Whatever It Takes

Man on Fire- is a excellent action thriller, that I have seen about 5-7 times. Its a really great movie, not sure why critics didnt like this movie. Cause Denzel is excellent, Dakota is excellent. The action, suspense and drama is excellent. Its only downfall is its slow for the 1st half, than picks up during the 2nd half.

The plot: In a Mexico City wracked by a recent wave of kidnappings, ex-CIA operative John Creasy (Denzel Washington) reluctantly accepts a job as a bodyguard for 9-year-old Lupita (Dakota Fanning), the daughter of wealthy businessman Samuel Ramos (Marc Anthony). Just as Creasy begins to develop a fondness for the young girl, a bloodthirsty gunman (Jesús Ochoa) kidnaps her. Now, Creasy must pick off a succession of corrupt cops and criminals to reach his ultimate object of vengeance.

Its a vengeanful film. Packed with action, suspense and drama.

Too Much Icing is a Thing

While I enjoyed the film I felt there was just a little too much "Deadpool humor" in the film. There's a time for a punchline and a time for plotline, unfortunately this movie blurs that line way too many times. The jokes become stale and the writers have to take the game up a notch to continue to attempt humor. It got old after a while for me.

Simple but satisfying

A simple story of an alien invasion fought within a city block. The movie is funny & action packed. The aliens are scary, but cool. The acting is fine too. I like the different characters. The one thing that's a little hard to get over, is the heroes of the film are a gang of muggers & thugs. We get the "We are all fighting against the same enemy" trope, but when you think about it, they're still criminals. I still enjoyed the movie very much & would watch it again.

I Love Movies Like This

I am a big fan of Marvel, and I couldn't have been happier with this movie. Thor is one of the classics, based off of ancient mythology. He is a God. A protector. In this movie they gave him a funny side and it makes it that much more enjoyable.

I love the realistic sarcasm that was thrown into the battle scenes. While the costumes are a bit odd, the movie itself is well made and I would definitely watch it again.

Myth meets contemporary

What a unexpected read this was. In fairness, I didn’t have a lot of preconceptions, considering my last encounter with Diana Prince was the very old series years ago. It was a exciting read, packed full of action with a great Greek mythological context and background. I didn’t expect the contemporary setting for some reason but it worked really well. I enjoyed seeing Leigh Bardugo’s words set in the contemporary world. The diverse characters were both fun and real. I could really read more from this world and these characters.
