Eternals Review

Image
It's not as bad as the critics make it to be. Actually Eternals was probably the most unique and freshest installment in the MCU yet, with the whole film feels like a Zack Snyder film instead of another MCU film.  I respect and like the fact that the story, the tone, characterisation, and underlying moral and philosophy questions are different than what we used to get from a MCU movie. Plus, this being a film from Chloe Zhao, the cinematography and the visual effects were fresh and outstanding. With that being said, the fact that it's being the most challenging and ambitious MCU film is also the reason for it's flaws. The pacings were off at times and the story got messy on the second and third parts. And to be honest, I think the Eternals line up is just too many. It will be better if they only focus on 5 or 6 Eternals instead of 10. Still, I respect the different route that it takes and the fact that at least it makes me feel that there could be new things to anticipate f

Hawkeye Review

  It might seems like it's not that of a massive scale or it can cause important consequences in MCU like Loki or Falcon & Winter Soldier , but I like Hawkeye for it's heartwarming Christmas story and the fact that it served as a good Kate Bishop's origin story. But at this point, it already felt like there's just a bit too many releases of MCU content in 2021 that one may wonder do we even need this. 6/10

Ant-Man and The Wasp Review : One of the Lows of MCU Phase 3

Image
It was a light, fun entrance in MCU that was good, especially after we had been served with the momentous Avengers: Infinity War. The first Ant-Man movie is one of my top 10 MCU movies and Scott Lang's addition in the MCU was very well accepted by the fans as he was just a nice and decent guy who just want to did his best for his daughter. Comparing Scott to other big names of MCU like Tony Stark or Steve Rogers; a genius billionaire playboy and a stoic ripped super old war veteran, those are characters too big to be relatable to audience; the everyday's people and this is what makes Scott Lang stands out against them in this regards - relatibility. Ant-Man and The Wasp delivered as well as the first movie. In this one, relationship between Scott and Hope and the Scott-Pym-Hope dynamic were explored further, with the introduction of new characters; Janet van Dyne and the Ghost, Ava. The main plot is basically to rescue Janet from the Quantum Realm as they are against

Avengers: Infinity War Review - A Monumental Achievement By Marvel

Admittedly, this took me a while. Being busy and lack of motivation to write were factors to be fault. But here we go. So, my most hyped and anticipated film of 2018, does it deliver? Oh boy, yes it did, and exceptionally well. Now, I had watched Avengers: Infinity War (AIW) a total of three times in the cinema, as I was mindblowned by it after the first watching, and the second and third watchings were complimentary to the experience. In short, Marvel (read: Russo brothers) delivered on all their promises - a satisfying climax to Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), a cohesive and tight story telling, a balanced story and sharing of screentime of casts with it being the most casts-crowded movie of all time, a nerve-jerking film that ends leaving you wanting for more, and definitely, a monumental mark in the superhero movies genre. The most casts in a movie ever. Too many praises? Let me break it down one by one. First of all, as we know, AIW was considered as the climax

Countdown to Avengers: Infinity War

    It went without saying that this year's most anticipated movie is none other than Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War . Thanos is finally here and all our heroes are assembling to beat him down. I, myself, just like millions of people around the world, comic book movie lovers or non, am having such a big anticipation towards the premiere night of this movie. It says 27th of April but thank God I already booked my ticket on 26th. Gonna watch it in IMAX 3D, the best treatment a movie watching experience can get. The last time I watched a movie on this format is for Star Wars: The Last Jedi . Talking about Infinity War itself, what I am anticipating the most to see in this movie is how the Russo brothers, the directors, are going to play around with the huge amount of casts in regards of the storytelling. For sure, not all characters are going to get huge amount of spotlight in this movie. The Guardians of The Galaxy gang, for an example, I bet would have an important role
