Ghostbusters 2016 Review

So the new Ghostbusters movie is finally out and was it the terrible movie that everyone would rather pull their own eyes out then watch. No its not, it was a really good film, one that Paul Feig and the rest of the cast should really be proud of. Especially after their uphill battle after the first trailer was released.  

I have to admit I was one of the people against this movie. Not for the fact it was a female cast, but instead I didn’t like the look of the ghosts, look to cartoony. Also I just didn’t want another 80’s reboot. However I was completely wrong and should have had more faith in Paul Feig creating some of the best comedies of the decade, and he did deliver. By the end of the film I did like the look of the ghosts, and they are moments of true terror because of them.

What is truly great about this film is the chemistry between all four of the Ghostbusters. All of them being fantastic, Mellissa McCarthy and Kristen Wigg being the experienced comedy brining a great bound and were brilliantly entertaining, and the true heart of the movie. The other two Ghostbusters members were the true stars of the laughs, Kate McKinnon brought such a wacky edge to this film, as Jillian Holtzmann. Leslie Jones deserves just as much recognition, acting as the audience view, as Patty Tolan using her brass and quick wit making some classic movie references that got some great laughs. Chirs Hemsworth, that famous action hero who literally plays a god you couldn’t possibly imagine him ever playing the dump but loveable Kevin. Kevin himself is not the most believable character, but through Hemsworth’s portrayal I was completely convinced that he could be a bumbling fool showing his great range as an actor.

Cameos were a happy welcome from fans of the original, seeing some of the great cast members return in funny and interesting ways, and even seeing some of the classic ghost making a return, especially Slimer as it wouldn’t be the same without him. Finding that nice mix of remake but still making those nods of the original.

However don’t get me wrong this movie is by no means perfect. There are some pacing issues that does make the film seem longer than it actually is. Also a bit too much techno talk that does cause slight moments of confusion. The worst sin this movie makes is the remake of the classic Ray Parker Jr, Ghostbusters track. Fall Out Boys featuring Missy Elliot’s is terrible and the only crime against this movie. However once it did the instrumental version of the classic Ghostbusters track, I was pump enough for the finally third of the movie. I will also say that the villain’s build up was very weak but improved as the plot developed.

Good film and if you like classic 80’s family movies, like the original Ghostbusters then you’re bound to like this movie, a remake that leaves us wanting more.

Daredevil: Regrets Only

This episode began with some fantastic fight choreography, showing us just how well Daredevil and Elektra work well together just like the comic books. As I’ve said before there is such a great realism to this series that I love. I’m liking the portrayal of Elektra, and think this Netflix show has nailed the character, it’s like watching her straight from the comic. The ending to this fight is just pure Elektra, only seeing the fun in the chaos.

Elodie Yung definitely has done her research in the character and it shows. An accurately depiction of Frank Miller’s Daredevil: The Man without Fear series, fun, dangerous, charming and slightly insane. Her chemistry with Charlie Cox is brilliant, you truly believe these two have had a history, and Charlie Cox does have a distain for Elektra. However, they both show that there is an undertones of attraction.

This episode was not as great as the others I’ve seen so far. However they’re are some highlights, we get to see Nelson and Murdock in action. Showing us the lawyer side of Matt Murdock, using his knowledge and skills of precedent in order to help within the law. Nice to see that Marvel are highlighting his day job. Something we don’t seem to see too often within the Marvel Universe. Also the reason why I thought Jessica Jones was missing something, I feel it was the lacked actual detective work. I’m glad Daredevil are taking the risk to go down the lawyer route, to give us another narrative type to enjoy. We are also given another Jon Berthnal monologue that gives such humanity to Frank Castle that truly has been missing in other portrayals of The Punisher.

The infiltration of the Yakuza was interesting watching as you see Matt use his powers, much more than we’ve ever seen. What was great was his blindness becomes a superpower in itself, as no one suspects that the blind guy could be causing this amount of trouble, allows Matt to travel around almost invisible. Glad Marvel are using his blindness more as a skill rather than an incapacity. Daredevil is a true inspiration to not only disable people but to everyone, showing us that you don’t have to be defined by your inabilities, but by your determination and knowledge. I myself am dyslexic, and it did cause me some issues growing up, but superheroes like Daredevil showed me I won’t be defined by my learning difficulty, but instead on the work I present on its merits alone.  

The thing that let this episode down I feel was Foggy Nelson, nothing to do with Elden Henson’s performance. Again I feel it’s because he’s falling into the trap he had last season, he’s becoming the annoying wife. We want to watch Matt be Daredevil and save the day, but Foggy keeps acting against Matt’s ideologies of saving people. Even in the confines of the law, which is the bassist of their friendship. Very good episode but had problems, parts just seemed rather boring.

Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice Review

Just got back from Batman V Superman, before I say anything I want people to know I love DC. I don’t prefer them over Marvel, if you check my comic book collection I have more DC comics. So just so everyone knows I'm completely unbiased. Good now I've put that disclaimer, prepare because I'm not going to be generous. Tried to avoid spoilers but if you feel I have, I apologies in advance, but you were warned.

Better start with what was good about it first. Those who doubted Ben Affleck as Batman, please swallow your humble pie because he was a brilliant Batman. To some extent I’d say the best live action Batman. He was brutal, commanding and powerful, watching him fight reminded me of action sequences seen within the comic-books and the Arkham games, taking out enemies quickly and effectively. Ben Affleck truly was Bruce Wayne, showing us a much older and aggressive hero making us believe in a Batman that would truly be angry and immeasurably determined to beat the Man of Steel, for the greater good, but also showing his vulnerability throughout. Affleck should be very proud, of his part in this movie. 

The rest of the cast were also fantastic, Henry Cavill brought another great performance of the Man of Steel, which I thought was a highlight from that movie. Gal Gadot was amazing, she truly was Diana Prince and now am truly excited to watch the Wonder Woman solo movie. The characteristics she added such as her accent and having been much more experience as a past hero who gave up on saving a world that is always consumed by war. Seemed to work and watching her in action was visually fascinating, looked awesome and she was believable as an experienced fighter.

Amy Adams was great, but when is she not. The chemistry she had with Henry Cavill transferred nicely to this movie. The only problem is I would like a Lois Lane that doesn't need saving all the time, and would prefer her to be a bit more capable of looking after herself. I mean her father was an Army general I imagine she must know some self-defence of some kind, but she still was resourceful and it’s nice to know their thinking about that. When it comes to secondary characters though no one was better than Jeremy Irons, such good casting and he didn't disappoint. A true legend on screen, and a much different Alfred then anything we've ever seen before. Experience in all computer science, robotics, he’s basically a human Swiss army knife. With true chemistry with Ben Affleck, not only his butler, sidekick, but also his guardian and moral compass. You believe their relationship and it shows that these two have been through the wars since their battle on crime began. Their bound is stronger than any other Alfred’s we've seen before. However I do like Michael Kane’s Alfred just as much, for different reasons.

Now to the bad things, the first would be the editing. It felt like there was fast pacing in the wrong places trying to set things up but not going deep enough, then cutting quickly to the next part. There were parts that didn't need to be in there and made the film just seemed a lot longer then needed. The story just bounced to different parts it seemed impossible to gain any insight with the characters. I will say this though visually it look amazing, and there are truly moments that are fantastic, and why I think there is potential in this movie. However it’s the classic Zack Synder thing of sustains over substance. Also the music seemed to be edited in the wrong places, and I don’t think it was Hans Zimmer’s strongest work.

Never truly been a fan of Synder, I like 300 but that about it. Visually brilliant, but they always seems to be a lot missing in all his films. Turns out this one it’s the story, but you can see there is great possibility in this movie, there just try and fit so much into it. There is a potential for a great Batman film, a Man of Steel 2 and a Wonder Woman movie, but this film just try mashed them all together, plus with some Justice League been thrown in and it just created a massive mess of not knowing what film it was trying to be. Also way to dark, and too many dream sequences for it to seem relevant.

The Doomsday design I didn't like it, he did seem like a grey ninja turtle and Synder just toss in powers that seemed cool, but made no sense. The CGI on Doomsday did seem slightly weak, and I didn't see the point of Doomsday being there, in a movie that is Batman V Superman. Which I'm going to say hardly much fighting between the two heroes, compared to what was expected from the title. Not only did they mess up one villain, but Lex Luthor was also ruined. He was rather annoying he kept jumping from genius to absolutely bonkers, he seemed too crazy for him to be believable. Jesse Eisenberg was just way over the top, and just didn’t land. Hardly the intimidating genius villain we know he can be, he didn’t even seem to be that much of a threat.

Please Warner Brothers, let Zack Snyder go and work on other projects. He’d would be perfect for documentaries, and bring in directors that know how to handle the material. Now to Zack Snyder, who was quoted to have said his vision is similar to the comic books, that’s why people don’t like them. Mr Snyder have you ever read a comic book, because it truly doesn’t feel like that in your work. When people say your work isn’t good, don’t reply, well I read the comics so I know the characters better then you. Guess what the majority of people that read the comics, do not like your work. This is from someone who, gave you the benefit of the doubt and tried to find the best in this movie. I wanted to love this movie, I really did. I just couldn’t. Also if you think the trailers ruined everything in this movie, you’re not far wrong.

Batman V Superman. Can we get a redo.

Daredevil: Kinbaku

Finally meet the second character we were promised in this series and we were not disappointed. Yes Electra, Marvel have nailed this character and Elodie Yung should be very proud of her performance with this episode.

A master piece of a depiction of the Frank Miller version of the character truly beautiful. Elodie Yung brings everything that makes Elektra such a compelling anti-hero. She brought that killer instinct, sense of excitement, who enjoys the mayhem she causes. Just like the classic comic-books. However, were Elektra is strongest is her clear chemistry with Charlie Cox which would have been a major factor for this TV portrayal. As Daredevil and Elektra are a captivating couple within their comics, as there is a love there but their relationship destroys them both because their moralities and beliefs are completely different. Watching the two interact was just fantastic, as the line between love and caution is blurred, between their past and present.

Talking of their past, Charlie Cox is a fantastic actor, and he proves he was perfect casting for Matt Murdock. Especially in the flashbacks within this episode, were he plays a younger Murdock. You can see there is a clear difference from a younger Matt much more reckless, charming and more nonchalant. However just enough to make him plausible, especially the final moments during the flashback, showing the classic catholic boy we all know and love.

Liking the fact we are getting a few references to the other Netflix shows, from Claire Temple discussing Luke Cage, and Marci mentioning Jessica Jones. Glad to see the bones of the Defenders beginning to form, also glad the references don’t seem forced, and Easter eggs are always fun. Also their do appear to be a triangle forming between Matt, Foggy and Karen. It seems refreshing to have a realistic take on this dynamic. Of being the third wheel in a relationship, as Foggy just grimes and bears his feelings, even though he has feeling for Karen. He’s happy for his friend, but still feels upset that she’s chosen Matt. A completely realistic reaction and I’m sure we’ve all can relate to. Liked this episode and it show how awesome this cast truly is.  

Daredevil: Penny and Dime

Marvel are nailing this series, and in my last review I said the last episode New York’s Finest was by far the best comic book TV episode I’ve ever watched. However I was not expecting the next episode Penny and Dime to be just as fantastic if not better.

This episode was brilliant and it’s all thanks to Jon Bernthal. Frank Castle showed us how resourceful and determined he truly is. Using all his skills to cause mayhem, and what was interesting is the way him and Daredevil have created a small bromance. Even though there have their differences, there is some banter between the two. Highlighting that Murdock although has his reservations about the Punisher, he understands that Hell’s Kitchen could create a person like Frank Castle. This was clearly shown most during Jon Bernthal’s monologue which was just beautifully done.

Bernthal showed such emotion and sorrow, that you truly feel for the mad homicidal maniac. Similar to the insane Shane, from the Walking Dead, but Bernthal has develop his acting to allow him to create a much more likable character. I’m glad he’s doing such an amazing job on Daredevil, because I am a huge fan of his and would love to see him play Frank Castle in his own series.

When we reach the climax to this episode, we see Matt, Foggy and Karen returning to normal back at Josie’s. Then we see Matt and Karen finally shared an emotional scene, I liked the subtlety they use for the couple as it is much more believable, and just for a second it appears that everything is fine. This been Daredevil though the fun has only just begun, and it turns out someone from Matt’s past has returned to cause trouble. She may have only been on screen for a few seconds, but she seems to have got under Matt Murdock’s skin. Another great episode filled with emotion and action and can only get better.

Daredevil: New York’s Finest

Straight into this episode it gives the sense it was building to something truly epic. As the Daredevil and Punisher finally meet face to face, creating beautiful tension that the series is well known for. As both men discuss their own ideologies while trying to prove the others is wrong.

Let’s just get straight into this episode and talk about the best part. Before this series launch the creators said that we’d see something similar to the corridor scene in series 1 episode 2, as that was a true highlight from the last season. However their never said it would be that, but so much more. Not only did it show how Matt Murdock has progressed as a fighter from series 1, who was struggling to defeat all those goons, to now beating bad guys like a true ninja. Beautifully shot and well-choreographed, truly shows how well grounded Marvel has made this show. Also showing us that, even when the stakes are dead against him the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen will always fight for what is right.

Finally getting a much better picture of Jon Berthnal’s Frank Castle, getting to know the characters personalities and individualities. Bernthal has taken from what he learned from Walking Dead as Shane, developing those character traits and frankly perfecting them. Truly created something fresh and appropriate to the character. My God what a badass, truly insane, intense and a portrayal fans can be proud of, thank you Jon Bernthal. What I like about the character is they are behaviours that show he once was a normal person once, the way he talks to the old vet, and his flask. All point to a man that once had an ordinary life. In a sense what he says has some truth in it, we all could only be one bad day from being the Punisher. Frank Castle proves that, as the show is shrouded in realism, everyone on Daredevil should be applauded for creating a Punisher that is truly relatable and believable. Can’t wait to see what he does next.

I am glad the Netflix shows take from the comic books, as the best comicbook TV shows and movies don’t shy away from the original material. Recreating the iconic scene were Daredevil is chained to a wall by the Punisher. Forcing him to shoot him to save a criminal’s life. The whole conversation between the two was passionate and an interesting study on morality. Both opinions having some respectable points, but both come with some hard consequences. I’m going to say it, I think this is the best TV comic book episode I’ve ever seen.

Daredevil: Dogs to a Gunfight 

Second episode just watched and this season is gaining momentum, as it hits the audience very hard. My only hope is it keeps this intensity and allows the season to not only breathe, but also keep the energy that it’s already gained. As I fine that was the problem with Daredevil season 1 and Jessica Jones, were I love the shows but they are episodes that are stronger than others. So I just hope it keeps up the high standards in every episode.

In this this episode we were given a much better look into Jon Bernthal’s Punisher. The fans finally get a Punisher they deserve. The first scene in which he’s in this episode just summed up the character instantly. Always calculated, intense and intimidating. The moment Castle hears something he doesn’t like, no matter what, where he is, or what time of day it is. That person will be punished for their deeds, so yes just from this one scene Bernthal has easily brought us the best version of the Punisher. True to the comics, while adding his own spin to the character. I thought this was brilliant casting, from the actors who worked on the Walking Dead, and it turns out I was right in my assumption. 

Both Charlie Cox and Deborah Ann Woll were fantastic in this episode, as Matt and Karen. Dealing with the new ramifications of the new antagonists, while at the same time both having mixed responsibilities for creating the Punisher. Karen feeling guilty for her crimes in seasons one, while Matt lives in denial that he may have inspired the actions of Frank Castle. 

A great episode that was action pack while showing us that the law isn’t always right, as we meet the new DA. Showing that the system is corrupt and Matt and Foggy don’t have to not only fight the crime on the streets, but the people in their professional careers as lawyers. It is great to see that Nelson and Murdock are still working within the law. 

Another great episode and were only two episodes in. I can’t wait to see how it all plays out and from what I've seen it can only get better. I do hope Frank Castle gets his own spin off show because that would be fantastic. 

Daredevil: Bang

It’s finally returned, the best Marvel show comes back with season 2 and did it come back with a bang. Well the episode is called “Bang” so if it didn’t it would have been very ironic. A great start to the series and can only get better especially when we’ve only got a taste of Jon Bernthal’s Punisher.

Just so you know, I will review each episode as and when I watch them just because I’m busy, at the moment, but I will get through them as best I can. Daredevil was beautifully shot amazing cinematography to begin, as Matt takes down criminals around Hell Kitchen. So intense and gives us a great reintroduction of the character. What we do learn is how Foggy and Matt’s relationship has developed since the events of last season. Keeping the friendly banter and chemistry their both known for, however what was interesting was the juxtaposition of when discussing his Daredevil activities. The conversation quickly turns one of bleakness and concern, showing how their friendship has progressed since last we saw them.

Last season the person that I felt could have done with much more character expansion was Foggy. It had nothing to do with Elden Henson performance, it’s more about the writing. Foggy he seemed to either be funny or angry. Now in this episode there does seem to be a much nicer blend to the character and he was very compelling, with much more emotion. Especially when he was trying to help by putting himself in danger, but this being Foggy Nelson you known its bound to be comical and intense, which makes you feel more apprehension for the character.

The ending was fantastic and I nearly went crazy to watch the next episode. However I managed to restrained myself, to write this review. I must say this about Daredevil that this series has some amazing fight scenes. Much better then Arrow’s, I feel this is because of the realism within the show that you feel the power of every punch and kick, especially in the ending battle. I know Arrow is obviously restrained to a main stream audience not to be too violent, but the fights in Daredevil just seem more real. When our heroes are beat up, you believe they are in pain.

We saw the Punisher, and he is already, the amazing badass we all hoped for, even though the majority was in close ups and we didn’t see his face completely on shot. From this we saw that he was an unforgiving, concentrated and calculated. I feel he is the perfect antagonist for Daredevil, after the events of season 1, I feel both ideologies of the Marvel heroes will be explored. I feel the audience will be able to see the Punisher’s point of view, while doubting even Matt’s as he sees some turmoil in his own beliefs. Interesting to see that Marvel are taking risks and allowing us to see the antagonist straight away, unlike Kingpin or Kilgrave. Showing us their changing things up, and make just as much of an impact.  

Been watching this new series called Lucifer, I know not a Superhero show. However it is based loosely on a comic book, by Neil Gaiman, so I’m taking slight liberties. I must say I had my doubts that this would be a struggle to transfer to the screen, but it is very well made, and Tom Ellis is fantastic in the role. I just worry it will go the way of Constantine, and not make the ratings and will be cancelled, even though that show was awesome. I hope not because the last episode looks like going to get much darker place.

Were its strengths lie is truly Tom Ellis, well known in my country, in such shows as Miranda, Doctor Who and Merlin. Very diverse in both comedy and drama, he appears to be born to play the devil. He truly makes you believe he is Satan, and he has such a charm that I think we all would be tempted by. It doesn’t hurt that he is a very handsome man.

The other cast members are strong, particularly Lesley-Ann Brandt, who plays Mazikeen. She plays a complete badass, who’s sort of Lucifer’s pet, who acts as his body guy on Earth. What I like about her is she truly loves Lucifer and it clearly shows, but then there is a tension between the two as the story unfolds, and you don’t truly know her overall plan. Second would be Lauren German’s, Chloe Decker who acts as Lucifer’s straight man, and partner who will take none of Lucifer’s bravado. Both women work well with Ellis and all three actors are truly worth watching, just for their interactions as performers.

Arrow: Taken 

This week we see the live action introduction of Vixen, as she helps Oliver try and retrieve his son from Damien Darhk. Good episode as Oliver tries to get his son back, while handling the aftermath of not telling everyone his existence. At least this episode explains why Felicity isn’t returning Barry’s calls, imagine she’s going to return the Flash quite angry.

This episode was good thanks to the new introduction of Vixen, I thought she gave a fantastic performance, played by Megalyn Echikunwoke, who also lent her voice to the character in the Vixen in the TV miniseries. Thought she did a brilliant job, and gave a very believable performance, as voice acting, is a lot different to truly portraying the character in live action. She did a great job and glad Arrow allowed her to develop that character in live action. Hope we see her again, I know Vixen has got another animated series coming out this year, wouldn’t surprise me if we see her in another episode in either Flash or Arrow. However, I feel she would possibly be one of the characters that stars in DC Legends of Tomorrow.

Talking of DC Legends of Tomorrow, did anyone catch the little Easter egg of Oliver explaining where John Constantine is? May have just been a throwaway line, but he’s in Hell. Which makes me think that the CW have got plans for the character, I’m not going to say he’s getting his own series on the CW, but I imagine he will be in series 2 of DC Legends of Tomorrow. Taking the team to all the supernatural worlds of the DC world. This would be great as I’m sure we’ll see a Swamp Thing, the Spectre and Zatana because that would be amazing.  

Damien Darhk truly showed us how cunning and devious he is. This is what we’ve been waiting for we finally get to see how powerful he can be. Taking down Green Arrow and Vixen and making them look like child play. As ever he did his I’m the bad guy routine, but I feel the character has developed over the season and there does seem to be a slight cockiness and a charm to the character. I feel Neal McDonough has brought us a new villain we can get behind, and can’t wait to see how he progresses, especially after the events of this week’s episode.

As ever the action sequences were good, I just feel this episode showed how much this show has become some kind of soap opera. Oliver has a problem that he needs to face, so now everyone else around him needs to have a problem, like Thea and Michael Merlyn, and Laurel needing to have her own troubles. Once again we see the on and off again relationship of Oliver and Felicity, I feel Arrow is great with emotion but is getting slightly tiresome. Love the show, I just feel a little bit more action and only use emotion when it’s relevant to the actually story. Not just so the audience have to tune in next week, to see if Oliver and Felicity will finally be in a relationship. Season 2, was the best example of what the audience want.

The Flash: King Shark

This episode was absolutely fantastic, we saw John Diggle return to the Flash helping Barry out, with his wife Lyla, now the head of A.R.G.U.S. They however were not the only recurring characters to make an appearance. Of course it was the return of King Shark, after his amazing cameo in The Fury of Firestorm. Was such fan service that there had to give the villain his own episode to truly shine, and you bet he didn’t disappoint.

What was fantastic about this episode was truly the special effects. The SFX team did a brilliant job bringing King Shark to life. He looked amazing, and as villains go he was pretty ruthless and powerful. He was well used and glad that the Flash like to take risks with both King Shark and Grodd. Villains that shouldn’t work, because of budget but definitely do. That’s because there use them very well, thanks to great writing, and special effects using the small budget and making wonders on screen, very well done to them.

David Ramsey returns to the Flash as John Diggle, known for his work on Arrow, and one of my favourite characters from that show. John Diggle, is a great character to appear on the Flash becomes he acts like an audience member, who can’t believe the crazy world of the Flash. He is truly amazed by Barry’s powers, reminding me of Felicity in earlier seasons of Arrow. Great acting from David Ramsey and the more David Ramsey we see the better, and it was great to see him act alongside Audrey Marie Anderson, who plays Lyla, out of their comfort zone, and seeing what their relationship is like without the Arrow team. That’s why I love the suicide squad missions they used to go on.  

Everyone else on the Flash was fantastic as ever. Especially Keiyan Lonsdale, who showed us his best acting since arriving on the Flash. The way he talked to Barry in those scenes cut quite deep, I myself felt I was being told off. Now I can’t wait to see his character develop, and can see the CW picked the right actor, to portray Wally West. Of course as ever Jesse L. Martin, gave another great performance, as Joe West. Using his fatherly charms on both his sons, and conveying to the audience that he loves them and can bring out the best in both of them. Grant Gustin was also brilliant showing the audience that the events on Earth-2 did effect Barry Allen. His speech to Joe and Iris showed us so much emotion, that he showed us that he is a hero but also a normal person, with emotion who cares. 

Danielle Panabaker, once again was great in this episode, showing us how cold and effected she was after Jay’s death. What was the most interesting in her performance was how she change her demeanour into Killer Frost, then straight back into Caitlin. Showing us she is a very versatile actress. However, I would like to see our Caitlin, maybe have a bit more of a darker side to her, because it did seem to suit her.

Fantastic episode, could not really fault it. I feel though the Flash must have heard me last week, about my complaints of the cliff-hanger last week. Only joking obviously, but they've made up for it in this weeks, given us a cliff-hanger that makes us want more, as our questions have only grown. Yes the revelation of Zoom identity was revealed and its one of the most interesting cliff-hangers you may ever see. Go watch it.

Bonkers idea, never going to happen ever, just thought it’d be funny and slightly out there. If Marvel and Fox ever came together and allowed both their universe’s to come together as one. I think I’ve cracked it, to allow this crazy idea to happen, and they don’t lose their history in each of their timelines. Deadpool is the key, he and Cable are fighting a villain, having difficulty beating.…
