Overall an entertaining flick from start to end! The first half had me hooked from the script to acting to direction, 2nd half diverted some of its focus from complex storytelling to crowd-pleasing action sequences and fast-paced exposition scenes though they were good I started losing interest in the story. Still, the movie delivers some great action scenes which you could tell had a great deal of thought and effort behind it. We get to see some great fight choreography as well but hated the fast-paced multiple-camera cuts within a few seconds. The soundtrack was okay. Most importantly the movie raises some great social issues and does drive home the point by the end and when it comes from such a star power it hits hard, I could hear some people in my theatre saying "Baat toh sahi keh raha hai" Hopefully people take this message home as well. In all, it was an entertaining flick through and through with a weak 2nd half and some flaws. I am just giddy thinking that if they had kept the suspense till the last half hour and kept telling an intricate story like "A Wednesday" we could have had a masterpiece!

Being an avid watcher of "Into the wormhole" and "Cosmos" in my childhood, this movie hit many sweet spots for me. Other than that, the acting here is masterclass by each and every actor in the movie (Cillian Murphuy, Robert Downey Jr. and Emily Blunt for Oscars please!). Nolan is able to tell this story which obviously lacks any blood pumping action or nail biting mystery in the most garndeur, enterntaining and captivating way possible. The storytelling here is just perfect, I was hooked from the start till end. It is difficult to rank this movie in Nolan's filmography given how different it was from his other work but it was definitely one of his best work, I won't argue if someone call this his Magnus Opus.

5/5 3.5/5[ For PC, Bad port!! (It was fixed so 5/5) Loved the game. The story was simply amazing, loved the characters as well. RDR2 has probably the most realized video game characters understand their pain, struggle and moments of joy! Yes, as many reviews say it is a bit slow-paced but it allows you to get to know the different characters and how they go about their daily lives and by the end, it becomes an emotional roller coaster ride. The gameplay is just like any other Rockstar games so if you liked them before you will like it now otherwise not. The attention to detail is amazing the game is filled with so many details that you just can't justify it in a written review but to name one of them you need to take with which weapon you hunt or you could ruin that particular animal pelt. The number of strangers have increased vastly and makes the open world much more lively I must say the PC port is not that great and I encountered a lot of bugs plus many time it became unplayable. In all, I would say that if you want to experience a good story and have liked previous Rockstar games then go for it.

Lately, there have been many superhero movies and TV shows releasing with varied tone, style and stories from Joker to Shazam to Infinity Wars to WandaVision. Each one offers something unique, a different style, a different tone or maybe a completely different take but when we talk about setting up a grandiose universe with mythical backstory, epic fights, cool-looking visuals and larger-than-life characters, then Zack Snyder's Justice League take the cake. Don't get me wrong, Infinity War was epic with a vast amount of comic book characters but watching Justice League took me straight away to my childhood days when I watched Justice League Unlimited and read comic books. The way Zack perceives and visualizes DC characters is too epic and looks too cool, like they have been ripped straight from the comic books. You may or may not like the movie but in no way can you say his movie direction is bland or boring. Coming to the movie itself, there was a lot I loved about this movie. Each of the characters are fleshed out, have a motive and towards the end you can see have changed in some way or the other during the course of the movie. Flash and Cyborg have a much more meatier role in this movie which expands on their backstories and make them much more interesting. Steppenwolf also is not a one-tone villain in this movie and has been given a motive and backstory. The rest of the leagues have extended roles as well, which was interesting to watch. The movie has done a much better job at explaining the plot points than the version released in 2017. Gone are the stupid and immature jokes and replaced by much more organic back and forth between characters, I loved the interaction between Diana and Alfred. The action scenes are much superior and have more weight to them, and they are not vastly different from the 2017 one but with a few added scenes and the way they were edited made all the difference. I also loved the inclusion of characters like Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, Deathstroke, Joker (still not sold on Leto's portrayal) and Mera, who had a significantly smaller role or a cameo but helped in making it feel like we exist in a massive universe with a lot of diversity and history just like comic books. There were a few things that I didn't like as well. For starters, the background score is something that DC has been consistently good at, but here it was either generic or bad. I wasn't a fan of Wonder Woman score in this one, Flash and Superman were the only ones I liked, but Superman's score was taken from Man of Steel. Joker is still a big no from me, he is way over the top, and at least for me he is not able to sell it either. Now coming to the run time, I don't mind a four-hour cut but it makes you wonder will big studios be ever open to such 4-hour movies and if not, why to make it that way from the inception and not a 2-3 hour two-part movie. All things considered, I cannot be happier that not only Zack got to complete his movie, but we were treated with a good version of Justice League. I am so much more excited to see where this universe takes us next and cannot wait for Justice League 2 and Man of Steel 2 if they ever happen.

I consider The Dark Knight to be one of the best movie of all time because of the great acting, atmospheric cinematography, empowering soundtrack, a solid script and a masterful direction. Not only all this, but the movie successfully brought on screen one of the greatest rivalry in pop culture whilst raising themes of how people principles and morality change in the time of chaos and where the line should be drawn in the pursuance of justice.

One of the most innovative horror movie of recent times, It really put me on the edge of my seat. John Krasinski did a really great job in making this movie immersive, even some random sound during the movie will make you scared. I had a few nitpicks here and there about the characters but nothing significant. I must say this is the most scared I have ever been in a horror movie so job well done, can't wait for part 2.

TL;DR - Must watch in Theatres! Action, comedy, cinematography and acting is great. The last 20 minutes bored me, some characters could have had more spotlight. Birds of Prey continues DC winning streak and cementing DC and WB as movie studios allowing directors to bring their own vision to the table and going all out. This movie could easily have been PG-13 minus a few violent fight scenes but the fact that the studio didn't bother to alter them to PG-13 is awesome. Now coming to the movie I liked for the most part and was conflicted when it comes to a few areas. The movie can be called a sequel to Suicide Squad which focuses on Harley Quinn after she broke up with the Joker. Now why the movie is called Birds of Prey I don't know because Harley Quinn is definitely the front and centre and the other characters showing up from time to time and team up towards the end. The movie is told completely through Harley Quinn perspective and is narrated by her thus the sequences of event that happened in the movie are a little out of sequence showing the chaos in her mind, It shows very well the chaos in Harley Quinn's mind but I think kills the excitement and build-up of a few scenes. The comedy is very quirky and organic which I love in contrast to the one forced upon. The action scenes are very well done and are exciting except for the last action sequence, It didn't do much for me and I was feeling bored towards the end of the movie. The cinematography was great and some sequence really popped, the soundtrack was great as well. The actors here have done a phenomenal job especially Margot Robbie, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Ewan Mcgregor and Chris Messina. Margot Robbie is the definitive Harley Quinn and each of her sequences lifted the movie. Ewan did a great job although I wished I had seen something more from the character than we got. Huntress was an interesting character but we didn't get much in this movie and Victor Zsasz was menacing. In all I really liked the movie except maybe the last 20 minutes, I am excited to see Harley Quinn and Birds of Prey in future movies.
