Alien: Covenant (2017)
Completes the trilogy from Prometheus to Alien, but same things as in other movies
As the title of the movie suggests, it's more of an Alien movie but still good for Prometheus fans. Those who're not aware, the movie fits in between the timeline of Prometheus and Alien. Prometheus, Alien: Covenant, and Alien, all directed by Ridley Scott, are the only 3 movies in the Alien universe that matter, in my opinion. But again, this movie is a repetition of the same stuff we've already seen in all the Aliens movies.
Suicide Squad (2016)
I love dark themed DC universe
Well, i won't say i hate this movie as it's made out to be. It's an above average movie. May be because i like dark themes, i enjoyed this movie unlike others.
At few times movie became boring, but then it does have some high moments, specially Harley Quinn's and Joker's love story.
I do think Jared Leto is good as Joker and so is Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn. I wouldn't have mind "Michael Rowe" (from the TV series Arrow) to play Deadshot.
Those who're comparing it with X-Men Apocalypse, i actually enjoyed it more than the apocalypse. And at anytime this movie doesn't deserve a score of 26% rotten at rotten tomatoes.
Captain America: Civil War (2016)
It's an OK movie and not great
I'll just cut to the chase directly. I didn't like Civil War. I'm too filled up of the emotions after watching the movie, that i don't care about properly editing this post and make it look good.
(SPOILER ALERT : spoilers ahead)
Problem with Civil War is that the actual reason that they wanted to show that resulted in forming two groups among Avengers got sidelined. It started with registration act, which should've been the actual reason, but then it got lost somewhere. Captain America and Iron Man were fighting against each other because of The Winter Soldier, who's Captain's best friend. He got framed for an attack, and in order to save him, Captain America got against Shield and Iron Man. That's one fine reason, and I can understand why Falcon was supporting Captain, as he's always on his side.
But then suddenly, Captain America's team recruited two new members - Hawkeye and Ant-Man. I don't understand what was driving them to fight with Captain America against Shield and Tony Stark. The reason of registration act was not mentioned again ever, and it became a revenge story for Tony stark to avenge his parents' death. Also, Spiderman's cameo is awesome and fun, but again he's just trusting Tony Stark and fighting against one of the most famous and disciplined hero - Captain America without any reason.
What would have been better was to keep the registration act the focus of the movie and thus the two groups, as was in the comics story line. What's strange is there were people who didn't like the reason for which Superman fought Batman in Batman Vs Superman, i.e. because his mother was taken hostage, but then same set of people justify the reason of saving one's best friends from Shield as a valid reason.
Well, i didn't like Civil War much, and i am really shocked that on the one hand this movie has a score of over 90% on rotten tomatoes, and on the other hand Batman Vs Superman: Dawn of justice is sitting at 26% rotten. Not even this, Civil war currently is in IMDb top 250 list (number 88).
The Matrix (1999)
The Matrix was gamechanger
I think there were Action/Sci-Fi movies before The Matrix and there are action/sci-fi movies after The Matrix. It changed everything.
This movie was one of it's kind when it came and there was nothing like this seen before. Awesome action sequences, bullet times, slow motions and the concept, everything was awesome.
Not just action, the movie is great in other aspects too. The movie is thought provoking and very influential. This movie forced every filmmaker of action/sci-fi movies to step up.
I still remember when i watched this movie for the very first time more than 10 years ago, it felt like i'm in a different world. I've never ever seen anything like this. Movie had awesome effects, that might seems outdated these days, but that time it was first time something like that was shown in movies.
This movie was really a gamechanger, and we are lucky that this movie actually happened.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)
Dawn of Justice is the only motion picture that does true justice to the DC comics story line
I think Dawn of Justice is the only motion picture that does true justice to the DC comics story line as in Comics. A DC Comics fan, like me, is going to love this movie. The movie lays a good foundation for Justice League movies and DC universe. This movie revealed various characters from DC Universe other than Bats and Supes, such as Wonder Woman, Lex Luthor, Doomsday, Flash, Aquaman, Cyborg and Firefly. They have even shown Firefly's origin story if I guessed it right.
I hope Justice League movies come out good, but I seriously want to see a movie based on the Alternate Timeline shown in this movie, specifically from Injustice series. If you have read Flash's comics or even watched Flash TV show, you will know about alternate timelines.
Movie is awesome. It's one of the best representation of DC universe and Batman (along with mask of phantasm), and visually very beautiful.
Ben Affleck is very convincing as Batman contrary to what people were speculating. Why he looks older than Superman? The movie is after the time Batman has faced Joker before and as suggested by Robin's costume with Joker's message, Robin is dead. So Batman has been around a while already, but Superman has just arrived on earth. His fight with Zod in "Man Of Steel" destroys Wayne enterprises and Batman considers him a danger.
There are some reasons why people are not liking or may not like this movie. First, this movie can be hard to understand for those who haven't read DC comics or played games such as Batman's Arkham series and Injustice: Gods amongst us. Also, one must watch "Man Of Steel" first before watching Batman Vs Superman. Or one can also read Injustice comics. Second, the sequences related to alternate timelines are not explained properly, so someone can think what the hell is going on. Lastly, I will blame Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy. The trilogy showed Nolan's version of Batman which was quite different from actual story, such as Batman learning from Ra's Al Ghul, Bane being the main villain and few other. And now most of us think that Nolan's Batman movies show the true Batman, and we find it hard to accept a different version.
According to me the movie is not bad at all, as being suggested by Rotten Tomatoes. Fight sequences are very good and I wish there was more of Wonder Woman, but the stage is already set for her, and foundation laid for Justice League.
Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola (2013)
Great movie that describes what our power hungry politicians can do to attain power
Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola is a powerful entertainer that describes how rich people and politicians eat up poor and needy to remain at the top. The movie is a true cult. It describes a serious issue in a comic way similar to what was done in Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron.
Imran Khan plays role of a lawyer who has stayed in his village to help poor farmers. Pankaj Kapoor plays role of Mandola, after whom the name of the village has been derived, and Anushka Sharma plays role of Mandola's daughter.
Pankaj Kapoor's performance is par excellence and Imran Khan has performed good too. Anushka Sharma needs to try something different than a bubbly character in each of her movie, but still she is promising in the movie.
A must watch movie, according to me.
