Black Widow Movie Review

Do Not Watch

I went and saw the new Marvel film the other day, Black Widow with some friends of mine. This movie sucks.
For the synopsis I'm just going to copy the IMDB: "Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow confronts the darker parts of her ledger when a dangerous conspiracy with ties to her past arises. Pursued by a force that will stop at nothing to bring her down, Natasha must deal with her history as a spy and the broken relationships left in her wake long before she became an Avenger."
 Black Widow is boring. The actors have no chemistry, it's the wrong genre, and by golly the ending is stupid. I mean, how can you screw up this bad? You must be trying.

The best part of Black Widow is the opening, then it goes downhill from there. You get the typical Marvel comedy in this film, but there's one joke that is solid cringe. It's done by Natasha's sister, and it should have been cut from the script. 

I almost cannot describe the amount of boredom I had while watching this movie. I almost nodded off at one point. The acting is stale and the cast doesn't look comfortable with each other. For a movie essentially about a trained assassin, there's a lot of big action fights and explosions. The smaller fights would be more impactful.

I thought this would go more in the vain of a spy thriller with a Marvel twist. But they ditch the effort and go generic. I mean, they did take a whole 11 days to write the movie. 

One of the villains is just nuked in the end. I won't say who, but they build up a solid motivation for hating Natasha only to destroy it in seconds. They really had the beginnings of an interesting villain arc, but they threw it in the trash.

I'm done watching this franchise. I don't have plans to continue watching future installments. Black Widow was one of the few Marvel films I was looking forward too, but I can't do this anymore. 



final score: 2/5

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Movie Review

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Movie Review This Was My Dad's Idea Well... I went and saw Dora and the Lost City of Gold today with my dad, and... the film was a lot funnier than it has any right to be. Dora and the Lost City of Gold is a live action adaptation of the Dora tv show on Nickelodeon. Dora, now a teenager, is sent to the City to live with her cousin, Diego, while her parents go exploring for a lost City. When her parents go missing, Dora and her new friends go and search for her parents. I can't believe I'm going to say this, but the movie wasn't half bad. There is a ton of tongue and cheek humor. There is some cringe to the Dora and the Lost City of Gold too, but remember, this is a movie made for kids. As a kids film, it does a fine job. The acting was fine, and for a kids film, everyone did alright. Isabela Moner, who played Dora, did a good job portraying the character from what I remember about the show when I was very young. What surprised...

Norsemen Netflix Show Review So Far

Norsemen Netflix Show Review So Far The funniest show I've seen in years I've been watching a show on Netflix called Norsemen, and I swear this is the funniest show I've seen in years! I can't understate how funny this show can really be, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say about 90% of the jokes land. Norsemen starts off in 790 AD, and follows a few Vikings and their slaves. The show goes through their lives and their trials, but it's done with a comedic spin. If you haven't yet, watch the trailer above to get a better idea of the show. I will say this, this show reminds me of Monty Python ! Some of the jokes Norsemen  are gut busting, and will almost have you rolling on the floor laughing. In an age of bad comedies this show is gold.  I just started watching season 2 the other day, and I just want to keep watching. The episodes are about a half hour long each, and it's the perfect time frame to get the story across. I wouldn't c...
