Wonder Woman 1984 - Movie Review

Finally Released

One of the movies everyone has been waiting for that was delayed due to COVID. Currently showing in theaters and on HBO Max. If you search HBO Max, you will find all the movies that will be released in theaters at the same time as being released on HBO Max. Looking at affordable solutions as well has safety during this time, I was able to redeem a free 14 day trial to HBO Max so I could watch this movie specifically. I am pleased that it will also allow me to watch season 2 of His Dark Materials which is a much better adaption of the Golden Compass book series.

Review

While the movie did not meet my expectations, the movie is still very good. I felt they did a great job in bringing the characters back together in a believable way. The story was very original from my perspective as I don't recall any movie with a similar plot. There was something still a little off that did not make this sequel as good as the first movie. There were some great moments in the movie that I quite enjoyed. By far, the best scene in the movie was the post credit scene with a very special guest star. I am hoping this allows for this character and star to appear in a future Wonder Woman sequel.

Rating

I would give this movie a HD rating. I recommend adding it to your collection if it is under $10. This is definitely worth watching if you can get a free trial to HBO Max. I would also recommend watching both seasons of His Dark Materials. I picked up my copy on sale at Microsoft with partial reward credits.  Sale price was $13.  With credits I paid less than $10 for my UHD copy.

The Flash - Movie Review

 Surprise Ticket I recently purchased The Doom That Came To Gotham and Justice League x RWBY animated movies that were on sale at Vudu this week.  I received a bonus of $8 off to go see The Flash movie from each movie.  So both my brother and I utilized the discounts for a rare trip to the movies.  Of the two animated movies I purchased, I highly recommend the Justice League x RWBY crossover movie even though it is Part 1 and Part 2 does not currently have a release date yet. Review While The Flash movie was decent, positive reviewers of the movie have obviously not seen The Flash TV series that just completed its run on The CW network.  The story in the movie and the special effects were much better in the TV series than in this movie.  Obviously, TV series has a longer time to tell a story.  Some of the movie’s special effects looked like they were from a couple of decades ago.  While this was only mildly distracting from the movie, it is defini...

Disney+ On Disc

  Change Is Coming Recently Disney+ has been cancelling content like the Willow series among other content on their service. This has given me pause as to what will happen to this content if you want to watch it. Series like the Mandalorian and the final season of Clone Wars were on available through the streaming service. The new idea that this content might eventually be removed from the service to never be seen again was a real possibility. Now we have some hope. I recently received an emailed from Marvel Entertainment. Generally, I would take a quick look and discard it but this one I had to look into more. The link pointed towards Best Buy or Walmart to preorder but I did find Loki Season 1 and WandaVision Season 1 available on Amazon. My hopes started to get raised. So with some quick searches, I did find in fact the Mandalorian Season 1 and 2 will be released on disc later this year. Here are the release dates per the email and what I found at the retailers. Loki - September...

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes - Movie Review

  New vs Old The original 1968 started a series of five movies the last being Battle for the Planet of the Apes . The current series started with the 2011 Rise of the Planet of the Apes  with Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes  the fourth in the series. While similar in concept, I do not anticipate Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes  to be the last in this new series. The original series focused on what I consider the human’s side of the story. The current series focuses on the ape’s side of the story. Based on the ending, I suspect there will be another movie to come. Review You care for the characters and the story moves at a good pace. You hardly notice it is nearly a 2.5 hour movie. You can watch the movie for simply the entertainment or you can find a message about coexisting. There are several surprises in the movie which is something I look forward to since I have seen way too many movies. I appreciate the cinematography in this film as way too many movies get t...
