Doctor Strange





BBFC rating 12
Released 25th October 2016
Directed by Scott Derrickson
After numerous Marvel films coming out for the last 8 years, Doctor Strange brings a new look into the spectrum of superhero films in the form of magic, unfortunately it wasn't as much as a break through as was hoped. The film is much too short to be trying to introduce a brand new character into a universe full of different ones, and leaves a lot of the characters underdeveloped, instead focusing on trying to fill in all the points it needed to, and focusing a lot on graphic design and effects, moving away from development of Doctor Strange himself. It got to a point at the end of the film where I didn't see Strange as a powerful sorcerer, but still just a trainee. It's the same issue with the main villain, which had a total screen time of around 10 minutes. However, the visuals are amazing, bring a lot of CGI into the mix to create visually challenging and gripping sequences that looks like inception on drugs, honestly it was dazzling. This isn't one of the worst MCU films, but it should have been much better than it was, but still had good entertainment in some areas.
Contains violence and mild bad language.
My rating 6/10 ( above average )

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...
