I'm the Captain Now


Another shit movie review,(shit as in my review not the film)

So yesterday I went to see Captain Marvel and if you read my last post you'll know it was one of my most anticipated films of this year. I went to go see it on Friday but my cinema was closed and then on Saturday I was busy getting drunk at the park so it had to be Sunday.

 I kept myself updated with the controversies surrounding the film (controversies quite similar to the most recent Star Wars movie). People were boycotting the film due to its 'feminist agenda', but I like to make up my own mind, and after watching, I really didn't get any vibes of any sort of agenda, however, for me the movie isn't without issues.

I'll start off with the good

The relationship between  Nick Fury and Captain Marvel (Samuel L Jackson and Brie Larson) was entertaining but the relationship between Nick Fury and the cat was perhaps my favourite part of the whole film (apart from one aspect i'll mention in the negatives).

Normally, superhero origin films drag, but as the film used a technique similar to Deadpool, by having her already 'powered up' and using flashbacks, the film seemed to move quickly and consistently.

the cast, humour, music and action scenes were all entertaining, but compared to other Marvel films, I've definitely seen better.

I'd also say there are two main twists in the film, and both of them did surprise me but I can imagine people being able to figure them out easily.

and now the bad

Every so often Marvel will throw out a film that acts as filler until a main bigboi film, and sometimes these can be incredible (Thor Ragnarok, Captain America: The Winter Soldier), but this film for me sits among the average (Ant-Man and the Wasp, Doctor Strange and Guardians of the Galaxy 2).

Also, as for the character of Captain Marvel, Brie Larson does a great job but she is sometimes quite dull and is RIDICULOUSLY overpowered by the end of the film. Which has perhaps taken away any real threat from Avengers Endgame because she should be able to stop Thanos easily by the looks of things. It's no fun to watch a hero who has no weaknesses, the film lacks suspense. 

My next few critiques contain spoilers so if you haven't seen it yet cya bye catch you later

The fact  Nick Fury loses his eye to the cat is ridiculous and totally ruins the badassery of this scene in Captain America: The Winter Soldier 
like, he was scratched by a cat??? Also ruins him saying 'Last time I trusted someone I lost an eye'.

And am not gonna get into him coming up with getting the name  'Avengers' from a photograph, that was information that never needed justified and they did it in a really stupid way.

Overall, I liked it, not amazing not bad, good time defo recommend but understand peoples complaints.

Regards,
Zach

iT's My oPiNiOn!!!

Ranking MCU films from worst to best, yes because I need content but also because I'm boreeeeed. Two posts in one week, I'm so good to my fans. But yeah I'm bored, read so many other article's rankings and I'm in complete disagreement with them all so thought I'd write my own. You'll probably disagree with my ranking but like the title says it's my opinion. Plus I've never been wrong in my life. Here we go, perhaps slight spoilers? I won't spoil Endgame but the rest I'm allowed to. 22. The Incredible Hulk (2008) Meh, was good at the time, hasn't aged particularly well, Mark Ruffalo is better and the Hulk is better as a side character, I don't believe he should have his own movie. However, if they made a 'Planet Hulk' movie I would be fully invested. 21. Thor: The Dark World (2013) Back when Thor wasn't a fun character, a rather boring film, shit villains, no wonder Natalie Portman wanted out ...

A Hungover Rant about X-Men Movies

Without a single doubt, the GIMPIEST thing I've ever produced: I'm running out of blog ideas, haven't been to the cinema in a while and Fox's treatment of the X-Men has always annoyed me so I guess here we go. Again, nobody will read this- but for as long as I can remember the X-Men have always been my favourite superhero team. Mutants are 2929829 times cooler than any Avenger and when I was a young catholic schoolboy I used to pray for superpowers, probably why God hates me and doesn't answer any of my adult prayers.  But yeah, I'm probably gonna be rather opinionated on the subject because I'm cLuEd uP, eDuCaTeD aNd, as mentioned, extremely hungover.  Characters I understand not everything in a superhero film can be comic book accurate, and it doesn't always need to be, however, there are so many things the X-Men comics do right , that the studio ignores when making the movies. Here are some character nitpicks, you bored yet? ...

I see you shiver with antici........PATION

Rocky Horror image and title NOT related to blog content  yo, me again Thought i'd list the films coming out this year that i'm super excited about, nobody cares but whatever. Just means i have a list to refer back to. About 65% of this list is superhero films. so in no particular order: we'll start with Captain Marvel (in cinemas 8 March 2019) mostly just want to see because i've seen every other Marvel movie and it would almost be rude not to, but the real excitement is for... Avengers Endgame (in cinemas 25 April 2019) Infinity War was amazing, can't wait to see everyone get brought back to life bc nobody ever dies in a Marvel movie.  This also comes out a day later in Spain (which is where i'll be at the time), and I have a friend who is cruelly threatening to spoil it for me  because they'll see it first, so if you are reading this blog, 'friend', am not even kidding al never speak to you ever again. Sh...
