'Thor: Ragnarok' Review: The funniest marvel film to date!


Last night I went and watched Thor and his team of revengers as they try to save Asgard from Ragnarok! And, holy shit it was bloody epic, like Hulk raging fire epic, like poor dead Doug epic, like the Lord of thunder epic...

There were so many wonderful things about this film, so, first and foremost I have to thank Taika Waititi for bringing us a Thor film that we have all been revelling to see, a Thor film that is worthy!

The cast were all exceptional, Cate Blanchett was terrific as the goddess of death, Hela, I wasn't to sure on her at first but wow did she nail it. Chris Hemsworthy (pardon the pun) was the funniest he has ever been, Tom Hiddleston was brilliant yet again as the mischievous keniving Loki. I think Hulk had a bigger talking role than Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) in this one, and it was so freaking funny. Karl Urban, Jeff Goldbloom and Tessa Thompson We're all brilliant new additions to the flick, but, the unsung hero who had me in stitches every single time was (funnily enough) the director himself as the terrific (perishable rock guy who's trying to start a revolution), Korg, he was so funny. Also look out for the magical scene with Doctor Strange!

From start till finish I was thoroughly entertained, it has been a while since Marvel have made a movie so outrageously funny, if I wasn't laughing I was completely enthralled by the story telling and the action. The special effects, sound and visual we're first-rate, the soundtracks, dialogue, cameos and pretty much everything we're perfect. This for me has definetly made it in my Top 3 marvel films ever and I pray that Mr. Waititi gets another go at the helm of another Marvel film.

Paul Thomas Anderson Week: 'There Will Be Blood' Review!

• There Will Be Blood, 2007 • 8.2/10 • Firstly, I would like to start with Daniel Day Lewis' mesmerizing performance as the ruthless oil prospector, Daniel Plainview. The scumbag cons local landowners into selling their valuable land for pittance, and then he comes along like a "straw" and "sucks it all up," leaving him very wealthy and everyone else in his way. Paul Dano, Wow, do you really expect anything less than magic when it comes to him acting, he's a true tour de force. I wish we had preachers like Eli Sunday up at my local church. Johnny Greenwood's score is brilliant, it really gets under your skin, you then combine that with the gorgeous cinematography, smart screenplay and the brilliant acting, you then have yourself a film where even if your not paying complete attention, you will still hate the lead by the end, all the same! Yeah, I did just say that. I'm sorry peeps but it got a little boring at times (it didn't keep me hook

'Tomb Raider' Review: First Successful Game Adaptation! Kudos!

Image
• Tomb Raider, 2018 • 7.9/10 • Alicia Vikander gives Lara depth and personality much like Harrison Ford's Indiana Jones. She's vulnerable, but she's also stubborn and focused to survive on her own and has never lost hope that she'll once again see her father. The story is built on the reboot of the video game series, but takes another way after the arrival at the destination where most of the action takes place. When the story follows the video game it has weaknesses (as so many games adaptations do), but when it stands on its own, it shows glimpses of coming adventures for Lara Croft that makes you want more -- much because of Vikanders grounded performance. The script is by no means perfect, the CGI was a bit spotty in places, and yes there are a few cliches and overused story devices here and there, but overall it is an enjoyable film and our first successful game adaptation! Yesss! P.S - Dominc West was the perfect choice for Mr. Croft!

'Love, Simon' Review: What A Nice Surprise!

• Love, Simon • Spoiler-Free • 8.7/10 • Well, what a surprise.... Don't get me wrong, the story of 'Love, Simon' has pretty much all been done before, just not executed as well. Bar the classic stereotypes and some cheesy moments, this film had me laughing out loud and crying even louder! Tbh when you watch a film like this, you normally expect it to try to be, too clever, too cute and too precious, but boy I have never been so far off the mark. The intelligence, depth, and charm were all legitimate and sincere here and it truly made the film into something rather special. It's funny, sweet, caring, true, real, and should pretty much be labelled a "True Story" for all its worth. The acting on all accounts was second-to-none but Josh Duhamel had the biggest tear-jerking scene going! I was sobbing like a real man! And Nick Robinson was believable and nothing short of phenomenal! Kudos! If you can get past the cheese-factor, you will definetly Love,
