The Creator (2023)

Amazing Graphics and Enjoyable!
7 October 2023
It was so nice for a change to go watch a movie at the cinema that wasn't Marvel or DC related! Went into this film with very little expectations and I am glad to say it turned out well for me as I really enjoyed this movie.

Although it's not anywhere near a 'masterpiece', it still provided strong relationships between characters, fantastic visual effects, and a realistic view of what things could look like in the distance future with AI.

This film deserves more credit and talk than it is currently getting at the moment. This offers you something completely different to what you normally would watch at the cinema so I plead to everyone to go give it a watch if you fancy watching something truly unique and entertaining.

Visually: 10/10. Story/Plot: 4/10. Strong 7/10 for me.
17 December 2022
I have to say that is was worth seeing this movie on the big screen as visually, it was magnificent and I couldn't take my eyes off watching it. Possibly the best movie I have ever seen visually. Here comes the but...

But, where this movie excels visually, it has come up short in the story/plot. It just felt a bit repetitive and was too similar in a way to the first Avatar movie.

It felt that James Cameron's main focus was on making a near perfect movie visually but has unfortunately had a negative impact on the plot. Overall, it gave the movie a real unbalanced feel to it so I hope for Avatar 3 he can bring a stronger story/plot which will make it more unpredictable and enjoyable.

One final point I have to make. Why did they feel the need to have Sigourney Weaver play the voice of her daughter that is still a child? Everytime she spoke, it just didn't come across right at all. Why is a child talking like a 70 year old woman?! What benefit did they get from this seriously? What a strange decision. If you have a female child character then cast a child actress. Simple as that!

Success! Just wanted a tiny bit more for 10 stars
28 December 2021
I can definitely say I got everything I wanted from this movie. Spiderman has been my favourite superhero since I was a child so I had very high expectations for this movie.

I enjoyed every part of it and wanted more! Just felt it needed one more thing to get it to 10/10, but it was still a huge success and can't wait to see where it goes next!

Was Cage Trying to be British?!
8 June 2021
If that was Cages best attempt at an old fashion British accent then my god... his career really has gown down to a whole new level!

Simple action movie that had a simple & predictable plot. Nothing special and average at best.

Struggled to take this movie seriously at times with Cages dead awful British accent. Worst acting performance I have ever seen him perform!

Black Sails (2014–2017)

Pleasant Surprise After Slow Start!
28 October 2020
I started this series a few years ago but lost interest in Season 1. However, I decided to give it another go due to the positive reviews... man I am glad I did!

I really enjoyed the building of characters and how surprisingly clever they could be. There was a sense of maturity to it in terms of it being based on pirates which I really liked.

This is a real hidden gem and all I can say is if you start watching this, stick with it!

I thought they ended it well in Season 4 as you can get quite poor endings in other series.

Locke & Key (2020–2022)
4/10
Fantastic concept but awful execution!
22 February 2020
I really like the whole concept of the keys and what can be done with them. Such a shame that the episodes were so poorly written. Also, doesn't help that they have made the characters very unlikeable and it is hard to connect with any of them really. Would be surprised if a second season comes from this to be honest.

The idea is so good! Just needs better writing and casting!

Very Enjoyable! Very Creepy! Very Jumpy! Loved it!
8 September 2019
First of all, great casting for this movie! Loved how they were able to put across the same strong bond they had as children. The banter really shines through which made you laugh but care for them as they looked out for each other.

Pennywise looked fantastic and really put across that creepy fear! How he sways and manipulates kids to get close to him sends shivers down your spine!

I found it so clever how Pennywise used your fears against you and you have to overcome them. Although it was almost 3 hours long, I was stuck to the screen the entire time!

The friendship really shined through and in the end, that is what wins it for them.

Great remake on a horror classic!

Huge Improvement From First Spider Man!
5 July 2019
Warning: Spoilers
I really enjoyed this film! Very entertaining, funny and interesting. Found the whole illusion stuff very clever and it shows not all bad guys need to have some sort of super powers to be a good villian.

Also, I enjoyed the awkward moments between Peter Parker and MJ as it reflects how difficult it is these days to show your emotions and how you feel about people. We live in a reality of technology and social media that is having a terrible impact on how we all interact with each other in person.

Overall, very good installment and loved the end credit!

Man on Fire (2004)
10/10
Denzel is incredible! One of the most underrated films ever made!
16 June 2019
How is this films rated so badly by critics? I have seen this film 4 times now and every time I watch it, I realise more and more that is it an absolute classic! The way the film was made is so unique and I love how it has been edited to have this intense feel. The music was beautiful and the violent scenes were brutal!

The relationship between Denzel and the girl is so real and makes you see why Denzel did what he did. The acting is fantastic and would recommend this to anyone looking for something different to watch!

Denzel... best actor in the world hands down!

Wow! Now that is how you do a action movie!
19 May 2019
One of the best action films I have ever scene! Love the shooting scenes, love the fighting scenes and love the funny scenes which was a bonus! John Wick may not be as sharp as he was in his prime but he makes up for that with pure brutality and no mercy attitude to anyone that gets in his way! Best John Wick film out of the 3 and I can't wait to see Chapter 4!

Wow... just wow! What did I just watch!
28 April 2019
What an absolute emotional rollercoaster! There was never a dull moment and it was a 3 hour movie! Every character played their part and it came together beautifully! The fight scenes and graphics were incredible! What a great way to end it really.

The only little things that irritated me was that I was hoping the 'full' Hulk came to play as he is a lot more powerful than they portray him in the Marvel movies. Also... Captain Marvel comes across very arrogant and smug like 'yes we know... you are super powerful and you know it'. I know Iron Man is very arrogant as well but he makes it into a positive as its funny and likeable!

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this film and for all of you that haven't seen it yet... get the tissues ready!

Shazam! (2019)
6/10
Overated and average. Felt more like a PG movie!
7 April 2019
I don't understand the hype around this film? It was far from a bad movie but don't see how anyone can give this 9 or 10 stars? I found the action to be very repetitive and thought it needed more of an impact in terms of the execution of fight scenes.

I found the film to be aimed more at kids and family where I can see how they may find this film more appealing. However, in terms of everyone else, I think it misses the mark with the humour beeing very light and childish. I didn't find anything in the movie 'hilarious'.

Overall, not a bad execution of a DC Movie but this is not for everyone I am afraid. Easy film to watch but could have been better!

Best Action Show Ever Made! Jack Bauer Is Incredible!
10 March 2019
Thrilling, entertaining, tense, clever, unpredictable, should I go on?! This show has everything you want in a TV show! Fantastic plots, unpredictable twists and brutal action scenes. Jack Bauer is my hero and is the star of this show by miles! You get to the point in the series of who do you trust? I am very good at figuring out plots but this series keeps me guessing all the time. I can go on and on and on about this show. Just watch it and you will not regret it!

What did I just watch... thank god it was a short movie!
3 March 2019
Was this meant to be funny? If seemed very random and the characters seemed very irritating to be honest. Made no real sense ans the acting was poor. Why did Netflix purchase this film and why are there so many good reviews for this? Utter garbage really!

Best Mission Impossible since the first one!
2 March 2019
Very clever and great action! The fight scenes were so intense to the point I could feel every punch and kick! Henry Cavill played a good villain and Tom Cruise matched him... even though in real life I think Cruise would get crushed lol. Overall, very entertaining and look forward to the next one!

Bodyguard (2018)

Fantastic British Series! Had Me Gripped!
27 January 2019
Was recommended by friends to watch this and it surely lived up to the hype! Smart, intense and great writing! The thing I love about these kind of British Series is that they don't over dramatize things like American Series do. Great job BBC and I look forward to more series like this!

Dark, Chilling and Shocking! Great Documentary!
27 January 2019
This really takes you into the mind of a new kind of serial killer. He wasn't your typical rash and uneducated killer that would get caught straight away. He knew how to manipulate people and the system. Makes you think... if he had just avoided driving a car on both occasions he got caught... he would have been free much longer! Very sick mind and showed that it is possible to be crazy and intelligent at the same time. I only wish we caught have dived into his mind even more to learn how his mind worked and how we could avoid it ever happening again. If you like a good documentary then this is one to watch!

Forrest Gump (1994)
10/10
Absolute Joy To Watch! What A Journey! One Of The Best Movies Ever Made!
27 January 2019
I have seen the film so many times as it never seems to bore me. Tom Hanks pulls off an absolute masterclass of a performance and has you rooting for Forrest Gump through the entire movie! You don't get movies like this anymore... so unique and full of laughter. You are missing out if you haven't watched it!

The best follow up you could hope. Great movie!
27 January 2019
They were always going to struggle to out top the Dark Knight film with the Joker. But they pulled it off again with another fanatic Batman movie! If they had The Joker in this as originally planned then this could have been something really special!

Smallville (2001–2017)
10/10
All time favourite series! So addictive!
26 January 2019
Loved this series (except Season 4 as that was rubbish!). They did well to keep it going so long. Had a huge crush on Lana Lang but enjoyed the chemistry she had with Clark Kent. Great story lines and to this day... best Luther ever! The DC films seem to struggle to find a good Luther where Smallville got it spot on!

Another money grab! I actually fell asleep watching this movie!
26 January 2019
Some good action in this but other than that... it was just pretty useless and boring. How did this film get nominated for an Oscar? Getting fed up with these sequels and prequals that are being made to make money but are executed so poorly. I miss the lightsaber fights!!!

One of the best teen comedy movies I have ever seen. So funny and love Mclovin!
26 January 2019
Great teen movie and so funny! The characters really bounce off each other and they convince you that they are good friends. Love the 2 cops in it! Highly recommend this film if you are looking for a great comedy to watch!

One of the best films ever made! Has everything you want in a great film.
26 January 2019
Funny, happy, sad... Just a emotional rollercoaster! What a fantastic movie and what a performance from all the actors. I am never one to really feel sadness from films but this movie sucked me in! Such a interesting film and never felt boredom throughout. Tom Hanks was brilliant as he always is. One of my all time favourite films!

What was the actual point of this film? Just another money grab I take it...
26 January 2019
What an absolute let down. I really didn't see the point of the film... was just awful! It really lacked character and was poor acting really. Visually it was fantastic but the plot was crap! I hope they up their game for the next one.
