Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)
Okay. love the crossovers the rest was eh
Mild spoilers ahead ⚠
Yesterday I went to see No Way home. And I was half happy half indifferent. This is the movie that you need to have two perspectives. Just like Infinity War. One is when you're watching it in MCU lens, one is when you're watching it in a cinematic/movie lens.
I shall say that the trailer showed TOO MUCH. In fact there're major spoilers IN the trailer itself. Tom uttered about forgetting him and you can tell where it is going already. From the trailer, they also showed all the villains so that is already a big clue that it is going to be a fanservice movie. Then we also see that Dr strange looked constantly troubled, then he told the kids to "Scooby Doo this thing" meaning that he sure did an oopsie on his spells. It's pretty obvious, and from there, you'll 100% know where it goes. Unless you're thinking too much.
There're two factors that will drive the movie. It is that Peter(Tom) wants people to forget and wants to turn bad guys to good. That's. All. Really 😂 So the plot goes about him wanting people to forget about Peter as Spidey ➡ wants to change the bad guys to good ➡ then back to wanting to be forgotten . 🙃 Quite ironic that it is a movie about an intelligent characters but the director wasn't intelligent.
There're familiar quote droppings in this movie you could say it's a meme too. Hell the 3rd act was literally a meme that came to life 😂 The highlights were mostly the "alternate endings" and of course the cameos. Which comes off a bit like the appearance of Han Solo and Chewbaca's cameo in SW: The Force Awakens movie. Since they stayed until the end, it's more of an appearance than a cameo. It is also not really a spoiler because the two Spider Men were at the red carpet, doing interviews and IMDB also have their names listed as casts blatantly.
The script were poorly written that there weren't many natural quotes or expressions. Especially the part where Tom asks Doc Octavius his name. It was so cringeworthy. I mean it wasn't even a new joke. It is a recycled joke and formulaic. There're a lot of "Do you like this? Do you miss this Do you remember this? " scenes. Instead of "Let me present my creativity"
Also I noticed that they love to use the simplifying jokes such as stones, wizard, and especially "purple alien" .. 😒 Starlord's joke about purple alien/grimace was ENOUGH. We don't need to hear it 5000 times. It's getting more unfunny the more they repeat it. They even continued that joke until the after credit scene.. 😒
Goblin was the MVP because he killed someone (and stabbed). His motives makes sense AS a villain. He was the only assertive one among the other villains. He told them that they don't need fixing which I kinda agree. Why would an already villain who endangered lives of the innocents needs fixing? Reptile was smart too but he is kinda sloppy. Therfore Goblin is the smartest of the bunch I mean afterall, he is something of a scientist himself 😏
The MIT admin scene was so unrealistic. I mean Dr Oct already destroyed a magnitude of a bridge and she just got out and said "tHaT iS a nO nO"... 😒 cringe. With all due respect ___ scene appearing also was very unrealistic because no normal human... or shall I say, superhuman would be so casual seeing the Portal 🙃 😂... They should have been shocked tremendously seeing that magic... But anything for fanservice right? Make kids happy and all. 😂
I can also see a bit of political message when they talk about "2nd chances" aka releasing people from jail and they picked statue of liberty 🗽 as the battlefield. There's a mid scene where the villains all gathered together in the sanctorum. And all they did was empty talks. It was soo dreadful. The mid credit scene showed that the symbiote remained in the bar. Which means they're 100% linking venom to MCU or at least the symbiote. They already confirmed this in Venom 2 though. Then the post credit was more of a sneak peak/teaser for Dr Strange Multiverse of Madness which seems like the continuation/plot of episode 4 of What If series.
Remove Green Goblin, Dr Oct and Dr Strange and the movie is mediocre. However, I 100% appreciate the crossovers ♥ and the change of Electro's suit. At least it happened. So in a perspective of Marvel/MCU I would rate this an 8/10. In a perspective of just a movie enjoyer Imma give this a 5/10. And I am no longer an "MCU fan" so that'll be my final score.
Mortal Kombat (2021)
Not even consider bad. If u think it's bad you don't know how to review
It's enjoyable. I gave extra points for support. My actual rating have not yet been determined. If you think this is a bad movie you're wrong. It is a fun ride. What do u expect from a MK movie??? Realism??? Ffs.
A-X-L (2018)
Not bad.
It's quite fun. Obviously not the best of 2018. But it's a movie if you want to spend time with your family or just to "enjoy". The CGI is forgiving still not as bad as Scorpion King.
I'm Thinking of Ending Things (2020)
Trash pretentious. The weakest Kaufman movie so far
Spoiler alert everything turns out to be the janitor's imagination, ooo so deep...
-_-
The Secret Garden (2020)
It's charming and meaningful
The cinematography is excellent.. Their acting wasn't lazy. Most of them had soul and believable. Better than the 2017 version, not better than the 1993 / 1975 version -btw, the animated version was also good tho. For fans of fantasy/adventure , give this a watch.👍
Super (2010)
Fantastic n Perfect for my taste .. but not perfect as film
I seen this fim in 2012 and it still is memorable to me . I just review now cause I just created IMDB account lol. this movie was a 6-7 but as time goes I increase it to 10 . this is like one of those movies that is like wine, the longer the better.
Ana (2020)
It's not that bad
It's easy to watch straightforward, and quite realistic as well.
