Venom: Let There Be Carnage: Review

 Venom 2 is a chaotic, but fun film that improves on the first film in every way.

The overall story line had some great humor, but I still have a problem with how Venom is written in this film. I really prefer how he was done in Spider-Man 3, as a cold blooded psychopath who enjoyed being evil. But, I felt this story line was not as generic, and didn't drag as much as the original did. Andy Serkis' direction was good as well.

The acting in this was about what you would expect. Woody Harrelson, in my opinion, knocked it out of the park with his performance. Naomi Harris also did a great job as Shriek. While I like Tom Hardy as Venom, I still dislike him as Eddie.

In terms of a sequel, they hinted that Detective Mulligan will become Toxin like in the comics. And with the post credits scene tying into Spider-Man: Far From Home, and Spider-Man: No Way Home, we now know how this ties into the MCU, and that Venom will be coming for Peter Parker very soon. It was pretty obvious that Dr. Strange casted the spell at the end.

My Casting for the Five Night's At Freddy's Movie

William Afton: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1P3JrbHnEYU&ab_channel=ATLAS%2Fmercury or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-k9PAAL7ss&ab_channel=MoviesPlusTv    (Too close for me to decide who would be a better choice.)

Phone Guy: Scott Cawthon (If it ain't broke don't fix it.)

In terms of voice actors for the animatronics, they should just keep the same voice actors from the games. They are too good.

I am only putting the Silver Eyes characters below just in case Scott decides to use some of them for the movies, or have the names of the characters while writing them differently. While I know Charlie and Elizabeth are younger in the games, I am only going off of how Scott wrote them in the books, in case he decides to make them older.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings: Review

 While not their best film, Shang-Chi is one of the more entertaining MCU movies.

The story line was very predictable, but it had a lot of heart to it, which ended up saving it. I loved that they really tried something new with this movie, and the direction in this movie was outstanding. I was glad at the amount of cameos in this movie also. I loved the part where Xu Wenwu mentioned the Mandarin from Iron Man 3 and proceeded to mock his name.

The acting in this movie was great as well. Awkwafina absolutely stole the show as Katy, and her one liners were great as well. I was shocked at how much screen time Trevor Slattery had in this movie. While I hated the Iron Man 3 plot twist, Ben Kingsley did a great job, and he once again did a great job in this movie. Tony Leung gave a heartfelt performance as the villain, and he was certainly one of the better written villains in the MCU.

The action scenes were amazing and they heavily exceeded my expectations. The bus fight scene was the best choregraphed hand to hand combat fight scene I have seen in the MCU since Captain America: The Winter Soldier. The visuals in the fight scenes also looked great.

Their is a lot of potential for a sequel, and it can go in so many directions. It was interesting to see Shang-Chi's sister, Xu Xialing, take over the 10 Rings at the end. Wonder if she will be the villain in the next film, or if she is still good?

Avengers 5 has been teased!!!!! I loved the ending where we see Captain Marvel (I loved seeing her hair look normal), and Bruce Banner. What shocked me, is that Bruce is no longer in Hulk form!!!! When the heck did this happen!!!! I need answers!!!

Captain Marvel, Bruce, and Wong trying to figure out what the 10 rings are made of and where they come from was very interesting. When they noticed that the Rings sent out a homing beacon, my first thought was Galactus and the Silver Surfer. Will they be arriving soon, along with Dr. Doom? We shall see!!

On a quick note, it was cool seeing Abomination for the first time since The Incredible Hulk, and I am looking forward to seeing him in the She Hulk series!!
