"Wonder Woman" Movie Review (Spoilers)

"Wonder Woman" is directed by Patty Jenkins and stars Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, David Thewlis, and Elena Anaya. I was super excited going into this movie because I had seen all of the great reviews and I was really hoping that this would be a win for the DCEU. And it definitely was. This was a fantastic movie! Gal Gadot absolutely owns the role as Diana Prince and I am so glad that I can say that now. I didn't see enough of her in Batman v Superman to really judge, but now I know that Gal Gadot is Wonder Woman! I may be in the minority on this one, but I absolutely love every single dceu movie! Well, I at least LIKE every single DCEU Film. Suicide Squad is my least favorite of the bunch, but I still enjoy so much! And yes, Batman v Superman is still my favorite DCEU movie, and one of my favorite movies ever. I honestly loved everything about Wonder Woman. From the action, to the hilarious dialogue between Gal Gadot and Chris Pine, from the set pieces, to the seamless CGI, this movie had it all! I really only had one issue with this movie. And it was the villain. I wish we would have seen more Ares, and less old man. Because the battle between Diana and Ares was outstanding! But I just hated that he was an old man. I really hated it. That is honestly my only problem with this movie. It is near Perfection and it is better than Man of Steel and Suicide Squad. I hope this movie gives people hope for the DCEU, and the future of comic book movies in general. I'm so happy to give Wonder Woman a 9.5 out of 10.

"Spider-Man HomeComing" Movie Review (Spoilers)

"Spider-Man Homecoming" is directed by Jon Watts and stars Tom Holland, Zendaya, Michael Keaton, Jacob Batalon, and Robert Downey Jr. This is one of my most anticipated films of 2017 for many reasons. One, it's Spiderman! And two, Spider-Man is in the MCU! Tell me not to get excited! I was so excited to see "Spider-Man Homecoming" because I really loved Tom Holland in "Captain America: Civil War". So I was really looking forward to this film. But as much as I love Spider-Man, and as much as I loved this movie, it is not perfect. First off, the big inconsistency that everyone is seeing the eight years later. After a scene from which people are rummaging through debris from the Battle of New York and the first Avengers, there is a sign that says eight years later. What? The Avengers happened in 2012, so are you saying that Spider-Man homecoming takes place in 2020? I'm really hoping this was just a little air that will be fixed with the home dvd release, or Blu-ray release.
My other main issue with this movie is the Spider-Man suit. I love how it looks, but there is just too much stuff in the soup. There's a Tracker, a parachute, and its own AI. It feels like a teenage version of Iron Man with a different suit. I really didn't like it. But those are really my only issues with the film. I love Michael Keaton of the Vulture, he is probably one of if not the best MCU villain we've ever had. Tom Holland Was Spectacular! Amazing! As Spiderman. And Robert Downey Jr., As Always, killed it as iron man.
Despite some inconsistencies, I really enjoyed this movie. I'm going to give "Spider-Man Homecoming" ⭐⭐⭐⭐

"FANT4STIC" Movie Review (Spoilers)

"FANT4STIC" is directed by Josh Trank and stars Miles Teller, Michael B Jordan, and some other people I forgot the name of. Now the only reason I am doing this review is because I want to review a bad movie. I do not have a lot of movies that I think are bad, with the exception of this, and Batman and Robin, there's really no other movies that I absolutely hate. It all started one day, when my mom and I went to Redbox. She was renting a movie and I saw "FANT4STIC" was there and I asked her if I could get it. She said yes. Now I'm going to be completely honest, I did not think I would hate this movie as much as I did. I'm very optimistic when it comes to movies. I was a big fan of the 2005 and 2007 Fantastic Four movies and I was hoping I would like this one just as much. I watched Jeremy Jahns review of it, and Chris Stuckmann's review of it before I watched it to see if my opinion with any different from theirs. The first time I watched this movie I did not think it was as bad as they were saying. But then I watched it a second time. This movie is absolutely terrible. It had no middle. It had the beginning where they got their powers, and then a bunch of boring weird stuff happens and then it's the end. There was no middle. There was no rising action and there was no climax. I honestly feel if they would not have Incorporated that scene at the end where Doctor Doom blows up all those heads, this movie would have been rated PG. There is literally one action scene that I remember. That's it. And it was barely even action, it was seriously like 25 seconds long. If it's not already clear to you, I hate this movie. I'm going to give it ⭐
