I love this film and not ashamed to admit it! Man of Steel is definitely up there with Superman The Movie and Superman II as one of my absolute favorite Superman films that I will continue to rewatch at least a dozen times. The performances are excellent, the cinematography is beautiful and still holds up, the story is very well written and executed, and the soundtrack by Hanz Zimmer is fantastic as well. Plus this film is a million times better than Superman 2025

I wanted to like this film. While it had amazing cinematography and great special effects with some gripping action sequences, the characters were unlikable, nor do we ever spend enough time getting to know each of them, and it completely disrespects the service and sacrifices of the British soldiers and sailors by pretending that the Americans were the ones who saved the day. Also, Matthew Mcconaughey’ character straight up punches a guy for disobedience. I did some research and found out that physical assault is prohibited in the military and whoever uses abuse risks termination from service. But sure, since we’re rewriting history then why not rewrite the rules where it’s perfectly okay for a naval captain to physically assault and bully their own crew mates. Absolutely disgusting and offensive. I do not recommend you watch this offensive, mean spirited fan fiction. Instead I recommend you watch Das Boot, Saving Private Ryan, Midway (1976), or Hacksaw Ridge, which are infinitely better films than this one.

Pros: Good visuals and cinematography Javier Bardem is great as Salazar. A few fun moments here and there. A good opening and ending. Geoffrey Rush is great as always. Will and Elizabeth return. David Wenham is an interesting newcomer. The Black Pearl released from the bottle. A few good music scores. Cons: Terrible writing. Several continuity errors and plot holes. No Philip and Syrena. No Angelica. Constantly makes fun of and insults women. Carina is an annoying know it all feminist. Way too much cringe humor. Slow and un-engaging sword duels. Tired and disinterested acting. Sloppy choreography The two love interests are generic and annoying. David Wenham is wasted. Orlando Bloom is wasted. Keira Knightley has no dialogue and is also wasted. Scrum is a pointless, underused, undeveloped, and unfunny character. Too many comic relief characters. Disrespects the franchise, its legacy, and the source material. Weak direction. All men are dumb or evil. The witch character has no development or background. Carina being Barbossa’s daughter is a dumb twist that makes no sense and was completely unnecessary. Will doesn’t come and help his son when he’s in danger. Too many plot contrivances and coincidences. Characters make dumb and illogical decisions. Gibbs betrays Jack twice. Jack Sparrow is dumbed down, humiliated over and over again, and is borderline assassinated. There are no stakes. Nothing is ever taken seriously. The majority of the soundtrack are just songs borrowed by Hanz Zimmer’s music. Henry is reckless and immature and is a poor imitation of his father. No Boostrap Bill Turner. No Pintel and Ragetti. In short, this movie is just flat out bad and I don’t recommend it to any Pirates of the Caribbean fans new or ongoing. Please, just stick with the first four and move on.

Fantastic film I never get tired of rewatching. A nice escape into the Caribbean, and a million times better than DMTNT

Pirates of the Caribbean On Stranger Tides is an excellent adventure film with great characters, an awesome cast, a fantastic score, brilliant writing and direction, impressive cgi and visual effects with some beautiful scenery and set designs. On Stranger Tides may not be as good as the first three films, but it’s still an enjoyable experience, and is incredibly underrated. Johnny Depp hasn’t lost a beat as Jack Sparrow, who by the way is still an awesome character as he always is. Penelope Cruz was a great new character and the perfect match for Jack, Ian McShane was perfect as Blackbeard, and Geoffrey Rush is still as awesome as Jack. And of course my two favorites are Philip Swift and Syrena (Sam Claflin and Astrid Berges Frisbey) who have a beautiful love story and steal every scene they’re in. Hopefully one day we might see these two again in the distant future, because they have so much potential as characters and with they’re relationship. Pirates of the Caribbean On Stranger Tides definitely earns a 9 out of 10 ranking and I recommend it to anyone whose a big fan of this franchise, or anyone who needs some cheering up after the depressing failure that was Dead Men Tell No Tales

I mostly came to this show mainly because of Jenna Ortega. I knew very little about the Addams Family. But I am so glad I watched this show. I enjoyed every episode and loved every single character. Wednesday and Enid are my two favorites because they are absolutely adorable, and Jenna and Emma share wonderful on screen and off screen chemistry together. The show is funny, mysterious, and exciting with a few twists and turns here and there, with an incredible supporting cast. I’m curious to see where the show will progress in season two which is set to come out sometime next year.

Yes Day is a fun film to watch with your family or in need of something new and different to watch in your spare time. This movie has great acting with some heartfelt messages as well and has plenty of clean good hearted humor. I also really love Jennifer Garner and Jenna Ortega, which by the way, this was the first of her movies I watched, and I have been obsessed with her ever since. Definitely recommend. Next on my radar is Family Switch, which also stars Jennifer Garner with Emma Myers who I also really love.
