Movie Rating

I'm only giving this movie a 9, because I've honestly seen the same story line in dozens of movies. AND, I felt like the previews gave way too much away.
But, although the story was predictable, it was still very well done. The afro-futurism was so amazing, the costumes were so good, and I loved that they brought in all sorts of different cultures on the continent to Wakanda.
The cast did a brilliant job, and I loved that the warriors were women.
Now, Killmonger: Micheal B Jordan did a fantastic job with the villain. This villain was one of the better ones in the MCU, in a sea of generic villains (Loki excluded). Killmonger (as well as Loki) was a sympathetic (IMO) villain, there was a reason for his fall into villainy, being a product of his circumstances. You understood where he was coming from, and damn, his last line was intense.
Now: Martin Freeman and Andy Serkis. I had a major Hobbit flashback when Ross went to Klaue, I was half-hoping they were fixin to have a riddle-off.

Seeing Tony stark prove himself without his suit it is a funny film and has some interesting ideas and villain reveal is amusing (0 more)

The true main villain is a let down with his absolutely poor motivation being somewhat repetitive of the previous series especially as we will never see a confrontation between Tony and his archenemy (1 more)

Also having stark quit at the end seems pointless as we knew he was in the next avengers film

Iron man 3 a mixed final film

Contains spoilers, click to show

So here it is the final film of marvel's iron man series with Tony stark unlikely to return due to his death in endgame which means we will never see him fight the real mandarin look for him in shang chi however Downey is his usual great self and stark character arc is nice nod to avengers about him being just as heroic without his suit and his ptsd and the supporting cast are just as great.

The film is a fun action piece and has many hilarious moments.

It's shame the film has such a lame villain the twist while being funny you soon stop laughing that your left with another crap mcu villain something marvel is improving on fortunely his motivation are poor and he is a let down also the film with stark giving up being iron man felt redundant given we knew he was in age of ultron

Overall this still an enjoyable watch and will thrill the family

Who knew DC could make a movie like this???

The finally done it. DC made a movie which was engaging, enjoyable and had a solid performance from its lead. Wonder Women has succeeded where man of steel and BvS fell short. The story of Dianna was not to watch, mainly due to the performances from the leads Gal Gadot and Chris Pine. There felt like there was real stakes in this movie which superhero movies sometimes lack. Where the movie falls short is the disposable villain .....it never really feels like Aries was a prominent plot point and was added in. All in all I found wonder women a please surprise.

Donald Glover, The Villain, overall action, surprise cameo (0 more)

Not Harrison Ford, pacing was a bit off, too predictable (0 more)

Sneak Preview on Monday: Solo obvious but fun

Don’t expect any revelations in Solo, it is very much a story we have already heard but in greater detail. You will see how Han met Chewbacca, how he made the kessel run in 12 parsecs and of course how he wins the Falcon from Lando. Donald Glover stands out as Lando mimicking Billy Dee Williams mannerisms and voice. Paul Bettany excels as the main villain, but keep an eye out for an old foe to make a cameo.

No end credit scene so no need to stick around...
