The Quintessentialist

 Happy 4 Years! Can you guys believe it? It's been four years since I started the blog. The blog has been doing pretty well. It gets around 500 views a month give or take. I wanted to thank you all for coming along on this movie journey with me, and here's to another year of reviews!

Monster Hunter Movie Review Skip This One The other day I went out with one of my friends and we saw Monster Hunter. If you haven't already passed this one up, you'll want to. Monster Hunter follows Artemis (Milla Jovovich) as she is transported to a world of monsters and must survive. Alright guys, this is going to be a short review. This movie is pretty trash. It's not even dumb fun where you can turn your brain off and watch cool action scenes, nope, just dumb. There's one section of the film that is 30 minutes too long. The ending... wait a sec... does this film technically have an ending? I suppose when the credits role that counts as an ending, but going off of basic narrative structure, no Monster Hunter does not have an ending. Don't waste your time on this film, it'll be forgotten in the dustbin of film history. There is not enough substance here for it to even gain cult status.

  Wonder Woman 1984 Movie Review It was ok... So, I just saw Wonder Woman 1984 the other day with my Dad, and it was ok. It's not great or anything, but it was ok.

It's not bottom of the barrel, but it's not near the top. My Dad and I laughed at a few of the jokes, and there was one that did stick out to me when I watched it. Some of the action scenes were alr

 Top 5 Most Anticipated Movies Of 2021 New Year New Movies! Happy New Year's Everyone! Let's hope that this year is better than the last. With that said, I've come up with a list of my Top 5 Most Anticipated Movies Of 2021. Some of these movies will be a repeat of last year's list because a ton of films got pushed. So, let's get into the list! 5.  No Time To Die  I love the James Bond Franchise and I'm excited to see if this final Daniel Craig installment will be good. I'm not as excited for it as I was last year, but I'm still pretty excited. 4. The King's Men  A lot of WWI era films have been knocking it out of the park the past few years, and plus this is a part of the King's Men franchise. Yeah I know it's fictionalized, but I think it could be promising. 3. The Matrix 4 I don't really expect much from this film, but I think it will be a visual spectacle and worth the watch at the very least. I haven't watched the Matrix films for
