Elvis (2022)

Elvis had his shakey hips as his manager was talking care of business

[8/10 · 28 April 2024]

Baz Luhrmann the king of musicals make a glossy Elvis movie through the eyes of his manager colonel parker

This film explores the life and music of Elvis as seen through the eyes of his enigmatic manager that has complications This 2hrs 23 mins of rock and roll This is the second highest-grossing musical biopic, after I heard it It took four and a half hours of makeup and prosthetics for Austin Butler to physically transform into Elvis Presley from young adulthood onward. He really does sound and he truly deserved his Oscar nomination he should have won In my opinion

Whenever Elvis is at the forefront and Parker is present somewhere in the scene, Parker is often shown in partial or heavy shadow. It symbolizes him as a dark force that gradually took over Elvis' life.

This is the second film in which Tom Hanks's character meets a young Elvis Presley. The first film is Forrest Gump (1994).

It received eight nominations, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Butler.

Blistering, turbocharged chronicle of the King It's a riotously audacious work, a kaleidoscopic portrait of the king of rock'n'roll and his puppet-master promoter, the villain of this story!" Most will share that view as the curtain comes down on this whirlwind chronicle of a career from which Parker took 50% of the profits and 100% of the control. Yet for all his monstrousness, Hanks's prosthetically enhanced antihero has just enough wheedling pathos to make us understand how he wormed his way into Elvis's confidence 8.5/10.

Jurassic World Dominion (2022)

Something old, something new something borrowed, and then dino, Blue.

[8/10 · 25 March 2024]

Something old, something new something borrowed, and then dino, Blue.

Pyroraptor is the first dromaeosaurid in the films to be depicted with feathers.

The main villain story of Jurassic World Dominion centers around Biosyn sending out mutated locusts in order to destroy the world's crops.

Four years after the destruction of Isla Nublar, Biosyn operatives attempt to track down Maisie Lockwood, while Dr Ellie Sattler investigates a genetically engineered swarm of giant insects.

They've been living under the radar to protect Maisie, but she feels like a prisoner. When Maisie goes missing, Owen and Claire set out to find her, and eventually confront Lewis Dodgson, owner of Biosyn. Paleobotanist Ellie Sattler, Paleontologist Alan Grant, and Chaotician Ian Malcolm set out to expose Dodgson's schemes.

One of the most interesting details that Jurassic World Dominion introduces is the practice of dinosaur smuggling, something that plays into the dinosaur black market seen in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. Jurassic World Dominion introduced Kayla Watts as a dinosaur smuggler, here is a new idea in the Jurassic universe

146 minutes, this will be the longest Jurassic Park film to date.

Spectacular edge of your seat action on blu ray it's special effects are so good .complete the 31 yr journey with 38 dinosaurs and a few old friends from the original as 2generations unite to fight the future this film which has an extra 17 mins extended as breathaken battle between humanity and the pre historic creatures gets bigger as iconic characters bring the nostalgia events to the fore After surviving the destruction of Isla Nubla, Owen Grady and Claire Dearing took in young Maisie Lockwood. They've been living under the radar to protect Maisie, but she feels like a prisoner. When Maisie goes missing, Owen and Claire set out to find her, and eventually confront Lewis Dodgson, owner of Biosyn. Paleobotanist Ellie Sattler, Paleontologist Alan Grant, and Chaotician Ian Malcolm set out to expose Dodgson's scheme Join for free Biosyn Valley is a massive facility run by Biosyn that was used to create, research, and experiment on dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals in Jurassic World Dominion. However, the facility is absolutely wrecked at the end of the trilogy, with the area being turned into a dinosaur sanctuary. Dinosaurs roaming free will undoubtedly change the ecosystem of Biosyn Valley, with the mass amount of dinosaurs Fantastic set pieces

Nostalgia has become such a common device but there are some movies where it just works.that when trex ambushed a boat in jurassic park 2 and landed in l. A it's was jaw dropping back then roaming the streets for his young trex seeing it in the open was a precursor for Jurassic World Dominion is one such flick, combining this generation's heroes with those of the '90s with a surprising amount of success. Now, Dominion is far from a perfect movie. But how low of a rating can you really give to a film that had you grinning from ear to It's the inbetween film of Jurassic series better that Jurassic Park 3 but not as good as the two Jurassic worlds but not far off

Let's get the weaker points out of the way before we dive into all the reasons this movie kind of rules.. Anything that makes your ears perk up here is going to be thanks to homages - particularly with Owen and Claire - where it kinda seems like neither Chris Pratt nor Bryce Dallas Howard wanted to be on set that day. And the character of Maise (that's Fallen Kingdom's cloned child), while admirably performed by Isabella Sermon, mostly just plays as a lack of faith in the audience to find empathy without a human counterpart to the dinosaur's

While none of these are insignificant flaws, Jurassic World Dominion still manages to play with dino DNA in a way that keeps you excited and marks some notable improvements from previous entries. Most notably is the character of Claire Dearing. She's given breakneck character changes between Jurassic World and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, none of which are earned in any way that's meaningful. In Dominion, we get several moments that retroactively acknowledge the woman she was when she allowed Isla Nublar to fall and the woman she wants to be now that she sees the dinosaurs as actual living beings that this film is actually going to have more animatronics than its predecessors. As he put it: "We've actually gone more practical with every Jurassic movie we've made since the first one, and we've made more animatronics in this one than we have in the previous two." There's a sequence in Malta. The dinosaurs didn't come there by choice. Malta is really the hub for the dinosaur underground black market. It's where they're imported and exported, bought and sold. And that's part of our world, too the animals are displaced from their natural habitat, as they were in the last movie, and brought to other places where they don't necessarily belong. And chaos can easily ensue there." First appearance of Lewis Dodgson and BioSyn (which is never actually mentioned by name) since the first film. The novel The Lost World has Dodgson travel to Isla Sorna to retrieve dinosaur eggs. Steven Spielberg reportedly told Cameron Thor to expect a call to appear in the film, so this story element may have been in early drafts of the script. Ultimately, however, Dodgson and BioSyn were replaced by Peter Ludlow (a character invented for the film) and InGen. Dodgson's manner of death; in which a mother T-Rex lets her young make its first kill; was used for Ludlow as well.

Here is the name of every Dino that has turned up in this one 38 T-Rex, and of all the dinosaurs in Jurassic World: Dominion, this one remains the my-favorite. The iconic predator is the unofficial mascot for the series

Velociraptor The Franchise's Smartest Dinosaurs Continue To Have A Strong Presence

Pyroraptor A New Feathered Dinosaur Joined The FranchiseOne of the new dinosaurs in Jurassic World: Dominion is the Pyroraptors, which generated a lot of buzz. These distinctive raptors are feathered in the movie. This is an interesting choice since Jurassic Park and Jurassic World dinosaurs aren't scientifically accurate

Mosasaurus The Most Terrifying Dinosaur Ever To Grace The Ocean One of the breakout stars when it comes to the newest dinosaurs in Jurassic World: Dominion, the Mosasaurus quickly became one of the most iconic animals in the entire franchise, even getting to kill the mutant Indominus Rex. It also holds the distinction of being the first of the park's residents to break free and leave the island behind Atrociraptor The Velociraptor's Antagonistic Cousin the shoulder-height pack-hunter position in Jurassic World: Dominion is filled by the Atrociraptor. Larger and more brutish than Blue, they're one of the carnivores Owen has to avoid while racing through the streets of Malta on a motorbike

Allosaurus The Prehistoric Carnivore That Terrorizes Malta The carnivorous Allosaurus made its debut in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, where at least five examples of the species made it back to the mainland alive. One of these surviving Allosaurus was purchased in the film's dinosaur auction, and another was observed doing battle with a stubborn Nasutoceratops in the short film Battle at Big Rock. In Jurassic World: Dominion

Carnotaurus The Cretaceous Predator That (Almost) Matches The T-RexThe other deadly predator unleashed on the streets of Malta after the dinosaurs at the black market in Jurassic World: Dominion are liberated

Quetzalcoatlus A Flying Dinosaur That Preys On Planes Therizinosaurus The Terrifying Clawed Predator From Pre-History

Giganotosaurus The Rival To The T-Rex With An Incredibly Appropriate Name Giganotosaurus The Rival To The T-Rex With An Incredibly Appropriate Name Triceratops A Trike And Its Adorable Baby Make For A Heartwarming Dominion Moment Nasutoceratops And Sinoceratops A Two-Horned Cousin Of The Triceratops Parasaurolophus The Herbivores Owen Herded Apatosaurus A Replacement For The Brachiosaurus Dreadnoughtus The Largest Dinosaurs In Existence.

Stuck on You (2003)

A sharing in lives

[6/10 · 23 March 2024]

Twin brothers have nothing in common but a liver Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear make a fun team in this delightful demented comedy about 2 brothers who share a passion for life and liver with great teamwork their physical condition is not barrier but now they clash between waltz big dream of stardom and boys who is very shy is tearing this conjoined twins apart from dating to acting roles they seem to get in the way of their roles in life this inseparable duo face challenges in Hollywood with a incredible a list cast eve Mendez cher.the Farrerl brothers who director this film they are on to sure fire comedy hit Damon and Kinnear give full-scale performances and make their characters both hilarious and touching. The way the brothers support each other physically and emotionally is a delight. Eva Mendes is adorable as the starlet whose reaction to finding them joined at the abdomen is to ask where they had it done. Whatever "work" Cher has had done has removed some of the expression from her face, but she is game and seems to enjoy spoofing her diva image. Streep is just a hoot, especially in her last scene.

Unlike previous Farrelly brothers efforts, this one draws humor out of a physical challenge without being mean-spirited toward its targets. Walt's agent, Morty, advises the brothers to hide their uniqueness, but April (a lingerie model and aspiring actress) smartly tells them to embrace who they are.

Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021)

Summon the spirit of the past to a present connection

[10/10 · 7 March 2024]

Fall in love with the extended Ghostbusters universe all over again from dir Jason Reitman and his father who produces this film comes a proper sequel to his father's film in 84 When a single mum arrives at a small town. And her 2kids at a farm house where the begin to discover their connections to the original Ghostbusters and the secret legacy their grandfather an original Ghostbuster left behind The one of the kids has a a familiar look and career in a sense Callie, a single mother of two. Son Trevor (Finn Wolfhard) is a sullen teen with a knack for mechanics. But 12-year-old daughter Phoebe (Mckenna Grace) is a misfit science whiz, a gift she apparently inherited from her grandfather, whose identity is revealed to us in the most eye-rolling way. They all schlep to fictional, small-town Summerville to take over Grandpa's dilapidated farm, but when they get there, they soon realize there's something strange in the neighborhood.

I feels like a speildberg nostalgic approach like a goonies appeal The casting of Stranger Things star Finn Wolfhard brings a similar resonance for a younger audience. He plays the older of two siblings who discover their dead grandpa's secrets when they are forced to move to his spooky, run-down farm.

The ecto 1 has an exciting upgrade and more cool gadgets to but and some cool ghost traps on wheels watch out for that 8/10 With Paul rudd having fun his role he is a teacher in his role but then finds he is like a child at Christmas with toys to play with fun in cheek role Near end of the movie is a nostalgia tear felt moment in which I won't spoil enjoy.

10/10 for fun.

The Bourne Ultimatum (2007)

Finally our of the shadows as he Remembers everything forgives nothing

[10/10 · 18 February 2024]

From dir Paul Greengrass and academy award winning actor so after his memory loss lost the one person he loved he is undeterred from a barrage of bullets from the next generation of highly trained killers following his every move This Matt Damon's highest at 227million Until the Martian it's one of the rare films in the 2000s that actually grew at the box office before Marvel movies got hold Run, Jason, run. The Bourne films have taken chases beyond a storytelling technique and made them into the story. Jason Bourne's search for the secret of his identity doesn't involve me in pulsating empathy for his dilemma This time, Bourne is engaged in a desperate hunt through, alphabetically, London, Madrid, Moscow, New York, Paris, in Tangier there is incredible bike chases down steps rooftop running jumping into side streets with policr chasing and window jumps this a great bit of action as rogue agent is on the run as been watched by Bourne and and Turin, while secret CIA operatives in America track him using a perplexing array of high-tech gadgets and techniques As with Bourne he relies on his wits and there is hint at a relationship with Nicky Parsons played by a fiesty Julia styles The CIA operation, previously called Treadstone, is now called Blackbriar. That'll cover their tracks Of course there are sensational car chases, improbable leaps over high places, clever double reverses and lightning decisions. Sometimes agent Pamela Lundy (Joan Allen), who suspects maybe there is something to be said on Jason's behalf, and her boss Noah Vosen (David Strathairn), who must have inherited hatred of Bourne as part of the agency's institutional legacy, since he wasn't in the first two movies. And then finally that shadowy nightmare figure in Bourne's flashbacks comes into focus.

The Bourne Supremacy (2004)

It's a mistake to chase him and provoke the beast

[9/10 · 17 February 2024]

The Bourne Supremacy builds on and exceeds the original, delivering, quite simply, one of the finest big-budget thrillers in years.

Since any of events of Bourne Identity, amnesiac former CIA hit man Jason Bourne has been living under the radar and off the map. But, his violent, covert past catches up with him, so, instead of running, he decides to take the fight to them.

His id was stolen he is slowly recovering his name While the film's storyline in no way follows its novel counterpart "The Bourne Supremacy", both stories do begin similarly. In both instances, Jason and Marie are enjoying a domestic life while an unknown assassin frames Jason Bourne for his kills.

Damon's Bourne is cold yet not emotionless, lethal yet not invincible - a very human hero, racked by emotional and physical pain. It's a brave performance and, by the end, there will be few who won't want to see Bourne on the run again soon

This is one lean mean machine at 1hr 44mins Move over bond there is a new kid in town Bourne is on the run again in goa with everyone from spies looking with his girlfriend Maria as he thinks about peace are crushed as he narrowly escaped assignation attempt as he is been hunted by unknown enemy across the world Naples Berlin Moscow Bourne proves to be neither am easy target or person who skill is underestimated this is more gritty more fast car chases in a mini This is the second highest at 205million.

The Bourne Identity (2002)

A malfunctioning 30million dollar weapon

[8/10 · 12 February 2024]

I sorry I didn't get too see in the cinema In the early 2000s, the action movie was in mortal danger. The reliable heroes of the 80s and 90s -were going out of fashion But The Bourne Identity is still better. The techniques that Greengrass overdid in Supremacy and Ultimatum are applied more judiciously in the first film. Its director Doug Liman

Because of 9/11 happened The Bourne Identity and its sequels rely on the tools that were the source of much public debate in the era of the Patriot Act, namely an unlimited access to surveillance cameras, phone lines, credit card activity and bank records. In the intelligence agency of the Bourne movies, this is accepted as the way of doing business, so the film comes off as a pointed critique of governments The film has a few mins added to the DVD start of Matt Damon an academy winner is the star of this movie he changed the action gener into thinking man's action in this explosive action packed edge of your seat packed with incredible hand to hand fight sequences as Bourne has two bullets in his back Jason Bourne discovers had very dangerous set of skills of a very dangerous man without his memory of his past as he goes to lengths to unlock his past secret from Treadstone, which is about the black ops program's shady origins - I'd he unknownly discovers truths as an elete government agent There is a kindness to Bourne He doesn't steal Marie's car or force her to help him, but makes her a generous offer and gives her the freedom to say no. He's sensitive to her feelings throughout. He tries to keep her out of danger. At one point he realizes his pursuers have a take-no-prisoners attitude, and forces Marie to let him go on alone. Bourne shows concern for innocent children who may be at risk because of his presence in their home, and insures their protection before going after his attacker.

A multi million dollar weapon the government don't trust he is the government number 1 target in this super charged thriller Across Greece Berlin new York The small hotel where Bourne and Marie hold up in Paris before fleeing to the country is called "Hotel de la Paix How he fell into operation Treadstone in the first place is unclear, but his often noble behavior and concern for others suggests that it may even have been against his will. This makes him a sympathetic fugitive. He's no saint, but we want to see him survive the system and start a new life of reordered priorities. Unfortunately, Damon's conflicted superspy, exciting cat-and-mouse action and some beautiful European locales can't compensate for inappropriate language and frequent killings.

As with the box office this was the lowest 147million.

Wild Hogs (2007)

Mid life crises on reoute

[7/10 · 16 October 2023]

The a list of comedy tim allen Martin Lawrence John Travolta William h Macey and a wild cameo from John C McKinlay star in Wild hogs this hysterical and genuinely funny comedy About 4men who go wild as wkend warriors who decided to rev up leave their mundane lives behind go cross country on motorcycle adventures they don their leathers fire up their hogs and throw everything of their modern life to the wind and hit the open highway as you know lot can happen on the road to knowwhere including a bad to the bone d el fuegos. A real biker gang who don't like wannabes this film is. Filled with misadventures screwball comedy situations I saw this in the cinema These Wild Hogs are notable for their camaraderie. And it's not always a shallow one, either. Over the years they've forged relationships that consist of more than poker and sports.

There's some doubt that the road trip actually does any good beyond male bonding. As for how it affects their families, at best Doug's wife begins thinking he's "hot" again, and Bobby finally works up the courage to tell his bossy and condescending wife firmly but gently that "he's tired of being talked at."

Joe Somebody (2001)

He is somebody to fear

[7/10 · 24 September 2023]

Funny man Tim Allen is Joe Scheffer a mild mannered single dad who feels overworked and under appreciated in his office .so when one day the big company bully knocks him over in a car space that wasn't his in front of his daughter Joe vows revenge to stop been a nobody and wreck havok he trains with Jim Belushi character in marshal arts Joe somebody is really is heartwarming romcom that in its centre is really one man's amusing struggle to straighten out his life and his priorities to prove himself to his daughter and must endear himself to the girl of him dreams I gave this film 7/10 and Tim Allen and him Belushi did all their own stunt work for this movie.

The Batman (2022)

Chasing riddles bring the lights of justice it's a warning not just to themThey think I am the shadows I am

[9/10 · 9 September 2023]

A killer targets Gotham's elite with criptic clues on each targets for the bat to investigate as evidence mount he must forge new relationships unmasks the culprits bringing justice amidst the corruption This is the first version of Batman to address the black eye makeup under the cowl directly. In previous films, the makeup just disappeared when Bruce took his mask off.

Robert Pattinson's Bruce Wayne is partially inspired by Kurt Cobain Bruce is shown out of costume during daylight, hiding his face with a helmet, scarf, and baseball cap (and wearing eye-shade). This is akin to "Batman: Year One," where he never wore the Batsuit except at night.

Due to being so impressed with Paul Dano's performance as The Riddle his take on the serial killler in california the two most recent Planet of the Apes films, has come up with a corker of an angle: a sprawling and sinuous urban detective thriller, with the intricately unhinged red-wool-on-corkboard plotting of classic film noir.

Catwoman is a drug dealer and hostess at a nightclub with mob ties operated by the Penguin (played by an unrecognisably uglified Colin Farrell) and frequented by John Turturro's cucumber-cool crime boss Carmine Falcone. This means there's no star turn - the film doesn't have room for one, and even keeps the bankable Pattinson hidden behind a mask in most of his scenes - but rather a deep bench of tremendous character performances that add enthralling colour and intrigue to the winding underworld mystery plot.

But Zoë Kravitz's nuanced turn in The Batman might be the best one yet.

The penguin played by Colin Farrell he does get much time but he steals a few scenes And a standout scene What makes this chase sequence so great is just how messy and chaotic it is. It's so frustrating when you watch a car chase scene in a movie and traffic moves so perfectly out of the protagonist's way. In most action movies, cars in chase scenes expertly weave through perfectly timed gaps in traffic but not here, not in The Batman. Instead, Batman and Penguin bump, spin, and even crash into other cars throughout the entire scene. Penguin literally gets stuck in traffic at one point. The only other car chase scene I can think of that can match The Batman's is the one from Mission Impossible: Fallout, which features similarly chaotic driving It's also frantic, with a real sense of panic from Farrell's Penguin, as he sees an almost psychotically determined Batman violently chasing him down, like a predator chasing its prey. Pattinson's Batman has little regard for the destruction he leaves in his wake, concerned only with catching one of Gotham's slimiest villains Catwoman is traditionally depicted as a callous, cold-hearted sociopath, but Kravitz's take is much more grounded and well-balanced. This version of the character feels more like a real human being.

The cool aspects of CGI in this the fibre optic eye lenses (like in the PS3 Arkum aslyum games) , that shows whose who of people at falconey club

And Pattinson and Kravitz together generate more sensual charge than entire franchises have been known to muster. How long has it been since comic-book heroes were last allowed to be this unapologetically hot, as opposed to just effortfully buff?

If Kravitz's watchful, complex Catwoman occasionally recalls Jane Fonda in Klute, or Wright's Jim Gordon makes you think of Gene Hackman in The French cites the Batman comic "Ego" as an influence on Batman's portrayal in this film: "I wanted to get into the mindset of the character and I wanted to think of the psychology for me. I think one of the cool deep-dive ones was Darwyn Cooke's Ego. He's confronting the beast that is Batman, and there's a kind of duality. There's a lot in the story about Bruce Wayne confronting the shadow side of himself that's Batman and the degree to which you have self knowledge. There's psychological union, where Batman is broken and he does things for reasons he knows and reasons he doesn't know yet." said the scene when Batman jumps off the roof and glides through the air was filmed in the style of YouTube videos of wingsuiters that Reeves had watched.

When Batman falls into the floodwater after severing the power lines, the loss of power and damage to the stadium plunges the place into pitch-darkness. Despite being in his element, Batman lights up a flare to provide a guiding light to the imperiled civilians and guide them out of the darkness towards the light, dispelling their fear of him. This showcases Bruce's decision to become a Hope Bringer for the city rather than remain a Terror Hero who can only inspire fear in those around him, even the ones he seeks to protect. It's also a baptism for his rebirth into heroism.

Selina refers to Batman and herself as the "Bat and the Cat," have brought to their Marvel roles. The Batman is a great introduction for Kravitz's Selina, but hopefully it's just the beginn

At 175 minutes, this is the longest Batman film.

Step Brothers (2008)

Families is where brothers finds hope,as Steps taken to make them grow

[7/10 · 17 June 2023]

I saw this in the cinema and it a very very funny movie with John c Reilly and will Ferrell both hitting their funny lines off each other by playing nerds who just don't want to grow old causing choas Brennan Huff and Dale Doback are both about 40 when Brennan's mom and Dale's dad marry. The sons still live with the parents so they must now share a room. Initial antipathy threatens the household's peace and the parents' relationship. Dad lays down the law: both slackers have a month to find a job. Out of the job search and their love of music comes a pact that leads to friendship but more domestic disarray compounded by the boys' sleepwalking. Hovering nearby are Brennan's successful brother and his lonely wife: the brother wants to help sell his step-father's house, the wife wants Dale's attention, and the newlyweds want to retire and sail the seven seas. Can harmony come from the discord? The chemistry between Reilly and Ferrell is hilarious.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

Grand calcullious of the opening of the multiverse

[10/10 · 17 June 2023]

Including 616, a total of 23 universes are featured.

Universe from the opening is indeed a universe numbered 617, one past the main MCU, which is Earth- Although the one-eyed tentacle monster that tries to catch America Chavez is named Gargantos, actually no one in the movie refers to it by this name.

Wong is forced by Scarlet Witch to take her to Mount Wundagore, where the Darkhold was originally written. In the comics, Wundagore is where Wanda Maximoff (the Scarlet Witch) and her brother, Pietro (Quicksilver) were born, and where Chthon, who authored the Darkhold, played a first-hand role in infusing Wanda with her magical powers In their first travel across the Multiverse, Dr. Strange and America Chavez cross exactly 20 different alternate realities, traveling from Earth-616 to Earth-838, including a dinosaur world, a skeleton world, a bee world, a sea world, an animated world, a high-tech pipe world, and a paint world. In addition, in one of them can be seen (for a couple seconds at around 37 mins) Living Tribunal's head. In the comics Living Tribunal is the most powerful cosmic entity, in charge to preserve a perfect balance in the Multiverse

This is the third time that Dr. Strange breaks the natural law: in Doctor Strange (2016) (at around 51 mins) he uses the Eye of Agamotto to restore the lost pages in the Book of Cagliostro, unwittingly breaking the space-time continuum. Later (at around 1h 32 mins) he uses the Eye of Agamotto again to restore Hong Kong and its Sanctum Santorum that Kaecilius had destroyed to get Dormammu and Dark Dimension to rule the Earth. In this movie, Dr. Strange uses the Darkhold from Sinister Strange to dream-walk not only into another universe, but also into a dead variant of him (Defender Strange).

The battle scene at kamar taji scene was supposed to be a bit more of an epic battle, but it was cut down for the purpose of getting to the second act quicker

Wanda's destruction of Chthon's tower in Mount Wundagore resembles the Sokovia destruction seen in Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015): both rise into the air first to fall after.

Rachel McAdams was originally going to play 3 Variants of Christine Palmer but ended up with only 2. Across many multiverses.

Another marvel from marvel 10/10.

Behind Enemy Lines (2001)

He has crossed to many lines his mission is survive

Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)

Spiderman bending the universe to his will To build the multiverse by default

[10/10 · 22 April 2023]

Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) takes place directly after the events of Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019). Meaning that it takes place in Summer-Winter of 2024.

For the first time in cinematic history spiderman I'd has been shown around the world and tarnished his friendly neighborhood reputation after the end credits of far from home this brings his super hero responsibilities in conflict with his normal life and putting those he cared about emotionally at risk and His nemis The first time the audience sees J. K. Simmons in this movie as J. Jonah Jameson giving news revealing Spider-Man's identity, it can be seen that Jameson is in a makeshift studio in his own home with a green wall as chroma key and a wall with post-it notes about Spider-Man. After Dr Strange casts a spell to make the entire world forget who Peter Parker is, Jameson is seen giving news again, but this time he appears in a proper Daily Bugle studio, implying that he succeeded as journalist.

When he enlist Dr strange magic to restore his secret when Peter changes his mind mid spell it tears the universe apart and releases all the bad villains who ever fought spiderman in any universe Doc oc sandman electro lizard green goblin William Defoe has a blast as Peter over comes his greatest challange this also alters his future as well as the grand opening of the multiverse. Peters uses his own internet of web slinging with his spidy tingle When Spider-Man was first introduced into the MCU in Captain America: Civil War, it was wrongly assumed that he was without his spider-sense, despite him actively using it in his fight with Falcon and Winter Soldier. In Spider-Man: Far From Home, he's shown struggling with the ability due the chaotic mental state he's in at the time. In this movie, Peter has mastered his spider sense to such a level, that he is able to detect a personality change in another person. This is shown in the scene where he's trying to 'cure' the villains, Norman internally switches personalities but changes nothing externally about himself, and Peter is able to sense that danger is approaching

And his friend ned who robs stranges slingshot and uses it This film is nostalgic and having a shared universe in the spider verse as a older fan of the rest of the films it brings the hairs up my arm watching this central part of the plot if I give to much away it spoils the big surprise and ending of this movie

.At one point during the Spider-Man vs. Green Goblin's penthouse fight, Peter clenches Goblin's torso with his legs and delivers a baker's dozen of blows to the face in which the Goblin reacts by crackling with a ghoulish face. This scene somewhat mirrors Batman attacking a maniacally laughing Joker during the interrogation scene in The Dark Knight (2008). The partial lower Dutch tilt angles, the pain-resistant purple/green-clad villainous psychopath crackling, and the masked-hero furiously punching them are nearly similar.

This film marks the first MCU trilogy to be directed by the same director: Jon Watts. All previous MCU trilogies, such as Iron Man and Captain America, had only two movies that had consistent directors through their respective trilogies During the final sequence, when multiple tears appear in the fabric of reality, several other classic enemies of Spider-Man can be seen waiting to enter the MCU dimension and the battle captian of liberty what an emotional finale as we see the universe tearing and seeing strange fighting to fix reality and ne charactersvAmong them are Rhino, Kraven the Hunter, Scorpion, Mysterio, Superior Spider-Man, and Black Cat (all rumored to make future appearances in the Sonyverse).

What a movie. A classic and seeing Spiderman swinging through the snow fun idea.

Black widow has been worth the wait Natasha confronts the darker parts of her ledger when a dangerous conspiracy with past ties Arises she is pursued by a force that stops for no one to bringbher down Natasha has history as a spy and broken many relationships left in her wake long before her been an avenger

The film is set after Captain America: Civil War (2016), but before Avengers: Infinity War (2018). In the pre-credits scene, Natasha can be seen sporting the blond hair she had in Infinity War and going off grid The Mil-8 helicopter During a flash back scene in Budapest, where Natasha is waiting in her car just before the building explodes. This is the first time you can actually hear her with a slight Russian Early on in the film, Alexei Shostakov spends much of his time imprisoned in a Russian In Avengers Assemble (2012), during the battle with the Chitauri, Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) mentioned to Clint Barton/Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) that it's "just like Budapest all over again", to which Barton remarked that they clearly "remember Budapest very differently". It's finally revealed here that "Budapest" was Black Widow's ticket into S. H. I. E. L. D., and was a mission where she and Barton fought half the Hungarian army after bombing a five-story building, although Barton may have a stronger memory of the two of them hiding from the authorities for 10 days (2 of them while hiding in an air duct). And in Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014), as Natasha is about to reveal HYDRA's secret files, Pierce tells her "If you do this, none of your past will remain hidden: not Budapest, Osaka, the Children's Ward. Are you sure you want the world to see you as you truly are?" In this movie the audience learn that he was insinuating the Budapest mission, where Natasha's decision resulted in the supposed death of an innocent young girl -- which is also Melinda May's original sin in Marvel's Agents of S. H. I. E. L. D., the TV show.

[7/10 · 21 August 2022]

Don't put all you eggs in one basket A royal flushed out

The movie takes place in 1875. You can see the date in the scene where Angel's character receives a telegram about Maverick and in the right-hand corner is the date.

After Bret Maverick escapes from his botched hanging, he is shown plodding through the desert, dragging a tree limb behind him as the sand swirls around him The cast includes three Oscar winners: Mel Gibson, Jodie Foster, James Coburn, and two nominees: James Garner and Graham Green and a brilliantly directed by richard donner

He got a cast up For it as they up the ante with fun and laughter aplenty Mel Gibson is a sly gambler Bret Maverick jodie Foster is a charming scammer and James garner returns from the TV series is back as the laid back lawman with a twist this is a real crowd pleasing that will give you the perfect winning hand

With more twist than trail in the west that turns at every moment and more sleights of hands than any card game played maverick proves you can have fun in the west and proof so a riverboat poker tournament with a half million prize on offer and bret wants it all as he owes a lot of people money but he has obstacles to contented with snakes hangman noose, a wily Indian chief, outlaws, card players but has more lives than a cat

The jokers, Gibson, Foster and garner are wild.
