Girls (2012)
An ironically named show that doesn't understand "Girls" or "Boys" either. It should be called Aliens, or Stereotypes.
You've spent your life trying to figure out girls, if only there was a TV show that showed just how they think and why they do the things they do, well i'm going to tell you now that Girls is NOT that show.
Meet Hannah, the not so cute smartass friend that is so dull that you would feel yourself losing the will to live whilst talking to her on the phone. Marnie: "awww poor me, I have a needy boyfriend. What I need is a man who pushes me around and treats me like crap" And of course Shoshanna, the one you wouldn't wanna be stuck on a long car ride/flight/train journey with. She's that friend that you "accidentally" push down the stairs and say "whoopsie" Then there is Jessa, the British "free spirit" that gets married to a guy on a whim because that is the ultimate freedom, marrying a guy and getting tied down.
And don't get me started on the guys. Let's start with Adam, probably the worst depiction of a male character ever. Literally the creepiest character on a show ever, played by the creepiest looking man on the planet. I'm surprised there aren't guys everywhere boycotting the show for its pathetic portrayal of male characters. I've seen Adam Driver in other stuff and yeah he is kinda weird but this character makes no sense. The only remotely normal guy is Ray, and that's because he has no character, he's just a dude playing himself. Charlie is laughably bad, he is needy, even during sex he will start crying and say "stay close to me, come closer" You won't find a person like him on the planet. No one is that needy, but this is the world that Lena Dunham lives in. There is a stereotypical gay guy just thrown in for diversity's sake.
Are you a fascist superficial pig? Well here are Lena Dunhams boobs and crotch to sort you out. What? you don't want to look at them? You misogynistic vile animal, what is the matter with you? Lena Dunham will find any reason to show you her "goods". It is just gratuitous and unnecessary. It's like "Calm your tits love and put them away"
A show written by someone who doesn't understand human beings (no matter what gender) and lives in a fantasy world where almost everyone is white (I'm still on season 1 people). If aliens observed the world for 10 years and then came down and made a show about us, this is the show they would make. With less nudity probably, unless if one of the aliens were the lead actor, then there will be lots of gratuitous nudity (still not as much as we get now)
Gotham (2014)
The LONGEST Batman teaser ever made!
You've heard the legend of the Batman; DCs most badass superhero. Prepare yourself for a "fresh" take on his origin story. You probably want to see the worlds greatest detective (worlds greatest everything, he's the cleverest man in the universe, if Thanos and Darkseid teamed up and had an army full of Batmans villains, he'd still defeat them because he's very intelligent/prep time/utility belt/gary stu) face off with the most badass villains on the planet don't you? Well you're sht outta luck, you'll have to settle for the infinitely less impressive Detective James Gordon.
James Gordon is here with one goal, to save his city. We know that the sad state of Gotham is what inspires Bruce to go on to become Batman, so that means one of two things will happen: 1. James fails at his job so terribly that an orphan billionaire is forced to dress up as a bat and do his job for him or 2. The Batman of this universe will be SIGNIFICANTLY different to the one that we know and love (a massive retcon happens at the end of season 1, but I shall not spoil anything for you, I'd rather you watch it yourself and be disappointed) You know the villains will never reach their full potential, and even if they do, they will NEVER go head to head with Batman.
Batmans villains are some of DCs most iconic, his epic battles with them are stuff of legend, but before we see the epic we have the misfortune of seeing his rogues "before they were cool" See his future love interest Catwoman as a child. "Call me Cat" she says, why? because reasons. Ivy wears all green and is obsessed with plants, hmmmm I wonder who she will turn out to be. Edward Nygma is always randomly speaking in riddles, I don't know why though, I just can't figure it out. THESE VILLAINS NEED FRICKING NAME TAGS ON THEM SHOWING ME WHO THEY GROW UP TO BE OTHERWISE I'LL NEVER GUESS WHO THEY ARE!!! There is no subtlety in showing who the villains are, it's all in your face because the writers don't think you're capable of recognizing Batmans villains (it's not like they are the most popular villains of any comicbook character ever or anything) The writers want you to forget that this is Batmans origin story and focus on James Gordon, yet they shoehorn young Bruce into every other episode reminding you that it's in fact a (rather badly done) Batman origin story. See a whole new version of Alfred that you won't be ready for, although after a slight adjustment of expectations, he may start to grow on you.
The only saving grace is the excellent show-saver The Penguin. Perfectly portrayed by Robin Lord Taylor. The show would be much better if it was his origin story, but unfortunately it's not. Instead it's an extended Batman teaser showing James Gordon (inevitabely fail at) getting rid of corruption in Gotham City. A young Bruce who has a higher chance of growing up to be the bumbling nerd Clark Kent than the intelligent Bruce Wayne that we all love.
If you are into police procedurals then you're going to love this show, however if you love Batman and his villains, then you might want to check out a little show called Arrow (which is unintentionally a better Batman story than this one)
Hitman: Agent 47 (2015)
Hit-man: Agent 90 - Judgement Day
He is out there! he can't be bargained with. He can't be reasoned with. He doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And he absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.
I am of course talking about the Termina...... Hit-man! After Fox had their pathetic attempt at cashing in on a popular video game franchise and failing terribly. They figured "hey! why not have another go" and decided they needed to do something different. So naturally they came up with this pathetic attempt at cashing in on a popular video game franchise, and surprisingly failed terribly at it once again.
Not only does this film shamelessly steal plot points from the Terminator movie series, but it also follows the Terminator tradition of spoiling key plots of the film in the trailer.
We have the awesome Rupert "Jack Bauer of Homeland" Friend playing the lead role as the unstoppable killing machine; Hit-man: Agent 47. Zachary "who is junglejim4322@yahoo.com?" Quinto playing Kyle Reese....Sorry I mean John Connor....wait no I mean John Smith....Or is it Brian? Oh who cares. Moving on, we have the lovely Hannah Ware playing Katia "Not a Sarah Connor rip off" Van DeezNuts.
Let's get to the story! The story is about the Agent T4700, who hunts this woman because he is apparently trying to kill her for some reason. Luckily for her she has Zachary Quinto who has been sent to save her from this unstoppable killing machine. However, brace yourself for a twist that you will never see coming (unless if you've seen the trailer) The woman in question is Katia. A normal girl living in Berlin who for some reason has heightened senses and is obsessed with finding an old man, she doesn't know why though (you'll probably figure out where this storyline is going assuming you haven't suffered a severe head injury, or destroyed your brain cells due to heavy drug usage) She meets the charming John Smith who gives her a paraphrased version of the speech that Kyle Reese gives Sarah Connor in Terminator (but that's homage people! not plagiarism, so keep your pants on for Gods sake!) The Hit-man arrives promptly and all hell breaks loose. He tries to kill them but he naturally fails. Then the twists start to happen. I shall not go into them because if you've seen the trailer then you've seen half of the movie anyway.
The film should really be called Hit-man Agent90 featuring Agent47. It's hardly about him and his story (or even being a Hit-man in general) but him training this girl on how to survive. If this film was called Guardian47 then that would be alright, but it's not. It's called Hit-man, so it should be about him being a contracted killer (which he is, but not for the most part)
There is one scene that I "enjoyed" (it's not a spoiler, it's in the trailer!) There is a scene when Hit-man is being interrogated, and the cop in charge brings his confiscated Sniper Rifle into the interrogation room. Now that scene has to be one of the worst written scenes ever, there is absolutely no logic in doing that. What was his plan? To threaten Hit-man at gunpoint? It was just a silly plot just so Hit-man can have his guns in the room when he needs them.
The action scenes are decent, definitely an improvement over the action in the previous turd that the studio churned out. They find new creative ways of killing people which is keeping in the spirit of the Hit-man games. The acting (other than Terminators and Sylars) is pretty crap. The soundtrack was decent though.
Does the film deliver? It has plenty homages to the video games. The action is sufficient, and in the same style as the games.
That being said, it was a somewhat enjoyable movie (in a turn your brain off and enjoy this popcorn flick way) with a story that should keep you interested for the most part. Action that you should enjoy and some nipple pokies thrown in for good measure.
Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)
The boring origin story of the least interesting Avenger
Captain America: The Boring Avenger.
People call Superman a boyscout goody two shoes, but this guy really takes the cake.
Remember how much you loved history class? Now watch the World War II story told again but with a slight twist, and the real heroes of that era aren't the good men and women who in their own way fought for the world. Nah the hero really was a Supersoldier guy created by some scientist...but we are getting ahead of ourselves. Let's get to this "interesting" origin story of no ones favourite Avenger.
After being rejected by the military (for being a skinny git, who the Nazis could blow away by simply farting in his general direction) Steve "Language" Rogers decides to take part in some random scientists experiment to create "The Perfect Supersoldier!" (original story, never seen it anywhere before) after some generic scenes where he proves his bravery (or suicidal tendencies) he is accepted into the program. In which, he is given superhuman speed and strength and other "super powers" including knowing how to do amazing things with a shield.
He meets Peggy Carter (generic love interest) now don't get me wrong, she is an amazing character and she goes onto star in a Marvel One Shot, and even got her own TV show. The actress is amazing, so is the character, however the love story is the "generic" aspect of it all.
You meet his generic boring best friend Bucky Barnes (okay he is the coolest person on the planet in Captain America 2, but that's not this movie. He was nothing in this movie) It could be argued that this movie sets up the second one, but I would want to punch that person in the face for even trying to justify that. This movie should stand on it's own but it doesn't. Anyway back to this borefest movies story.
Captain America realises that the Nazis are controlled by *gasp* Hydra!! OMG SO BADASS! And Red Skull is the big bad guy, okay now I must admit he actually was a cool bad guy. Not the best but definitely better than the way overrated pretty boy villain/anti hero Loki.
You will try to muster up some excitement for Tony Starks dad, but his brief scene hardly means anything but hey who am I to tell you what to get off to.
The good guys fight the bad guys in the most forgettable and boring ways possible. Me and my friend (Sorry I mean my friend and I) both walked out of this movie bored crapless. There is one saving grace in this borefest of a movie, and that is the end scene where Cap wakes up in present time. That scene was incredible. The rest of this movie is tripe and unforgettable.
My advice is watch the Bucky Barnes scenes on youtube for context when you watch the (undisputedly and ironically best Marvel film ever made to date) sequel. Watch the ending scene on youtube and spare yourself the rest of the movie. You could try arguing that you have to watch for Peggy but no you don't. The rest of her stuff she is in is independent so don't suffer through this atrocity just to understand her story. I'm sure there's gotta be some compilation of her scenes on youtube as well.
Don't let this turd turn you off from Captain America movies though because its sequel will blow your mind. It will be everything you could possibly want from a superhero movie, this film is a massive disgrace compared to it.
Fast & Furious 7 (2015)
7 Fast 7 Furious: The Revenge of Shaw
Dominic Toretto and his fast gang of furious street racers are back again for the 7th time! The stakes are 7 times higher than ever before.
You saw the gang go against Owen Shaw and generally kick his ass, putting him in a coma. They thought it was all over but now here comes his big brother who you learn (in an over the top dramatic opening scene) ends up having to fight all his little brothers battles. So watch him naturally hunt Torettos team in an action packed sequel which will once again defy the laws of physics (and gravity) have a cheesy romance story and of course have cars! doing stuff that cars aren't supposed to do (or able to do really if we are being 100% scientifically accurate) Jason Statham (despite being accepted as an action hero for some reason) has a reputation for playing the same guy in every film, same accent, same mannerisms, the only difference really is if his character gets a sense of humour or not, in this case he goes without one. I'm not a Statham fan (is it obvious?) but he absolutely kills in this movie! (pun intended) From the previously mentioned dramatic opening scene to the action packed climax he stays amazing cool, oozing with charisma and general badassness.
The film has the usual team dynamic with Ludicrous being the hacker and Tyrese being the (cringeworthy unfunny) comic relief, Toretto and Brian teaming up once again (sadly for the last time) to stop the big bad guy, of course there is a forced romance story between Toretto and Letty, wasting precious screen time with their little angsty story was amazing to see on the big screen. Kurt Russell makes an appearance as a not so shady business man with "an offer they can't refuse" One of the chicks from Game of Thrones makes a brief appearance (as well as a nobody "Bollywood actor") Stathams character always decides to make an appearance at the most inconvenient times. The Rock is on bed rest for most of the movie, but don't worry even he has a few good scenes in the movie. So you'll be seeing all of these amazing characters (also random ass shots of girls throughout the movie just because the director wants to confirm that you know that he is a pervert and an assguy, not a titguy) Overall it's a good action flick with everything you would have come to expect from a Fast and Furious movie. Fast cars, random uninspired ass shots (literally the camera zooming into random womens asses because that's normal behaviour for a self respecting director) breathtaking action scenes, cheesy dialogue (AKA Tyrese humour) the characters randomly having to travel the world, grand theft auto, A-star celebrity cameos (with Iggy Azalea thrown in for good measure) and in the end enjoy a (pretty amazingly done) goodbye montage to a fantastic actor that will leave you teary eyed.
So bottom line, it's an action packed sequel that satisfies and is actually more fun than its predecessors. This movie made me a Stathan fan (well...) I highly recommend it to everyone who's into mindless action movies (Statham fans/Fast and Furious Fans)
Daredevil (2015)
A vigilante show done right
You're obviously familiar with the Marvel Cinematic Universe (if not then where the heck have you been?) A fantasy world where there are no consequences and no one ever really dies, it's all so happy go lucky right? Wrong! Introducing Daredevil, the Marvel TV show that breaks the mold that you are used to seeing (and possibly getting bored of) by showing a side to New York that you've never seen before in this universe. Set in a dark and gritty (people seem to trash DC for this but praise it here because double standards/hypocrisy) Hells Kitchen.
Matt Murdock is your run of the mill nice likable blind guy who is starting his own law firm with his bestie Foggy Nelson. But during the night he becomes "that dude in the mask" who kicks some serious criminal ass all over Hells Kitchen.
This leads to him inevitably coming head to head with the crime lord of the area Wilson Fisk (fantastically portrayed by Vincent D'onofrio) who is the worst kind of villain, the kind who thinks hes the good guy! The action scenes are amazing, don't expect the usual CGI crap that you are normally treated to, but realistic fight scenes (on par with the fight scenes from the Raid movies) that will have you constantly rewinding them just so you can get the chills all over again. Seriously the cinematography needs to win some serious awards, this was movie level stuff. There is even a "one take" action scene which is on par with the one in True Detective.
The writing is above par, you never feel like you are watching a TV show, you feel like you are watching a well written and directed movie. The show has humour but it isn't forced or stupid in your face childish humour but appropriate humour (kinda like how it is in DC movies) You don't get a cartoonish villain but a well written and acted villain with multiple layers to his personality, he even gets his own love story that you see from the start.
You meet Karen Page, who is Matt and Foggys first case. They help her through her current predicament, which leads to her joining their new law firm. And becoming an important part of their team.
The story is (mostly) interesting, the show slightly loses steam midway when you are dealing with a character dealing with an important "revelation" However the show quickly picks up steam and doesn't lose it for the rest of the show.
The Karen and Foggy scenes are hit or miss, I personally didn't mind them, they took my mind off things that were going on at the time but some people found them boring. So it depends on how much you care about these characters.
Charlie Cox does an amazing job as Matt Murdock/Daredevil, who despite playing a blind guy manages to portray his emotions and feelings perfectly. The rest of the cast does well too, singling out the performance by D'onofrio who (like I said before) does a role like he has never done before.
The season is just long enough to tell its story, it isn't like 22 episodes long so they have to drag it on with filler story lines. It's a self contained season with everything relevant (besides maybe the Stick episode but then I'm sure that will be relevant in future seasons) This is the journey of an ordinary man turning into a vigilante, and then a hero. At the same time it's the story of a man thinking he's a hero, until realising that he is the villain of the story (in an awesome scene of self discovery) and then becoming what he was always destined to be.
People will try to compare this to Arrow but it's Apples and Oranges, both shows are so different that you should try to appreciate each for their own individuality.
This show is amazing, believe the critics, it's a fantastic (and much needed) change of pace in the Marvel universe. This is Marvel showing DC that they know how to play the game as well, and do a good job at it too.
I highly recommend this show to everyone (also it's part of the MCU so characters from it will inevitably show up in the movies, also it's setting up The Defenders TV series so you kinda have to watch it just so you know what the heck is going on!)
Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)
Better than the first one
You've seen the original, you've endured the countless standalone movies just so you won't be wondering "who the heck is this guy" when it comes to the inevitable Avengers movie. Now comes the latest installment from the studio that constantly serves you the same old dish every time, yet you keep coming back for more.
The Avengers are back! and they're bigger than ever, watch the movie open with a (well done) CGI fightfest where Whedon shows off the fantastic visuals of this summer blockbuster in an opening battle where the Avengers eliminate most of what's left of Hydra.
Meet Ultron, the robotic love child of Tony Stark and Bruce Banner who was created "to maintain peace" so Tony and his friends can have a break from saving the world. Now Ultron (perfectly voiced by James Spader) becomes self aware and (rightfully) decides that the biggest threat to peace, is humanity itself. Naturally declaring war on the whole of mankind. The Avengers have a problem with this, thus starting the Age of Ultron.
The Avengers (as overrated as it was) was actually a good movie, but it had a lot of stuff going for it. It was the first time they would team up after all those solo movies. It featured the fan favourite Loki as the villain. They had been leading up to it since the first Iron Man film, so it was highly anticipated. In the end the movie did well for many reasons but the main one being that it was the first time these characters would be on screen together.
Age of Ultron didn't have that going for it, not like the first one did, so they had a more difficult job to tell an interesting story because the novelty of the Avengers assembling has worn off. So did it succeed? Well for the most parts yes. The action scenes were beautiful to watch, moreso than the first (the writers clearly learned from the action scenes from Man of Steel) The story is mostly easy to follow (bar the random out of place scenes where Thor has visions that reference future Marvel movies) It is a very interesting story except for a few scenes, for example there is a short section of the movie where Hawkeye decides to take The Avengers to his farm house where we are treated to a few pointless scenes with Hawkeye and his random family (that serves no purpose whatsoever, but was only put in the movie because Whedon feels guilty about not having enough Hawkeye scenes in the first movie)
The movie gets back into the action after these scenes and keeps the momentum going. Another part of the story is the forced romance between Black Widow and Bruce Banner/Hulk. Now who doesn't love a bit of romance in a superhero movie? In a standalone movie this would have been absolutely fine. However this isn't just an ordinary movie now is it? it's an Avengers movie! where there are so many characters that hardly anyone gets enough screen time as it is. So throwing in a forced romance story (that had no previous forshadowing or back story whatsoever as much as the blind fanboys say otherwise) really takes something away from the otherwise almost perfect story.
The feminists came running accusing the movie of being "sexist" and "anti feminist" bar a few sex jokes there is absolutely nothing sexist about this film and the feminists didn't have a leg to stand on. All the characters were treated with respect and represented perfectly (some given abit too much respect, see what I wrote about Hawkeye) And how can I forget about the Maximoff twins! Both are portrayed by amazing actors and their journey of starting off as villains but becoming heroes is a well done one.
The film sticks to the usual Marvel formula. Explosions and jokes, the explosions are done amazingly well but the jokes fall flat depending on your age and type of sense of humour. The usually quick and witty Tony Stark makes silly sex jokes and other jokes that really are just dumbed down. There is a scene (early on) where Tony "swears" and Captain America says "Language" and this begins an running gag in the movie where everyone is like "oh don't swear in front of Captain" this joke might get a giggle at first but it gets old so fast that you just cringe whenever it is referenced to (throughout the film) Ultron is treated to a sort of dark sense of humour (and occasionally quotes random Disney songs) however it works on him (mostly because of James Spaders amazing delivery) There are references and easter eggs to other Marvel characters just to excite your inner geek, which are done well also. There are some themes covered in this film. Morality isn't really one of them, I mean it is briefly touched on but lets face it, this is the Marvel world. And there are no real consequences to anything. The viewer is treated to several scenes where The Avengers are shown saving individual people rather stopping the main threat that is killing hundreds at the exact same time. There are no real consequences for Tony Stark creating a self aware robot that almost wiped out humanity, but like I said, it's a happy fantasy world. But then again it's nice sometimes to live in a world that isn't as dark as the world that we live in.
Overall the movie is fantastic. With action scenes and cinematography that you would expect from a Marvel movie. The story is interesting for the most part and you will leave the cinema satisfied with this experience, but part of you will be wanting more which is why you will sit through the end credits waiting for that 2 minute scene which teases you until the next Marvel release. It's a good movie, make sure you check it out!
Arrow (2012)
Just watch Daredevil instead or (dare I say it) Gotham......
His name is Oliver Queen, presumed dead he (allegedly) spent 5 years on an Island, now DCs most badass, ruthless hero has returned to Gotha..I mean Starling City and he's here to kick some serious bad guy ass.
Wait, most badass hero? Surely that title belongs to Batman right? What makes Arrow more badass than Batman? The fact that he kills people, not just when he has to but sometimes for the sake of it. It is so refreshing to see that. Sit back and enjoy the amazing fight choreography that will have you at the edge of your seat. Watch Oliver Queen keep up his playboy persona whilst battling Starlings worst criminals.
Be relieved that they skip past the origin story and get straight to him being The Arrow....but if you're the 1% who actually cares about what happened on the Island, enjoy the origin story in the form of weekly flashbacks showing how Gothams...damn I mean Starlings greatest playboy becomes the most ruthless Hero on DCs roster. Watch him hunt down the people who targeted his corrupt family and tried to kill him, as he uncovers the "unpredictable" story that you will see coming from a mile away.
With a perfect mixture of awesome characters, such has his mother, sister, Diggle, his driver turned bodyguard turned lover. His sidekick and not love interest Felicity Smoak who is the comic relief but never is it ever hinted that he loves her or she loves him at all. In this world where superpowers don't exist and will never ever exist according to our very reliable and competent writers, watch our Emerald Archer face off against The Dark Archer and his evil plan to do something very evil on a very large evil scale of evilness!
But that's just Season One! Then comes the rest of the show where they take away all the things that made Arrow unique and get rid of them! Except the flashbacks, nah they are still coming in and they are coming in strong baby.
Cringe, while you watch the main characters comic book love story sidelined so the writer can force another love story that makes no sense at all onto the fans because they get writing cues from their teenage daughters.
Watch this Batman wannabe try so hard and fail at doing what Batman does naturally. Die a little bit inside while the writers destroy the most ruthless Villains from the DC universe and make them into Angst filled caricatures of themselves.
Just when you think the show is at the worst it could be, the writers throw season 3 at ya. Where you want to kill yourself just so you don't have to be around to witness how they butcher all the characters and bring one silly blonde to the forefront and give her silly illogical story lines that will make you want to scream and question your own sanity. Watch the competent writers destroy yet another DC Super Villain and blatantly steal stories from Batman, literally the stuff that happens to Batman happens to this guy. Whereas in Batman you feel he is worthy, whereas you just want to chuck your remote at this guy.
So my advice, watch Season One and suffer through Season Two, then play Russian Roulette, if you survive then watch Daredevil instead.
The Flash (2014)
Best Superhero Show on TV right now!!!
You've read the comics. You've seen the cheesy 1990 version. Now brace yourself, for the best comic book adaptation of a founding member of the Justice League you will ever see on television.
Meet Barry Allen, a nerd-linger who's always late to everything and has more anxiety than a teenage girl during a class presentation. He appears to be a normal nerdy dork who works in a forensics lab (naturally) His life began with tragedy when his mother was murdered by someone or something when he was just a child, the cops being the predictable idiots that they are decided to arrest his father. Now he's all grown up and actively trying to find his mothers killer, to exonerate his dad.
He is suddenly hit by a bolt of lightening transforming him into the impossible.
Now watch this ex glee geek Super Speedster fight crime, by running, running faster, and then running even faster than that.
Brought to you by the good writers who left Arrow (leaving it in the hands of a teenage fan girl in the body of a 40 year old) but then consequentially it's on the CW so expect teenage ANGST! and love triangles, and a love interest who leads him on but also has feelings for some other poor sod.
Expect sparks, literally while he runs around Central City catching criminals with the help of his sidekicks and the mysterious (and amazing) Dr Harrison Wells.
With just the right amount of humour, drama and action you won't be disappointed with this newest addition to DC's TV universe.
