Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace



Released: 1999
Rated:PG
When the news dropped that there would be another Star Wars, people were all excited for what was to come. However it didn't really turn out like that. The main problem is that it is generally pretty boring for most of the film. And the thing is, that's not what was supposed to happen. Like, if I said there was a star wars film with Liam Neeson, Ewan McGregor and Samuel L Jackson, it would turn out pretty well, but that is not the case. The film is mainly just politics and talking (Theo's random politics area), followed by an occasional plot movement followed by people jumping with lightsabers. The other problem is the actual script for the film. It is just so bland, bearing in mind this is BEFORE Hayden Christiansen.  The only good part to the film was Darth maul, and he's only in it for about 20 minutes. If you where planning on watching a Star Wars film, please refrain from this one first, come back to it later.
Contains mild violence
My rating : 6.5

Top Gun: Maverick

Image
 Released: May 27th 2022 Directed By: Joseph Kosinski Cast: Tom Cruise, Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm, Charles Parnell Legacy movies seem to be all the rage these days (Past massive cinematic universes that is). Some of pulled it off really well, with films like Blade Runner 2049 almost being better than the original, some not so well like independence day resurgence, some being a bit of fun to pass off as alright with Jurassic World, and some being The Force Awakens. How these movies do well is another story, now though the latest movie to try its hand at a legacy reboot is Top Gun. No matter what you think of the original it is fair to say that the cultural impact and quotability is much greater than any plot point in the originals story, with not much to go on past some manliness and jet fighters. Top Gun 2 however is a completely different story. From the get go you know the stakes are higher and actually manages to make the "fish out of water" old guard trope...

Deadpool 2

Image
Released 16th May 2018 BBFC rating 15 Directed by David Leitch Cast: Ryan Reynolds, Josh Brolin, Morena Baccarin, Julian Dennison, Zazie Beetz After the overwhelming success of the first Deadpool film, the second instalment was inevitable, with the same formula that made the first one great. The film revolves around Wade Wilson, AKA Deadpool ( Reynolds ) attempting to save Firefist ( Dennison ) from time travelling assassin Cable ( Brolin ). While using similar ideas and call-backs to the first film, this one feels completely different, and in some senses more like Deadpool than before, filled with more references and nit pics to Dc than before, and arguably better action. The film also remembers to not take itself too seriously like the other one did, with more events in the film which try and mess with the timeline as much as possible without caring about the outcome. Overall the film does well to be entertaining, maybe more so than the last one, keeping good action flowing thr...
