The Marvels (2023)
I've never walked out of a movie
Until this disaster. Where do I even begin? How do we get a refund?? Will our CC companies even honor a dispute at this point? I have never, ever walked out of a movie. I finished even The Eternals for heavens sake and slept thru Antman Quantumania. But can we all just close the book on Marvel at this point? This is what a FILLER is. I never thought I'd see the day they'd make a FILLER an actual movie. Anyone knows what a "filler" is knows how awful it is to be categorized as such but it is what it is. The only good thing is that this debacle is relatively short. An hour and change I believe? I wouldn't know. I could not finish the movie. And to those who have.. you probably just stayed for the end credits. Let's be real.
Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One (2023)
Saw it today opening day! THANK YOU TMOBILE and Tom!
Saw this in IMAX top of the line but thanks to tmobile tuesdays it only cost my wife and I $10!!! No spoilers here but honestly this may be hands down the summer blockbuster of 2023!! The MI Team is absolutely incredible and Ving? My favorite. Always has been. The women are sexy beautiful and deadly. Ethan is Ethan and just.. do yourself a favor and go watch it in IMAX if possible. Don't cheat yourself and go for an absolute adventure and this is a must see movie if ever there was one. I'd have gladly paid full price for these tickets but if you're a tmobile customer? You'd be robbing yourself if you didn't go see it. You're sitting on a winning lottery ticket and not gonna cash it in? NOPE! Wow. Just wow of a movie!
The Flash (2023)
May be the greatest (2nd) "comic book" movie of all time..
PLEASE NO SPOILERS! Do not destroy your experience by reading spoilers.. simply put: This ranks up there with THE DARK KNIGHT. It's a masterpiece and if this is DC with Gunn at the helm then by god the future will be amazing. Go see it. Don't spoil yourself. Go in and let yourself be moved and captured and have yourself a "magic" moment only possible in the movies :) Don't you owe yourself that much at least? The Flash delivers on everything on my mama and is as good as the greatest movie of all time (imo) The Dark Knight! We've been spoiled by having the animated spidey and the flash released side by side and both are a treat for sure. Go and enjoy it folks! It is worth it. Simply, wow.
Joker (2019)
in this mad world, only the mad are sane
What an unforgettable experience this movie was.. the last movie i saw that had "must experience" all over it was "A Quiet Place".. if you ever saw that in the movies you'd know what I mean sitting there in a completely full theatre and yet you could hear a pin drop from the silence.. JOKER is right up there with the greatest movies of all-time with one of the greatest performances ever by Mr. Phoenix. Anyone else wins best actor and we know the ceremonies are rigged he was THAT good! Can't wait until this comes out in 4K not only is it insta-watch in the movies but it's also insta-grab to add to the collection! BRAVO!
Hans Zimmer: Live in Prague (2017)
Very Rarely do I give a 10 and to a concert of all things?!
I wasn't aware of who Hans Zimmer was until The Dark Knight.. I saw a special they had detailing the journey to create "The Joker's Theme".. the way he explained it and created the piece was brilliant.. in essence, he wanted whosoever hears it to always know there's something hovering around.. a menace almost.. everyone should feel uneasy and on the edge of their seats.. it was right then and there I knew the brilliance of Hans. I didn't google his resume or know what movies he's done but this concert? Do yourself a favor and watch it.. turn up the music, sit back and you'll be smiling beginning to end
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)
2nd Best CBM ever behind The Dark Knight
The greatest movie I have ever seen remains The Dark Knight.. but Batman vs Superman is a close 2nd and in some ways betters it. How so? Simple.. this is the greatest Batman portrayal EVER. I have seen almost all of the Batman movies and nobody.. NOBODY's Batman comes close to Ben Affleck's. Keep in mind I'm talking strictly Batman and not Bruce Wayne.
This is how Batman is and should be.. in a word: SAVAGE. I have enjoyed every minute and the 2.5 hour runtime did not feel it because of the great story and characters. Splurge and treat yourselves. Go to the movies, let yourself be taken to their world for a few hours. Only when you yawn hours after the movie will you understand the magic and energy you've been a part of! Can't wait for the Bluray.. def going to get the extra length cut!
Iron Man Three (2013)
what an awful movie
there was a moment near during the end where I honestly considered walking out of the theater.. it's.. it's that bad. They did THAT with the mandarin?! and the story?! the time-line?! the plot?! just.. awful! holy crap i never thought i'd say this from a "summer blockbuster" movie but i felt like walking out of the movie it was simply horrid.
when the "twist" happened and I sat there thinking they bastardized the characters.. what is this?! what the bloody hell is going on?! and i'm hoping it picks up but it simply does not.
Plot is non-existent, the characters are dull, boring and lifeless and really the only salvation this movie has if any is the chemistry and rapport between Robert and Gwyneth!
I honestly think they did this movie for one reason and one reason only.. to showcase the "Iron Man Armory" because this is one of the worst "summer blockbuster" movies ever made
The Dark Knight Rises (2012)
THE Trilogy of MY Lifetime
Past Generations have had The Godfather, Star Wars.. I've even seen the entire Lord of the Rings Trilogy.. but for my lifetime (I am 33yrs old now)..
Nothing beats Christopher Nolan's Batman!
I'm sure others will throw every superlative word or compliment they can think of at The Dark Knight Rises but the only thing I can say is it is truly a fantastic experience and this is THE Trilogy of my generation!
Do yourself a favor, if you are wary of "Summer Blockbusters".. go and watch The Dark Knight Rises and if you haven't before.. follow it up with Batman Begins and then The Dark Knight
Movies like these come seldom in a generation, you owe it to yourself! :) thank you Mr. Nolan, thank you!
