Great movie, action packed and filled with great characters and story. There are so many things that I’m gonna talk about with this movie. The action, the performances, the beautiful cinematography, and the story are all fantastic in this movie. The action in this movie is so much fun. The director gets really creative with the action scenes. Filled with suspense and great moments that had me glued to my seat. My favorite action scene and no spoilers. Is the pool scene. Easily my favorite action scene in the whole movie. Keanu Reeves’s performance as John Wick is iconic and will remain iconic forever. His performance makes this movie amazing and he deserved and Oscar for this role. I can’t picture anyone different playing this role. He was so convincing on playing this broken and dark character filled with rage. It was so good and Keanu Reeves did a fantastic job as John Wick. The cinematography in this movie is beautiful. Ever shot was absolutely amazing. Some of the best cinematography I’ve ever seen in a movie. Especially in the action scenes. There was no shaky cam and you could see what was going on in every single moment. The story is really good and creative. I had heard all the talk about it and at first I thought to myself it’s just another one of those movies about an retired assassin coming for revenge. The movie has some of those elements in it but adds so much more. Making you care about John Wick and what’s happening to him. The loss he’s suffered and how it seems like the world is actually out to get him. The villain in this movie is also fantastic. Not the guy who killed his dog but his father. His father was so good and was a perfect villain for John Wick. That does lead me into my one problem with this movie. The movie doesn’t really focus on the father of the guy who killed John Wicks dog. It more focuses on the guy who killed John Wicks dog and for most of the movie he was the main villain. He wasn’t nearly as interesting as his father. He just kinda played the stereotype dumby who decided to kill the most dangerous man in the worlds dog. He just was kinda annoying when he was on screen and I wish it would’ve cut back to John Wick or his father. I absolutely loved this movie despite my problems with it. I thought it was fantastic!

Creepy movie! Amazingly directed! I didn’t know what to think of this film when I first saw it. I was a bit confused not gonna lie. But there was something in me that made me want to watch it again. When I watched it the second time I absolutely loved it. This movie really scared me. Enough that the whole time I was looking behind me expecting a giant bunny rabbit to be standing there. All the credit goes to the actors and the director of this movie. If it was someone different playing each of the roles or someone different directing, this movie wouldn’t have been nearly as good as it was. Jake Gyllenhaal added so much to this film, adding suspense and tension. You constantly question whether or not what he’s seeing is real and all that is due to his excellent performance as Donnie Darko. Patrick Swayze in this movie was hilarious. Perfectly imitating those videos that we were shown in middle school. I laughed so hard when I saw Seth Rogan in this movie. It was really funny and the role he played basically defined the rest of his roles in the future. There are so many other performances that added a lot in the film but those are the most memorable to me. The cinematography in this movie is excellent. It felt like a middle school drama at times but when it wanted to it turned into this dark and terrifying thriller that I loved every second of. I have one problem with this movie though and it is that some of the characters can get on your nerves, like the mom and dad character in this movie are just clueless what’s going on in Donnies life. Despite what I said about Seth Rogan, he and this other guy in the movie who are basically bully’s. They just felt so on level and not very interesting. But those are my only problems with the movie. Donnie Darko is a fantastic movie and if you get the time I suggest you watch it!

Amazing, my favorite Jim Carrey performance. This movie blew me away with how real and emotional it was. Jim Carrey really shines in this movie and you really felt for his character. The ending always gives me goosebumps because all of the film before it built up to this one moment in the end and it really paid off. Overall this is a great movie

Not very good. There are some things to like about this movie so let’s start with those. I think most of the characters are well fleshed out especially Deadshot, Harley Quinn, Rick Flag and Diablo. I think those characters really shine in this movie and you understand their motivations and you feel bad for them. There were a couple characters that I absolutely hated though like Killer Croc (who is my favorite Batman villain) and the one person that gets his head blown off in the beginning. Killer Crocs character is horrible and he barely ever says anything, his backstory is explained in basically two seconds and they never dive deep into his story. The guy that gets his head blown off is just another person to kill. The only reason he was in this movie was to get his head blown off. The story is a gigantic mess full of things that don’t make sense in the slightest. First off why are they sending a guy who can shoot people, a girl with a bat, and a guy who can throw boomerangs out to fight this big monster in the city. That just doesn’t make any sense especially because the Justice League was already formed. Why couldn’t Batman just assemble them to go fight it. Doesn’t make any sense. The villain is okay, they attempt to give her some backstory but in the end when they’re fighting her and she was doing her weird dance moves. I couldn’t take it seriously. My favorite part of this movie is easily, (no spoilers) is them in a bar discussing their past mistakes and traumas. I think it was a very good scene and built upon the characters. I’ve gotta dedicate a paragraph just for him. Jared Leto as Joker. I don’t know what they were thinking with casting him. He plays this weird kinda sexualized Joker and it was so weird I hated it. He just went so over the top in all the wrong ways and I hated it. Suicide Squad is definitely not a good movie but I don’t think it’s the worst superhero movie.

I absolutely adored this film. It was fantastic from the acting to the cinematography to the plot this movie proves that Zack Snyder is a genius. Let’s start off with the acting and the performances. Ben Affleck as Batman proves himself to be a fantastic Batman in this movie. It’s his best Batman performance yet. He fulfilled his ark from Batman V superman that Zack Snyder set up for him. His performance added so much to his character in this movie. I loved every moment he was on screen. Henry Cavill superman was also fantastic. Throughout Zack Snyder’s trilogy we waited for Superman’s ark to be fulfilled and finally it was and it really paid off. When he showed up in the final battle scene I got so many goosebumps. Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman continues to impress me every movie she’s in as wonder woman. She gets 10 times better each time. After Zack Snyder set her up in Batman V Superman she continued to prove herself to be the one true wonder woman. Ray Fisher as cyborg was the heart and soul of this movie. In the other justice league he felt like this mediocre side character that was just there to give expedition about the mother boxes. But in this one he feels like a real deep dark character that you get to explore throughout the movie and how he deals with having this alien technology within him and I loved every second he was on screen. Ray Fisher proves himself to be a fantastic cyborg. Ezra Miller flash was really funny in this movie I thought he did a great job as the flash and every moment he was on screen I smiled. He was also pretty funny in the last one but in that one he didn’t have much characterization. In this one you feel bad for him you feel his character you feel his past and what he’s gone through and his past trauma. Ezra Miller did a fantastic job as flash. Jason Momoa Aquaman also did great in this movie. Every moment he was on screen I got goosebumps because he was that good. He provided a lot for his character just from his performance. Jason Momoa I think is the best Aquaman that ever could be. And finally Ciaran Hinds as Steppenwolf did a great job in this movie he felt like a deep dark villain that was scary but you also felt bad for him. In the last justice league that Joss Wheadon directed he felt like another marvel villain that was just mediocre and on the same level throughout the entire movie. But in this one Zack Snyder provides a lot for his character showing that other side of himself that has a family. He made the perfect villain for this movie.There are many other performances that I’d like to give credit to but those actors and actresses that I talked about stand above the rest. I have one problem with this movie though and it’s in the nightmare scene in the end. It may sound like nitpicking but I didn’t like Jared Leto’s Joker. He was better than he was in suicide squad but he was still bad. The plot in this movie was smart. In the last one It felt like another Marvel movie about a big invasion that they had to stop. That was basically it. And this one it has emotional depth in it, it was smart and interesting and Zack Snyder did a fantastic job with it. This movie was a masterpiece and the justice league that I wanted from the very beginning. I wish Warner Bros. would’ve released this movie instead of Justice League back in 2017. #RestoreTheSnyderverse

Absolutely exhilarating. Perhaps Zack Snyder’s best. All the performances and characters were great. Zack Snyder did a great job with taking time to explore these characters and making their backstory interesting. Dave Bautista really stands out in this film. His character was extremely interesting in this film. This might be his best performance yet. Zack Snyder did really well with his character and I cared about him a lot. He wasn’t just a guy who is basically impossible to kill and shoots everything perfectly. People make mistakes and Zack Snyder did a really good job recognizing that and utilizing it in the film. But most of the credit goes to Dave Bautista. The character wouldn’t have been nearly as good if he wasn’t playing him. Zack Snyder’s cinematography was as always beautiful. Every shot was absolutely magnificent. The guy knows how to do excellent camera work. The story was creative and exhilarating. Every action scene I sat up in my seat. It was an absolute blast to watch. Another part of the movie I extremely enjoyed was the creative aspect that Zack Snyder had while making this movie. The zombies were extremely interesting and they weren’t just a monster that walks around for someone to shoot at. Zack Snyder did a lot of creative things with them. How there were different types and all that kind of stuff. It was really interesting and Zack Snyder did really well with the world building in this movie. Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead might be his best movie yet. It was absolutely fantastic and a absolute thrill ride that I had a great time watching.

An absolute blast! I had so much fun with this movie. James Gunn is a genius. There are so many things I loved about this movie. I mean after the movie ended I immediately wanted to watch it all over again. This is by far my favorite Gunn film. All the performances were great! Idris Alba as Bloodsport was incredible. He was such a great character and Idris Alba played him fantastically. John Cena was an absolute joy on screen. I don’t normally like him that much in movies. He’s usually always just John Cena. But in this one I got completely lost in his character and I loved every second he was on screen. Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn is as always phenomenal. When I think of great superhero castings she’s easily in my top three. Once again she proves herself to be the one and only Harley Quinn. And finally my favorite character in the movie, Sylvester Stallone as King Shark. I absolutely loved his character from the beginning of the movie all the way to the end. It was a joy watching him on the screen. The plot is also very good. James Gunn just wanted to go all out with the movie and he absolutely did and it really payed off. It had a very entertaining story and how I thought the Suicide Squad should’ve been handled in the first one. The action in this movie is incredible. It’s violent, bloody, and just the thing that I wanted from a Suicide Squad movie! One of the characters felt very rushed for me. That was Ratcatcher. Her presence in the movie I really enjoyed but I thought her backstory was told really quickly and glazed over a lot of interesting stuff. All in all I absolutely adored this film and I definitely plan on watching it again.

Perfect origin story for Joker. This movie was everything I wanted it to be, dark, gritty and it made you feel and care about the Joker and what was happening to him. Joaquin Phoenix did amazing as Joker, an Oscar worthy performance. Although I can’t see him taking on Christian Bale or Ben Afflek, as a stand alone Joker I think he was the perfect actor to play this role. Though in no way does he trump Heath Ledgers Joker. No one can do that. I think the studio made a great choice making it R rated because the movie wouldn’t have been nearly as good if it was Pg-13. I do have one problem with it and this problem has been stated many times about his movie but it’s obvious. It’s way to much like Taxi Driver they took many elements from that movie and put it in this one. Other than that I didn’t have any problems. Overall I love this movie and it was everything I wanted it to be for a Joker origin story.

Eh, you can’t be really critical with this film. There’s really nothing that stands out as like amazing in the film. Don’t go in expecting some amazing masterpiece that you’re used to seeing when it comes to Denzel. First off the action is well directed. There are some really good action sequences in the film. The final fight in particular in the hard wear store. None of the actors really stand out besides Denzel. The villain is your typical villain and all the other characters are just there to carry the plot along. Denzel is a badass in this movie. He’s easily the best part. He mad every scene so elevated and I had a blast watching him. Don’t expect this film to be a masterpiece. If your looking for a fun movie to watch The Equalizar will definitely fit in that rainy day catagory.

I’m very split on this film. I think that there are some fantastic things in this movie and I also think that there are some huge problems with this film. Let’s start off with the really good stuff. First of all the performances are all very good. Daisy Ridley is very likable as Rey and I think that Adam Driver as Kylo Ren is the best thing throughout this entire prequel trilogy. The fight scenes are also very well done, along with the spaceship battles. They are all very riveting and you can’t help but have a good time watching them. Ian Mcdermon as the Emperor is as always iconic but I have a few problems with him in the movie but that comes later. Ryan Johnson really messed up these movies and I think JJ Abrams provided a lot of redemption moments too the characters Ryan Johnson messed up. The first one being Luke Skywalker. JJ Abrams gave him a better conclusion and I think concludes Luke’s ark very well. Another one being Leia. I give JJ Abrams lots respect because this is one of the characters that is going to be the hardest to conclude because not only had the actress died in real life but the character means so much to so many people and I think JJ Abrams did the best job he could. I also loved seeing Lando in this movie. You can’t help but smile when you see him on screen. Billy Dee Williams has so much charisma as this character and he plays Lando so well in all the Star Wars movies he’s in. Now on too my problems. There are lots of plot holes to the film and I mean A LOT but if I where to address all of them we’d be here all day. So let’s start out with the biggest one too me. The fact of the Emperor being back makes no sense. Not only does it disrespect the previous three films and how it was always destined for Anakin to kill the Emperor and bring peace to the galaxy, it’s painfully obvious that JJ Abrams had no idea what to do. Rian Johnson killed off Snoke and left it like that. So JJ Abrams is forced to pick back up from where Rian Johnson had left and it just seems like such a hail merry to me. One of the other problems I have with the film is it felt like they where trying to cram so much into one movie that it just felt so overwhelming. They need to get Poe’s backstory out of the way and then they need to address Finn and how he’s force sensitive along with trying to conclude Kylo Ren’s ark. It just felt so overwhelming and I feel bad for JJ Abrams because he probably had plans to conclude each of these characters stories in the last film but Rian Johnson didn’t address any of it and did what he wanted to do. The biggest story that they needed to conclude though is Rey’s backstory. We’re three films in and we know nothing about her besides that she’s really powerful. I think it makes sense that she’s a Palpatine because lots of people where complaining about how she was able to take down Kylo so easily but the fact that she’s a Palpatine makes sense because she has all this power and strength in her. In the end I’m very split on this film. I think there are some really really great things in the movie but also some huge problems.
