King Arthur: Legend of the Sword Movie Review

I just saw King Arthur: Legend of the Sword a few hours ago with a friend. I must say, this movie surpassed my expectations.
The movie is directed by Guy Ritchie, and he know what he wants from this film. What we get is a extremely fun and exciting action adventure with some comedy thrown in.
James Herbert edited this film perfectly, the style he brings to the film creates a flow that is a true pleasure to the audience members.
The music score was done by Daniel Pemberton. The songs match perfectly with the scenes that they are set with, I'm considering purchasing some of the songs from the album. Many of the songs rely heavily on percussion instruments.
It had a clean color scheme that was pleasing.
The actors lines are over the top just enough to work, and it works well. Arthur is portrayed by Charlie Hunnam, he preforms the role well I couldn't see anyone else playing Arthur, Charlie was made for this role. The villain of this tale is played by Jude Law, who portrays the villain pretty well if I do say so myself. Unfortunately Merlin isn't really in this film, which it would have been nice to see more of him. There is a female mage portrayed by Astrid Berges-Frisbey, between her character and Arthur there is a slight romance teased as a subplot, but it is not brought forth within this fun film. Arthur's friends are pretty entertaining throughout this movie and they are some of the best side characters in the film.
Of corse you should not expect that this film is based strongly in source material, go in expecting a lose interpretation. I should state though, that this movie is basically a video game movie done right. Go in with these expectations and you shouldn't be let down.



finale score: 4/5

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 (Zoƫ 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
