Movie Review "Suicide Squad"

Hi Movie Fans

This movie tries to be it but ends up failing very badly.

The characters are introduced over the first 40 minutes and once is all said and done I still don't have real desire or care about their progression throughout the rest of the film.

Jokes are often very misplaced and feels extremely forced. Many scenes feels like they were made solely for sake of the trailer and also the trailer resembles nothing of what the actual movie is like.

CGI is so off that I divide the movie into 2 teams, CGI-team and real team, and I keep ending up thinking how the ***k is human team going to beat world consuming superman-like characters.

However I do like the look of the Villains, especially Enchantress.

Maybe this film is the best thing for DC Universe superfans, but for the casual viewer it's very hard to get a grip of this movie, at least for me it was.

Movie Review- "Sully"

Hi Movie Fans!!


Firstly the film is technically perfect. What Clint Eastwood shares with Ron Howard is that they are both actors-turned-directors who consistently make technically perfect films. What they also share is a penchant for taking larger-than-life people and literally making them much-larger-than-life on the big screen. After this, you will feel like you have known Sully as long as his family. In the presence of such directorial talent, it is easy to overlook the casting choices. In this case, I suggest that Hanks may not get the credit he is due. This may be the best performance of his career. He sets a deer-in-the-headlights tone early; and by mid-movie, the viewer starts to feel as paranoid as his character. Amazing performance. Recommended for multiple reasons, not the least of which is that it is one of the best films of the year.

Movie Review-"The Purge"

Hi movie fans,
The purge takes place in a hypothetical United States afflicted by overcrowded prisons and crime, the law has legalised any crimes from 12 hour period. It becomes a free for all, the police also has no authority and the hospitals are closed. During this year's purge there is an intruder in Ethan Hawke's characters house trying to spread chaos, with his family on the line he has to ensure him and his family make it through the night. I think this movie's depiction of a day where there is no law would be very similar to reality. That raises the question of why even in the 21st century humans are still so bestial.

Movie Review- "Zootopia"

Hi readers,

Welcome to Zootopia, a futuristic city where mammals of varying species live harmoniously side by side. Or do they? The mystery of vanishing animals brings Officer Judy Hopps and her reluctant partner Nick to solve the case in only 48 hours or lose her dream job as the first rabbit police officer.

Wide eyed, bubbly and enthusiastic protagonist Judy (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin) introduces the viewer to Zootopia through her own rose tinted glasses. Her train ride into the city from her town, delightfully named Bunnyburrow, is set against a backdrop of amazing mountains and valleys, waterfall and illuminating colours. After her encounter with Nick Wilde, a sly and cunning fox, she is made aware of her own naivety and the harsher side of life in a metropolis. Judy’s attempt at solving the case of a missing otter takes the viewer through the underbelly of the crime scene within Zootopia through to an encounter with a crime boss ironically named Mr. Big, nude animal resort and a motor registry department staffed entirely by sloths.

This writer’s favourite scene, without stealing the thunder of the mystery solved, was the reoccurring sass between Nick and Judy. It began after Judy had been tricked into paying for a popsicle for Nick and his supposed son, Finnick, Nick’s partner in deceit. Their running dialogue resulted in Nick delivering the memorable phrase: “it’s called a hustle, sweetie”. A phrase that would later be used by Judy to Nick and blackmail him into assisting her in solving the case of a missing mammal she had undertaken.

Stand out performance belongs to the sloths of the DMV (Dept of Mammal vehicles). Their satirical portrayal as painfully slow bureaucrats is guaranteed to elicit gags from those who have had the experience of dealing with long wait times in government departments.

From a kid’s point of view, this movie is colourful with a wide array of animals on display and is satisfying as it embeds the recognizable voice of Shakira in character as well as voicing a song that adds to the appeal of the film. Adults will find the humour surprisingly enjoyable, given it’s an animated movie.

Zootopia is a poignant narrative that excels in pointing out the divide and scaremongering antics of unsavoury characters in society. It is helped by the convincing and effective performances of its protagonists and a must watch for all lovers of good films.

Movie Review "V for Vendetta"

Hi movie fans!
Today I'm going to be reviewing "V for Vendetta". This movie takes place in a hypothetical future where Britain is a dictatorship. It tells the story of a girl names Evey played by Natalie Portman, and her small yet crucial role in bringing down the government. All this is made possible by a masked character named "V", who is supposed to play Guy Fawkes ( more about him over here ). After becoming aware of the oppression the British people faced , Evey could not turn a blind eye instead she chose to help liberate Britain with the help of her masked friend.
