Spider-Man: No Way Home

Spider-Man in the MCU has always been a mixed bag for me, I loved his introduction in civil war, didn’t enjoy his first solo film that much, hated Far From Home but, with the hype surrounding this film, I had to go see it myself before the very annoying trolls spoilt it for me. This review is spoiler free and I’ll mostly be talking about what we already saw from the trailers thus far.

After his battle with Mysterio at the end of Far From Home, Peter Parker’s identity has been revealed to the world and he must now find a way to navigate through life as a framed hero in the eyes of the public. This leads him to request help from Doctor Strange so he can make the world forget he’s Spider-Man. During the process of casting the spell, Peter interrupts Strange and botches it completely which then leads to villains from other realities who know Spider-Man to come through into the world of the marvel cinematic universe.

We get to see a lot of villains from the old Spider-Man films come through and Peter finds a way (with help of Strange and his friends) to stop them. Strange then reveals to Peter that these villains all die and that he’ll be sending them to the point in time which they do and this doesn’t sit well with Peter. The two battle it out and the aftermath leads to things Peter would never expect.

I really enjoyed the experience even though the film isn’t perfect or super cohesive. They’re some weird stuff in it but I feel for the most part, they knock it out of the park. No Way Home is a very interesting film. I have to commend how it found a way to make all the easter eggs and references weave into the story rather than just be there for the sake of it. They were moments where the usual forced humor was dragged on too long and most of the villains are kind of reimagined in order to fit more in this universe. When this film is seen by every one, they’ll be conversations about it for decades, they’re so many moments that you can’t help but smile about and scream to. For any Spidey fan, some of the things you’ll see here will feel like things of dreams.

If you’re looking for something entertaining to watch you’ll not be disappointed but, I must say this, if you’re looking for something as good as Spider-Man 2 or The Amazing Spider-Man, you may not love this film. I can’t lie, the fan boy in me was entertained thoroughly but, the wannabe critic had some issues and moments of cringe through out the film.

At its core, No Way Home is really just over two hours of fan service but, who are we if not fans? Go see it and tell me what you thought about it if you have already in the comments. Don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe!

DOOM PATROL

The second DC Universe Live Action show; Doom Patrol just premiered and I must say, it was a really interesting watch. Following the lives of the Doom Patrol, a team of very strange heroes who we first encounter during an episode of Titans, the show sheds more light on how they came to be the "freaks" that they are now through a brilliant narrator who ties into the episode and beautiful acting from every member of the cast. If you saw them in Titans, you might have been pissed off by the actor who played Chief there. I thought he was horrible and the show recast him with a much better and intense actor who carries each scene he's in. With just the first episode, I was very impressed by how funny, serious and emotional it was. Unlike the show before it, Doom Patrol managed to start off on a high note with so many possibilities, it actually manage to do the whole team dynamic better than the Titan show. I could actually feel the bond amongst each member ...

BUMBLEBEE: A BREATH OF FRESH AIR

Bumblebee is the first ever live action prequel/reboot film that has been released from the transformers franchise and it is set during the 1980s. In all honesty,i'm not sure if this film is just a prequel or also a reboot because, by the end of the film you can see that this is definitely a happens before the first film with Shia Labeouf but, it also runs away from tying itself to the already established Transformers franchise by itself too seriously. The reason i think it might be a reboot is simply due to the fact that they redesigned the transformers to have their more simple classic design from the old school cartoons rather than the more "extra" design filled unnecessary level of detail. This film tries very much to be more human and rely more on emotional connection rather than being a grand cgi filled fest that could span the course of multiple two hour films. The plot is simple;in the face of being terminated, the Autobots must flee from Cyb...

Army Of The Dead: A Crazy Roller Coaster!

Visionary director, Zack Snyder comes through with a new release following his long awaited director’s cut of 2017’s Justice League. This time (and thanks to Netflix), he has full creative control of the entire film. Army of the dead was shot, written and directed by Zack himself and is his return to horror, the same genre of his first feature film “Dawn of the Dead”. Army of the dead is an extremely ambitious film with the potential for multiple sequels and spinoffs besides the already announced ones. I’ll try my best to make this a spoiler free review although I make talk or hint about certain things that happen in the film. The film tells the story of a team of skilled men and women coming together to go to closed off zombie infested Las Vegas to retrieve millions of dollars from a vault before the US government nukes the entire place and its zombie residents. Each member of this team standout and feel like real people with personalities. There’s a lot...

UMBRELLA ACADEMY: WEIRD IS GREAT!

I feel like this is the first time i have made a post about a show that just got released this early. Truth be told, i missed a class trying to binge all ten episodes of the new netflix show; Doom Patrol (that was a joke), sorry Umbrella Academy. Honestly speaking, i find it truly intriguing how rare and fascinating how two really good and similar shows like Doom Patrol and Umbrella Academy got released during the same period of time. With the Netflix marvel shows being cancelled, i think its safe to say we'll still have our dosage of realistic superheroes on the small screen. Based on the Dark Horse comic of the same name, Umbrella Academy tells the story of a group of kids who wan born on the same day in 1989 to mothers who weren't pregnant before that day. A rich man named Sir Reginald Hargreeves who managed to adopt seven kids out of the forty-three that were born on that day. With six of them(allegedly) having extraordinary pow...
