Happy Gilmore 2: Review

 This sequel doesn't hit the same as the original!

The story line was just not as funny or inspiring! The decision to kill off Virginia Venit was such a bad decision. The film just felt like it was lacking without her! Some of the jokes were really funny, but they were not laugh out loud funny like the original film! The golf scenes were not as fun either, which was a massive letdown.

Adam Sandler and Christopher McDonald were great, but they could only do so much! None of the other actors were as good, not even Ben Stiller, who was lacking his comedic timing!

The film should have solely focused on Happy Gilmore and his relationship with Virginia, and his rivalry with Shooter McGavin. I really wish Shooter had a more villainous role in this film! He barely even golfed either, which was dumb!

I do not want a sequel! They had 29 years to come up with a better film, and this was the best they could? Massive letdown!

The Fantastic Four: First Steps: Review

 The Fantastic Four: First Steps is truly a fantastic movie!

The film's story line was very well written. The scale of this movie was really good, and I enjoyed the tone very much, it felt a lot like The Incredibles. I really loved how well the dynamic was between the Fantastic Four. they really felt like a family in this movie. The film had a lot of heart, and I was glad that the jokes were written well, and that they didn't put them in at certain moments that were supposed to be very serious.

The acting was amazing! Pedro Pascal did a lot better than I was expecting as Reed Richards / Mister Fantastic, he brought a lot of vulnerability to the role, but he also brought out the genius of Reed Richards. Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm was perfect casting. She brought so much heart to the character, and she did a good job at portraying Sue as a mom. Joseph Quinn was easily the best actor in the film. He brought a lot of humor to his character, but they did a great job at showing how vulnerable he was as Johnny Storm. Ebon Moss-Bachrach brought a lot of heart to his role as Ben Grimm / The Thing as well, and I loved how they showcased how much he truly cared for the people of New York. Ralph Ineson was truly amazing as Galactus, his voice was so powerful, and his presence was truly felt in this role. Julia Garner did a great job as the Silver Surfer, and I liked that she wasn't so one dimensional in the role, and truly showed how much being the Silver Surfer had affected her.

The film's visuals and action scenes were just flat out amazing! The scenes where the Fantastic Four battled the Silver Surfer and Galactus were so good! This really felt like old school marvel had returned, in terms of the visuals and action scenes, and I am so hear for it.

The film's post credits scene clearly set up something major (Which I will get to later). In terms of a direct sequel to this movie, I am all for it. I am curious as to who the villain will be, because I know it will not be Doctor Doom, but I know that the Fantastic Four have plenty of villains to fight against in a sequel. I am open to seeing Galactus return, and I wouldn't mind seeing the male Silver Surfer in a future movie either.

The film's post credits scene set up Doctor Doom. I am now so looking forward to seeing Avengers: Doomsday opening night now! I now have a very good idea as to what the plot of Avengers: Doomsday is going to be, and I am actually very excited about it! Only Spider-Man: Brand New Day is left until Doomsday, and I have a gut feeling that Dr. Doom is going to show up at the end of that movie as well IMO.

Karate Kid: Legends: Review

 Karate Kid: Legends is a promising film, but it falls flat due to the familiar story line.

The story line in this film was very weak. While I thought it started out very promising, it ended up being a copy and paste of the original film, and even the 2010 version. Another problem with the film was that it did not have very good character development, which was a result of the short runtime! You needed more time to let certain moments breathe! The film was way too fast paced! The film also didn't have as much heart as the original film did, as well as the sequels, and the 2010 film, which again was the result of rushing the story line, and not letting it breathe.

The acting was good. Ben Wang did a great job, and managed to hold his own very well, I was also very glad that he was not a copy and paste of Daniel LaRusso or Dre Parker. Jackie Chan was very good also, loved the different side to him in this one. Ralph Macchio did a great job, despite the false advertising that he would play a huge role in this film. Joshua Jackson did a great job as well. Sadie Stanley was a very likeable character also. Ming-Na Wen was heavily underused, and was wasted, as was Wyatt Oleff.

The action scenes were really good, but they had too many cuts at certain points. It felt like I was watching Christopher Nolan do action scenes, but in a very bad way. Which was such a huge shame.

The humor in this film didn't miss. I was really laughing at all the jokes in this movie, especially the post credits scene with Johnny and Daniel!

I wouldn't mind a sequel, but please make the story line much better paced, and not a copy and paste of the original and the 2010 version. But, this just makes me want another season, or some kind of spinoff, of Cobra Kai, and very soon! I miss that show so much!

F1: Review

 A fun racing film that starts well and finishes strong!

The story line in this film was very fun! I loved that they actually had time to develop the characters. Sonny Hayes was such a great character that was impossible to hate. I loved that the humor in this film wasn't forced either. It was kind of cheesy with some of the dialogue, but that is such a small problem! The film also had a few twists that I was not expecting, which I really liked.

The acting in this movie was really good. Brad Pitt did a great job as usual, and looked like he had a very fun time. Javier Bardem was very entertaining, and you felt bad for him in so many scenes. Damson Idris played a great role as well, you didn't like him at first, but you warmed up to him as the film went on. Kerry Condon's performance was good as well, she was such a good addition to the crew, and I loved how she made the most with her character.

The racing scenes in this film were exhilarating! I really wish I could've seen this movie at the IMAX screen. I was holding my breath in so many scenes, and I am very proud of how Joseph Kosinski managed to make them memorable. He does not miss on his action scenes, just look at Tron: Legacy, and Top Gun: Maverick. Really impressed with how he managed to do this!

They definitely left it open for a sequel. I would love to see this crossover with Days of Thunder, and I see how they could do it!
