Spiderman Homecoming (2017) 1st Reaction

“If you're nothing without the suit, then you shouldn't have it” - Iron Man
Image result for spider man homecoming poster

*SPOILERS*

I felt like a kid again going to see this film. Spiderman Homecoming (2017) was great. I would say that Tom Holland is my 2nd favorite Spiderman. My favorite part of the film was the final fight scene between the Vulture (Michael Keaton) and Spiderman (Tom Holland). I really liked Michael Keaton’s performance as the Vulture and I loved how tense the scene was where he finds out Spiderman’s identity which is even more tense than how the Green Goblin found out Spiderman’s identity in Spiderman (2002). If I was to critique anything it would be the sappy crush parts between Spiderman and the Vulture’s daughter. Overall I would give this film a 9/10. I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes action films, superhero films and Marvel films.

Wonder Woman (2017) 1st Reaction

“It's about what you believe. And I believe in love. Only love will truly save the world” - Wonder Woman
Image result for wonder woman poster

*SPOILERS*

The best way to describe Wonder Woman (2017) is if you mix Captain America the First Avenger (2011) and Thor (2011) with a hint of Star Wars Episode 6 Return of the Jedi (1983) and make it great. I really liked this film especially how it mixes the period piece elements which were seen in Captain America the First Avenger (2011) with the god trying to bland in with mortals elements from Thor (2011) and this film serpasses both of those films as well. My favorite part of the film was the whole 3rd act from when Wonder Woman finds out who Ares really is up to when Ares is defeated. In this section of the film is where the hint of Star Wars Episode 6 Return of the Jedi (1983) comes in where Ares is encouraging Wonder Woman to kill Dr. Poison in the same manner as how the Emperor was encouraging Luke Skywalker to kill Darth Vader. The only thing that I didn’t like about the film was at times the CGI was a bit wonky especially during the battle on the beaches of Themyscira and some dialogue was awkwardly written but besides that it was pretty good. This is my second favorite DCEU film right under Batman V. Superman Dawn of Justice (2016).I would give this film an 8/10. I would recommend this film to every action movie fan, fan of DC and fan of comic book movies.

The Mummy (2017) 1st Reaction

“Welcome to a new world of gods and monsters” - Dr. Jekyll
Image result for the mummy 2017 poster

*SPOILERS*

This was a great start to Universal’s Dark Universe films. I really enjoyed the story and the action scenes. My favorite part of the film was the main character Nick fighting Mr. Hyde and I like this part because it shows that these series of movies will have multiple different Universal monsters in one film. I also liked the references to Dracula, the Creature From the Black Lagoon and the book of the dead from the last “Mummy” series. What I didn’t like about the film just like with every other Mummy movie is the casting of non African people in the role of Ancient Egyptians. As proven through DNA and ancient artifacts the people of Ancient Egypt were Black Africans, not European nor Arab. Besides that I liked the film and would give it a 7.5 out of 10. I recommend this film to those who love horror films and the classic Universal monsters.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 1st Reaction

“I’m Mary Poppins y’all” - Yondu
Image result for guardians of the galaxy 2 poster
*SPOILERS*

This is the craziest MCU film to date. Just about everything was crazy about this film including the visuals the dialogues and the character designs. My favorite part of the film was the fight scene between Star Lord and Ego the Living Planet. There was so much emotion in that fight and you can see the pain in Star Lord’s eyes after learning that his father killed his mother. One thing i didn't like in the film was that it was being either too funny or too emotional and that there was no in between for the most part. I also didn’t like how it occurs the same year as the first film instead of the current year. I don’t like this because how are they going to explain what the team has been doing between now and Avengers: Infinity War. I would give this film an 8 out of 10. I would recommend this to any Marvel, comic book or sci fi fan.

Kong: Skull Island 1st Reaction

“Kong’s God on the island, but the devils live below us” - Hank Marlow
Image result for kong skull island poster
*SPOILERS*
This was a great movie. This movie deviates from the normal King Kong formula. For example a director and his crew go to Skull Island find Kong, Kong falls in love with woman, they take Kong to New York City, Kong escapes and they kill him. I like how most of the movie stays on Skull Island as opposed to King Kong (2005) which spends way too much time in New York before going to the island. My favorite part of the movie is when the expedition team in the helicopters first encounter Kong. This is a great scene because how it is filmed and how it shows Kong to be an unstoppable force of nature that they couldn’t possibly destroy. One thing that really bothered me during the movie was the fact that King Kong never walked like a gorrilla. The whole movie he stands upright. I find that to be very odd that they didn’t have him walk and act more like a gorrilla which both King Kong (1933) and King Kong (2005) did great. Overall I would give this film an 8/10. I would recommend this movie to all King Kong, horror, action and Godzilla fans.

The Lego Batman Movie 1st Reaction

“Sir... I've seen you go through similar phases in 2016 and 2012 and 2008 and 2005 and 1997 and 1995 and 1992 and 1989 and that weird one in 1966” - Alfred Pennyworth
Image result for lego batman movie poster
*SPOILERS*

I loved this movie. It was basically a big satire of everything Batman and DC related. I love the stop motion style of the movie and i loved every reference made in the movie. I thought just about everything was great and funny in the movie and i loved that Billy Dee Williams was voicing Two Face (Billy Dee Williams) which he wasn’t able to star as in the Tim Burton Batman series due to the fact that WB gave the directing duties to Joel Schumacher after the release of Batman Returns. My favorite part of the movie was the beginning of the movie where basically every Batman villain ever was a part of the Joker’s crew. One flaw of the movie that I noticed was that during the scene where the Joker gets all these new villains from the phantom zone and they are attacking Gotham, how come the Justice League did not come to help out Batman. I would give this film a 9/10. I would recommend this movie to any Batman, DC, and Lego fan.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story 1st Reaction

“I'm one with the Force, and the Force is with me” - Chirrut Imwe
Image result for rogue one poster
*SPOILERS*

This was one of the best Star Wars movies since the original trilogy and even rivals Star Wars Ep. IV A New Hope. This movie had the best CGI I have ever seen in my life. The CGI Grand Moff Tarkin (Peter Cushing) and CGI Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) were so life like and if you did not know of these actors and this was the first Star Wars movie you have seen you would believe that those were actual actors and not CGI. My favorite part of the whole movie was towards the end where Darth Vader (James Earl Jones (Voice)) boarded the Rebel ship and took out everyone in his way. A very close 2nd favorite scene was when the whole Rebel fleet came to the planet to fight off the Empire. One of the only flaws I have seen with the movie was the exclusion of the opening credit crawl. I know that would be kind of redundant to have that in this movie but this is Star Wars tradition to include and opening credit crawl, but 1 Star Wars tradition that they did keep was the inclusion of C-3PO (Anthony Daniels) and R2-D2 (Jimmy Vee) in every Star Wars film. I would give this film a 9.9/10. I would recommend this movie to every Star Wars fan and fan of science fiction.

Doctor Strange 1st Reaction

“Dormammu, I've come to bargain!” - Doctor Strange
Image result for dr. strange poster
*SPOILERS*

This was a great movie and a great end to the superhero movies of 2016. This movie had great CGI effects and every character was portrayed perfectly for the most part. My favorite part of the movie was when Dr. Strange went to Dormammu to bargain with him and trapped him in an endless time loop and how comical it became every time Dr. Strange was killed and immediately came back saying the same thing. I was also very excited at the first after credit scene when Dr. Strange tells Thor he will help him find Odin. Even though the movie was hard to find flaws in there was something i didn’t like. The movie didn’t really explain how regular people are viewing the world while the sorcerers are fighting in public which i thought they should have explained more. I would give this movie a 9 out of 10. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who likes comic book movies and movies involving crazy visuals.

The Birth of a Nation 1st Reaction

“Rebel!” - Nat Turner
Image result for the birth of a nation 2016 poster

*SPOILERS*

I found this movie to be a great depiction of Nat Turner’s slave rebellion of 1831. It was well written, it was for the most part historically accurate and the acting and action scenes were great. My favorite part of this movie was when Nat Turner leads the other enslaved Blacks to the armory and fight against the 1st group of Whites and win. Some negative things about the movie were some historical inaccuracies such as in the movie Nat Turner turns himself in where in real life he was captured while hiding in the woods. All in all I would rate this movie a 8/10. I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes history films, those who want to see a slave movie where the slaves fight back and those who are interested in the life of Nat Turner.

Suicide Squad 1st Reaction

Don't forget: we're the bad guys” - Deadshot


*SPOILERS*

This movie is crazy. The movie is very very fast pace and hardly slows down. There is so much great action scenes within the movie. There was many great effects as well. My favorite part of the movie was the fight scene between the Enchantress and the Suicide Squad towards the end of the movie. I also loved the scene where El Diablo fights Enchantress’ brother. I also liked the brief moments of Batman throughout the film. Some negatives about the movie is that since it is so fast paced they rush through the character development. For some of the characters they explained them really well such as Deadshot and Harley Quinn but some others weren't explained as well as they could have been such as Killer Croc and Slip Knot. All in all i would rate this movie a 7.5/10. I would recommend this movie to all DC fans, comic book fans and fans of the action genre.

Ghostbusters (2016) 1st Reaction

“I ain't afraid of no ghosts!” - Cab Driver


*SPOILERS*

Unlike what a certain video game critic said about not even wanting to view it, this movie was not as bad as everyone was predicting it to be. It had great effects, it had great action scenes and an interesting take on the Ghostbusters franchise as far as story. My favorite part of the movie was when the Ghostbusters were fighting the ghosts in the streets and how they used each of the new unique weapons. Another thing I liked about this movie was the variety of Ghostbuster weapons which all functioned differently. I also liked how they included cameos from the original cast of Ghostbusters (1984). Something that really hurt this movie was the subpar writing and some awkward screen cuts. The script could've been written much better to fix the dialogue. All in all i would give this movie a 7/10. I would recommend this movie to any Ghostbusters fan.

X-Men: Apocalypse 1st Reaction

“Everything they've built will fall! And from the ashes of their world, we'll build a better one!” - Apocalypse



*SPOILERS*


This was a great movie. It was very hard to find any flaws with this movie. I loved how the outfits were very comic accurate. There were so many great scenes throughout the movie. My favorite scene was the fight in Egypt between Apocalypse’s 4 horsemen and the X-Men. I also loved the Quicksilver scene where he saved almost everyone from the exploding X-Mansion and i loved the Wolverine escape scene. I also loved how at the end of the movie Magneto and Professor X recite the same lines to each other from the end of X-Men (2000), that in a way brings the movies full circle. The only thing that i could find in the movie that i didn't like was the fact that Wolverine had no lines at all. Also you could tell that the studio could only afford Hugh Jackman for a short amount of time due to how quick his cameo is. All in all i would give this movie a 8.9/10. I would highly recommend this movie to all X-Men, Marvel, and comic book fans.

Captain America: Civil War 1st Reaction

“I'm sorry Tony.... I wouldn't do this if I had any other choice... but he's my friend” - Captain America
“So was I” - Iron Man


*SPOILERS*


Favorite MCU movie of all time. I love this movie. I loved this more than The Avengers (2012). Everything was perfect about this movie. Black Panther, Spider Man and Ant Man stole the show. Black Panther stole the show through his awesomeness and the display of his totally vibranium suit and his martial arts skills. Spider Man stole the show with him being the perfect incarnation of his comic book self and his multiple one liners during the airport fight scene. Ant Man stole the show through his new ability of becoming Giant Man. The final fight between Captain America and the Winter Soldier vs Iron Man is so sad because after all of these movies of Captain America and Iron Man being on the same side it is so sad to see them fight each other with such brutality. My favorite part of the movie was the whole airport scene. Everything about it was so perfect. Each superhero showed the best of what they can do without trying to kill each other. Out of all of the perfectness this movie was there was one thing that truly annoyed me throughout the whole movie. It was how large the text was every time they entered a new country. At first i didn't mind it then it started to get annoying because the characters go basically all around the world. I give this movie a 9.9 out of 10. I highly recommend this movie it is nearly perfect.

Batman Vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice 1st Reaction


“Tell me, do you bleed?...You will” - Batman



*Spoilers*


I loved this movie. Everything about this movie was great. I originally thought since the movie was over promoted i would be able to predict everything that was going to happen but that was not the case. I really loved how early in the movie it showed both sides of how people viewed both superheroes. It showed how superman could be seen as a bad guy and how batman could be seen as a bad guy. I also loved how it depicted how brutal batman can be by showing him brand bad guys and showing he is not afraid to kill. There was also so many references to other superheroes and villains throughout the movie. I loved how they showed Cyborg, Aquaman and Flash and how Lex Luthor had videos and files on these metahumans. My favorite part, which I had to choose between the Batman vs. Superman scene and the scene of Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman fighting Doomsday and I choose the Batman vs. Superman scene. This was my favorite scene because it was what I was waiting for for so long. Every part of it was perfect, from all the traps Batman set, to Batman shooting a kryptonite grenade at Superman twice and how Batman was going to kill Superman and Lois Lane stopped him at the last second. That whole scene was just so perfect. The saddest part of the whole movie was when Superman was killed by Doomsday while Superman stabbed him with the Kryptonite spear. That part i almost got teary eyed. I am so excited for the rest of the DCEU movies especially because of when Lex Luthor told Batman, “He is coming!”, and that he is referring to the villain Darkseid and how Luthor said that he called Darkseid but without referencing Darkseid’s name. The only flaws about this movie would be that without prior knowledge of some of the characters you might be confused. I give this movie a 9.5/10 and i definitely recommend this movie.

Deadpool First Reaction


“WAIT! You may be wondering why the red suit. Well, that's so bad guys don't see me bleed.

This guy's got the right idea... He wore the brown pants!” ~Deadpool



*Spoilers*


I thought Deadpool was hilarious.It earned that R rating. It was full of 4th wall jokes, gore, action, and nudity. It was a perfect representation of Deadpool from the comics. I really enjoyed how they explained his backstory through flashbacks in between the opening action scene. I also enjoyed how they connected it to the X Men cinematic universe by featuring the X Men mansion and featuring 2 X Men, Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead. I also loved all of the 4th wall jokes referencing other Marvel movies and how they took shots at DC movies and characters too, such as Green Lantern, Batman, and Robin. There were also bad things about the movie too. Sometimes the movie would not stop making jokes to a point where it wasn't funny anymore. Also there were some predictable moments such as at the end when Colossus is giving Deadpool a speech about how he shouldn't kill and how sparing Ajax would make Deadpool a superhero and then Deadpool just kills Ajax anyway, that was just so predictable. Overall my 1st reaction is i loved the movie. It is everything that Deadpool is supposed to be. I give it an overall rating of 8/10. P.S. I can’t wait to see Cable in Deadpool 2.

Blah blah blah….MY TURNNNNN !!
OKAYYYY I barely know anything about superheroes and that is why I think this movie is girlfriend friendly. There were jokes where all the guys in the theater was just laughing their little butts off and the girls just chuckle so we will not have to end up look stupid.I won't even lie this was me when Deadpool made some joke …..
mean while christian was like….

The trailer spoke for itself! This movie is no superhero movie. I love how he talks to the audience, I personally love movies where the character interacts with the audience. However at times it was too much. Like his crotch been all over the camera (rolls eyes). And the crazy profane language. But you know what it is RATED R FOR A REASON .
Overall rating 1,000,000,000.1 out of 10 * Rated R must be ages 30 and up*
HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!
We would like to know your reaction. Comment and +1 for more post like this!
