Is Gladiator II a Masterpiece? By all means no, however, it's still a fun film to see in Dolby Cinema! if you can get pass the ridiculous coliseum games, I'm referring to one game in mind, then you'll have a glorious time in the theatre! I will say that Denzel Washington was actually fantastic in this, now as for storytelling, it's basically a rehash of the original (it had that "The Force Awakens" vibe.) Please watch the original Gladiator Extended Version with Russell Crowe before watching this. Overall, I give Gladiator II a Matinee rating!

Although the movie was fun, there were some flaws! I just wanna say when Jason Momoa and Patrick Wilson were on screen, that chemistry was great! The CGI was a bit clunky towards the end of the film! Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Black Manta is more menacing in this movie than the first film! I can honestly say this movie was 10 times better than the Blue Beetle! Its' a fun comic book movie and I enjoyed it for what it was. Is it perfect? By all means no, but don't let the Rotten Tomatoes score scare you away from this! For me, it's a Matinee rating!

The Naughty Terrorists receive their "Seasons Beatings" by Santa Claus! This one is one of my top listed Christmas Movies in December next to Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, Iron Man III, The Christmas Chronicles, This Christmas, A Christmas Story, Jingle All The Way, and Home Alone! Definitely a High Matinee rating! Pick the "Seasons Beatings" 4K Special Edition Steelbook while you can!

Just to see the Rock Layeth the Smackdown on the Justice Society of America was worth the price of admission, it did have some flaws, but I still enjoyed this! Please keep Aldis Hodge as Hawkman in this Extended Universe, he was badass, and 007 himself, Pierce Brosnan as Dr Fate was outstanding! This is a High Matinee rating for me!!! If you smell what the Black Adam is Cookin!!!

My take on Wonder Woman! Finally, we get Wonder Woman on the Big Screen, and I have to say "It's about damn time!" Hopefully, Warner Bros learned their lesson from interfering with the Director Patty Jenkins vision! I'm pleased that DC went with an origin story because it really works! Gal Gadot is fantastic as Princess Diana aka Diana Prince aka Wonder Woman, it's almost like Lynda Carter hand-picked her and passed the torch! Connie Nielsen as Queen Hippolyta is stunning as ever, Chris Pine surprised me as Steve Trevor, he's actually great! I only had a problem with the two villains in this movie because there was one scene it felt like I was watching an episode of Boris and Natasha from Rocky and Bullwinkle, making reference to Danny Huston and Elena Anaya as Ludendorff and Dr. Poison! Overall, Wonder Woman is a great time at the movies, it's not perfect, but it's still fun to watch! This is a High Matinee rating for me!!!

Batman V Superman Dawn of Justice Ultimate Edition 4K Blu-Ray with the IMAX ratio changes is a vast improvement over the Theatrical version! Message to WB: Stop Micro Managing the Director's Vision! I realize cramming too many comic book stories into one movie is a coin toss, but for some reason, it works for me! I will say this though, I enjoyed Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne and Batman, we finally got a comic book accurate Batsuit on the big screen inspired by Frank Millers' "The Dark Knight Returns!" The Grey suit, the big black Bat emblem, and the short ears, maybe it's just me, but I never liked Batman with long ears. This is an older, gritty, and scarier Batman I've ever seen and it works! My only problem was I felt Jesse Eisenberg wasn't that great as Lex Luthor, I was hoping more for Bryan Cranston. Hopefully, they improve his character in Zack Snyder's Justice League. I will also say that Superman started that fight with Batman, you think you're gonna roll up in Gotham City and mess with the Batmobile, oh Hell Naw!!! "Tell me! Do You Have Insurance? You Better!!!" Now Wonder Woman was a bit a surprise in this movie, and Gal Gadot did a fantastic job as Diana Prince! Overall, Dawn Of Justice is good, not perfect, but good enough to give it a Matinee rating!

My take on Halloween Ends! Being a Halloween fan, I really got to be honest, it didn't have that wow factor that I was looking forward to. This is basically Christine, Halloween III, Jason Goes to Hell, and WWE rolled up into one film! I'm not giving away any Spoilers, but, the only reason I didn't rate this movie Some Ol' Bulls#@t is because I got to see a Seth Rollins "Charlie Irvine" Stomp in the film. The writers really dropped the ball on the story. Hopefully, we get an Extended Cut for Halloween Ends in late December! Overall, I can respect the fact that they tried to do something different to close out this Trilogy, however, it's a lackluster type of movie. The only message I got from this film is "Leave People the Hell Alone!!!" This is a High Rental rating for me. Watch this on Peacock, don't rush to the theater and see this.

Thank God I watched this on Hulu instead of the Theaters, I will say it was entertaining at times, my only problem was is Chris Rock trying to be a serious Actor, or was he bringing his Stand up Comedy show to the film? Overall, it kept my attention on the traps (No Spoilers), so for that, I'm giving this a Low Matinee rating!

I give it a Rental rating! There were some misconceptions about the KISS segment, but watch this on a streaming service, don't rush to see this in a theater.

it feels like this should be called "Star Wars: The Next Generation", however, I think J.J. Abrams gave me what I wanted in this chapter and the 3D really works here as well as old working with new, I almost burst into tears when I saw Harrison Ford and Peter Mayhew return an Han Solo and Chewbacca! My thing is I don't watch trailers or leaks online because it ruins the magic for the moviegoing experience! Some people will say that this is a slick remake of Episode 4, but for what it's worth, I honestly enjoyed this chapter! This is a Full Price rating for me!
