Wonder movie

Well this looks cheesy, cliche, inaccurate and overly cutesy, I will not be buying a ticket, not even out of curiosity. I thought Jacob Tremblay was great in Room but think it would've been much better if they actually got a child who has TCS or a similar condition rather than use makeup and prosthetics. I know they claim they were going to have a child with TCS in it but he had to pull out because of surgeries but can't see why they couldn't have got another boy with TCS.

"I've had 27 surgeries to help me breathe (no trach scar, he is very easy to understand when he is speaking), see (???), hear without a hearing aid (what? that makes no sense!),"

No offence to any Americans reading but it comes across a very American, overly cheerful, not very realistic, you know everything is going to work out in the end.

Comic book movies etc.

*|SPOILER ALERT FOR  BATMAN V SUPERMAN AND SUICIDE SQUAD*

Well I saw Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 last weekend. If you liked the first movie you will definitely enjoy the second. I won't spoil anything but it is another great Marvel movie, it's not perfect but it's a fantastic way to spend 2 hours and 18 minutes. Marvel have really got this whole movie making thing down. BUT they can still improve in a few areas
1. Right balance of humour, Age of Ultron was irritating due to the sheer number of quips, not all of the jokes landed in Doctor Strange and Guardians 2 suffers a little bit from this as well
2. Post-credit scenes, they should really only be included if they set the scene for future movies or are really funny (note this does not include Howard the duck who only a minority of the audience will actually know...)
3. Villains, obviously the heroic characters are the focus but the bad guys have been a bit of a weak point in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Loki has been the stand-out but he was given more screen time to flesh him out. I was especially disappointed with Ultron, in the comics the impression I got is that he is a massive threat and he never really seemed to be in the movie. He wasn't scary, he just quipped as much as the heroes.
4, A big sticking point for myself and other people who watch the TV shows both Agents of Shield and the Netflix shows (Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist) is the lack of acknowledgement/crossover from the movies. When asked about this the people behind the movies often bring up logistical issues but that is a bit of a flimsy excuse. The people who make the movies may not like the fact that the tv shows are being made but they need to suck it up and do something for the fans.

Really hope they make Thanos seem like a threat and an interesting character at the same time

Speaking of the tv shows, I haven't watched this season of Agents of Shield yet however I have watched all the Netflix shows so far. Daredevil is definitely the stand-out Jessica Jones is good but gets a bit dark and twisted and feels like it could've been a bit shorter. Luke Cage is also good but again probably could've been a bit shorter and the final show down is a bit lame. Iron Fist is probably the weakest shows, Danny isn't the easiest character to root for, the fight scenes aren't that great and the story is a bit all over the place. It doesn't help that it also uses the same group of villains that appeared in Daredevil only for them to feel rather lame in comparison to the original appearance.

Moving onto Fox, here is the review I did for X-men Apocalypse:
https://thegownatqub.wordpress.com/2016/06/03/film-review-x-men-apocalypse-20th-century-fox-2016/
Fox really need to keep making movies like Deadpool and Logan and stop making movies like Fantastic Four (the most recent one) and X-men Apocalypse. Not because Deadpool and Logan were rated 18 or R or whatever but because they were both fantastic movies.No doubt certain movie studios won't make that distinction...

Finally onto DC and Warner Bros. Let me just say that I enjoyed Man of Steel, it has it's flaws but I think it didn't deserve a lot of the hate that it got and it could've have acted as a good spring board for a Superman sequel/a larger movie universe. But of course they decided instead of doing a Man of Steel sequel or another character they decided to jump straight into  Batman V Superman movie which also attempts to introduce Wonder Woman along with other Justice League characters. The problem with having a Batman V Superman movie is that it leaves you in a corner where there needs to be a valid reason to fight and the fight actually needs to be good. Unfortunately neither happened. I was in a good mood when I went to see the movie as were my friends I saw it with but afterwards we were all angry that they had managed to make such a mess of these great characters. I could write a whole blog post about everything that is wrong with it. You have the idiotic things that happen for example the president authorising a nuke to be fired at Doomsday when Superman is literally in the process of punching him way out into space, Batman just straight up murders loads of people in the movie, it's hard to believe he has much a of a rogues gallery left at this point in his career. For those saying he is like this because of the death of his second Robin, Jason Todd (which we haven't seen yet), I would like to point out the fact that Robin was apparently running around with a flipping axe! Then you have Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor, apparently Jesse doesn't watch his own movies, so I have to say I'm quite jealous that he didn't have to sit through his performance. I think he would've been perfect as the annoying Riddler such as he is portrayed in the Arkham games but not as Lex Luthor. Also can we talk about how lame it is that the reason he ends up bald is because he gets his head shaved in prison and it goes from a shaved head to completely bald for no reason!

Lots of cools shots for the trailers, shame the movie was rubbish!

Suicide Squad wasn't quite as bad but only because of lowered expectations and the fact the characters aren't as well known. That said it isn't great, Jared Leto's Joker is lame, the other villain is a bit rubbish as well. It obviously tries to copy Guardians of the Galaxy with popular song after song but it just comes off as a bit silly. Then of course their is the finale and the ridiculous slow motion moment. I want all these movies to be good but unfortunately whilst Wonder Woman looks promising other than the fact it looks like it might be a CGI mess of a finale like Batman V Superman, I have low expectations for Justice League. Batman trying to be funny, overly macho Aquaman overcompensating for the jokes about him being a lame character, Cyborg is now apparently an Iron-Man rip off not to mention his body is 90% messy CGI, the over-use of obvious CGI and green screen, and Ezra Miller's Flash. Obviously I may be a bit biased due to being a fan of the TV show but I don't like the movie's armored costume (you would think a CSI who wants to keep his identity hidden would wear gloves...), the fact that his lightning is now blue (why?!) and the fact that it shoots out all over the place like crazy even when he isn't even pushing himself. Also a bit annoying that they seem to be doing the same story that his dad is wrongly in prison for the murder of Barry's mother. I hope to be proven wrong about these DC movies but I fear I won't be.

Can't imagine it's comfortable to run in...

Thanks for reading, I'll try and have a non-superhero post up soon as well.
