Captain America: A Brave New World is a pretty deserving take on the new Cap with the typical elements of TWS, CW, and TFTWS sprinkled all over. While the film might lack the finesse of TWS and ensemble of CW, it still packs the essence, punch, and light-hearted moments of what good old Marvel movies were made of. As for the negatives, we have the boring score and extremely revealing marketing materials. Well, that's about it. Everything else worked just fine if not great.

GotG4 is an ode to the Marvel films most of us loved and grew up with. Period.

What is depicted onscreen is a work of art than a delineation of war. Sam Mendes' 1917 is a visual war poetry, both ambitious in scope and grandeur in scale where two Birdmen try to Save sixteen hundred Private Ryans and Corporal Blakes. The plot sounds like the 'saving the world' journey of Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee of the Shire from the Fellowship of the Ring, particularly from its end where they are left by Aragon to be on their own to the Return of the King through the lifeless no-man land, perpetual trenches, ghastly rapid rivers and bone-chilling grotesque remnants of the war. Though the comparison to Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan is inevitable, the scene involving the German fighter pilot, might feel less original as it borrows elements of character arc straightaway. For utmost every ebb and flow, writing commemorates this epic voyage of Blake and Schofield, realistically played by both actors portraying these roles. Before every major obstacle/storm, there is some room for calmness where these characters come across something evocative so they get to have a brief chat about them which for most parts is likeable or at least, puts the morale of a soldier before us. Roger Deakins' cinematography is heralded as one of the greatest of all time, which in fact is true, can still be put in an infamous, not well-known debate. There are numerous 360° panning shots in open fields and tracking shots within trenches, which might leave an audience disoriented as L.A.Times critic Justin Chang states in his review. Yet the greatness vastly outsmarts this negligible irritation. There are two particular sequences in the film, that can easily be considered as two of the greatest cinematic moments of the decade. Thanks to the gut-wrenching score (sixteen hundred man) of Thomas Newman, the light men and the production designers! In the end, staging like how the story unwraps under the trunk of a tree and winds up on a similar note, is what makes this cinema, an art-house and not just another blockbuster entertainment.

When everyone thought a live action film of Pokémon would never be done or even if done, would just end as a joke, they actually made a pretty film out of the blue! With the total runtime just about 100 minutes, the film does what it exactly has to do. Laughs. Tears. Goosebumps. And, all other good things jam packed in to this extraordinary adventure of Tim and his pet, oops, sorry, partner Pikachu, finding his disappeared father in to thin of the air! What's surprising is the surprises that this movie unfolds to its plate. Whilst every commoner expecting a typical Pokémon film where Ash Ketchum and his teen friends would go for Pokémon hunt, this film is totally nuts. Thanks to Nicole Perlman (co-writer of GotG) for her writing. The film is catchy, emotionally invested and absolutely enjoying some fresh air. And at the same, twisty as Pikachu himself says in the film. The layered twists definitely does justice to the film's title. Henry Jackman, composer of the last two Captain America films, plays the film beautifully in his hands. Passing on to the film's visual appeal, it's all indelibly gorgeous. You know, the Spielberg-ian kind! Last two but, the best two! Rob Letterman for directing this venture and Ryan Reynolds to do the motion-capture for Pikachu. Kudos. Period. Detective Pikachu is a home run for your money this summer!

Avengers : Endgame is the Prestige of Marvel to what was laid before and what lies beyond! This journey of Marvel would be as exciting as a roller-coaster ride and a flight to the future if you'd traveled with Marvel Cinematic Universe ever since the release of Iron Man in 2008; the moment an universe unlike anything else was created, changing the one that we live in, forever. How often audiences get to glimpse a film that invests all of its substance in every scene of its three hours run time? What 'The Return of the King' was to 'The Lord of the Rings' is 'Endgame' to 'The Avengers'. There are two ways this film can be defined. Bloated, the first, the one that comes easily to mind in this world of negativity. The other, well paced and constructed film that can be distinguished as three distinctive films, each nearly an hour, put together in to one gigantic amalgamation of an art that Kevin and team started drawing a decade ago! Everyone knows well what the mad titan Thanos accomplished with his famous snap at the end of Infinity War. Following the grave events of Infinity War, Endgame is all about the grievance and course correction of what miserably went wrong. Marvel's secrecy of hiding the plot elements in the teasers and trailers gave them an upper hand in this film to execute their plans in a very stealthy way in which they'd also really succeeded. Yes, the film enjoys and also exploits the three acts of the film with a slight pinch of suspense. The beginning, the middle and the ending as conveyed earlier, each segment has an unique flavor to it that's way apart from the other two. The start is all drama and talks. It's from the middle the trickier part unwraps its wings. From there on, there's no turning back as the old say. There's adrenaline rush during the middle and adrenaline pump during the climax. Be prepared to lose your throat! Marvel has braved quite a few wild choices here that will break your heart than blowing your brains. Another aspect is that Endgame is also the first brainer in all of the 22 Marvel films. It's a bit complicated at times. May even, seem a little flawed. And, it is. Yet, the choices they've made, still do their intended job. Even if they're not in favor for your heart or your favorite character. Other than the former members, balancing the power of Captain Marvel should have been a difficult task for the makers. But, they have even glorified her entrance even without bringing a slight disturbance to the glorification of the rest of the cast members. That's where Christopher Markus' and Steven Mcfeely 's belief in their scripts becomes the truth, shaping the fundamentals of the future MCU. It can even be said that the tackling of such magnanimous script can only be done by a duos like Russo Brothers. Look at their career graph! From their solo War of The Winter Soldier to the Infinity of Endgame, it's the ladder of inevitable growth! While Infinity War is itself a contained film, Endgame is a farewell letter that's not contained yet, convincing enough. Alan Sylvestri's score adds touch of sympathy during losses and sparks goosebumps in the bones during the highest of highs. Russo's long term collaborator Trent Opal continues to amuses people with his eyes for photographing shots gorgeously. Absolutely, there are few characters given lesser importance than some other as if they're orphaned. And, you'll know it's a valid case once the film ends. In the end, Endgame is an epic reminiscence that triggers the old school memories and restores anew.

Tell me, what makes up a good story? Before that, tell me, what actually is a good story? These days, we often get into this debate where something that's fed or shown entirely new is what we call creativity or a good story. Is that all? Due to that, we even stopped liking films for what they're. There would be this extraordinary sequence in a film. But, the effect is quenched by our sickening mind by comparing it with another similar scene in some other film that would have come before sometime. We say our children that comparison should not be entertained. But, we ourselves, end up doing it. Also, it's an undeniable fact that we've run outta concepts. We've explored almost every nuke and corner of different genres. If you see latest documentaries from some of the film makers like Russo Brothers, you'd be able to see they're looking for Virtual Reality in future to tell their stories to provide a more imbibing experience which would be aiding the above said point. In 1992, a filmmaker known to the public as Steven Spielberg with a bunch of people showcased us a whole new universe in the name of Jurassic Park. It went on to a global phenomenon that it spun a series of films backing it. Back in 2015, when Jurassic World was opened, it's criticized for lack of creativeness and as a money vending machine like Star Wars :The Force Awakens. But, the truth is that they're built on an existing universe so, they've to abide the gravity that these stories naturally possess. You know, that's how the Force works. These stories served as an introduction like a welcome note to their respective universes for a whole new generation of masses. Nearly 25 years later since the original Jurassic Park, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom just had opened to mixed to positive reception. That's not a surprise at all. The surprise is that even though it's pretty good film it's shut to face criticisms like told before. And, it just hurts the sentiments. The Fallen Kingdom provides an incredibly immersive experience throughout its run time. The way this film takes off is a testament itself. The movie also does have few new neatly sketched characters other than Claire and Owen. The techie deserves a special mention. So, does the child character. The jokes also land so well here. On the negative side, the film has few surprises that won't really surprise us as we'd have seen them coming miles before. Since this is a screenplay driven story, we walk past it easily. Few touches that relate us to the old classic literally stands out this time too. Be it when Hammond picture shows up on screen or when the system reboot happens near the climax, this movie nails it like a king. It's a priceless feeling when scenes like this buckle up with the nostalgic mild toned score of John Williams flowing through our ears. The Fallen Kingdom also leads the tale to new possibilities, a new array of structure for upcoming events which makes it the first of its kind. Yes, Jurassic World : Fallen Kingdom is the first film in Jurassic series that has its own voice and rightly defines the choice of its title. Putting it all in a nutshell, The Fallen Kingdom is literally the game changer like The Last Jedi for Jurassic universe that's once ignited by the mastermind Spielberg. "Life always finds a way."
