The Suicide Squad (2021) - Movie Review

 

DC Meets Marvel Director

What happens when you put a great cast with a proven directory like James Gunn? Not the movie I was saw. The cast was great. I didn't even realize Sylvester Stallone and Nathan Fillion were in the movie. Add to the known cast of Idris Elba, Margot Robbie, and John Cena among other and this should have been a great movie.

I think my daughter summed it up the best as a horrible movie that was so bad, you had to watch it. My impression is that you took the group movie like Guardians of the Galaxy and threw in Deadpool dialog. It did not work in my opinion.

Review

The cast were great. You really felt for their characters. The story had a lot of promise. Cinematography was very good. Dialog destroyed this movie. Not all of it was bad but it felt like the dialog dropped the f-bomb every fourth or fifth word. R rating had nothing to do with fighting.

Joker got away with their R rating and it was an okay movie. Birds of Prey had an R rating and was about as good as this movie. Overall, I am glad I was able to watch this on HBOMax with no extra cost. I am scared as the movie end credit scenes exists to setup a sequel.

Rating

This gets a SD rating mainly for the dialog. If you like the cast or characters and can watch it for free, go for it. I don't have plans to add this to my movie collection but I if a deal comes up, you never know. Look at the fact I added Hellboy (2019) to my collection. lol.

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...

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...
