Deadpool (2016)
You can hate him just as much as you love him.
Hardly give films 9/10s, the only other films I've given that to are Space Odyssey And Back to The future.
Deadpool is an interesting film to study. In theory this film should be a total train wreck, with a form of comedy that is hard to nail. I think what makes Deadpool make this work is that the fourth wall jokes aren't the only source of comedy, being there is slap stick, character driven and visual comedy to boot. I feel that Deadpool's entire story is a fourth wall break, seemingly every character acts in a strange and vile way, such as Wades girlfriend reacting how anyone would after seeing Wades face instead of power couple "You're still beautiful" line being thrown in, she instead reacts how someone actually would, playing a standard trope for a joke, by making the characters more nuisanced. The fact that the plot is very predictable as well, which though is a down fall of the film is the entire point and why I prefer this one over the sequel, as it just sticks to a standard superhero story.
Overall, though the reception of this film can be seen as mixed, in my opinion this is one of the best Superhero films, ever, and though it will fade into obscurity due to the new instalments in the fantastic MCU, I will always remember this as one of my favourites.
SuperMarioGlitchy4 (2011)
The Rick And Morty of the internet
Well, I've never thought I'd say that something like this is actually really good.
The use of memes isn't forceful and is actually really funny at times, partially due to how the show adds a meme to make a standard joke like having hallucinations to give it a charm so people stay engaged. The episodes, even at their worst are still very enjoyable and seeing outlandish concepts with Nintendo characters is a lot of fun.
My main issue with the show is something strange, and is the main reason why I gave the title of the review it's name "the rick and Morty of the internet" and that being when the show focuses on a character it's strange, the recent anime arc has a great deal of development for The character Meggy, which is fine but what made something like The Waluigi arc so entertaining was the less amount of emotional baggage and the absurdity of the arc with smaller bits of character development, such as the therapy session at the end of the arc being satisfying and funny and absurd.
Overall I'm intrigued where this will go and how Lucas and Kevin will pull it off.
She-Ra and the Princesses of Power (2018)
Surprisingly good
I like it. I liked the character chemistry and interactions, The art style, voice acting and especially the backgrounds and colours. I was pleasantly surprised and I would recommend it!
Rango (2011)
An underrated gem
I found the film surprisingly good.
I liked the western setting, Rango's lies and his socially awkward personality and his arc when he reached his lowest point. I like the towns folks and their designs. Animation was good. The jokes were pretty good. My one complaint is it is a bit confusing in some areas and quite gross and disturbing at times but none the less I loved this film
Step Brothers (2008)
Surpirsed with some laughs
A good film that was hilarious, but I felt a bit cliches but relatable with the younger brother being more talented than the older and a likeable set of main characters
