Watchmen Spoiler Talk

I think that this is obvious but this is your last warning, this post contains spoilers for the 2009 film, watchmen!!!

First off if you haven't read my watchmen movie review I recommend that you do read it first before you keep going in this post.
Okay so wow the ending of this movie, am I right?!?! So, Dr. Manhattan kills Rorschach because Adrian convinced him that killing those people was for the common good and brought people together against a common enemy which would be Dr. Manhattan. Rorschach was going to tell everyone what Adrian and Dr. Manhattan did, so then he deserves to die according to Dr. Manhattan. But what they didn't see coming was that Rorschach kept a journal telling everything that happened and he gave it to the press before he did. I think it was a great move on Rorschaches part, because the two smartest beings couldn't figure out that he would do that. So, in a way that makes Rorschach the smartest character in the entire film, and I would say that he has one of the strongest moral compasses in the movie as well. Granted Rorschach is a little skewed in his morality and brutality, but nonetheless his ultimate goal is truth and justice. Which I just realized is something that is supposed to be the traits of Dr. Manhattan and Adrain, because they are initially presented as the good guys, while Rorschach is the dark hero. Wow! That is some pretty good writing in the subtext of the film! I'm somewhat impressed!
Anyways I just wanted to give some brief thoughts I had about this movie. Sorry if it seems just like a bunch of rambling, but I'm seriously writing this as just a stream of unedited consciousness at the moment.
This really is a great movie and I do recommend checking out Watchmen.

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
