Wesley Snipe's best movie yet! Blade is the first Marvel movie to be a big hit and a cult classic, featuring action-packed excitement, vampire slaying, and it's dark tone. Ever since I watched this movie, I'd like to consider it one of my favorite vampire movies ever. People may criticize it for whichever reason but to me and probably most people, this movie is great. I have nothing much to say about the movie because I really do recommend it for people who like Marvel and vampires. And also Kris Kristofferson is in the movie and he does a stunning job. Blade has always been a cool superhero in Marvel along with the Punisher and Ghost Rider but I really enjoyed the Blade movie more than Punisher and Ghost Rider, because for a movie that's in 1998, it was really good and I really enjoyed Wesley Snipes as Blade. Ever since then, Wesley Snipes has always been Blade for me.

A movie based on Elton John's life is certainly a great movie. With Taron Egerton as Elton John, he definitely plays the singer really well and does a good job with it. Unlike Bohemian Rhapsody, the film tackles Elton John pretty well and the soundtrack features Taron Egerton singing Elton John's songs instead of lip syncing it like in Bohemian Rhapsody. For a movie about Elton John, it really is kind of an emotional movie. From Elton John's childhood to him taking drugs and drinking alcohol cause of his frustration causing multiple people to leave Elton John because of his behavior. For an artist that was able to come back sober from the drugs that he took, he definitely handled it strong. Now there are some parts of the movie that aren't historical accurate but that's fine by me, I mean Bohemian Rhapsody wasn't historical accurate that much but I enjoyed it. But I enjoyed Rocketman a little more cause of Taron Egerton's acting, the costume designs, and of course the musical numbers were the best parts of the movie. I definitely recommend watching this movie if you're a fan of Elton John or musical or biopic movies.

The sequel to the hit game Batman: Arkham Asylum, is by far and in my opinion and probably everyone's opinion, the best Batman: Arkham game of them all. They expand the map, created a story that is far more fascinating than the movies' plot, and a game play that is far more superior than any other superhero games. Arkham City is literally an open world Batman game that has so much replay ability and side missions that are far more fun to beat. Along with the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Skyrim, this is by far one of my favorite video games of 2011 and probably my favorite video games of all time. A game like this deserve game of the year and with the release of Harley Quinn's revenge, it gets even better and better. With far more gadgets, more villains, and a more complex story, I honestly give this game a 100/10 because it is that good of a game and I think everyone should give this game a try along with Batman: Arkham Asylum.

Pokemon Detective Pikachu is a movie that I found okay for a movie based on a video game. When this movie was revealed, I thought it was going to be mediocre even though CGI designs looked pretty good and Ryan Reynold was going to be Pikachu, but it was an okay movie. I didn't like the plot and the setting designed reminded me of Ready Player One, but other than that it was an okay movie. Definitely not one of the best or worse movie but it's on the average level. It's not even the best Pokemon movie, in my opinion, the Pokemon movies that are anime are the best ones. But this movie, is just okay. Besides, this is based on the Detective Pikachu video game so I guess I'll let it slide but other than that, still an okay movie. I'd give it a solid 8/10 just because it is one of the few movies based on video games that are good. Plot is meh but CGI is solid.

For a DCEU movie, I'm surprised that this movie actually entertained me. Shazam is a lot different than the other DCEU movies. Shazam is more light-hearted and comedy like while other DCEU movies were dark and brooding. Now when I first saw the trailers for this movie, I thought it was gonna be the worse DCEU movie ever, like by far the worse one out of all of them, but ever since it came out, it was apparently a big hit and people and critics claimed it was one of the best DCEU movie out of all of them. So I watched it and WOW! They were right, it was a really good movie. But in my opinion, Man Of Steel is my favorite because of it's interesting story telling of Superman's origin. But Shazam comes in as my second favorite DCEU movie. Shazam is filled with laughs, action, and just about everything. It even shows a message to the audience about family and what's important. I'd give Shazam a good 9/10 and recommend it to anyone who wants a superhero movie that is heart-warming and funny and action-packed excitement.

An epic conclusion to the Infinity saga of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Avengers: Endgame brings in the most epic, tear jerking, action-packed excitement to a superhero film. Now I don't have any thing to talk about for this movie except for the fact that it is a MUST SEE, like you gotta see it. But before Endgame, you gotta watch all the Marvel movies starting Iron Man because if you don't watch all of those movies, you will be confused with what's going on in Avengers: Endgame. The closest to being more connected to this however is Avengers: Infinity War, a movie that led to a big a** cliffhanger. But never mind all of that, all I'm saying is that this movie really showed a lot. It brought me laughs, happiness, sadness, anger, and almost every emotion any human being has experienced. This movie isn't just about superheroes and stuff, it's more about what's important and it influences people to not give up and find a way to solve your conflicts and everyday life, because if the Avengers can find a way to stop Thanos, I'm sure everyone can find a way to be strong and solve whatever they're going through. It's really a movie that influences people and brings in the emotional weight to them and show that everything is gonna be okay and all. I'd give this movie a 100/10 because it is that good of a Marvel movie, one of the best movies of 2019 by far.

In this conclusion to the Unbreakable trilogy, Glass combines three characters, Bruce Willis's character, James McAvoy's character, and of course Samuel L. Jackson's character, into one movie where they are locked in the same mental hospital because of their superhuman abilities. The plot for this movie is really, and I mean REALLY, confusing and complex. Like there are scenes in the movie where I don't even know what's going on and the climax is just underwhelming. Unbreakable's story was interesting and Split's story was just really, really shocking and interesting. But Glass, the story is all over the place. From Bruce Willis's character's story to James McAvoy's character's story, and finally they get to Samuel L. Jackson's story in this movie. Other than the bizarre scenes and all, the movie was really interesting and I think, in my opinion, it's a good way to end the Unbreakable series even though the story was all over the place. Other than that, I'd give Glass 8/10. Good acting and interesting plot, but a story that takes a lot of time to understand the complexity of this movie.

The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part is the sequel to the hit movie The Lego Movie. A sequel that tells the story of an apocalypse and how Emmett and his gang go out to save the world from it. I watched this on DVD and Blu-Ray and I find the sequel to be quite okay but not as good as the first one. The first Lego Movie featured a compelling story, humor, voice acting, visual style, and a heartwarming message. The Lego Movie 2 however, was a generic story of an apocalypse and stuff. I don't know if it's me but I feel like they recycled the jokes from the first movie so much up to the part we got bored of it and stuff. There are some parts that I find interesting and such, but I don't want to spoil much about the movie. I suggest watching it for yourself to find out but if you haven't, go see the Lego Movie first. Other than that, The Lego Movie 2 is a decent movie, but it wasn't the best movie.

A surprise sequel to 2000's Unbreakable, Split tells a story of a man with 23 different personalities who kidnaps and imprisons three teenage girls in some sort of isolated underground facility. The way M. Night tells the story of Split is really confusing, complex, and interesting. Unbreakable tells a story about a superhero who is easily unstoppable and indestructible while this one doesn't tell the story of a supervillain who goes around kidnapping teenage girls with all these different personalities. James McAvoy gives a stellar performance as Kevin Wendell Crumb, the man with the split personalities and Anya Taylor-Joy as Casey Cooke, is surprisingly good, coming from a young adult actress. M. Night has made a comeback with this movie and I'm honestly surprised that he pulled off something extraordinary. Split is honestly one of his best movies that he has made along with the Sixth Sense and Unbreakable. I say watch this instead of Unbreakable cause Split is a whole new different story focusing on another character instead of Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson. But other than that, Split was phenomenal, great, thrilling, and honestly my favorite M. Night movie.

With the success of the first John Wick movie, John Wick: Chapter 2 tells a story about him coming back to his retirement until Italian mobster has come to assassinate him. The story for John Wick 2 is much more complex and entertaining than the first one cause of its typical revenge story. But a story about a man being hunted and placed a bounty on his head is more exciting, more thrilling, and more action-packed than ever. Plus Keanu Reeves is back as the one and only John Wick and he's more bada** than ever. And there are also a couple more actors added in to this movie including Laurence Fishburne, which makes it a reunion because Keanu Reeves and Laurence Fishburne did the Matrix trilogy. Other than that, John Wick 2, I'd say it's better than the first. It's more action-packed, more violent, story is better, and the acting is good. I say John Wick 2 is a big improvement from the first movie.
