Captain America Review

  Cult classic. Got to love the part when Matt Salinger's Captain America made a thumbs up to the President with that weird smile with his tongue out. 3/10

Hulk Review

Image
  There are bad movies that are so bad they become fun to watch. At least they're fun and campy. And Hulk was a bad movie that's bad and boring. The first 45 minutes can be trimmed way shorter and the whole movie was just draggy. This version of Hulk was also the fattest and most childish one. I prefer 2008's The Incredible Hulk way more. 4/10

Elektra Review

Image
  Another one of Marvel's bad movies of the 00s. Well, at least the pacing wasn't slow and it feels like a B-film action movie. And you got Jennifer Garner in hot red costume so yeah. But still, the special effects, the extra characters, man.. it's just bad. 4/10 

Howard The Duck Review (?)

Image
  Cult classic campy cheesy movie.  The worst movie ever made. George Lucas made this. The FIRST Marvel movie. So many attributes to this movie and it's so bad that it's so good is what making this as one of the movies you gotta watch before you die. p/s: Now that the multiverse is established in MCU, this is technically the first Marvel movie to be canon or adjacent to the MCU, and not Spider-Man . 3/10

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

Deadpool 2 Review : A Mediocre Sequel That Could've Be Better

Image
It's definitely bigger and more explosive than it's predecessor. But bigger doesn't mean better. A lot of jokes, including the meta ones, feels either out of place, too long or just not funny.  Plus there's too many characters, including new ones, and few story plots that make the movie a bit messy. Loud and explosive, but at the same time annoying and off-putting. It basically suffers from the sequel syndrome, like Iron Man 2, Avengers: Age of Ultron and Guardians of The Galaxy 2. Too bad because I really like the first one and Deadpool 2 actually got potentials, just that it was executed badly.  6/10

Avengers: Infinity War Review - A Monumental Achievement By Marvel

Image
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
