One of the most overrated and outdated movies of all time! I’m 22 and my uncle showed me this movie when I was a kid, now with Halloween Kills around the corner I wanted to give a rewatch to this movie because my filmmaking knowledge are way better now and I didn’t remember anything about the movie. This movie is not as good as fans may think it is. The movie doesn’t have a story and it is boring. The character of Michael Myers in this movie is evil…thats it, no dimensions to him. It’s a boring character, that you barely know something about him. The acting is horrible, it doesn’t have any good acting scene or memorable. The storytelling is really bad , very slow paced with unnecessary scenes and long shots staring at the tv or with nothing happening just to make the film longer. There is barely any character development, and people always rave about Laurie being such an exceptional heroine, when there really isn't much to her, she is WAY better in 2018. This movie is a 2/10 for me only thanks to the soundtrack and some decent cinematography shots. That’s the only two filmmaking aspect that are decent about this overrated and outdated movie. People cling to old truths. somehow Halloween became a holy cow. Old heads with nostalgia will tell you that Halloween is a classic, scary and a good movie because everybody been telling themselves lies for 30 years…Bad acting, bad storytelling and boring movie. It’s crazy how Halloween 2018 has worse rating and it has better acting and storytelling. Nostalgia is really bad, so many old movies are highly rated because of nostalgia.

Well, here we go again…Sony is a bad studio for CBM, they are only interested in milking Spider-man characters and giving origin movies to characters who don't need it. Unlike Kevin Feige they don't have any kind of vision or plan other than trying to create what the MCU has with their “Spider-verse”, the difference is that they just want to create that and not good movies that are the foundation of the Spider-Verse. They don't have a president or producer who is in charge and creates this universe so they're just making stuff at this point and because it’s Marvel they know they will make some money. Just like Venom’s movies and now Morbius the same thing will happen to Kraven the Hunter and Madame Web, more horrible movies. (Not the actors fault) The movie doesn’t have any good acted scene, the cinematography is non existent, the writing is horrible, score, there is nothing good about this movie… Spider-Man is my favorite superhero and I am SO TIRED of Sony having the rights to the characters. I wish Disney had the rights, I would feel more comfortable knowing the MCU at least has a vision of what they want and that they are always ten steps ahead. This is the worse CBM since Suicide Squad and WW84! This movie is a reminder of what many comic book movies were before the MCU: bad acting, bad writing, poorly executed, sloppy, and made to disappoint fans of the comics. This movie also contains the worst attempt at universe building in the modern era. This movie is a 0/10 and the worse Marvel movie in a LONG time.

People that are criticizing this movie are hypocrites, old heads with nostalgia and haters! Now everyone seems to be a professional critique, they swear that they have knowledge in filmmaking haha. These hypocrites say LBJ acting is bad, was MJ acting good? Hell nah! I can argue that LBJ had better acting scenes, because at least big part of the movie was animated like a cartoon, that was a smart choice, it’s easier to voice act than fully act. Did Lebron gave us an Oscar worthy performance? Of course not! Neither did Mj, right? Nobody expected that, if you did you’re delusional, he ain’t an actor, neither was MJ, but it wasn’t horrible. I rewatched the first Space Jam before watching this sequel and there’s so many bad acting scene that it’s crazy how they can say that LBJ and the other cast had bad acting, at least Don Cheadle had better acting than the whole first movie. The storytelling is way better than the first one, the pacing is good, the message of the movie is good, the visuals are good and it’s just a solid movie, it’s not amazing, but it’s not bad like others are saying. In the aspect of filmmaking the first one have a way better soundtrack, that’s it, other than that? This movie is superior in every other aspect of filmmaking. Like I said, the acting is better, the storytelling is better, the cinematography is better and don’t get me started with excuses like “Oh! But the first one is from 1996” so what!? Some of the best cinematography in history is from even older movies than Space Jam, so stop it. This movie is overheated and we all know why, it’s because LBJ, that’s it. It is a solid movie, not a masterpiece, just a cool movie. It is a 6.5/10 movie.

Spoilers! The storyline is full of plot holes, the exposition of this movie is horrible and the execution it’s trash. Very disappointing, probably one of the worst movies I've seen this year. The plot is so bad, cliche, and revolves around a random, helpless, 14yrs old girl with no backstory but a convenient memory flashback, nobody cares about her and her acting was bad too. Wanda's motivation for being the main antagonist is in top for some of the worse MCU villains. She is there with Whiplash, Malekith, Ronan, Kro, etc. Her motives were not convincing at all. The climax of the film ends when Wanda sees her children afraid of who she's become... literally 5 seconds after telling strange that doesn't care. Disney pulled a Warner Bros with the DCEU of intervening with his vision. The movie felt like a 126 minutes long teaser for...something. They should've let Sam Raimi do his thing and release the actual cut of the film. Raimi himself said his version was around 160 minutes, which is necessary for a movie of this scope. After the reshoots it is clear that Marvel restricts the creativity of his vision. Somewhere in the multiverse there’s a better version of this movie. I haven’t been disappointed like this with the MCU since Eternals…what a disappointment. My rating for this movie is a 5/10. Here I give it 2/5 because the acting from Benedict and Elizabet was good, the movie had good CGI and visuals sometimes and the score, that’s about it. #ReleaseTheRaimiCut? I haven’t been disappointed like this with the MCU since Eternals…what a disappointment.

Thor: Love and Thunder does attempt to explore themes of love and loss whilst introducing the Mighty Thor and putting Thor on a journey of self discovery. However, it sadly doesn't work as well as it should due to a rushed pace and way too many jokes that are not funny. It has a childish humor which the Director seems to be over reliant on. It could be Taika Waitit's first ever bad movie. What Everything Everywhere All At Once did was expose Dr Strange and Marvel for being the creatively bankrupt "content" providers merely interested in profit over art. Scorsese's prophesy being fulfilled. Christian Bale's Character is underdeveloped for the most part. He's barely in the movie. He gives a great performance, but the script does not flesh him out, does not explore his character, and in effect, turns him into another forgettable MCU villain. The action in this movie wasn’t good while the Ragnarok has multiple action scenes that was good. There are some beautiful shots, but not nearly as often as the artwork in Ragnarok. Valkyrie never looks bothered about what she's doing in the film and doesn't even take part in the last battle cos "she might get killed", despite talking to Jane earlier in the film about how she wants her Viking death so she can get to Valhalla?! Speaking of Valhalla, Sif makes an appearance so she can instantly be dumbed down and not understand how you get in to the place, more bad comedy from Taika. Everyone in Asgard should know how you get into Valhalla, especially the warriors, it’s just stupid writing. Another issue I had was the lack of emotional impact in the film. When Jane Foster died I really couldn't feel anything simply because none of it felt earned, it just came and went. She never had a good arc in the MCU, now all of the sudden I should feel for her? Not earned Overall it's just a very boring story, there's no real plot, Thor finds out someone is murdering gods, and just goes to kill him.... Synopsis done, that's it! Way too much filler in the film and pointless scenes just to drag it out far longer than it needed to be. I don’t care for the characters, the CGI is inconsistent, the writing is not good, the exposition once again like in Multiverse of Madness is bad and this is the second worse Thor movie after the sequel, The Dark World. What is that Hercules casting? I hope the guy was casted in the last moment and didn’t had time to get strong because he doesn’t sell the “God of strength” at all, Hemsworth looks like a beast compared to this guy, Henry Cavil would’ve been perfect. My score for Thor: Love and Thunder is 5/10
