cool, because we always like to see other worlds outside Earth and previous places. They did a good job oc other worlds's concept, while some places are obvious in CG or even traditional filming.

The costumes and appearances are rather above average that some i really like, but some didn't work for me. Some are pretty cool like Spider-man's new gears, Iron Man's armor, Hulkbuster, Captain America and probably Thanos. But others not so much like Black Widow, which i don't think having blond hair will be a good fit.

But of course, the action scenes are pretty good to watch, bu this in this movie, it goes mixed between lighter and darker. But one action scene that i love, its the war in Wakanda on third act, but i won't tell what happened there.

The presentation of the movie itself is well-produced for great concepts, fun action and probably an above average designs of characters appearance/costumes.

The characters
Though im sure that a lot of you guys are probably know about our heroes.

For the Avengers, you got Iron Man/Tony Stark (played by Robert Downey Jr) who's a genius billionaire, playboy, philanthropist, Captain America/ Steve Rogers (played by Chris Evans) who's a strong leader of the group and veteran solder of WW2, Black Widow/Natasha Romanoff (played by Scarlett Johansson) who's a trained spy of S.H.I.E.L.D., Spider-Man/Peter Parker (played by Tom Holland) who's a teenage hero and apprentice of Iron Man, Hulk/Bruce Banner (played by Mark Ruffalo) who's a genius scientist that made him into big mean green of anger, Thor (played by Chris Hemsworth), the god of thunder and currently king of Asgard and so much more on the list to talk about.
Or even familiar with Guardians of the Galaxy like Star-Lord/Peter Quill (played by Chris Pratt) the hybrid human/celestial and leader of his group, Rocket (voiced by Bradley Cooper) who's a engineer/bounty hunter with guns, Groot (voiced by Vin Diesel) who's a humanoid tree with Rocket, Gamora (played by Zoe Saldana) who's an adoptive daughter of Thanos, Drax (played by Dave Bautista) who's a warrior with vengeance and Mantis (played by Pom Klementieff) who's an alien with  empathy powers.

But like i said, there are are so many heroes to talk about on the list, but most of them has changing, like Iron Man becoming somewhat concerned of the future from Thanos, Vision (played by Paul Bettany) who's in line of danger from his mind stone, Black Widow becoming somewhat darker from Civil War or even Groot became adolescent.

Though there other villains like Cull Obsidian, Ebony Maw, Proxima Midnight and Corvus Glaive. They are not bad.

But the one that we always like to talk about, is Thanos himself (played by Josh Brolin, who's also currently playing as Cable in Deadpool 2, talk about double role in 2018), while he appeared as a small appearances like Guardians of the Galaxy and Age of Ultron, but his role in the movie was pretty damn good. Not only he's portrayed as a threatening villain, but he also has a sympathetic figure, due to his daughter Gamora, which is nice to reunite, but like i said, it will be a complicated story for them. But of course, Josh kicks ass his role, he did a good job as a villain.

While its nice to see plenty of heroes working together, but downside is that most of them what we like are killed off too early, but i won't tell who's the body count, i find it shocking, but probably unfair. I mean, we like to see some heroes give more chance before dying like maybe in third act or something, but thats just my nitpick that i don't want to expose. another downside is that we don't know who are we root for, was it Iron Man, Captain America, Guardians of the Galaxy or Thor? I know they're separated for their plans, but again, its just me.

The characters are once again, likable to watch, especially for the all-star casts of previous MCU films.

And now for my final opinion of this film.
Overall...  I have no words to say about it, it was...   A shockingly good movie that i can tell. With pretty good story, great presentation, fun characters, epic actions, awesome villain, fun humor moments and the final act is shocking as hell. Even though i have a problem like some characters that we like are killed off or even confusion rooting of hero. Despite my problem, this is a MCU film that it has to be seen and believe for the big fat war against Thanos. Like, i recommend to watch as possible without have a shocking feeling. Although im aware some people are probably dislike the movie because what happened at the third act or something, but thats just their opinion.

So, was it the best MCU film ever? Probably yeah, along with "Black Panther". And is it the best movie ever? Well, i don't know, because they're other films that we have to wait which one that it deserves to be the best for my future list, in other words, we have to wait for them.

I was thinking to give a 10, but i had to going down, with a 9/10. Again, this is a film that has to be seen and believe for the battle two group of heroes against Thanos.

 So this ends of my movie review, if you guys have your opinion or any suggestions, let me know at comment bellow and support me on Pateron.com/Blackevil915 for your big request.

(review end, but meanwhile)

Corporate Driver: What?! I though its gonna be a third strike of bad movie!! What the F*** is that?!

Secretary Driver: We better find the way to stop him...

Corporate Driver: Yeah, there's gotta be an easy way to suffering him, but how we're gonna dealing at Canadian boy...?

To be continued...?

Movie review: Rampage

*walks out of movie theater, but not in a good mood again*

... *sigh*  This is the second strike that i watched a not good film...!

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

You know, we always like video games, it always got our intention that we make a movie for entertainment and profit, because it perhaps a part of our childhood or in modern time.

But for Hollywood, it has no acceptation, because what we know, they're trying so hard make something different without repetitive story, but in reality, they're a lot of movie based video game done poorly for the story, D**k teasing visuals and more. The most notable example is Super Mario Bros the movie, which is a live action film from the 90's for the first time, but pretty bad from a hell development and a horrible execution. Even some actors like the late Bob Hoskins admitted that it was a "F***ing nightmare".

Though they're some are good in my opinion, like "Need for Speed the movie", it was not bad, but im pretty its a sorta knockoff of "Fast and Furious series". Even though it was also based on video game, but i wasn't a fan of the franchise, not because its my appeal, its because F*** you EA.

but then, there's one film that i was curious, even though i should've learn before going to the theater...

"Rampage" is a 2018 sci-fi kaiju films directed and produced by Brad Peyton, other producers by Beau Flynn, John Rickard and Hiram Garcia, and written by Ryan Engle. (while the screenplay are Carlton Cuse, Ryan J. Condal and Adam Sztykiel)

For those you don't know, it was an obvious cash-in movie based on arcade classic by Midway with a same name. Though i never play the arcade machine, but i played on computer and it was simple and pretty fun. It released a lot of ports for old school download and even spawning sequels.

But of course, some people though will be a good idea to make a cinema blockbuster  based on Midway game that we all know and love, but screwing up at my curiosity.

So, how can this movie got bad?

Lets find out...

The Story

This one goes completely different from the video game. Instead of three characters got mutated into monsters, it goes opposite.

It begins where a space station from "Energyne" was destroyed by a mutated rat from a canisters that they contained pathogen, which is a gene cause various animals to grow big and aggressive. One member was escape with a pod, but short-live, causing three canisters trailing across at locations in US. Meanwhile, a primatologist named Davis Okoye works in San Diego wildlife of apes and friend with albino gorilla named "George", however, his gorilla friend was exposed from pathogen, causing to growing bigger and raging, that Davis was concern about him. However, two others where exposed like a wolf nicknamed "Ralph" and crocodile nicknamed "Lizzie". Its up to Davis to stop George to keep him peace and probably dealing with two giant monsters.

Honestly, i find the story feels like it was done before about animals being mutated into giant sized, it would've sound good, but in practice, its rather boring and creative for giving a development, but not for execution. But of course, as i agree, it has less faithful from the arcade. In the game, three people were exposed from experiment to transforming giant monsters from "Scumlabs", it maybe weird, but i personally like the story in the game. But in the movie, it wasn't that i got bored easily.

Its one of those movie based on video game that its obviously nothing to do with video game and we all know its gonna be dumb.

The production
Though i maybe give a credit for the presentation, it looks pretty good.

For example, the designs of George and other monsters are pretty good and kinda creative to showing some new abilities like Ralph and Lizzie, while George appearance looks not bad, just a white fur of gorilla. But, its obvious to notice that George was all done in motion capture, which its nice, though the behavior seems to be like human-ish than being an animal, i guess its because they want to make him to be friendly with Davis. They also put some humor, but sadly, its not as funny like "Pacific Rim Uprising", pretty poor. Another problem is that like before, its just a D*** tease to showing the visuals of monsters and action, its good, but once again, graphics aren't everything, its the story makes the movie, much like video games, as i predicted, its just outright desperate to make it look cool, but in reality, it wasn't, so stop trying to be showoff, this is a movie, not an art gallery.

Though the filming location and visuals are great, but i am so sick of their desperation, because all i care, is the story and maybe the characters...!

The characters
Speaking of the characters, i expecting to be probably something new or something. But, some are good, but others aren't as interesting for no special personalities.

The first and probably the only one that i consider a character is Davis Okoye (played by The Rock himself, Dwayne Johnson.), he's a former US soldier and primatologist for gorillas like George. I find him to be pretty cool and nice with his albino gorilla friend. Though the relationship between him and George are an obvious similar to King Kong and Ann Darrow, but different. He can communicating him with gestures to George which i kinda like their conversation and friends. But of course, i think The Rock did a nice job for his role, cause he's a biggest star since he wrestled in WWE.

The main antagonist named  Claire Wyden (played by Milan Akerman) is rather an ok, though she looks gorgeous, but not as good, she's basically a CEO of Energyne and probably a terrorist for her gene towards animals. Not bad, but not good enough for execution. Unless you counted her brother named Brett Wyden (played by Jake Lacy) who's an idiotic brother that i don't like for how dimwitted he is.

As for Davis's sidekick, they're aren't as interesting what i was expecting,  Dr. Kate Caldwell (played by Naomi Harris) is just a typical female sidekick who's discredited genetic engineer and Harvey Russell (played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan) who's a semi wisecracking government agent OGA.

While the rest isn't have any specials at all. Though some acting are good like The Rock, while the others aren't as good what i've watched. They looks like they're trying, but its obvious that they deserve better than being in this film.

The characters are easily bellow average with some good ones like Davis Okoye and others are bland and boring.

And now for my final opinion of this film.
Overall, Rampage 2018 is one of those movie based game is very bad. With typical story, desperate visuals and bellow average characters. Like i said, i can agree that it would've been ok to call a different name, instead of adapting from classic arcade game by Midway. If you're a fan of giant monsters, maybe its for you. But if you're like me, you better learn your lesson, do not, watch a movie base game, its not gonna be good for the change and more, just stay way from it. Its just boring as hell that i don't feel like its entertaining nor even exciting, its just a waste of time and money...!

Thats why i rate this movie a 3/10. Its absolutely unwatchable that il easily regret it.

*sigh*

This is the second time i watched a bad movie. First is "Pacific Rim Uprising" and then this? I feel like im in Baseball with two strikes of bad movies, if i reached more than three, il probably feel that 2018 is a Shit year of movies... But il prove it to find some good movies like "Avengers: Infinity War".

Either way, so this ends of my movie review, if you guys have your opinion or any suggestions, let me know at comment bellow and support me on Pateron.com/Blackevil915 for your big request.

Corporate Driver: *laughs* Oh man, we got him again! We got two movies to torturing him!

Secretary Driver: You said it, sir. We better pick some other films are deserve to be bad for potential.

Corporate Driver: Indeed. But lets hope that "Avengers: Infinity War" will easily make a big fat disappointment...!
