DEADPOOL 2

5 Stars

The first Deadpool was quite the parody of a superhero film. Sequels are usually less than the original, all too often a mere shadow of the original. If anything this was better than the original. Rude, crude and hilarious. There are few redeeming qualities to this movie but then every so often that’s a good thing and this is one of those occasions. When the gag reel is anticlimactic compared to the film then you know the film was well done. This film has a great sound track. If you are fortunate enough to watch this on a DVD you will enjoy the extras, especially the Celine Dion performance. If you like senseless slapstick, you aren’t offended by crude language, you enjoy a well acted parody, you should love this movie.

Thanks. I’ll watch it. It’s already on Netflix.

It’s more intense than Goodfellas and at least as good as The Godfather.

SHAZAM

3 Stars

Think a more juvenile Superman and you have this film pegged. Not bad, more of a family movie than most of the DC superhero films.

A short film showing how it really was in the old west.

I signed up for Disney + today because there are some movies they will show there that aren’t available on Netflix or HBO Now. Disney is the source for all things Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar and of course, Disney. Add National Geographic to that list. At $6.99 per month it’s sort of a why not?

CAPTAIN MARVEL

3 Stars

My first movie from Disney + and I can’t say that I was overwhelmed. Some great CGI as you would expect but much of it reminded me why the term ‘comic’ is in the MCU acronym. It was at times juvenile and melodramatic. I guessed the bad guy long before he showed himself to be the bad guy.

The best acting was Samuel L. Jackson as Agent Nick Fury. Several things were explained about Agent Fury as this takes place long before most of the action in the Avengers.

It wasn’t a bad movie and considering the last few Marvel movies I’ve watched, outside of Deadpool, it was about as expected.

AVENGERS END GAME

3+ Stars

This was a typical Marvel movie with a gathering of super heroes and a fight. I do think it was a tick above most of the Marvel movies I’ve seen recently so thus the + along with the 3 stars.

I thought about not watching this but I had watched the first of the two films.

6 UNDERGROUND – Netflix

4 Stars – Reluctantly

This is an action film, a Netflix original staring Ryan Reynolds with several good costars.

Using the term ‘action’ to describe this film is more than an understatement. Whether it’s driving through the streets of Florence, Italy causing mayhem (and hilarity when nuns in baby blue, on bicycles show their displeasure at being run off the road with a quite familiar hand gesture), or laying waste to a penthouse in Hong Kong, with jets from the bad guy bombing and gassing refuge hospitals, to destroying a large yacht, the action begins at the beginning and continues until the end.

Realistic? Not so much and that’s why I was reluctant to give it the 4th star, but it had quite decent acting and great action shots through both CGI and stunt doubles.

Not bad at all if you enjoy action and can deal with a lack of realism. Hey, it’s entertainment from Hollywood; what else should you expect?
