What an amazing rollercoaster ride this film was. Such an unexpected surprise. Just when you thought they couldn’t top the previous film, they did with volume 3!
While this film is fun and adventurous, it is most definitely not suitable for children. So perhaps leave the kiddos at home and screen this one before letting them view it. The film is a bit intense and the little ones may not be ready to see some of the scenes.
Now on to the juicy details! While I’d love to discuss the film entirely, I don’t want to spoil it for you so I’ll give an over view. The film does seem to be an origins film of our favorite little furry friend, Rocket played by Bradley Cooper. Although we’ve always known Rocket had a rough start, never could we have imagined he lived and survived through the hell he went through. We also never knew he was such a sought after genius, which you will come to see in this film. We meet his friends who were like him and how they played a role in him becoming what he is.
As for our beloved Star Lord and his beloved Gamora, it’s something he still grasps on to for dear life, but as you will see things just don’t go the way you’d hope. we do still have all our guardians and even more play a part in the film.
Overall, like I stated on the beginning… this film is a must watch full of laughter, action AND TEARS! Yes! TEARS! Who would have ever thought that there could be a film to cause tears after the death of Ironman in End Game. The film was amazingly written and directed to keep your attention. The only suggestion I could recommend is to watch The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special to be up to date. Also there are two end credit scenes, so don’t leave right away!
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is a fun film, but I honestly can't see viewers watching it more than once. It's a good adventure with a touch of adventure, action and a bit of comedy.
The heroes of the film, Paul Rudd and his daughter Cassie are a dynamic duo that gives us that family feel. Yes, we've seen Cassie in past films, but she takes on a bigger role in this film. We come to learn more about Janet and her time away. She had an appealing story arc and it was great to see that she was experienced with Kang and surprisingly scared by him. Hank was great but it seemed like a he took the backseat for the majority of the film. He did have some key parts towards the end of the film, which I was glad to see, it will give you goosebumps.
Now as for the villain in the film, Jonathon Major as Kang The Conqueror, he did a superb job. He nailed it. From being a comedic He Who Remains, to being this extremely scary and menacing Kang was pretty badass. He was a lost soul stuck in the Quantum Realm... but his anger and ambitions turn him to be pure evil. When you compare Kang and Thanos, Kang is just pure evil while Thanos is just a broken villain driven by greed. Kangs lines matched the vibe perfectly, because it was like watching a Shakespearean god crash and burn. The man has no soul, as he kills people and destroys homes without giving it a thought. As for MODOK, he seemed out of place because he really didn't have a connection with Kang. It was almost like, 'Hey we have this character we haven't seen in a while, let's just toss him into the mix'. But you do have to admit, the little time he had in the film, he was pretty funny on his own.
The CGI, Cinematography and ACTION SCENES were all great, sometimes the story felt out of place and there was a lot unnecessary characters in it. To be honest, throughout the film you're left wondering... Where is the Wasp? It's almost like a wasted character in this film.
It's amazing to see how there is a society of people in the Quantum Realm and they all fear Kang as if he is some type of god. At times, I felt like I was watching a wannabe Star Wars flick. I will say you do have a final battle to look forward to as it was BRUTAL. This could be the biggest we've seen Ant Man become. It was great to see him enraged with anger as he stormed through the citadel. It's safe to say we haven't see the last of Ant-Man and he's sure to play a key role in Avengers 5 and 6 with Kang.
With that said, don't think you've seen the last of Kang. Keep in mind there are two credit scenes you'll want to stick around for.
After the release of the latest Doctor Strange flick this summer, everyone was anticipating the release of the latest Thor flick! It’s safe to say Marvel fans will not be disappointed.
It’s definitely a must-see filled with action by some of your favorite superheroes along with some new ones along for the ride. If you loved some of the quirkiness in Thor: Ragnarok, you will love this one, because it us packed with the cheesy but funny jokes.
Don’t get me wrong, the film has it’s great action scenes and even dark and dreary scenes that are creepy and done pretty well by Christian Bale; you forget it’s him portraying this icky creep.
Throughout the film, you will be surprised to see who makes cameos which makes the film just that much better because it’s appearances you least expected doing the things you least expect. It’s just fantastic.
While the film is titled Thor, it’s safe to say the movie is more centered around Natalie Portman and Christian Bale’s characters. Both played incredible parts and carried the film on their shoulders. Perhaps the biggest stars of the film were the children and to not give away too much, you will just have to wait and see!
Overall, just get out and see it theaters. It’s full of laughs, emotions, heart and action! You won’t be disappointed.
Marvel Studios’ “Thor: Love and Thunder” finds the God of Thunder (Chris Hemsworth) on a journey unlike anything he’s ever faced – a search for self-discovery. But Thor’s retirement is interrupted by a galactic killer known as Gorr the God Butcher (Christian Bale), who seeks the extinction of the gods. To combat the threat, Thor enlists the help of King Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson), Korg (Taika Waititi) and ex-girlfriend Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), who – to Thor’s surprise – inexplicably wields his magical hammer, Mjolnir, as the Mighty Thor. Together, they embark upon a harrowing cosmic adventure to uncover the mystery of the God Butcher’s vengeance and stop him before it’s too late. Directed by Taika Waititi (“Thor: Ragnarok,” “Jojo Rabbit”) and produced by Kevin Feige and Brad Winderbaum, “Thor: Love and Thunder” opens in U.S. theaters July 8, 2022.
In what you will probably consider the darkest Marvel film, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness showcases Marvel magic meets ‘The Walking Dead’ with a taste of wizardry.
Now just so you know, if you haven’t caught up on all the Marvel films and Disney+ shows, especially Wandavision the don’t bother watching this film because you will be completely lost.
With the film being directed by Sam Raimi, you’re definitely getting bizarre weirdness and major drama. That’s just what you get with Benedict Cumberbatch and especially Elizabeth Olsen. Now their acting chops are on point, no way you can take that away from them. But at some point it did seem like there was entirely too much going on in the film, perhaps this story could have been told in a series as opposed to a film. There was a lot more backstory going on and then cameos form different characters being made, that you had to stop and think to connect the dots. I feel like those circumstances might deter people away from the film and perhaps even the Marvel franchise. When it gets too confusing and too complicated for the general public to comprehend, the just lose interest.
Now me personally being a Marvel fan and following all the stories and back stories, I didn’t have a problem with the film because obviously I understand it and everyone’s purpose. The visual effects are out of this world and are exactly what I’d expect for a multiverse of madness setup… it was all MADNESS!
It’s quite fitting that this is probably the strangest Marvel movie in the entire franchise, because right off the bat the film begins with Doctor Strange running from a fire demon in a CG-psychedelic cosmic realm, then moving on to various universes in an adventure that includes mystical mountain fortresses, evil versions of your favorite characters, a even magical musical duel. Don’t forget, I mentioned ‘The Walking Dead’ in the beginning because yes… you will see zombies.
Don’t worry it’s not all horror and zombies because there is an emotional side mixed in to the film that many will relate to, making all the characters seem human. They want what we all desire in life… love and companionship despite saving the world.
Remember the last time we saw Doctor Strange was in Spider-Man: No Way Home, where he was trying to help Peter live the simpler life where no one knew who he was outside of his circle. We all know how that one ended. We’ve waiting long enough to see the story continue for Wanda after she lost the love of her life Vision and then everything that happened in Wandavision, fans will be pleased with the outcome of this film and for what’s to come. Make sure you stay for the two end credit scenes! So many surprises!!!
