Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)
Entertaining yet Predictable
Oh my goodness, how many times have we been told this kind of story before! Yes, I understand that this movie is an introduction to a to-be avenger and does a good job in fleshing him out but aside from a couple of unique elements this movie is incredibly rudimentary. I don't even want to delve into how generic this movie is because it should be obvious to any average movie goer.
However, despite the incredibly predictable and basic storyline this movie does have a couple of saving graces. For starters,Simu Liu, Shang Chi, and, Tony Leung, Shang Chi's father both put up compelling performances, not amazing, but still commendable. Also, despite expecting nothing less from disney, the effects and the choreography are top notch which of course makes the movie that much better. However, Awkwafina, the second most prominent character in this movie is literally unbearable from her agitating voice to her horrendous line delivery.
The rudimentary storyline this movie follows is overused for a reason, it is super gratifying, however I walked out of this being underwhelmed because it was just so painfully generic. Overall, this movie does a lot well, from a few stellar acting performances, to top notch action scenes but it is riddled with flaws.
Run (2020)
Riveting film riddled with plotholes.
Backed by two exceptional performances, "Run" does not fail to entertain. From start to finish the movie is an emotional rollercoaster with a plethora of intense scenes to keep the audience on the edge of their seats. However, the plot itself is extremely lackluster and lazy.
The Flash: Pilot (2014)
An electric pilot.
The Flash season 1 starts off with a great episode. The story building and character introductions are done seamlessly and the story seems to move at a decent paste, this episode truly captures the awe of the story of Barry Allen. However, some rather boring moments and some staleness prevent this episode from being higher then 8.
