Over The Years D.C Have Been Up And Down More Times Than I Can Remember: Here's The Best And Worst Of Them All!


D.C are always so hit and miss. The last decent run of films was 'The Dark Knight' trilogy, since then it's pretty much been a shambles (bar the exception of 'Wonder Woman') and I am almost certain that it's due to there rushed antics in the studio. For one, It feels like every time Marvel release a film (and it does well) there schedule suddenly gets pushed forward and dates of films change. Look at 'Justice League,' that's a prime example of what not to do in filmmaking, especially at that calibre, it was sooo rushed and it really showed in parts. Wonder Woman was by no means "a perfect film," but they took time with it, nurtured it and brought Wonder Woman back to life and that showed and then just as that hope twinkles, BAM! They bring out Justice League. D.C have always been in the shadows of Marvel and it feels as if they try to hard to be them instead of being D.C, the worse thing is, they actually have so many great characters and comics, Marvel literally stole several character from them, so come on guys, take your time go back to the roots and give Nolan a call.

So on that note, here's a list of all D.C films (in order) that I have watched:

The League:

1) The Dark knight (2008) - 10/10
2) Batman Begins (2005) - 9.5/10
3) The Dark Knight Rises (2012) - 9.3/10
4) Man Of Steel (2013) - 8.8/10
5) Wonder Woman (2017) - 8.5/10
6) Justice League (2017) - 6/10
7) Batman Vs Superman (2016) - 5.5/10
8) Green Lantern (2011) - 4/10
9) Suicide Squad (2016) - 3.5/10
10) Catwoman (2004) - 1/10

The Kryptonian:

1) Superman: The Movie (1978) - 8.3/10
2) Superman 2 (1980) - 8/10
3) Superman Returns (2006) - 7.3/10
4) Superman 3 (1983) - 6.8/10
5) Superman 4: The Quest For Peace (1987) - 6/10

The Randoms:

1) V For Vendetta (2005) - 7.8/10
2) Watchmen (2009) - 7.2/10
3) The Losers (2010) - 7/10
4) Jonah Hex (2010) - 3/10

Wow, looking back at some of these films like Catwoman, Green Lantern and Jonah Hex, what a mess a bloody mess!

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!

• 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,
