Space Jam: A New Legacy: Review

 While the Looney Tunes are as good as ever (Especially Daffy Duck), the voice cast on the Looney Tunes (Specifically Zendaya as Lola Bunny), and Don Cheadle as AL-G Rhythm are good, the film is a bland adventure that lacks the humor and quirkiness of the original film in every way. This film was inferior to the original Space Jam in every way.

Out of 4 stars I would give it...

The Marksman: Review

 The Marksman proves that Liam Neeson can still do action flicks.

The story line felt like a mixture of The Mule, Logan, and the Highway Men. I loved how they showed how dangerous the Mexican Cartel is. Only problem I had was the ending, I wish we could have seen his step-daughter's reaction to what happened.

The acting by Liam Neeson was outstanding. Even after all these years he has still got it. Even the actors that played members of the Mexican cartel did an outstanding job.

The action scenes were very good as well. The scene where he shot the tires and the car flipped had me dying of laughter. The director did a good job in not going over the top with his action, and making it very realistic.

F9: Review

 F9 is a shut your brain off fun movie.

The story line was pretty weak and predictable. I wish we also would have found out what happened to Mr. Nobody, I hope he is still alive. I was also glad that Hans came back, but it just wasn't the same having him around without Gisele Yashar (Gal Gadot). I was surprised that they kept Cipher alive, I guess she will be the villain in the next 2 films.

The acting was great as usual. Tyrese Gibson and Ludacris had the best one liners. But, I really thought that Nathalie Emmanuel stole the show with her performance. I loved it when she tried to drive a truck through London, I was dying of laughter. The actor that played a young Dom did an excellent job as well, he really did remind me of Vin Diesel.

The action, while unrealistic, was loads of fun. The bridge scene had me dying of laughter, as did the scene where Tyrese Gibson somehow survived the truck falling on him. Fast and Furious has always had a lot of fun with how they do their action scenes.

Based on the end credits scene, I really hope that Jason Statham plays a bigger role in the next film.
