Moon Knight: Summon the Suit (2022)
I can't understand the hate towards this show
Firstly, only one episode had aired and the show already got downvoted to hell. I've got to admit that I was quite skeptical of another MCU series, after how Loki and Wanda Vision turned out. The early reviews on here nearly drove me away from giving Moonknight a shot and that's a shame.
Some people complained that it isn't dark and gritty enough for them and they expected more of a Punisher / Daredevil kind of show. I'm glad it didn't go down that route and is incorporating humorous elements as well. Without giving to much away, in the second episode things are definitely heating up and we learn a lot about Steven's inner conflict and the overall story. I thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait for more episodes. I love the ancient egypt theme and in my opinion it brings something totally new to the MCU table. I'm no Marvel fanboy at all and have been very disappointed with the direction the MCU has taken lately but Moonknight is worth your time.
Blood Red Sky (2021)
Enjoyed every second of it
Man Netflix is putting out quality movies on a regular basis at the moment, especially european ones. This one is very unique, given that hijacking a plane is quite a common theme but adding the horror element, a great mix. The cast is very good so is the pacing and overall presentation. If you like horror and action, this one is definitely for you!
Comment je suis devenu super-héros (2020)
A fun superhero movie
Keep in mind this is not a big budget blockbuster or a Marvel / DC movie, it's a french superhero movie and I surprisingly enjoyed it very much. Sure the story isn't ground breaking by any means but the cast's chemistry and their sense of humor makes it a more then decent film. If you like superhero movies and have 2 hours to spare give it a watch, after the US France is the second biggest movie producer and they can certainly stand their ground in my opinion.
Fear Street: 1978 (2021)
Incredible horror movie, can't wait for part 3!
I quite enjoyed the first installment but it really lacked the pacing and the horror vibe and man this movie got those, galore! Also some great kills, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time and felt invested in the main characters too. Not like in part 1 with Deena being super annoying. Splitting the story into 3 parts is a very smart choice in my opinion, the built up and lore is tense and meaningful. And one can't wait for part 3, really looking forward to seeing all main characters returning.
If you're a fan of the books or slashers in general you must see this movie, trust me. Just don't think too much and you won't be disappointed, I had a blast.
The Babysitter (2017)
Unexpectedly awesome
Man did I have a blast watching this! Combining over the top slasher with comedy is a brilliant recipe.
It's very unusual, that's why there are so many bad ratings but definitely give this movie a watch, the chemistry of the cast is brillant, as is the cinematography. Hope Netflix will create similar movies.
Blood of Zeus: A Call to Arms (2020)
A great start
Honstely, I was never into the more anime style shows but this show got a unique style and feel to it. I love ancient greek mythology and am looking forward of how it will be implemented throughout the show. Great character introduction and look, definitely worth a watch.
Avengers: Endgame (2019)
Monumental. Breathtaking. The end of an era.
I'm among those people, who normally don't engage in writing reviews. But this time I really have and want to. I rewatched the infinity-saga prior to Engame's release and there couldn't have been a better ending to it then the one it got. It really has been an epic ride and I feel privileged to have been able to be a part of it. Though only being a spectator, I feel connected to these characters, they are like long know friends. Endgame is the epic and monumental end to the saga which began over a decade ago. And oh it is more then worthy to be the last milestone on this incredible journey. I went through so many emotions watching this, joy, pride, happiness, sorrow and a sense of being alive and what it means to be human. Just watch it, you'll see what I mean, I really don't promise too much. It's truely hard to say goodbye to so many beloved characters, but they get the ending they deserve and will always be the franchise's core. Thank you for this amazing journey Marvel.
The Legend of Korra: Light in the Dark (2013)
Had me on the edge of my seat
Seriously, I just don't t get all the criticism on LOK.
I guess if people wouldn't have know ATL, their opinion would be a lot different but sure it will always be compared to it, that's the way it is.
Like many others I refused to watch Korra after Aang's journey came to an end,
but oh boy am I glad that I changed my mind.
Yes, LOK may lack character development sometimes, but still you quickly fall in love with it's world and the main characters.
I just can't help but love the new Team Avatar and especially Tenzin and his siblings when they appear in season 2 and overall the overall appearance of the show is something new and special, you can dive right into it.
I got no problem with her avatar state being a more down to earth version at times, but that's because she activates it far more often than Aang and it's still damn powerful.
To be completely honest I prefer her over Aang, yes she is 5 years older and not that more mature but I feel she is more authentic and vulnerable and overall likeable but that's just my opinion.
This season is amazing, I thought S1 can't be topped but I was wrong (again) not just the origins of the avatar were explored (awesome to see uncle iroh again!) but the quest in and around the spirit world was mind blowing.
If you liked ATL you should definitely give Korra a chance, believe me you won't regret it!!
