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.

Protecting Your Online Collection

 Protecting Your Collection In this time of cyber crime, you want to protect your investment of digital movies. I will be focusing this page on the primary retailers that connect with Movies Anywhere. At the time of this post, I am only aware of Google and iTunes are the only two retailers that offer secondary authentication. Technically, Amazon offers a secondary authentication with the use of a pin for digital purchases. I highly recommend you use these security feature provided by Amazon, Google, and iTunes. This provides great protection for your collection and any saved credit card information that you have with the retailer. I would not advise keeping your credit card information with a online retailer but I understand it's convenience. With that said, I will point out that users have the ability to removed their credit card information from Amazon, FandangoNow, Google, iTunes (provided you are not using Family Sharing), and Microsoft. This is convenient when one of the retai...

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 ...

Digital Ownership

 What Is? With the digital revolution, digital media has been sweeping the world. My memory of digital media was back with iTunes in 2001. There you could download music with a touch of a button from an actual retailer vs illegally with the bonus of malware to your computer. I actually had digital music from iTunes before I had a iPod or iPhone to play it on. In 2005, Apple released their video iPod and started to "sell" digital TV and movies. I am not saying Apple was the foundation for the digital revolution but it was my first positive experience with digital media. My first digital video purchase was the unaired Aquaman TV pilot as it was the only place to get it. What does purchasing something digitally really mean though? Apple and Amazon are coming under class-action lawsuits for their digital ownership definition of "buy" an item. The lawsuit stems from the fine print where retailers cannot guarantee you own the product but merely have unlimited streaming. T...
