The Mummy (2017) not only has a plot that barely makes sense, and an ending which definitely doesn't, it's also a clearly desperate cash-grabbing bid to shoehorn in an entire new "cinematic universe" of horror movie monsters, which is off-putting.
Just finished watching Transformers: The Last Knight. I have so many questions I forgot half of them by the time I finished the film. Here are the rest.
There is no way for me to review Wonder Woman my way, without revealing major plot points; so if you don't want to be spoiled, don't read it first. Also, WHAT are you waiting for? Go watch it *immediately*!
Beauty and the Beast was enchanting. I still prefer the live-action Cinderella, but there's enough in Beauty and the Beast to delight people who grew up watching the animated classic.
Have you heard of Train to Busan? I can't imagine that you haven't, unless you have been living under a rock this past month.
Captain America: Civil War is heartbreaking. It's a much more sombre film than any in the Marvel Cinematic Universe before, walloping you in the stomach with emotional punches. But it is also one of the best Marvel films to date -- second-best, in my opinion.
Before I start on this review proper, buckle up for a not-so-brief history of how Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (from now on referred to as BVS) came to be. It'll help you understand why BVS rubbed me wrongly from the get-go, and why I went into it with derisive feelings. My friend accused me of being biased against the film, and so even if it was good, I wouldn't say so, but that's not true. *If* it was good, I would admit it -- in tones of absolute surprise, yes, but I would.
This is a post on my feelings after watching Star Wars: The Force Awakens. I won't mention any plot points, but even so, if you haven't watched the movie, BACK OUT NOW, because the moment you watch the movie, you'll know what I'm talking about before the thing has happened yet.
What is there to say about Spectre, except that it is a typical Bond movie?
'Mockingjay - Part 2' follows the book pretty much faithfully -- except for all the subtext that they could not (dare not?) translate to screen, which Darren Franich from Entertainment Weekly explains in a brilliant analysis.
