Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge (2020)
Scorpion done right
Besides the tournament format (1 set fight then free for all) there is nothing wrong with this. Scorpions journey from hell and back is amazing to watch. If only this could transition to live action.
Mortal Kombat (2021)
We wanted more Scorpion
Get rid of Cole and give his runtime to Scorpion and this could have been great. Characters that were not done well were Lui Kang, Raiden and Shang Tsung. Good ones were Kano, Kung Lao, Sub-Zero and Scorpion. Some good fights, some lame or rushed fights. Don't mind the plot being of a pre tournament bout but certain characters should have been kept alive for the sequel. On the whole not a happy experience. Would prefer to watch the original movie or Scorpions Revenge.
Bãhubali 2: The Conclusion (2017)
Great effects and epic action
Was not fully satisfied with the circumstances for Katapa's betrayal. Trailers had teased a civil war that did not happen but could have been a better scenario.
We are too invested in the past that when we return to the present the son's character feels alien. Straight away he mounts a successful full scale attack on the villain, without any training. Tamannaah character trained her whole life for this but only recall one slo mo shot of her slashing someone.
Great effects and epic action. Kind of want more from the franchise. Maybe the story leading to the grandfather's death.
Ghayal (1990)
Sunny's best film
Emotional story of Ajay and his thrilling 24 hour revenge spree against Balwant Rai. A truly iconic action movie of all time. Only Sunny can bring a knife to a gun fight and have the villain run for his dear life. Great performances all round.
Ghayal Once Again (2016)
Forget it even exists
Ghayal is not on only Sunny's best but one of Bollywood's best action movie till date. This unworthy sequel is complete garbage that unfortunately came from the mind of Sunny himself. Everything is inferior. The villain is not even a 10th of Balwant Rai. Should not have been made.
Ghatak: Lethal (1996)
Must watch if fan of Sunny action
Amrish will get you emotionally invested, Danny will have you cursing at the screen and Sunny will satisfy your thirst for revenge. After Ghayal this is my favourite Sunny action movie.
Marjaavaan (2019)
Not worth your time
Unbearable dialogues, over the top action and nonsense narrative.
Avengers: Endgame (2019)
No feels
They shy away from the true aftermath expected from half the universe dying. Only Thor's regret was believable. The entire time heist plot was bull and boring to watch. The battle was hugely overcrowded nothing caught my eye like wow look at that. They should not have had the whole Dr Strange bull that there was only one way. There were many ways it could have been avoided. Felt nothing.
Saaho (2019)
Garbage
Terrible effects and story. Guessed the big plot twist very early on. Shraddha is wasted. Prabhas has given the worst possible follow up after the success of Bahubali.
Joker (2019)
Not the Joker origin we deserve
He is pursuing a career in comedy that he has little talent for. He is being beaten and ridiculed. Standard stuff.
He supposedly laughs uncontrollably due to a condition but later refutes it. Joker's menacing laugh is a big part of the character, this should not be made to be out of his control.
He commits one crime on impulse which for some reason becomes a catalyst for a clown mob movement that later become his followers.
It's accidental not earned. He is mostly self loathing and his final Joker iteration to me felt pathetic.
This is not the Joker origin we deserve.
(Also worst batman origin, that kid Bruce was expressionless)
War (2019)
Ruined it's own narrative for a not so suprising twist
While many may have been wowed by the twist of Tiger being the bad guy it could easily be anticipated. As soon as Kabir's motives were revealed there was no other reason left for them to fight.
Although I enjoyed Tiger in a negative role the twist actually takes a lot away from the overall narrative. The story of Khalid wanting to prove he is not a traitor like his dad and having to hunt down his idol gone rogue made a better film and him a far better character than Kabir.
The imposter was a nobody in the team who then suddenly has the same level of skill as Khalid and able to fool everyone so effortlessly from his fellow spies to the mother who clearly lacks typical Bollywood K3G instincts.
Instead of a face between student and teacher we got a generic hero vs. bad guy scenario.
Khalid deserved better.
