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 amo...

Rating All MCU Films So Far And a Series average review Look, I'm not a big fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), but I will admit there are some good films. I haven't seen all of them, but I have seen most of them. Maybe someday I will write reviews for each of the films, but until then, I will use this post to give my ratings for MCU films. If I write a review for a MCU film, just click on the title of the film and it will take you to the film's review.  Phase 1 Iron Man: 4/5 The Incredible Hulk: 1/5 Iron Man 2: 3/5 Thor: 1/5 Captain America: The First Avenger: 3.5/5 Marvel's The Avengers: 3/5 Phase 2 Iron Man 3: 3/5 Thor: The Dark World: Skipped Captain America: The Winter Soldier: 3.5/5 Guardians of the Galaxy: 0.1/5 Avengers: Age of Ultron: 2.7/5 Ant-Man: 3/5 Phase 3 Captain America: Civil War: 3/5 Doctor Strange: 3/5 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2: Skipped Spider-Man: Homecoming :...

Avengers Endgame Movie Review A Good Movie, But Infinity War Was Better I know I know, I'm late to reviewing Endgame. There has been some stuff in my personal life which has been taking up my time from the blog. If you're interested, check my last update . Anyways, onto the review. Avengers Endgame starts right off from Infinity War. If I go any further than that, I fear I'm going into spoiler territory. The beginning and ending of this film are fantastic! Seriously, they're the best parts of the movie. They were very well acted. The action scenes are done very well in the film. It truly was a fun time whenever the action came on. I was surprised the characters which were focused on in the film. As you know, Captain Marvel just came out a couple months ago, and the way they were hyping her, felt like she was going to be really important to Endgame . She barley was in the movie, and she really didn't do anything which I was surprised about. A couple of...

Aquaman Movie Review A fun time at the theater So, I did see this movie a few days ago with my dad, and because of New Years, and my  books , I thought now would be a good time to review Aquaman. The movie starts out with the origins of Aquaman, as he is tasked with saving Atlantis from his half brother, before he declares war on the surface. To prevent this, Aquaman must go out and find a special trident, which will make him King. The plot for this film is pretty straightforward and I'm fine with that. I was happy to see James Wan as the director, given his other  style of films. Aquaman  was hyped up a little by my friends, but they didn't hype it up to much. I think this is going to end up being short review, and I'm surprised to say that because when I started writing this I thought I would have more to say about Aquaman, but honestly, this is just a turn your mind off and have fun, sort of film. I will say this movie is better than some other  DC fil...

So, I just got back from seeing Avengers Infinity War, and this movie was better than I expected it to be. Now, if you've been following this blog, or you know me personally, then you know that I'm not a real big fan of the MCU. However this is one of there better movies that they have made in recent memory. Most of the comedy in marvel movies is absolutely terrible and an abomination to the art of comedy as a whole.  Yet this movie did sneak in some good jokes now and again. For the most part the actions scenes are done well, though there is a minor spoiler here. In Wakanda, there is a big fight scene that happens. Two armies go at it and I have to say for a highly advanced society which one of the characters called guns primitive in Black Panther, their tactics seem very primitive. This highly advanced society just decides to do a full on charge and break formation. Come on guys, take a note from one of the greats about tactics, like Hannibal, Scipio, or Alexander the Grea...
