“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” Movie Review

Well, I was definitely looking forward to an “original” Marvel Avengers movie and, I got it!!! I love this franchise. I’m sad that a couple of the original actors have said that they’re done with the franchise. The road to the ‘End Game’ was legendary and with this being the last G.O.T.G. film (original cast w/James Gunn) allegedly, it was sad yet so good to see their chemistry back on the back screen. Definitely worth checking out. I saw it in IMAX 3-D and yes, of course, there are two end credit scenes with the 2nd being the best (it’s the words after the scene!!!) Yay.

‘Avatar: The Way of Water’ Movie Review

Well, the long-awaited sequel is worth the 3 hrs. 12 minutes. Beautifully illustrated; lush colors; Disney at its best! New lands of characters that adds vast new cultures. Definitely worth checking out. I saw it tonight in Super E-Max; next time IMAX 3D. There is not an end credit scene just pandora scenery through some of the credits.

‘Avengers: Endgame’ Movie Review

Endgame

So, I’m a serious #Marvel fan, therefore, I did enjoy the movie and there are many scenes that made me laugh, tear up and clap for all of the Avengers. For the first time, there are NO end credit scenes yet there is an end credit SOUND that must link somehow to the next phase of movies. I have seen it now two times, in IMAX & IMAX 3D; both nice formats. Now, please stop reading because SPOILERS are next:

1. I did NOT like that Nat/Black Widow is I guess, dead? I must research to find out if the character dies in the comic books. I think she may have been snapped back but they don’t know where yet.
2. I was a little surprised that Vision didn’t return in the time travel.
3. Loki is back when the Avengers travel back in time…there’s a scene that he steals a stone and disappears yet he never re-appears…maybe??? So there may be a twist in future movies about that.
4. I was quite surprised that when Thanos travels back in time, he is such a force for the Avengers to fight altogether. Even with Captain Marvel, Captain America with Thor’s hammer, Iron Man and Pepper suited up etc… it was still a losing fight battle against Thanos, smh.
5. I did not like Iron Man dying yet I’ve heard he dies in the comic books.
6. I did not like that Captain America returns back as an old man and gives up his shield to Falcon.
7. I was surprised that the 2 audiences thus far, that I’ve seen it with did not cheer when Falcon got the shield and when Nick Fury was shown at the end (I didn’t notice him when the Avengers returned).
8. Who was the random man standing with the Avengers at Iron Man’s memorial? He’s shown just before the Shield agents, Captain Marvel then Nick.
9. I have to research to find out what the “sound” means at the end of movie. Answer:  the sound is the same from ‘Iron Man 1’ when Tony was building his first suit.
10. I noticed that Gamora was not on the ship with the Guardians when they left yet she did fight with the Avenger ladies in the last fight scene.

‘Missing Link’ Movie Review

Missing link

This claymation bear sets off to find his relatives with two other adventurers. Kinda reminded me of Sherlock and Holmes. Decent but it didn’t hold my attention. I saw it in 3D and it’s not worth paying for.

‘Avengers: Infinity War’ Movie Review

Avengers Infinity War pic

I’m a diehard #Marvel fan and this 3rd installment of an Avengers movie did not disappoint. It was great seeing so many of the Marvel characters in one movie…NOT all of them are in the movie though.  Rumor is that the X-Men haven’t been written into the Avengers yet, because help is needed.  The movie is great and I have already seen it twice in IMAX 3-D and Dolby.  I enjoyed both formats.  Shout out to a fave #GOT character, Tyrion/Peter Dinklage with his cameo scene.  Yes, I plan to see it again and probably in a different format, Super E-Max.  There’s only ONE end credit scene.

‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’ Movie Review

Guardian of the Galaxy banner 2

This is probably the most fun Marvel movie thus far.  Visually, this movie is stunning!  The sequel clears up the past of one of the Guardian.  There are lots of laughs.  I saw it in Dolby and it was fabulous!  I will see it again in IMAX 3D.  Wait there not two end credit scenes…there are five!!!!  Just stay until the screen turns black.  Also, Stan Lee has two scenes.

‘Live By Night’ Movie Review

Live by Night banner.png

Ben Affleck has a hand in almost everything related to this movie and it’s not a bad thing. The era and premise (A group of Boston-bred gangsters set up shop in balmy Florida during the Prohibition era, facing off against the completion and the Klu Klux Klan) of the movie are favorites of mine (there’s a mention of Detroit as well) yet I found this movie a bit slow and I was waiting for the bang-bang scenes to keep my interest. It’s not a bad movie but I did expect more.

‘Star Trek Beyond’ Movie Review

Star Trek Beyond banner

Storyline, check! Action scenes, check! I really enjoyed this new installment in the franchise (much better than the last). Although, not a deep storyline it was one I could follow and enjoy. I saw it in IMAX 3D and it was great. There’s a warm sentiment at the end to a classic character and a newer one.

‘Nina’ Movie Review

Nina movie

I’m aware of some of Nina Simone’s music yet I’m not aware of her mannerisms so I wasn’t prepared to connect and compare to Zoe’s portrayal of her. It was different seeing Zoe in a real drama role and if she got Ms. Simone’s personality correct, she did a good job. Everything was new to me so I had a really fresh and untainted perspective. The credits showed that Zoe did her own singing and I was impressed. I know Ms. Simone’s family is against this film but if the research of this film is correct, it’s a decent film. Mike Epps gives a great cameo performance of Richard Pryor.

‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ Movie Review

Guardian of the Galaxy banner

NOTE: As with all Marvel films, there is an end credit scene so stay until the screen turns black (I didn’t see it at the advance screening because the studio didn’t want it shown then).
If you’re a Marvel fan as I am, then you’ll love it! Great 3D and fast paced sci-fi scenes. Being a movie Marvel fan, I wasn’t familiar with these characters. The storyline gives an introduction to the characters yet it could have been more in depth; this is a comic book movie so I don’t anything should be too deep. Overall, this is a fun Summertime popcorn movie.
