Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

Director: James Gunn

Starring: Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldaña, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan, Pom Klementieff, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, Sean Gunn, Chukwudi Iwuji, Will Poulter, Elizabeth Debicki, Maria Bakalova

Release Date: May 5, 2023

My Rating: 8.5/10 (solidly)

My Review (NO SPOILERS):

I found Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 to be kind of anticlimatic. And it also came out 6 years ago. I came into this movie with low expectations. I was very pleasantly surprised.

This movie packed such an emotional punch. It was an emotional roller coaster from start to finish. I cried, I laughed, I cried more, I gasped, I ended the movie with my hand over my heart.

This movie had a lot of heart. From Rocket’s emotional backstory, to the team dynamics, to the character development, to one of the perfect endings that Marvel has ever produced. It was a movie so unique and new, but it drew a lot on the foundation of the previous movies. It was a great blend.

Plus the villain? One of Marvel’s best. He didn’t even have a motive to help the universe or galaxy in some twisted form of logic. He was just evil because he’s, at his core, and evil person. And he was so perfectly acted! Of course his actor is a Shakespearean actor. OF COURSE.

I took some points off my overall grade of this movie for only a few reasons. One - the movie was too long for the amount of plot that there actually was. I was surprised it was 2.5 full hours...it didn’t feel like all too much happened in terms of the story. The story was still good though. A few plot holes but nothing too bad.

Furthermore, there was just waaaaaay too much animal cruelty for me. I get that that’s a necessity for Rocket’s backstory, but my soft heart couldn’t take it. Sad and scared animals jut don’t do it for me.

Lastly...Adam Warlock. He was fun to watch but we had a 6 year wait to get to him. I read up on his comic book version and was so excited to see him dominate the MCU. He was fun to watch in this movie, don’t get me wrong. I just expected something different and was kind of disappointed with the direction they went with him.

Overall, a fantastic movie. The rightful beginning to Phase 5 of the MCU (sorry Ant-Man). What a great end to the trilogy.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

6 of 10 🍿 🍿 🍿 🍿 🍿 🍿

I had no motivation for so long to write an detailed review, but I have a lot to say about this one. So buckle up.

I wish I could say I was touched to the heart by this movie and super emotional, because that is what I expected it to be. But I got disappointed. Again, I must say. Lately that's more often than not by Marvel movies in theatre. And I am willing to like these movies. I want to like the movies. I am a fangirl by heart. It's just missing those little extras, little somethings to make it a wholesome, round experience.

Spoiler under the cut

I am no heartless bitch by any means. I know they tributed this movie to Chadwick Boseman. Respectfully so. And the silence during the purple coloured Chadwick themed Marvel intro was breathtaking, nervwrecking, heatbreaking, everything. I felt that!

What I unfortunately not felt was that they made Chadwick's death to T'Challas death. I was absolutely on board with the fact that they decided not to recast T'Challa. It was the correct and only decision they could make. But T'Challa being defeated by sickness and suffering in silence for a long time - these are just too many simitalaries. Let T'Challa die his own death. Let him die in action, on the battlefield as the hero he always was and tribute this to Chadwick. The Queen's death another thing I didn't really felt.

Namor as the villain was fine. I loved the underwater world. I hated his tiny feet wings. I am missing the logic behind the sideeffects of consuming a vibranium influenced plant. People from Wakanda consume it and are gifted with the power of The Black Panther. People in Mexico consume it and have to suffer and live under the water.

The only thing that got me by suprise and made me squeal was seeing Killmonger again. Haven't expected it. Liked it. A lot. Made total sense because of Shuri's intensions and feelings. And Shuri following his path instead of having mercy at the end, would have been so much more interesting and adventorous to go along with. I would have loved to see this. Let her go rogue. Let her burn this world down as she said at the beginning. Let her grieve consume her. Because why the hell not? She lost everyone. But no, that's not her way, because that's not the typical Marvel way to handle things. Too ruthless.

Too ruthless? Wait... there was someone else in the movie. RiRi Williams, a 19 year old innocent, but genious MIT student being picked up by Princess Shuri and Okoye. She wasn't amused at all that these strangers got her into big trouble with the FBI and she needed to leave everything behind and go with them. But when they were chased by the feds through the city she didn't even hesitated to risk her live by destroying a satelite (which I never actually felt is a real threat) in 30000 ft and loosing all oxygen. She topped that with bombing away several police cars and officers infront of bridge and noone even batted an eye on it including her. (When Wanda did something similar in Civil War her guilt and the consequences consumed a big part of that movie)

On the other side they won't let Shuri kill Namor who started a war with her country and killed her people. They fighting to death at that beach. I mean Shuri is speared through the middle of her stomach and Namor was cut off his weird achilles wing thing and even set on fire. All of that only for them to decide on peace and showing up on the battleship by casually holding onto an airplane onehanded as if they just got back from a honeymoon.

It's all inconsequent. Not logically enough. They put way more effort in these kind of things during the Infinity Phase. But apparently not anymore and that's why we are not feeling the same hype anymore in the MCU.

Besides all that, I was personally offended by what they did to Okoye. I am a Okoye fangirl. She is the badest of the badasses. Not only degrading her, but also putting her in the ugliest suit on planet earth. Midnight Angel my ass. She deserves better.

M'Baku as King of Wakanda? Hell yeah, I'm here for it. He is a fine specimen of a man.

Ross was married to Val who is director of the CIA? What the actual fucking fuck is going on...

Check out what else I recently watched > here.

Cheers, A.

here’s my review on ant man and the wasp quantummania..

Spoilers below!!

Alright so it was an okay movie. Was it the best? No.

It definitely wasn’t bad or anything, I just feel like it could’ve been a lot better.

It felt rushed, but the actors were great.

One actor in particular was the best. Jonathan majors was AMAZING, literally a great and amazing talented actor. And kang is definitely my new favorite villain.

Multiverse of Madness Thoughts

slight spoilers ahead

Just a forewarning: I’m not a fan.

Sam Raimi- I don’t like Sam Raimi. I don’t understand why MCU stans love him so much (all I heard was praise for him, but I’m personally not a fan of his extremely campy style). While I enjoyed the creepiness and violence he brought, that was about it. And honestly, even a lot of that just seemed so unoriginal. The whole movie felt like a bad parody.

Dialogue- The corniness of the dialogue goes too far, so much so that it transforms characters! Doctor Strange doesn’t even talk like Doctor Strange. It reduced the characters to cringy stereotypes lacking any depth or development (yes, even Wanda). It’s actually awful that they took such talented actors such as Benedict Cumberbatch, Elizabeth Olsen, and Rachel McAdams, and forced them to say the most embarrassing shit you’ve ever heard.

Wanda- I don’t want to spoil anything too big, but I had high hopes that this movie would begin to deal with some of the loose ends WandaVision left. It didn’t. Instead it took all of Wanda’s emotional development and completely shitted on it. She was certainly a menacing villain, but lacked any sort of emotional depth or sympathy. She was completely flat and one dimensional. And the only ties to her backstory were related to her children. Nothing else. She has so much material in her backstory, but all they wanted to use was Billy and Tommy. Just to clarify- I don’t disagree with Wanda being a villain, and she was definitely a badass one, it’s more about how much her character has to offer, versus what the movie actually used.

Cameos- They were incredibly disappointing. Kevin Feige was right in saying that they spoiled too much in the trailers. There were only two interesting ones, and frankly I didn’t care about either, and I don’t care about them any more after how this film left them. It seemed wasteful, and (again) hinted at characters that may not have any real significance for years.

Plot- Marvel is just so convoluted (more on that down below) that the whole plot was a weirdly paced disaster. It was unoriginal, basic, and frankly, difficult to care about.

The visuals were cool though.

The Downfall of Marvel- I’ve gotta be honest, it’s caused me to lose a lot of faith in Marvel. Essentially all of the recent projects have been extremely flawed. They’re so concerned with future projects, and expanding the universe that they aren’t handling the current projects with the care that they should. There are far too many loose ends for anything to make sense anymore! There’s just so much on the table, and the timeline is getting increasingly convoluted. Think about White Vision, The Eternals, Agatha Harkness, The Young Avengers, etc. All of these storylines have been left completely open. What about Eros, Blade, or the X-Men? These characters have all been hinted at! But when are these characters actually going to show up or return? It could be years! Think about all the other characters and storylines they’ll introduce along the way. When will any of it be dealt with? I think Marvel is getting ahead of itself. It needs to take a step back and look clearly at all they have to deal with and be realistic about what they can accomplish. If Multiverse of Madness showed me anything, it’s that Marvel needs to slow down.

Agents of Atlas Reviews

Since it looks like Tumblr will replace Twitter as an outlet for me to shill my blog, I'll start by posting some excerpts from and links to articles from 2019-August 2022:

May 2019 saw Marvel publish the first issue of the Asian/Asian-American superhero team-up series The War of the Realms: New Agents of Atlas, to rather high sales figures. As a Filipino-American Marvel fan, I subscribed to this series the month it began. Before I reviewed the whole story, though, I revisited some featuring the original Agents of Atlas, consisting of characters created by Marvel Comics’ predecessor, Atlas Comics. While waiting for the second New Agents of Atlas issue, I decided that to help critique any character development of the New Agents best known stateside, I should read an older team-up story of theirs. So, in between New Agents issues three and four, I ventured for the first time into Amadeus Cho’s 2015-17 ongoing, The Totally Awesome Hulk. Ultimately, I reviewed three storylines featuring the New Agents of Atlas: The aforementioned War of the Realms tie-in, Agents of Atlas: Pandemonium, and Atlantis Attacks.

"What if the Avengers had fought evil during the 1950s?" (Reviewed on May 19, 2019)

Agents of Atlas (June 10, 2019)

The Totally Awesome Hulk: Big Apple Showdown (July 6, 2019)

Thor: Love and Thunder

Director: Taika Waititi

Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Christian Bale, Natalie Portman, Tessa Thompson, Taika Waititi

Release Date: July 8, 2022

My Rating: 8/10 (you gotta go in expecting a fun, silly superhero movie. If you don’t take it too seriously, you’ll love it!)

My Review (no spoilers):

This movie was just as goofy and silly as Thor: Ragnarok. Let me say that straight out of the gate. I’ve seen people saying that this movie made a mockery out of Thor? No. I’d argue that the goddamn Russo brothers did that with Fat Thor in Endgame. This movie very quickly gets rid of that character nonsense and puts Thor back on his path from Endgame...shows him dealing with the realistic outcomes (on his personal life) of Infinity War and Endgame. If anything, it’s a little less silly than Ragnarok, as it has some heavier darker scenes and moments as well. It also provides a nice littel redemption arc for Jane Foster, who I loved in the original Thor, and who they RUINED in Thor: The Dark World when they reduced her to a mere damsel in distress after she spent the first movie being a realistic scientific badass.

Finally, a Marvel movie with strong and clear themes and narratives. he themes result in an ending that FELT RIGHT, narratively. Too often nowadays, the ending of movies are so crazy and out of left field, just for shock value. This ending felt right and you could feel it coming towards the end but it was still asatisfying surprise when the movie ended like it did.Thematicallyy and naratively, this story and its ending just. made. sense. The motivations and the actions of the characters? Also made sense.

Speaking of the characters? Loved ‘em. Let’s talk about the ladies first.

I wish Valkyrie could’ve gotten more screen time but I also kind of get why she didn’t...the pacing of this movie is pretty straightforward, and I’m not sure how much more we could focus on her without making the movie longer or taking it in a different direction. While I wish we had more of her, what we got of her was still great. I’m so happy they brought Natalie Portman back, and I think that they handled her character very well. Natalie Portman herself didn’t really want to come back unless there was a good story...Jane Foster’s story in this movie was 1) good enough for Natalie Portman (meaning it’s good enough for me) and 2) sends Jane on her merry way, so that viewers aren’t stuck wondering what ever happened to her. So I’m really happy with how they handled her.

Now onto the gentlemen. I don’t care if people think Thor was a joke in this movie. I’ve been a Thor fan since 2011. For the longest time, he was my favorite Avenger. I’ve loved every Thor movie, even The Dark World. I, like the majority of MCU fans, loved Ragnarok. I liked the fun character turn that Thor got. This movie just expands upon that. I don’t want to go into it further less I spoil it. But just like how Ragnarok was about Thor coming into his own power and realizing he’s strong enough and fit to lead but also that his own power comes from within himself, not from his hammer? There’s a similiar thing going on in this movie.

AND GORR!!! Oh my goodness. This movie reminded me why I had a Christian Bale obsession back in junior high school. I saw a review during the early release of this movie that Gorr was one of the best Marvel villains and honestly? I wholeheartedly agree. Gorr made me feel genuine anxiety and fear for the ‘good guys’ that I haven’t fealt since Thanos. And while Thanos’s endgoal might have been worse (he wanted to kill 50% of EVERYTHING, Gorr just wants to kill all the gods), Gorr’s motive and backstory was a lot more believable and sincere. Gorr felt more genuinely (at his core) motivated than Thanos and the explanation at the beginning of the movie as to why Gorr is the way that he is? He almost had me agreeing with him. His actions, in his mind, are actually helping people. So not only is Gorr an outstanding villain on paper, but on SCREEN he was breathtaking. Christian Bale delivered. I feel like sometimes, these big-name actors will be in Marvel movies and then they don’t even get to perform to their full potential (Kurt Russell as Ego, for example). But Christian Bale really killed it in this role and I’m so happy he was a part of the movie.

So yeah, I really enjoyed the movie, and I’m not going to let anyone else steal my joy. I think I still like Ragnarok a bit better, but this was a fun pick-me-up from Marvel that was sorely needed. The second act of the movie is freaking awesome. Zeus? Who I forgot was going to be in this movie? Amazing. The humor was just like Ragnarok. Visually, this movie was absolutely stunning. The two postcredit scenes were great. One wrapped something up really nicely, and the other got me excited about Thor’s future.

I really, really, liked this movie. Stop taking Marvel too seriously and just go watch it for simple enjoyment. It’s fun and if you don’t have fun watching it, you’re watching it wrong.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness

8 of 10 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿

Marvel can do seconds and this movie is proof. I didn't really liked the first Doctor Strange movie, but this sequel was good. Just like it was with the Captain America movies for me.

Everyone was talking about that Marvel needs to be more innovative, needs to do something new or their movies would all be the same and lame and they said Eternals this movie and so different. But Eternals wasn't good. This movie though is good and different and innovative and nothing you have seen with Marvel before. Sam Raimi was defintely the right choice for the job.

Spoilers under the cut, this is your warning!

You could almost title Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness as a horror movie. Almost. And they even tease a little splatter and I am not sure PG13 is a good choice honestly. Marvel is getting brave and much more mature lately and that is exciting me for Deadpool 3 and other projects to come.

This movie is crazy, absurd, random and absolutely for comic fans. Sometimes they are jumping from scene to scene as if reading a comic book. It's so atmospheric and they created stunning pictures. We are meeting so many characters and it's fantastic. If you haven't watched all the movies and series, it's possible to understand the movie but it's definitely not as much fun with all the background and references.

Elisabeth Olsen is a gem and I love her, but the Scarlet Witch is a little showstealer for calling it a Doctor Strange movie. She is a badass villain, but I am not sure I like how drastic her character developed since the last time we saw her. She's unscrupelous and nothing can stop her. So I am wondering what they'll do with her in the future. There is no going back after this movie and she is so powerful to have a Thanos-like several movie accompanying super villain potential and I am not sure I am comfortable with that.

I also loved America Chavez and I can't wait to see more of her. She is connecting with Doctor Strange very good and makes him much more likable and not only that arrogant asshole he usually is.

Check out what else I recently watched > here

Cheers, A.

My Wakanda Forever Review

Spoilers under the cut!!!!

First of all can I just say the tears were falling from my eyes, the tribute given to Chadwick Boseman was absolutely beautiful, from the silent marvel opening to the gorgeous funeral it was just all two real and for someone whos grandma died the same day from the same dease it just brought me too tears. Putting my own life aside the absolute beauty of wakanda was breathtaking, while the first movie will always be near and dear too our hearts just having a closer look at the country of wakanda was truly impressive and something we didn’t preaveoulsy get to see. Oh and don’t get me started of the absolute brilliance of Talokan, so shiny! Now fangirling over detailed locals aside Ryan Coogler really took this franchise by the horns and made something of the less than ideal circumstances. The entier movie was just so well written and was very accurate (as he could be) to the comics I used to read, And I know I know The supposed romances between several characters felt real unfortunately it’s just shipping dreams, I mean the hunky indigenous king of talokan and the brainy yet beautiful queen of wakanda, Someone give me that Fanfic! But because of the circumstances in the movie I doubt that that ship will ever come to fruition. The introduction of riri williams was amazing (also just wat to point out that the actual government didn’t even pay her for her work, typical!) Idc what the men who watch the movies feel more black girls in stem is a win to me. Oh and queen ramonda was truly amazing showing her might infront of the UN Litreally Chills. Once again accompanied with an amazing soundtrack.

All and All this was a beautiful tribute to a great man, amazing storytelling, Namors Pecs and Mbaku’s thighs made for a wonderful viewing experience.

100000/10 would watch again

Thanks for reading

Yours Truly,

Afro

P.s, RIP Chadwick
