Justice League The Snyder Cut Movie Review

It Was Good

I just finished watching, Justice League The Snyder Cut and it was good. I don't think it was great, but it was good.

I'm just going to use IMDB's description for this film, "Determined to ensure Superman's ultimate sacrifice was not in vain, Bruce Wayne aligns forces with Diana Prince with plans to recruit a team of metahumans to protect the world from an approaching threat of catastrophic proportions. The task proves more difficult than Bruce imagined, as each of the recruits must face the demons of their own pasts to transcend that which has held them back, allowing them to come together, finally forming an unprecedented league of heroes. Now united, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash may be too late to save the planet from Steppenwolf, DeSaad and Darkseid and their dreadful intentions."

So after a ton of build up, how was it? It was fine. I thought it was an enjoyable film, but it is being over hyped. This review is going to be shorter than I anticipated. I don't have a whole lot to say.

I suppose I'll start on the more positive notes. It is better than the theatrical release fore sure. The film has solid action and it was nice to see. The pacing is surprisingly good given the fact that this is a four hour long film. The main villain of the movie was improved. That's probably one of the best parts of the film was the villain.

I really liked the scenes with Cyborg and Flash. I think those two actors nailed their performances and I would see solo films for these characters. I think I would have liked to have seen a little more of these characters though.

The CGI is good 80% of the time. There are a few scenes which don't really look that good, but they are in the minority. The design of the Steppenwolf was pretty cool and the CGI done on him was pretty solid in my opinion.

I didn't really feel like these actors had the best chemistry all the time though. This is just something that was picking at the back of my mind as I'm writing this.

I've been watching more of the DCAMU movies as of late, and I'm enjoying them a heck of a lot more than the DCEU. I'm going to include the Snyder Cut in this. Though The Snyder Cut is fun, it is an investment.

If you like DC, I would recommend watching the Snyder Cut at least once, but I don't know about its rewatch value.

final score: 3/5

Uncharted Movie Review

Uncharted Movie Review Not As Good As The Games I went and saw the movie Uncharted a while ago, and it was as I expected it to be. If you are a fan of the games, well... prepare for disappointment. Uncharted follows Nathan Drake (Tom Holland), a low level thief as he is recruited by Victor Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) to go on a treasure hunt. As someone who has played some of the games, but not all, I have to say that the Uncharted film is what I thought it would be. A mishmash of all four games but not committing to any of them. The acting is a bit stale, and the plot is predictable. The camera work was fine, but the music was underused. Tom Holland should not have been Nathan Drake. He lacks the charisma, the attitude, and the charm. He may have passed for a teenage Nathan Drake, but he should have only been in a few scenes. I'm not the biggest fan of Tom Holland either long time readers may know. Now, onto Mark Wahlberg as Victor Sullivan. Mark Wahlberg is way too young to be playi

Coda Movie Review

Coda Movie Review This Deserved Best Picture So, I just got back from seeing Coda, and it was amazing! This was the second attempt to see this film as the first time, someone booked the entire theater for a private screening. I'm going to take from a summary from IMDB to summarize the plot: " As a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults) Ruby is the only hearing person in her deaf family. When the family's fishing business is threatened, Ruby finds herself torn between pursuing her passion at Berklee College of Music and her fear of abandoning her parents." The acting was phenomenal, the cinematography was beautiful, and the story was human. The way this film is crafted is nothing short but excellent. I will not that not everything is 100% accurate, but for narrative reasons, I understand the choices they made. The actors have amazing chemistry together. Everything feels natural between them and they all bring their characters to life. No performance fell flat. I perhaps would

The Batman Movie Review

The Batman Movie Review A Solid Noir Film I went and saw The Batman the other day with one of my buddies and I must say, we really enjoyed it. Granted I don't think this movie is for everyone. The Batman follows Batman (Robert Pattinson) during his second year of crime fighting. When the mayor of Gotham is killed by The Riddler (Paul Dano), it is up to Batman with the help of James Gordon (Jeffery Wright), and Selina Kyle (Zoë Kravitz) to stop him. From a visual point of view, The Batman is gorgeous. Every frame is a painting. The acting is solid, the plot is solid. The musical score is outstanding. I personally loved the film, but there are some things in it that could off-set some Batman fans. I typically get into the acting first, but like you've probably already heard many reviewers say before, the city is a character in this film. Gotham feels real, grounded, and certainly not a place you'd want to visit. Corruption and crime run rampant at every level of society. The
