Stephen King's It (2017) Review

Review Stephen King's It.

           I thought the movie was good, but it serves more of a coming-of-age story comedy than a horror film. The film itself was not scary, but it was entertaining. I really loved the character development of the young children and how it builds on with a great chemistry between each character. The acting was just phenomenal with such emotional range. The film does suffer from a very slow pace and over-reliance on CGI effects. I like the film but its like another version of Stephen King's Stand By Me lacking the horror element. The film is unlikely to eclipse anyone’s memories of the 1990 Tim Curry-starring TV version. The film is a great coming-of-age story, but not successful on the horror element of the source material. I will give it a B. I hope It chapter two is way better.

          Justice League Starring Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, Ezra Miller, and Jason Momoa. I thought the film was fun and very entertaining. The film does have its flaws but it was a great movie. The film does suffer from a incoherent storyline. The film felt very short but it was a great spectacle of a superhero movie.

The film was stylish with amazing action packed sequences from beginning to end. I thought it was a great movie but its not a perfect film. I will give the film an A-.

Star Wars The Last Jedi Review

Review Star Wars The Last Jedi.
    The film was decent but it still lack originality. The film suffers from a thin plot with a storyline that has to much incohesive subplots. The film was overlong and they should have deleted the whole Benicio Del Toro subplot. The film didn't offer anything new to the table but just nostalgic moments from the original trilogy. The film was fun and enjoyable. It has tons of awesome action sequences. It was just a decent film. I will give it a C.

Lady Bird Review.

Lady Bird Review
    Lady Bird Starring Saoirse Ronan and Laurie Metcalf. The film is a sweet and very emotional coming of age story. This film demonstrates self-awareness and a constant reminder of its main subjects, this teenage drama offers a lot of what teenagers go through in their adolescence. The film itself is not original and it feels very pretentious. Greta Gerwig directed and wrote the screenplay with such honesty and authenticity that made this film such a great exploration of teenage self discovery. Saoirse Ronan gave an excellent and compelling performance as the lead with an emotional grace. Laurie Matcalf is amazing in her performance in the film. The film is witty and organic with such realism. the film does fall short with a storyline that is unoriginal, but its very entertaining. I will give it an B+.

I, Tonya Review

I, Tonya Review
     I, Tonya Starring Margot Robbie, Sebastian Stan and Academy Award Winner Allison Janney. I thought the film was a very great dark comedy about the different point of views surrounding the true life story of Tonya Harding. The film is very entertaining with a funny tone of a narrative. The film script and dialogue was written with such intensity and strength that makes this biopic brilliantly captivating. The film also has a fierce and commanding performances by Margot Robbie and Allison Janney. This film does an incredible job telling the story of this tragic hero and turns it into heartbreaking tribute. I really enjoyed this film with excellent direction. I will give this film an A.

Beauty and the Beast Review

Review Beauty and the Beast (2017).

   Beauty and the Beast (2017) starring Emma Watson, Dan Stevens and Luke Evans.The film was beautiful and enchanting. The musical numbers were well choreographed with very magical visual effects. The film was very entertaining, even adding more characters development and backstory to the characters. The beloved songs of this classic tale were very well executed and song beautifully by the actors. The cast of the film were cast perfectly in this film. The solo song added for the Beast called "Evermore" is positively beautiful and is extremely well done. Yes the film does have its flaws, but I loved it. I will give it an A.

Get Out Review

Review of Get Out
   This film was amazing and though-provoking about social paranoia and racial tension in America. It was perfectly well structured and very well written. the film was very intense but it has you laughing and scared at the same time. The film is like The Stepford Wives meets The skeleton Key. The film features two great performances from Kaluuya and Williams, which were amazingly well done. The directorial debut of Jordan Peele made this film with such wit, fun and though-provoking horror comedy. Get Out's white house might just be crazier than Donald Trump. I will give it an A.

Life Review

Review of Life Starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Ryan Reynolds.
   The film was very thrilling and fun with amazing special effects. The film is perfectly well acted. The film does suffers from a formulaic and very cliche story line, but the film was actually very well done. Yes the film plays homage to the film Alien, but on its own terms the film offers an amazing twisted ending that you dont see coming. I will give it an A-.

Power Rangers (2017) Review

Power Rangers Movie (2017)
   The film was fun and enjoyable, but it takes too long to get to the action sequences. The film focuses way to much on the backstory of the characters and the origin story. I thought it was a very cheap imitation of the best movie ever The Breakfast Club. It takes forever for the teens to make there way to the power rangers headquarters where they are welcomed and trained by Alpha 5 and Zordon. the last 15 mins of the films 2 hour running time, is when you get to see them in their awesome high tech power rangers suit and the actual action sequences start. It was a fun and enjoyable film. I will give it a C+.

Deadpool Review

The film is completely over the top and brutal in a fun and very tasteful way. Ryan Reynolds was amazing as Wade aka Deadpool, His acting was in sync with his comedic timing. The film has exciting and very colorful special effects. The film is full of violence with plenty of laughs. I will give the film an A.

La La Land Review

 ***** Full Review La La Land *****

La La Land starring Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone was pure magic and entertaining. I thought the film was very predictable and cliche. Once again it shows how excellent the chemistry between Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone are together, which made the film watchable. For a musical, there was not enough musical numbers on the film. The musical numbers that were in the film were originally beautiful and magical. The script and dialogue on the film was written beautifully, but it was very predictable and formulaic story that as nothing new to offer. I will give it an B.

Patriot's Day Review

 ***** Patriots Day Full Movie Review *****

Patriots Day starring Mark Walhberg and Kevin Bacon. The film was very inspirational and very powerful film of this year. The acting was incredible and sensational, specially Mark Walhberg in his best performance of his whole career. I like how the film showed scenes of the real event mixed with the film itself. It made the film more real and had a great emotional impact. It was a great film about everyone coming together and staying strong from a traumatic and painful event. I will give it an A. I recommend everyone to watch this amazing story about the human spirit and courageous people.

Suicide Squad Review

 **** Full Review Suicide Squad ****

 Suicide Squad Starring Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Jared Leto and Viola Davis. I thought the film was fun and stylish. The film did lack in the plotline department. The film did not have a plot, but it did have great character development. The film suffered greatly because it did not have a strong villain to go against the anti-heroes. The film has amazing and spectacular action sequences and high quality special effects. The acting was top notch specially from Margot Robbie who was an standout and sexy as Harley Quinn. Will Smith was great in his performance as deadshot. Jared Leto gave a good performance as the Joker, but I felt his appearance resembles as a hoodlum cholo not The Joker. The rest of the cast were amazing as well. I will give it B.

Batman Vs Superman Dawn of Justice Review

 **** Full Review of Batman Vs Superman Dawn of Justice ****

Batman vs Superman : Dawn of Justice Starring Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, and Gal Gadot. I strongly believe the film was an amazing movie. The acting was top notch specially Ben Affleck as Batman. Affleck was incredible and showed such raw emotions. Affleck portrayal was way better than Christian Bale's Batman. Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman was a fantastic portrayal and she totally kicked ass. Henry Cavill was exceptional and very physically in tune as Superman. The action sequences was very well executed and well choreographed. The film was just awesome and very entertaining. The fighting scenes between Batman and Superman was fantastic and epic specially when all three super heroes came together to fight the mighty Doomsday was excellent. Yes the film does have its flaws like the script had a few plot holes and the editing process was rushed. It was an amazing experience and I will give it an A-.

Jurassic World Review

 *** Jurassic World Review ***

Jurassic World Starring Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard. The film was amazing and very beautiful film. it was extremely entertaining and fun. The film is no way compare to the original movie, but its the best sequel. Its very nostalgic that it takes you back to the original movie. The special effects were amazing capturing the essence of the dinosaurs quite well. Its has tons of action and more dinosaur adventures. The acting was decent and the jokes were totally flat. the film does have a few flaws like a few plot holes and the film was very cliche. The characters in the film were one dimensional with no character development. It a must see and I will give it B+.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Review.

*** The Amazing Spiderman 2 Review *** Full Review

I thought the movie was decent but not as great as I thought it would be. It had its good parts and its bad parts. I still thought it was an improvement over the original The Amazing Spider-rman. I really enjoyed the powerful chemistry between Andrew Garfield and the sexy Emma Stone. The storyline of the film felt very weak with tons of characters clustered in the whole movie. I did not like how they still continued with the whole thing about what happened to peter's parents they died get over it. I did not think it was a good move and the right moment to kill off a major character that makes the movie work so well with there presence. The film was still entertaining and it had good fighting action sequences. I thought the special and visual effects were totally amazing. I still felt the script and dialogue was very lazy and it suffers from an unfocused narrative. Since the plot is so by the numbers, the film has no intrigue or urgency and as a result, almost every scene feels overlong and unnecessary. I really enjoyed the performances by Emma Stone and Dane DeHaan. DeHaan has a kind of evil intensity about him that makes him perfect for the role of the green goblin. Emma Stone was outstanding as Gwen Stacy, she has this power presence that makes the film way better. Andrew Garfield was ok as Spider-Man, but I still feel he was miscast in the role. Jamie Foxx as Max Dillon / Electro, His character is such a cookie cutter copy version of Jim Carrey's Edward Nygma/The Riddler in Batman Forever. Joxx's acting in the film was not that great. The film was very formulaic, but at least the film does have that edgier tone and dives deeper into the origin. I still think the jokes in this film are very flat and not funny at all. I will give it B.

Man of Steel Review

*** Man of Steel Review ***

Man of Steel Starring Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Kevin Costner , Diane Lane, Michael Shannon, and Russell Crowe as Jor-El. The film was an awesome movie and I really enjoyed how freshly original it was. I really enjoyed how they concentrated on Clark Kent/Superman personal and emotion growth more than the romance between Superman and Lois Lane. I thought the film was very raw, gritty, and it's one of the most realistic comic book films ever made. The film was darker, more confident and more character driven piece than expected. The script and dialogue by David S. Goyer and Christopher Nolan manages to take an all-too familiar story (the script is a combination of the first two Donner Superman movies) and tell it with emotional depth, subtle humor, and with enough variables changed around that prevents it from feeling like a dull film. The script and dialogue did had a few flaws specially when we get into the climactic battles, third act of the action and fighting sequences were stretched too long. The film has a big problem of pacing. Director, Zack Snyder crafted an extraordinary masterpiece with gorgeous action sequences that is shining with a Terence Malick-type of art-house quality. Snyder also proves to be the perfect choice to direct the epic-scale visceral action that was severely lacking in the 2006 'Superman Returns'. Henry Cavill steps into the cape as the Man of Steel and he was an absolute revelation in the part. Cavill does a great job in balancing raw charm and unflinching sincerity while also convincingly selling a younger more uncertain Clark Kent who is just beginning to realize his calling as a superhero. Amy Adams was delightful and fantastic as Lois Lane and it was great to see her become a more active character in the plot (aside from being the damsel in distress). Kevin Costner and Diane Lane gave such strength and heart to their characters and delivered wonderful performances. Russell Crowe was excellent, he has more screen time than you expect and leaves a strong impression. Michael Shannon was incredible, his interpretation of General Zod was just fearless. The special and visual effects are amazing and astounding, which makes it feels real and such an eye candy experience. The action sequences are immaculate and well choreographed. But, they were just stretched way to long for the screen time of the film. I thought that the film provides a successful and refreshing reboot to a franchise that was in desperate need of it after the disaster of 2006 'Superman Returns’. The film was a powerful and entertaining rebirth of the American icon that has been clearly made with complete care to the source material and as a film as well. I will give this film an A-.

The Conjuring Review

*** The Conjuring Review ***

The Conjuring Starring Patrick Wilson, Vera Farmiga, Ron Livingston and Lili Taylor. The film was very intense and very scary. The film takes its time to build up tension; therefore it's more harrowing, because you don't know when the scares will start. Everything in the film was unpredictable. While it is not the scariest movie in recent memory, the scares themselves are well-crafted, and smartly delivered, and incredibly effective. The best part about them was that they are old-schooled crafted where CGI has little or nothing to do with them. The events, for the most part, was well made that it is almost impossible to find the computer made scares. While the scares are effective and realistically made, the creepy atmosphere is where the movie really shines. The creepiness of this movie is fantastic as there are numerous scenes where you cannot help but shudder. The script and dialogue by Chad and Carey Hayes was perfectly well written and who show off their skill at setting up scares and delivering increasingly suspenseful scenes. The plot was perfectly well constructed and the film boasts a powerful and tense atmosphere that will chill and terrify you. The Director James Wan did another amazing job and the fact that he can craft a truly intense and creepy ghost tale. The acting on this film was very strong and convincingly well acted. The film uses a unique framing to create tension, with creative camera angles and shots that don't feel gimmicky, rather fresh and often ingenious. The cinematography is both beautiful but is also a classical throw-back. The film really does feel like its setting, that of the late 60s. I will give this film an A.

The Heat Review

*** The Heat Review ***

The Heat Starring Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy. I thought the film was hilariously laugh out loud funny film. I thought that Bullock and McCarthy have terrific chemistry and elevate the simple-minded material with their riffing and adept physical comedy. The film does have a few flaws mainly in the script and dialogue which relies on the same type of buddy cop dynamic and clichés that have been done hundreds of times before. But despite similarities and an overdone plot, it's still a very funny movie. Surprisingly, there are also a few twists in the film that few will see coming. The main reason the film was awesome was because of Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy made this movie better than it should be. The action and fighting sequences were very well done and very well choreographed. The talents of director Paul Feig, who we know is highly capable of showing the intricacies of female relationships from his other film, 'Bridesmaids' and he knows funny, and he gives his actors plenty of room to work and improv time to knock back shots, bust a move and beat up men . The film has no claims on sophistication or originality, but it includes perhaps a never seen level of absurdity and joyful sense of naughtiness. I just thought it was simply hilarious, very enjoyable and surprisingly witty lines. I will give this film a B+.
