What this movie has achieved with hand drawn animation is in my opinion far ahead of it's time. The amazing synth heavy score by is one of the highlights of this movie and along with the beautiful animation, it's does a brilliant job in highlighting the barbaric nature of the biker gangs and the cruel irony of the conflict and instability of Neo-Tokyo. However, it does not follow a conventional story structure after the first act. Instead of a climax the viewer gets various revelations. This movie unlike the manga (which I highly recommend one should read before watching) mainly focuses on the relationship of Keneda An tatsuyo and how his indipendance and new found power affects him, the people around him and I'm the end Neo-Tokyo and Keneda's efforts to get the bottom of this with Mei amd Ryu. Flashback scenes are important to understand Tatsuyo's handling of his new found power and later to understand Akira. However these are present at the end of the second act and the third act. The movie has brilliant action and scenes of destruction and unlike Hollywood movies of the same type has a cynical approach. The movie has a very effective use of Dark and tragic humor which goes very well with the overall distopiyan theme of the movie. The movie does not hold back in terms of portraying graphic scenes of gruesome bloody violence which is what I love about the movie and in my opinion this along with many other things makes this movie brilliant and far ahead of it time. My main issue with the movie is that it's has a lot of plot points and characters which do not get any space to grow or feel totally left out. It

(SPOILER ALERT!) (Here is the summary of the review) The movie is much less predictable (unlike the first one) and feels more fresh. This move has become one of my favorite Spider-Man movies out there. (8/10) "Another damn Marvel movie!" was what I hought when I Spider-Man: Far from home released. This movie did not disappoint me though, infact I was pretty impressed. Far from home has one of the best and fresh villains MCU has to offer Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal). Spider-Man: Far from home,is directed by Jon Watts, starring Tom Holland (Spider-Man), Jacob Batalon (Need Leeds), Zendaya (MJ) and Jake Gyllenhaal (Mysterio). New York is a essential part of Spider-Man movies and comics and this movie tries to break the convention by taking place in iconic European cities. This movie has a smarter and a slightly more Mature Peter Parker and much more significant love story. This movie has two very important and impressive things, one is the villian Mysterio of whom I will talk about soon, and another is MJ. MJ (Mary Jane) has to be one of the most bold, smart and empowered versions of the character (my personal favorite) and just doesn't seem pretty and vulnerable as she did in the Sam Remy movies. She has much more character. This movie maintains the PG-13 Spider-Man charm. Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) adds to the flair of the movie, he has a important role and is responsible for Spider-Man's key choices in the movie and his humor is great as always. The Happy (Jon Favreau) and May Parker (Marisa Tomei) dating plot point adds to the fun and doesn't feel unnecessary or abandoned. Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders) has a brief role is not the most interesting characters in the movie her dialogues have some decent punchlines but the character feels very generic and uninspired. The change in the location somehow suited the movie but the could have made a more efficient use of the European cities. Now the villain, Mysterio played by Jake Gyllenhaal is one of the reasons you should watch the movie. The character feels like a watered down version of his character from Nightcrawler (Louis Bloom) and Jake nails it. I honestly didn't expect him to end up in a Marvel movie but he did not cease to amaze me with his role in the movie. Every fight between Spider-Man and Mysterio feels like a brilliant video game cutscene. The unpredictability of Mysterio is thing that made this movie a memorable experience for me. The movie is much less predictable (unlike the first one) and feels more fresh. This move has become one of my favorite Spider-Man movies out there. (8/10)

(contains plot summary.) When I entered the theater to watch Toy Story 4 I was a little skeptical, as the third part felt like a perfect conclusion for the the Toy Story movies. However my skepticism vanished twenty minutes into the movie. Toy Story is directed by Josh Cooley and stars Tom Hanks (Woody), Tim Allen (Buzz) Annie Potts (Bo Peep) and Tony Hale (Forky) The movie starts with a flashback form 9 years ago. A rescue operation is going on for R.C as he being swept Dow the drain. Bo gets separated form rest of the toys as Bo has been bought by another person (despite Woody's efforts to prevent the sale). The flashback ends with a very heartwarming scene between Woody and Bo when she bids him farewell, she reassures him that toys change owners and it's a part of a toy to be taken away. At this point in the movie I realized that I will not be disappointed with this movie. The movie had a wonderful and heartfelt story and gorgeous animation to compliment it. Toy Story 4 does a excellent job of introducing new and fresh characters and one of them (and the first to be introduced) is Forky voiced by Tony Hale. Forky is a toy-spork made by Bonnie during her kindergarten orentation. Woody is worried for for Bonnie as it her first time going to Kindergarten and thinks she will be overwhelmed. He sneaks into Bonnie's Backpack to watch over her.His fears come to light as she is shy and has a difficulty adjusting to Kindergarten. Woody covertly places a spork and other items from a trash can on Bonnie's table during arts and crafts, and she turns them into a handmade toy-spork she names "Forky". After Bonnie places Forky in her backpack. Much to woodiy's surprise he comes to life. Forky's existential crisis is a major part of the first actof movie as he thinks he is trash, and that's where he belongs but Woody tries to convince him otherwise because of how important he is to Bonnie and her childhood memories. After rescuing Forky for the final time again Woody successfully manages to convince him the joys of being a toy which results in a wonderful sequence of him and Woody walking back to town (one of my favorite scenes in the movie). They spot Bo's lamp In a antique shop while walking back to the town. Unable to resist the temptation of finding her, he goes in the store with Forky. Here we get introduced to Gabby Gabby. Gabby Gabby is a 50's doll with a defective voice box. She guides Woody through the antique shop and 5 minutes later we get know her intentions of taking Woody's voice box and later he is forced to give in to rescue Forky. She is introduced as an antigonist at first but her story later influences the viewer to see her as a friendly character. Her character arc is one of my favorites in the entire movie. The character of Bo peep(we are introduced to her at the time of rescuing Forky) voiced my Annie Potts is brave, bold and full of life and her Sheep add to the flair to the story. The character of Duke Kaboom (Keanu Reeves) is one of the best characters added to the movie. He is too a toy without a owner because of his inability to be amusing, this cripples his confidence. Duck and Bunny played by (Key and Peele) are an excellent comic relief. In conclusion this is a surprisingly consistent end to the series. except for some minor flaws which can be conveniently be overlooked. (9 / 10)

The review of this movie can be summed up in three words: SUGAR COATED GARBAGE! (contains spoilers!) One of the biggest flaws of this movie is Akshay Kumar’s inconsistent performance, improper use of background score, wastage of characters and the murder of organicity. Amit Sadh, who plays Raghuveer Pratap Singh is a main yet wasted character who is proud but, his pride conveniently never becomes an obstacle for his team in a major way as the plot point which does this, feels abandoned. The only character I truly liked is Imtiaz Shah played by Vineet Kumar Singh who goes to Pakistan after the partition, yet again we never get to see his trauma after his house is burned down and his family is forced to leave. This plot point feels quickly dismissed. Akshay Kumar who plays Tapan das shows a lot of inconsistency in his acting which distracts you from the film. Kunal Kapoor who plays Samrat who in spite of being the coach of the Indian hockey team shows a certain lack of passion and again feels like a wasted character and finally Mouni Roy who plays Monobita Das (Tapan’s wife) loses her charm as the movie progresses. The songs are commercial and will distract you from the ongoing events in the movie and they are themselves one of the biggest flaws of the movie. The movie does not feel true to its nature (as it is period film) and one of the reasons for this is bad acting. Overall, this movie is a forgettable mess.
