The Best DC film in a long time
6 August 2021
"RATS ARE THE MOST DESPISED AND LOWLIEST OF ALL CREATURES. IF THEY HAVE PURPOSE, SO DO WE ALL."

There were 17 members of the Suicide Squad, only a few survives. And they die in a really gory and gruesome way. This movie is awesome due to its peculiarity. It's rated R. There is no superhero action movie with this much comedy and blood. And James Gunn managed to blend the comedy and gruesomeness perfectly. He also divided the movie into chapters for people to easily understand. They didn't waste time on introducing new characters because they were going to get axed out. And add the background music, and turn this peculiarity into masterpiece. It's one of the best DC films after a long time. The CGI was decent, the hiliarosity was not forced at all and maintained the character connection throughout the whole movie. However, from the understanding, there is little chance of a sequel from this movie with this mindset, which is a little disappointing. But this movie is great and I recommend everyone should watch it.

Better than the first part but action is still missing
29 July 2021
SOMETIMES ALL IT TAKES TO GET OUT OF A BAD SITUATION IS A GOOD FLIP OF THE COIN

This movie is freaking awesome. The animation was good enough. The run time was decent. The dialogue game was top notch. Some of the dialogue gave me chills. We also saw how it's hard for someone to stay on the good side of justice and how one mistake colors someone and neglects all the other good work someone has done. The ending was not comic accurate but it was decent. Though the ending did not satisfy me. I had a lot of questions. The fighting scenes were not good. Some of the characters were not used nicely. Some characters' behaviors were changed. But still this movie is one of the top 5 best batman movies of all time. Warner Bros should learn from these kinds and apply them to their live action big budget flicks. Everybody should watch this and the part 1 of this series.

In the end I loved the movie. Though the movie had some issues with its animation and the fight scenes were not good and some characters were not utilized enough. The story and dialogue was good enough to make fall in love with the movie.

Personal Review: 8.5/10.

Black Widow (2021)
7/10
An expensive homage
10 July 2021
Black Widow Movie Review ALMOST NO SPOILER

THIS IS A James Bond ESQUE ESPIONAGE THRILLER WITH FAMILY TWIST. This movie is directed by Cate Shortland. It has Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff, Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, Rachel Weisz as Melina Vostokoff, David Harbour as Alexei Shostak, Ray Winstone as Dreykov and Olga Kurylenko as Taskmaster.

The movie is a prequel to the story of Natasha Romanoff of the time between the movie Captain America: Civil War and Avengers Infinity War. The movie shows her past activities and her relation to the Red Room fellows and her "family"

This movie is overhyped unnecessarily. An expensive homage to a character that could've been rectified in the Endgame. But they did not. This being a MCU movie will have dramatic showing of how women are underestimated and traumatized in the world. However this movie also shows the MCU definition of family where anybody could be family who is worth fighting for. The story was so predictable that what I imagined came to be true with a little very twist. The family was created for accomplishing a task and after the task the family was broken and they were punished in a different way than regular way. But defeating all odds, the family got together and defeated their boss. This is what happened but with all the action shenanigans and drama bits. What disappointed me was the real face of Taskmaster. They pulled another Wanda Vision scheme for Taskmaster. However I have to appraise the opening credits which is one of the best if not one of the best opening scenes of MCU. The action was excellent. And the end credits were very important for future of MCU.

Black Widow is a shakeup in the Marvel slate. It's more of a spy thriller than a superhero movie and another proof that anything is possible with family. The actions were super synchronized and awesome. However it struggles to strike a balance between family and drama. But Natasha got a befitting end for her story.

The long awaited sequel is uh... okay

The Boss Baby 2: Family Business Movie Review

The sequel to one of the best animated movies was worth it. The movie was directed by Tom McGrath. It stars Alec Baldwin as Ted, James Marsden as Tim, Amy Sedaris as Tina, Ariana Greenblatt as Tabitha, Jeff Goldblum as Armstrong, additional cast is Jimmy Kemmel and Lisa Kudrow as Grandpa and Grandma Templeton respectively. The music is done by Oscar winner Hans Zimmer.

The movie is back after the first hit film and 4 seasons of Netflix series, the sequel is released and boy it astonished me. The only problem of the movie is that it continued from the series instead of the first movie. In the movie, Tim and Ted are de-aged to infiltrate a super school whose main goal is to make the parents the slaves of the babies. A lot of plot details were followed from the series instead of the movie. (I NEVER WATCHED THE SERIES THOUGH). Like what happened between Ted and Tim. Then when he got married and how the children came. They were apparently part of the 4 season series in Netflix. Other than that the whole movie is very good. The cast was awesome. Tina as next Boss Baby is though lacking the coolness of the Ted in that position. Like all kids movies, a lot of things haven't made sense, but after all, this movie was made for kids, so I have no grudge. What they absolutely nailed was the music. Hans Zimmer is the best. And Ariana Greenblatt as Tabitha was so beautiful. If you watched the first movie, you should definitely watch this movie.

The movie delivers its cheesiness and it is full of clever jokes and action. The movie is cutely creepy which is what I expected. This movie also explores a very important family relation which is disappearing now is brotherhood in adult. It nailed in case of explaining what we have to cope up to maintain brotherhood during adult period. This movie is must watch for everybody who wants to experience a good time with their family.

Funny but copied and similar to the first movie

The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard Movie Review

ALMOST NO SPOILERS. Same story, same plot, same actors but a new look, yet imaginably funny. The movie was directed by Patrick Hughes. The cast is unbelievable, Ryan Reynolds as Michael Bryce, Samuel L. Jackson, Salma Hayek as Sonia Kincaid, Morgan Freeman as Michael Bryce Sr. And Antonio Banderas as Aristotle Papdopolous.

The movie is the sequel of 2017 super hit The Hitman's Bodyguard which earned $270 million with only $68 million budget. The movie continues from the first one where Michael is having a depression over loosing his AAA license of bodyguarding. Sonia and Darius wanted to have a baby but Aristotle who was a Greek billionaire wanted to put his country in the top of European powers by destroying all other European countries by creating a data hierarchy. That's were Michael, Darius and Sonia come in.

One thing I have to admit, this is the best if not one of the best comedy movie in 2021. Jackson as Darius is just mind boggling. There are more than a hundred WTF moments in the movie and Ryan Reynolds is the icing in the cake. There are some cringes between Michael and Sonia which is laughable. Salma as Sonia is astonishing. I was disappointed when Sonia was not used as much as in the first movie. I was surprised by her take on the sequel. The filming locations were all around Europe and it was beautiful. The action sequences were all Michal Bay esque with explosions and body counts all over the place. However the movie is exactly similar to the first movie. A super powerful person wants to be in power of his country and a bodyguard is forced to work with a hitman to save Europe. Antonio Banderas was not used in this movie as I was expecting. Morgan Freeman is just another celebrity cameo in this. The CGI was just bad. The explosions which were hard to shoot were just cartoons and the helicopter rides were full on cartoons which I really hated since it was having over $90 million dollars in budget. The story was copied and original.

This movie is super funny. But the plot is extremely boring and predictable. Characters were underused. However this is a star packed comedy where the stars were brilliant in their acting and you should watch the movie.

The movie which was fine without a sequel

Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway Movie Review

Peter rabbit is an half cgi/real life family movie. The sequel to the movie no body wanted Like all cgi movies, they have an awesome cast. James Corden as Peter, Margot Robbie as Flopsy, Elizabeth Debicki as Mopsy, Daisy Ridley as Cottontail rabbit, and Colin Moody as Benjamin. The male protagonist is played by Domnhall Gleeson while his counterpart is Rose Bryne. The movie is directed by Will Gluck.

There are some movies that never should have sequel. This is one of them. I never expected it to be mind-blowing. I watched the first one to be a family fun time which it excelled at. I think that the story should've ended by that movie. Unfortunately, since the movie was worldwide hit, the producers jumped on the wagon of money making sequel. I never thought what the sequel would be, they did OKAY. The movie was nowhere close as the first one. The movie continues where Bea and McGregor got married. McGregor and Peter were on good terms. But McGregor still had some grudge against Peter. He wanted a real family, but Peter was thorn in his way. On the other side Bea started to write a book about the first movie story, which was picked by a famous publisher Nigel which was played by David Oyelowo. Nigel also considered Peter a brat. So the Peter went out the way, pushed everyone away to prove himself that he was the story of the movie. And the story continues and provides us with many different learnings that a kids movie should have.

The fans of Peter Rabbit book will hate the movie cause the movie squeezes out of the characters from the book and creates a story out of nowhere. The first one was fun and worthy of watching. The second one is mixed bag. I think they should just stop here. But they already confirmed a third movie is in the works. I am gonna recommend you should watch the movie if you just want to have some fun. But if you are wanting a worthy successor, just leave it.

Luca (2021)
8/10
The animation is stellar as always. The cast is okay.
21 June 2021
LUCA: MOVIE REVIEW

Luca is an animated movie by Pixar Studios under Disney.

The animation is stellar as always. The cast is okay.

The story is about some sea monsters who can turn to humans when not in contact with water. Among them Luca and Alberto are two friends. Luca is scared of the human world but Alberto isn't. But both have the same dream. To go to different places in the world with a Vespa.(Vespa are one of the best scooter makers in the world and they are one of the originals). But they didn't have the money. So they went to the human world where they met Giulia. And the story continues on how they become friends and win the competition.

Pixar makes the best animated movies in the world. The level of detail and sense is Bellissimo. Though this is an italian movie. The cast struggled in italian accent. One time they were speaking in italian accent and other time they were in American accent. But the story is awesome. It proves that you shouldn't be scared of what you are be proud of yourself. It also heavily focuses on the value of friendship and sacrifices which is a common theme for Pixar movies. It's not as good as the previous Pixar movie Soul. But definitely a good movie. In fact its am awesome movie. It's a must watch for everybody.

Lupin (2021– )
9/10
The front runner for one of the best detective based shows of 2021.
18 June 2021
This is the first French show that caught my mind. Netflix has produced by a banger. This show takes its inspiration from Sherlock Holmes and Money Heist. Omar Sy is a great as always. It's one of the best adaptations I have ever seen. I hope that they take the series and extend the plot. A must watch for everyone.
