Beast (2022)
mindless action but a fun ride
Idris Alba takes a knife to a lion fight, this is old school action flick, you must suspend your disbelief, ignore stupid decisions like keeping the truck window open in the jungle, or opening the church door, or leaving the guns behind but go with the ride.
In any action movie, you need to stop taking it literally, If the predator killed Arnold and his crew in the first 5 minutes we wouldn't have a movie and this follows a similar concept. Somehow the lead and his daughters keeps surviving against a lion that killed a platoon of heavily armed poachers and you actually get to see Idris punch a lion and lives to tell a story.
Eternals (2021)
Just Beautiful
This is the most visually stunning Marvel movie to date. The cinematography, the score, the cgi, draws you into a wonderful fantastical world like none have been seen in Marvel. I was dazzled by the color palate and the star crossed love story between Sersi and Ikaris was both beautiful and tragic, the speedster powers were finally done right for the first time in any medium, Angelina Jolie as Thena was both breathtaking and dementia fatal and Gilgamesh stole every scene he was in. Kingo added a very subtle but balanced comedy. Druig added a different darker tone to balance it all. Yes the cast was massive but none felt out of place. I would love to see more of these type of stories from Marvel.
The Brave Ones (2022)
Great idea in paper.
This is Marvel meets African spirituality, the lead is underdeveloped and her acting is amateurish at best, the villain she's great and honestly she carries the whole series. This show has many problem, first of all the cgi is cheap, the score is not the best, the whole feel fails to transport you and in to their world, the tone struggles between soapy, thriller, action or horror, too many storyline and very little focus, besides all that I still had lots of fun, just suspend your disbelief and if you survive the first 2 episodes, it gets much better.
I love the mythology behind it all, I just wish they focused more on the leads journey to discover and learn her powers more and cut a lot of unnecessary clutter.
