Justice League vs the Fatal Five - Movie Review

DC Animated Movies

Historically, DC animated movies have been some of the best story telling for their heroes. These movies are direct to disc and digital release. Most of this I attribute to Bruce Timm as producer and amazing voice talents like Kevin Conroy who has done the voice of Batman for decades. I will typically recommend these DC animated movies as a must see or own.

Movie Review

If you watch the trailer, none of this should be a spoiler for you. This movie is a cross over with our current time's Justice League and 31st century Legion of Super-Heroes. I very much enjoyed hearing voices of Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman from the Justice League animated TV series. This was one of the most positive aspects of this movie. 

Jessica Cruz is the new Green Lantern who has an interesting back story. I prefer Hal Jordan as the Green Lantern but it would not make sense with this story. The movie had all the pieces that I should enjoy for a Justice League movie but I found myself missing something that I wish I could articulate. Overall, I am not disappointed in adding this movie to my collection and will enjoy watching it again. I would say this is a good watch but not necessarily a required purchase for your digital library.

Rating

I would give this a minimum of SD rating. The DC animated movies can usually be found on Black Friday for less than $10 with disc and digital. I picked the UHD digital copy on iTunes for $10.

Avengers: Endgame - Review

Movie Review - Spoiler Free I will try to keep this a spoiler free review. First, I would like to applaud Disney/Marvel for making a movie over the 2 hour limit that most movies have kept themselves to lately. The movie would have felt rushed if it was only 2 hours. The movie starts out appropriately timed to the events of Avengers: Infinity War. The movie kept you emotional invested throughout the entire movie. There was some predictability with the story but for the most part, I was able to enjoy the ride without knowing what would happen next. This to me made the movie extremely enjoyable. We get see how the characters deal with the aftermath of the Infinity War and what their options are moving forward. Each character was given their opportunity on screen during the movie. This is obviously easier to do since there are fewer characters after the events of Infinity War. I felt that many characters had an appropriate conclusion to their stories. The movie did leave me with a couple ...

Glass - Movie Review

History M. Night Shyamalan has made many movies that provide plot twists that are unusual. Unbreakable and Split are two such examples that surprisingly become part of the same universe. Unbreakable was released in 2000 by Walt Disney Studios. Split was released in 2017 by Universal Pictures. Glass is the third movie in the trilogy distributed jointly by Universal and Disney. M. Night Shyamalan’s movies were pretty reliable in the 1990s and early 2000s with movies like The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs, and The Village. The Last Airbender in 2010 was horrible. With a rich story from the animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender, M. Night managed to destroy over 8 hours of great story telling by condensing it into a 103 minute movie. Not to mention how the characters names were mispronounce throughout the film. I could spend an entire post on how that movie destroyed a live action series. My children convinced me to purchase Split. I admit at the time of this post, I have yet to...

Once Upon A Deadpool Review

Movie Ratings The current PG13 rating allows the use a limited number of profanity words during the film otherwise the film will get an R rating.  Deadpool and Deadpool 2 were both rated R mostly for the profanity used throughout the movie in place of actual dialogue. I was not a big fan of these movies coming in at an R rating as it would reopen the door for other superhero movies to go for an R rating. My personal opinion was that profanity in a superhero movie would be overused like 3D because studios believed it was the key for the movie's success at the box office. It was not. The character was. In my opinion, I believe Logan was properly done as an R movie as it did not over use profanity in the movie. Many might believe that the Deadpool movies were the first R rated superhero movies. They were not.  All three Blade movies that came out in 1998, 2002, and 2004 respectively were the first R rated superhero movies. I believe these movies were also properly done lik...
