Riverdale (2017–2023)

Quite Interesting!

[8/10 · 21 April 2017]

It gets interesting from the very first 10 minutes of the episode, questions start popping up in your head about why? what? how? that's what makes you want to watch Riverdale more. Every episodes keeps you wondering excited and wondering about what's going to happen next? Riverdale for me is a good adaptation of the Archie comics. I like how they have managed to take some dark aspects in this series.

Riverdale is a bit weird, but in a good way. It gets off to a good start as it sets up enough drama between the characters and a mystery that needs solving which will most likely draw people back every week to watch.

The Fate of the Furious (2017)

Entertaining But Lacks Story!

[6/10 · 14 April 2017]

The fate of the furious is the 8th installment of the fast and furious franchise they could've made the story more interesting but they didn't it lacked build up and it lacked depth. You can't expect a fast and furious movies without action. Yes plenty of action and blowing up of cars. If you're going to watch it for action you'll quite like it but if you're wanting a story you'll be disappointed. Visuals, Cars, characters, theft and Action uplifted this installment. Hoping for a better 9th installment.

Legion (2017–2019)

Trippy, Different and Worth it!

[9/10 · 21 March 2017]

Oh My God its Shutter Island all again and that too a TV series. God after the first episode I was literally confused. Like what's happening? Am I tripping? But But to say it has a great story line ahead. And trust me you'll be thrilled with each episode. The story is well written and its shot almost inch perfectly. The TV series is paced properly and the characters keep on getting better. And yeah shush the haters! Legion was always a kick-ass character that was hard to utilize. I'm impressed at what they were able to pull of with this show, especially with him being such a powerful Mutant.

What are you waiting for? Go watch it!

Iron Fist (2017–2018)

Don't listen to the hate.

[8/10 · 19 March 2017]

Iron Fist, opens with a barefoot Danny Rand walking through New York City. Trust me if you want to get hooked to this show just 5 minutes of the pilot episode is going to make you. Many people don't know Iron fist. So to be clear Iron Fist (Daniel "Danny" Rand) is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He's a Master martial artist who has just returned to New York after 12 years and also a plane crash survivor. Later as a team member of The Defenders. I am seeing a lot of criticism but why? Every show has its on charm. This is a slow paced action show similar to daredevil, Jessica Jones and Luke cage. But it doesn't matter it worth the watch.

GUYS! It's a decent watch and worth a shot.

Passengers (I) (2016)

Good watch.

[7/10 · 5 March 2017]

A spaceship on a 120 year voyage to a planet like earth transporting 5000+ people for a new beginning with one person awake from hibernation with 90 more years to go. Well this movie has it all, it has technology, it has a story, it has romance, it has trouble, it has a suspense. A win win combination.

I was thrilled to see the Science and technology in this movie, a star ship which has all the facilities like a cruise liner. The efforts put in this movie are tremendous and are well seen.

A pretty movie for both Sci-Fi and Romantic fans. The only thing that bugged me was its ending. The movie was great but in my opinion it should've had a better climax. Its the unsatisfying climax that lead to critics disliking the movie. I am not criticizing its just what I think. Otherwise Chris and JLaw were fab! Not to forget Michael Sheen too.

Arrival (II) (2016)

Must see.

[9/10 · 1 February 2017]

******CONTAINS SPOILERS*********

This is not your ordinary Sci-Fi movie where Aliens come to invade planet earth and how we defend our planet. Its no Battle Los Angeles Nor independence day or War of worlds.

This movie was beyond that common movies. It was so smartly orchestrated, where Aliens come to our planet unite humanity. All the super powers together as a whole.

Amy Adams has acted sublimely while Jeremy Renner was a strong supporting actor.

Why don't they make more smart and worth watching sci-fi like this? Its a must see.

Taboo (2017)

Dark, Elegant and Interesting.

[9/10 · 28 January 2017]

There can't be a better start to 2017. After the first episode I am sure most of them viewers are hooked. Why won't they? Taboo is a cinematic experience. Everything is so detailed the costumes, the sets, the locations , the music, the characters. You can't expect more from a TV series.

There's nobody else who can play James Delaney better than Tom Hardy. And who wouldn't want to see Tom hardy every Saturday, eh? The guy can deliver some mad roles. Based in 1800s Taboo shows the dark tales of James Delaney the protagonist of the English series. Best part of the series is the mystery and suspense it has orchestrated.

Assassin's Creed (2016)

Its a good watch.

[7/10 · 30 December 2016]

This movie is worth a watch! If you're a non gamer you'll enjoy this movie as it provides you with a new experience. Gamer's are well aware of the characters and will feel that the movie was not up to the mark. Though the movie's build up was quite quick, it was quite intriguing. If you're expecting this movie to be your regular fantasy movie you'll be disappointed. AC is a something different. The only disappointment I felt was that the movie lacked a interesting climax. The climax was a bit off. Maybe a sequel might help the viewers in the future. I personally feel there should be a sequel to this movie. If there will be a sequel for this movie, I am surely in for it.
