Steppenwolf is great!

Action was great

Story was good

Horrendous special effects. Cyborg looks terrible. (1 more)

Dialogue was iffy

Was surprised by this one. It's good!

I have to admit. Most time I avoid reviews of movies, because quite frankly, they may affect my feelings towards a film. However, I heard only bad things about Justice League & was totally going to skip it, considering what I did hear about it & my disappointment with the recent string of superhero films. So, when a friend of mine said it was actually good, I gave it a shot. I'm happy I did.

The film is very good. Not great, but when put up against Wonder Woman, Black Panther & Superman v Batman, it shines.

The chemistry between the actors is great. They really come across as a team, unlike the Avengers. The new guys are great! Flash is funny, as he should be. Aquaman is a badass, because if he wasn't, he'd be boring "Superfriends" Aquaman. And Cyborg, well...Cyborg let's just say, is a great character & acted well, but special effects that bring his body to life aren't so...special. He looks out of place, like a cartoon put against a real background. When he moves his head, it floats around on his neck. It's not just one time, but every time. And the end battle takes place in a CGI town that looks worse than the first season of Beast Wars:Transformers.

But I can overlook that, because besides the flaws, we got a fun film to watch. And stay after the credits. You won't be disappointed.

Kudos

Nostalgia For Dayssss

I want to give this a higher rating, I really do. If I was going on nostalgia alone then I would give it a 10 as I absolutely LOVED this movie as a kid, but rewatching as an adult just doesn't pack quite the same punch, as is the case with most of my childhood movies.

Having said that, I still think this is a really fun movie, and while I probably wouldn't stick on the DVD, I would definitely watch it if I saw it whilst flicking through channels.

The basic premise is that the old appliances left behind after the owners move house decide to travel across the country to find their 'master'. This means that we get an odd assortment of characters including a vacuum, an electric blanket, and of course the titular toaster. However, this movie animates them in such a way that you find yourself emotionally attached to the usually inanimate objects, and you fall in love with their unique personalities.

I won't put any spoilers, but the plot is pretty solid with plenty of obstacles for them to overcome, and the 'junkyard scene' is still one of the most powerful scenes of any cartoon in my opinion.

All in all, this is a great fun kids movie, and definitely worth a watch if you have the time.

When a pair of astronauts set foot on the moon having not been back in over five decades they get a nasty surprise in the shape of a Nazi soldier.

If you thought the premise of Snakes on a Plane was nuts then this is surely right up there for insanity, the film has it’s moments but doesn’t have any A-listers big enough to pull in an audience.

After discovering that the Nazi’s have won the space race (we’re never enlightened as to how they come to arrive there) and set up a huge base on the dark side of the moon, it’s up to a lone astronaut (Kirby) to stop a potential invasion of Earth.

The base is like something out of a cartoon and is in the shape of a huge Swastika which gives you some indication about just how insane this film is? Couple that with big hats and large trousers, along with turning a black man white and you’ll see what you’ve let yourself in for.

The battling US President is a Sarah Palin wanna be, (in all honesty they might as well have got the real one) complete with a gung-ho approach and deer heads on the wall of the Oval office.

It doesn’t get much better, but ironically there is enough to keep you interested. Oddly the visuals featuring battling ships in space is quite effective.

This is one film that you’ll probably watch just for the title of it, when it’s finished you’ll wonder why the hell you ever put it on in the first place?
