Gangsta Granny Strikes Again! (2022)
Awful
I have watched all of David Walliams' Adaptations. With each new adaptation they get worse. Started off strong with Mr Stink (2012), which is a feel good charmful film. Then again with Gangsta Granny (2013). Even though these films were aimed at Children it was something the whole family could enjoy.
The Boy in the Dress (2014), Billionaire Boy (2016), Ratburger (2017) were all okay. Then Grandpa's Great Escape (2018) and The Midnight Gang (2018) weren't good.
This film is awful. I don't know why on earth they decided to make a sequel. The story is boring and so predictable. I don't think even a 5 year old could enjoy this.
The recasts are some of the worst I've seen. Replacing Miranda Hart with Sheridan Smith seems good on paper because Sheridan is a brilliant actress but in this, Miranda Hart works so much better. Ben, The Neighbour, The Queen and Flavio have all been recast and they're all played awfully. It seems so weird seeing these new, not as good, actors referencing stuff that happened in the previous film. The original Ben actor was so much better, the current actor, Archie Yates who was really good in JoJo Rabbit!!, seemed like he was just reading a script, he had no emotion.
The only returning actors/characters are Raj, Ben's Dad, The Policeman and Granny. Raj is definitely the best returning character. Ben's dad played by David Walliams' is unfunny, David Walliams' comedy career hasn't been good for the past 5 years so this does not surprise me. The Policeman played by Steve Speirs was okay, but he was only in it for a short couple of scenes. Julia McKenzie's Granny only appears in a short dream-like sequence.
This sequel was a waste of the audience's and actors times. 1/10.
Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)
Spider-Man: No Way Home
👍 Pros 👍
Tom Holland as Peter Parker / Spider-Man was very good, I'd say it is Tom Holland's best Spidey performance so far.
Willem Dafoe as Norman Osborn / Green Goblin was menacing and Dafoe proved he was born to play this role. Alfred Molina as Otto Octavius / Doc Ock and Jamie Foxx as Max Dillon / Electro were both a joy to see back on the screen.
Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Marisa Tomei and Jon Favreau as MJ, Ned, Aunt May and Happy Hogan all work perfectly as Peter's moral compass and play their parts perfectly.
Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock/ Daredevil was perfect, even though his appearance was brief.
Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield as the Peter Parker / Spider-Man variants was perfect. It brings a sense of closure to their characters but also leaves the door open to them returning in future movies.
Thomas Hayden Church and Rhys Ifans returning as Flint Marko / Sandman and Curt Connors / The Lizard, Although their characters were both completely CGI it was nice being able to hear their iconic voices again.
Reusing elements of past Spider-Man movies' soundtracks.
The Original Soundtrack for this movie is amazing.
Mays Death scene was executed beautifully and conveyed the perfect emotions.
Benedict Wong as Wong is always a joy to see on the screen even if he was only briefly in this movie.
Benedict Cumberbatch's Doctor Strange worked quite well as this morally "grey" type character, like he is portrayed almost as a villain when he wants to send Green Goblin, Doc Ock, Electro, Sandman and Lizard back but the reasoning for him wanting to do this made sense.
The Spider-Men outfits were perfect.
The Pacing was very good.
I am reviewing this movie several months after my initial watch and a few months after my 2nd watch at home and the movie is still extremely memorable.
The Ending is executed perfectly.
👎 Cons 👎
Not really a con but Thomas Hayden Church and Rhys Ifans don't actually appear physically on screen only just their voices, and when they are on screen in their human form it is reused footage from Spider-Man 3 and The Amazing Spider-Man.
Some of the CGI looked a bit "Ragdoll-y" one main example being the Iron Spider suit in some of the bridge scenes.
Flash Thompson's Haircut.
📝 FINAL NOTE 📝
It is a very good payoff to the first Tom Holland Spider-Man trilogy.
Morbius (2022)
Morbius
Jared Leto as Doctor Michael Morbius not good. All of Jared Leto's lines are spoken with the same boring tone. Every scene he's just like "😐".
Milo (Matt Smith) is the only genuinely good part of it. His facial expressions and line delivery is menacing. When playing Milo he uses his emotions really well.
FBI Agent Rodriguez (Al Madrigal) is portrayed as a comedic character but is just annoying and irritating.
FBI Agent Simon Stroud (Tyreese Gibson) is by far the better FBI Agent out of the two.
Doctor Emil Nicholas (Jared Harris) was an okay character but didn't really do too much in the movie. I understand he is meant to be a father figure/mentor type role to Morbius and Milo, but that's all he is, not a very particularly interesting one either.
Martine Bancroft (Adria Ajorna) is an okay character but similarly to Jared Harris' Character she doesn't do much except be Morbius' Love Interest.
Some of the Vampire to Human and Human to Vampire CGI actually looks quite good. The mist around the characters when they are in Vampire form is okay but looks a bit janky in places.
The first end credit scene doesn't make any sense. Why has Adrian Toomes / Vulture just appeared in some random prison NOT in his universe. Tf.
The second end credit scene is absolutely terrible. The dialogue is awful. None of it makes sense.
This movie leaves you wishing the movie was about Matt Smith's Character. Or even having Matt Smith as the main role.
Lightyear (2022)
Unnecessary and Slightly Dissapointing
I was very excited when I heard about this movie being made, but the movie is a dissapointment. The characters aren't very likeable, and for majority of the movie seem like a hindrance to the plot.
Chris Evans voice acting is okay, but has nothing on Tim Allen's take on Buzz. I enjoy Taika Waititi's work but in this his character becomes rather annoying very quickly.
The Future Buzz/Time Travel twist was quite good considering this is a movie for kids.
The whole film seemed a bit too fast paced.
Overall, this film was a bit of a dissapointment for me personally, I can see why some people will enjoy it and I can also see why some people won't enjoy it.
3/10.
Ms. Marvel: Destined (2022)
Very good Episode but one gripe...
MAKE HER AN INHUMAN, not a Djinn, tf is a Djinn, Stop changing her origin story, Kamala Khan is an INHUMAN. Even the hand that had the bracelet one was Blue, Blue = Kree, Kree = Inhuman.
Doctor Who: Flux: Chapter Six - The Vanquishers (2021)
Ehhhhhhhhhhh
Negative - This whole season has had sprinkles of hope but hasn't delivered. Swarm, Azure and Grandserpents resolutions were lazy. How low is this Series' budget?, "The passengers" mask is literally a £13 paintball mask. The CGI in this series is either amazing or awful. The editing in this episode was awful and all over the place. The font used looks so horrible. Jodie still doesn't perform the lines with enough passion, It still seems very forced. The whole Timeless Child thing is stupid and should have never been put to screen.
Positives - John Bishop as Dan. Jericho. The Azure and Swarm Makeup. Kate Stewart was badass and amazing as always but she was a bit unnecessary for the season as it was already too crowded. I thought Jacob Andersons performance was good but I still feel his character was underused.
I am glad Chibnall is leaving he is easily the worst writer the series has had since it's 2005 revival. I can't wait for Russell T Davies to return.
Eternals (2021)
Do Not Listen to the Critic Reviews. Have an opinion by yourself
EXTREME EXTREME EXTREME SPOILERS
I loved the Film so much. The Acting from all of the cast is amazing. The cinematography and directing was fenomenal.
Sersi, Druig, Makkari, Phastos, Thena, Gilgamesh, Dane Whitman, Kingo & Karun are stand out characters for me and I loved every moment with them in it. Sprite was a good character too but some of her actions made me not like her as much. I was so annoyed with Ikaris but for good reason, We were meant to. It is what the Director wanted. Salma Hayek's Ajak was killed off pretty quickly but was shown in several flashbacks which I liked. One death I was really upset with was Gilgamesh although I understand why this choice was made. One character who I think could have a bit more screentime was Bill Skarsgård's Kro, Kro was on screen a lot but not with Skarsgård's voice.
One thing that is extremely sad is seeing this movie getting nuked with bad reviews because it features a Gay Couple, Several Characters of Ethnic Minority and a Deaf Actress. The Cast aren't just diverse for the sake of being diverse, They all act brilliantly and hope to see some of them again in the future.
The film ends on a cliffhanger with Arishem stealing Sersi, Phastos and Kingo from earth.
The two end credits are both very important for the future of the MCU. One of them shows Harry Styles as Eros/Star Fox/Thanos' Brother meeting the remaining Eternals who left earth (Thena, Druig and Makkari) And the other shows Dane Whitman opening a box with a sword in which obviously hints towards him becoming Black Knight, A voice can be heard off screen in this scene and it is Mahershala Ali as Blade.
Overall I was extremely happy when leaving the cinema because this was a different kind of MCU, And definitely a good kind of different. I highly recommend watching this movie. BUT REMEMBER This is only my opinion of the movie, Make sure to watch it yourself and have your own opinions on it.
Agent Carter (2015)
One of the best MCU Shows ever.
I still count this show as canon to the MCU because it doesn't affect it in any big way (it is its own self contained story)
Agent Carter is one of the best and most consistent MCU series'. All of the characters are portrayed brilliantly. The plot is amazing. The locations and settings are outstanding.
This is a show that should have got a third season because at the end of season two it somewhat hints towards a third season.
The fact Disney and Marvel are counting the shows as non-canon Is stupid to me because none of them harm the MCU by existing.
#MakeMarvelTVCanon.
The Suicide Squad (2021)
Best DCEU Movie to Date. Ignore the 1/10 reviews.
In my opinion it is easily the best DCEU movie to date. The cast were amazing (even though some had very small roles). The writing was amazing. The song choices were sublime. An all round great cinema experience.
The violence fits this movie so well. The comedy is done well. The action scenes are *chefs kiss*.
I'd say the only thing I can fault in is the villain, Don't get me wrong it was an amazing villain but it was definitely nerfed compared to the comic version.
One thing that annoys me is the fact that people who only follow the MCU have come over and have rated this lowly without even watching the movie. As someone who enjoys both Marvel and DC, This movie is definitely an enjoyable experience and is miles better than the 2016 Suicide Squad. This film deserves a lot higher reviews.
Hats off to you Mr James Gunn.
Loki: Journey Into Mystery (2021)
Amazing Episode.
Such an amazing episode. The acting was on point. The only thing I'd say was a little bit of a let down is the underuse of President Loki, Boastful Loki and the death of Classic Loki.
Loki: The Nexus Event (2021)
Epic
Amazing acting from the whole cast. The end credit scene was fantastic. Can't wait for the next episode.
Inside No. 9: Last Night of the Proms (2021)
Last Night of the Proms (S06Ep06)
A decent episode, not my favourite of the series. Once again the acting across the board was amazing.
Inside No. 9: How Do You Plead? (2021)
Such an amazing episode.
The performances from the whole cast was amazing. So happy to see Sir Derek Jacobi back Inside Number 9. The twist was amazing.
Inside No. 9: Hurry Up and Wait (2021)
Really enjoyed this episode.
Reece was amazing as usual. Really liked Steve's Character and the backstory about his family. The twist was good. Adrian Dunbar plays Adrian Dunbar brilliantly 😂
Inside No. 9: Lip Service (2021)
Another great episode
Great performances from all 3. The plot was amazing too.
Marvel Studios: Legends (2021)
It's literally just a show for recaps.
It's a show recapping what's happened to the characters from the MCU. It's not meant to be this action packed film-like series. I don't see why people hate it so much
WandaVision: The Series Finale (2021)
Very good Ending
The people who hate it are most likely "fans£ who believe every theory as fact. Like the rumours of characters turning up even though it wouldn't make any sense e.g. Mephisto, Ultron, Doctor Strange, All of the Fantastic Four, Batman, Greg Heffley and every other character from any film franchise ever 🤡🤡🤡
The series doesn't need a massive cameo to be good. It's a series primarily about WANDA and VISION hence it's name not the WANDAVISIONREEDRICHARDSDOCTORSTRANGEULTRONFANTASTICFOUR show.
Everyone who hates on it because they're theory didn't become true 😭🤡 get a grip.
Overall Series review 10/10
Friends (1994)
Unfunny
Unfunny boring. Proves that American comedy is terrible. There is a laugh sound track after nearly every line
Doctor Who: Twice Upon a Time (2017)
The Perfect Ending
A great send off for Capaldi and Doctor Who in general. This is how Doctor Who should have ended or have gone on a break, baring in mind how godawful series 11 and 12 turned out to be. I really really hope all of Jodie's era is boycotted as it has ruined the show forever.
Back to the Episode. I love this episode because it's such a good way to send the doctor off, Doctors in fact. I think it's a perfect way to show the 1st Regeneration as well. I love that Bill and Nardole are in the episode, a long with the Clara Cameo. I'm glad Mark Gatiss got a slightly bigger role than usual as I loved him in the League of Gentlemen and Sherlock. David Bradley's performance as The 1st Doctor is amazing.
Overall really good episode 10/10
Doctor Who: The Timeless Children (2020)
Would have rated 0/10
Worst Episode ever. Ruins the whole 57 years of the show.
Question: What is the name of the Show?
Answer: Doctor Who. Doctor. Who. We aren't meant to know who the Doctor is, He is a mysterious character. The Timeless Child should have never been the Doctor, It would have made me a bit happier if the Timeless Child was the Master. One person I would love to have seen to be the Timeless Child is The Doctors Granddaughter Susan.
The Companions are so irrelevant. Graham, Ryan and Yaz do next to nothing relevant in the episode, But now we have to care about 4 other pointless characters:
- Old Bloke who sacrifices himself
- Some random woman who might have an interest in Graham
- Some lanky creepy looking bloke
- A guy who looks about 16 years old
Please BBC get rid of Chris Chibnall, Boycott Series 11 and 12 and get better writers.
R.I.P.D. (2013)
R.I.P.D.
Can't understand 80% of what Jeff Bridges is saying in this movie.
