Here is My Movie Review of Batman The Killing Joke

Here is My Movie Review of Batman The Killing Joke

Now when it comes to Batman The Killing Joke I finally read the graphic novel and I really like it because it does show the relationship between Batman and Joker and also it shows a flashback of Joker's possible origin story and I thought that was really awesome. So I watched the movie and oh my God this was fucking stupid because this movie it is so bad and the frustrating thing is is that it does have stuff I like. But the problem is it felt like it was trying to be two movies because I'll tell you the first half is Fifty Shades of Batgirl because all the first half is is just her fucking Kevin Conroy AKA Batman and then by the fucking 30 minute of the film you finally see the killing joke story play out. Trust me I have a lot to say about Batgirl as a character. Although the infamous rooftop scene I want to talk about. 

Now the storyline in this film is really bad because the first half is about back road trying to prove that she's independent and then she ended up having sex with Batman and then the second half it is the killing jokes story that everyone knows and loves the problem is it takes too long for the story to start and when it does start you're already more than halfway done with the movie. And the words of Christian Bale give me a fucking answer as to why they did that because I didn't know the stupid change. But yeah that is the storyline is just a stupid mess. But again I enjoy the second halfway it finally goes to the killing joke stuff that is when I was impressed. But yeah the story is still stupid. 

Let's talk about the performances now I will admit the voice acting's fine except for one performance but the writing is so fucking shitty the writing and actually the biggest problem in the directing but aside From that I think there is some good acting in the film it's just held back by bad and really disgusting writing. 

Now let's talk about Kevin Conroy who voices Bruce Wayne / Batman and what can I say he is a tremendous Batman ever since Batman the Animated Series he is tremendous and look even parts were this movie is not working Conroy gives it his all he's really fun he's very entertaining as the character now the character of Batman I'll get to in like a second but I thought acting wise Kevin Conroy is still tremendous as the character. Now what I said Kevin Conroy is really great as Batman. The character of Batman is a fucking idiot he's not smart especially in the first half where he r yelled at Batgirl which I don't really blame him for being an asshole because Batgirl was being a fucking bitch in this movie and unlikable. But I do blame him for randomly deciding to have sex with Batgirl which I'll get to later but they just make him so unbelievably stupid Now In the second half he does become the Batman we all know and love but yeah in the first half then make him unbelievably dumb. Now I will say though the scenes of Batman with The Joker are incredible they're Dynamic in the Highlight of the film especially the ending where they laugh at this one joke that the Joker tells him and it's one of the most creepy but one of the most entertaining moments in the film And even when Batman attacks the criminals it does lead to some really dark and some really horrifying moments in the film. So again I don't blame Kevin Conroy I blame the horrendous writing. The chemistry between him and Tara Strong and Mark Hamill

Easily the worst performance of the entire film is Tara strong as Barbara Gordon/Batgirl and oh my God did I fucking hate this performance Manually because she is annoying half of her performance is just her whining and complaining and it's really really annoying in this film. You know I'm going to say this if you think Florence Pugh is really terrible as Yelena in the MCU oh my God she wasn't nearly as fucking terrible as this performance Manly because Florence Pugh didn't act like she was on her fucking period throughout the MCU she gave a normal and subtle performance and show the least fucking funny when she got annoyed by others like with Red Guardian. You know I'm going to say this Awkwafina wasn't this annoying in the MCU as Katy and she did make me want to bash my fucking brains out like this fucking stupid performance did. I also she was better than Tara strong because oh I don't know she was fucking funny in the MCU Maybe that's why her performance didn't make Want to bash my skull with a hammer or throw myself off of the Empire State Building. That's how much I hated her performance. Also Tara Strong obviously acts just like Amber Heard AKA Amber Turd throughout the whole movie. That is her performance she just acts like a stuck up little bitch. Now the character of Batgirl I fucking hated and was sad that I liked her in Batman the Animated Series but in this movie she is such a fucking bitch all she does is yell at Batman for being her fucking babysitter in this movie and when they argue I got so annoying I'm like can Christopher Walken come back as Max Shrek and fucking kill this bitch and yes I am not kidding I literally want Christopher Walken character from Batman Returns Max Shrek to go up to Batgirl on the roof hold the gun to her face and  says Barbara Barbara Gordon you're fired and shoots are off the roof and kill her that's how much I fucking hated her character and when you want an obscure Batman movie villain to kill the main female character in this movie that means you hate the writing. Now let's talk about the most Infamous moment in the film and that is Batman and Batgirl fucking on the roof and oh my God this is the worst moment in any comic book film because it shows that she thinks batman is attractive and all she wants to do is to get into pants that's all she doesn't even get over it after they fuck each other she yelled like oh I didn't mean anything and I´m like fuck you bitch you fucking weirdo. I would take the bath house scene in Spider-Man brand new day where Yelena says to Spider-Man when he gets out of the pool she says you know you're not alone in the same more I've seen your belly button and that is more fucking funny and It is a lot less creepy and disgusting then the moment in this film because Yelena is just flirting and teasing Spider-Man just for fun they're just having a funny conversation and it only lasts for like a minute. This moment even though it lasts for like 30 seconds it felt like it lasted for 3 hours. That's how disgusting this scene was. I would take the scene and Shang-Chi where Katy looks out the window at the building falling apart and she says oh hell no screw you I'm not doing this would be a million times more funnier than this stupid moment in the film. Although they're literary a joke where the random guy says to Batgirl oh is it your time of the month and applying that she is on her period and I'm like maybe she is on her period because she's such a fucking piece of shit character but even though when the guy mentions that it is just another dumb sexist joke. Seriously in the words of Christian Bale What the fuck were they doing give me a fucking answer. Also again it feels like Fifty Shades because it felt like a Batman and Batgirl porn sketch because the further app is just a bunch of dirty sex jokes which were not funny. If I want the dirty raunchy shit I will go watch my the Deadpool movies or The fucking the departed with Jack Nicholson in that movie is even though it's not a comedy I got more laughs out of that than watching Batgirl fucking Batman on the roof. Also at least I can laugh at the part where Frank Costello says School is out or the scene where he says When you're pointing a load of gun what's the difference. Again both of these moments are not supposed to be funny. But Jack Nicholson makes them fucking funny and they're they are more funnier than the stupid sex jokes in this movie and I already said they're not funny. Seriously fuck Batgirl and fuck her character her character is awful. The chemistry between her and Kevin Conroy is decent. 

However the actor who steals the entire show is Mark Hamill as Joker and look even parts where this movie is not fucking working Mark Hamill he gives it his all Not to mention I would say he's kind of like the Christian Bale of this film. What I mean by that is that people really hate Thor Love And Thunder. But they say Christian Bale is the best part of the film and that's how I would summarize Mark Hamill in this film. The movie is  garbage. But he is the best part of the film. Not to mention he's so iconic as the Joker he is perfectly cast and you can tell that he was having a lot of fun in this movie and that is why Joker is one of his most iconic roles of his career. He loves playing this character in  Batman the Animated Series and in the Batman Arkham games. Now the character of Joker is perfect, he's crazy, he's scary, he's downright cyclonic because he doesn't care who he has to kill, he's just having a lot of fun doing it because he treats it as a fun hobby that he does. Also his motivation is exactly how it is in the comic because he wants to drive commissioner Gordon mad by showing that anyone can go crazy after one really bad day. I also like how you see a bit of Joker's origin in the film. How can he start it out as the Red Hood and then he fell into  chemicals in his skin that got bleached and that was the moment that pushed him over the edge to become Joker. The scenes with Joker are tremendous. There are so many memorable moments whether it is him seeing his song I Go Looney where he's torturing commissioner Gordon on the carnival ride or him saying this really funny joke to Batman at the end of the film. Or my favorite part is where he says his iconic quote which is sometimes I remember it one way sometimes another. If I'm going to have a past I prefer to be multiple choice. It does lead to some really scary and some really darkly comedic moments in the film and that's all due to the way Mark Hamill delivers the lines of dialogue.The chemistry between him and Kevin Conroy is tremendous because you can tell they really liked working together as these characters they had such tremendous and amazing chemistry whenever they voiced Batman and The Joker that's how perfect their chemistry is both on screen and off screen. 

Now let's talk about the direct in which this is where we go to the major issue with this film because the film is directed by Sam Liu and I don't know what the fuck he was doing with this film because it's supposed to be the killing joke storyline but rather than focus on that he decided to focus on Bat Girl trying to prove that she's a strong woman and she doesn't need Batman's help only for the two to fuck each other and she it's so bitchy and so stupid so he is made background to a fucking Amber turd type character And then by 31 minutes into the film he finally gives us the killing joke and I'll say That is the only thing I like about his directing because he know the glorious job of adapting the comic book With the relationship between Batman and Joker Was really awesome and I like how he showed Joker's Origin story how he started out as a failed stand-up comedian named Jack Who was roped into helping these two gangsters steal from the chemical plant But then he fell into the chemicals and he found out the skin turned permanently white and his face was stuck in a smile and now the thing that drove Jack completely insane. So that was really interesting but aside from that everything else that he does with these characters is stupid he also make Batman pretty dumb in the first half But yet understanding because he made Batgirl like shit which what's that find the watch because Batgirl is a stupid bitch in this movie Because all she does is complain and it annoy me to the point I wanted Christopher Walken to come back as Max Shrek and Point the gun at her and say Barbara Barbara Gordon you're fired and he shoots her and kills her That's how much I hated her in this movie you know it's bad when you want fucking Christopher Walken to come back as Max Shrek and kill bad girl that's how much this movie ruined her out of character. So overall I think he did a crappy job directing the film. 

So in conclusion i did not like this movie at all and what frustrates me is that there is stuff I want to like about this movie the stuff with Batman and the Joker is really awesome in fact I did the second half is really amazing The voice acting is really good especially from Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill as Batman and Joker i still think those actors are tremendous as these characters. The animation is really awesome. Everything that has to do with Joker is really amazing. His villain song I'm going Looney was really amazing. All of his lines are perfect and the rivalry between him and Batman is incredible. Also the humor is still amazing even though it's a lot darker than it was in Batman the Animated Series. I still found it funny. Now if I was just talking about the second half of the film I think the second half gets an 8/10. But due to that horrible first act of Batman and Batgirl having sex which is essentially Fifty Shades because It was just there for shock value. and Batgirl being a fucking bitch and being so annoying to the point that I want again Christopher Walken to come back as Max Shrek and confront Batgirl on the roof and pull out his gun and say Barbara Barbara Gordon you're fired and shoots her which would have killed her. So they essentially assassinated her and just made her into a spoiled teenage girl and  acted like Amber Heard AKA Amber Turd. Not to mention Tara Strong was horrible as Batgirl she was horrendously miscast. Also again I'm going to say this if you think Florence Pugh is really terrible as Yelena in the MCU oh my God she wasn't nearly as fucking terrible as this performance Manly because Florence Pugh didn't act like she was on her fucking period throughout the MCU she gave a normal and subtle performance and at least she fucking funny when she got annoyed by others like with Red Guardian. Also I'll take the bath house scene where spider-Man gets out of the pool and Yelena says You know you're not alone in the same way I've seen your belly button. What that is more fucking funny than Stupid sex scene In the film because at least When Yelena Says to Spider-Man You know You're not alone in this anymore I've seen your belly button at least with that. Yelena is not being horny teasing Spider-Man because she is just being funny with him and flirting with him and it's not creepy or disgusting because Spider-Man is an adult and he is in college now if Yelena did it captain America Civil War where Spider-Man is 15 years old yes that would be really gross and really creepy. But lucky they didn't do that. But unfortunately due to that horrible first hour I'm sorry to say that I have to give this movie a 3/10. Which is really disappointing because I think the second half is really great in fact it feels just that the second half of this movie would be good. But no they had to add a stupid prologue and a stupid sex scene and a dumb argument sequence between Batman and Batgirl. That just proves that Bruce Tim is a fucking idiot because they did the same jackass who decided to gender swap the penguin into a woman as well as Mad Hatter into a woman which is so dumb and keep in mind does it the same guy who thought it would be funny to have Harley Quinn rape Night Wing in Batman and Harley Quinn and also have Batman make that stupid joke where Harley Quinn farts in the Bat mobile and he says smells like disappointed. But it so stupid how he made Batman so dumb in these movies. So yeah it's his fault that this movie is terrible.

Here is My Movie Review of The Wizard of The Kremlin

 

Here is My Movie Review of The Wizard of The Kremlin

Now when I saw the trailer for this movie I thought it looked really bad because of the acting and the actor they got to play Vladimir Putin with actually the main reason why I wasn't looking forward to this film. But I will say the thing that I was looking forward to was to see Pitch Black and The Riddler in a film together. So I watched the film and I have to say this is one of the most boring films of the entire year. Now it's not as bad as Mercy with Chris Pratt is not as stupid as Moana 2026. But that being said it is still a bad movie.  But I will say though I think the first 20 minutes I was actually enjoying I'm like this might be a great film but after the 43 minute mark when you see Vladimir Putin that's where the film fell off for me that's why my  film is really dumb and really boring. Not to mention it wasted its idea. This idea of Pitch Black and the Riddler and movie together. The film ruined that concept in execution. 

Now the storyline in this film is really stupid I will say unlike the room this at least had a storyline but it's really dumb because it tells the true story of Vadim Baranov meeting Vladimir Putin and  help him control the government of Russia and that's essentially what is the storyline that is all that happens there's nothing remotely interesting that happened then to be honest i think the Apprentice with Sebastian Stan did this storyline a much better how it showed Donald Trump and his rise to power wow this one really doesn't at all it's just filler. 

Now let's talk about the acting because that was the other thing I was not looking forward to. To be honest  this movie does have good actors but half of them are either boring or in the case of one actor who is completely wasted and doesn't do anything. 

Now let's talk about Paul Dano because going into this film he was the one thing I would look forward to because Paul Dano is a tremendous actor and he has given some really amazing performances whether it's him as the twins In There Will Be Blood or him as the Riddler in the Batman or him and Swiss Army Man as Hank. Among other films he was in. Now as for the film he actually did a terrific job as the character of Vadim Baranov because he did actually get the accent down he did put on a tremendous Russian accent. It was really good and despite how bad the writing is Dano was really good in this film. Also the character of Vadim Baranov Was really awesome in fact out of all the characters in the film he was the best one because I like how it showed his origin of how he became a young artist and then he became a television type personality and had his own TV show I think the first 20 minutes I actually enjoyed I would say the first 20 minutes when it focused on Paul Dano’s character the movie was actually really decent. Also all of Vadim Baranov's moments are really great whether it is him meeting Vladimir Putin for the first time or him explaining how he is an artist. I think those moments are some of the more tolerable moments in the film because the rest of the movie is boring and really dumb. The chemistry between him and Jude Law, Alicia Vikander, Jeffrey Wright, Andris Keiss is decent. 

Now let's talk about Jude Law. Now he is a tremendous actor you know if you saw him in Rise of the Guardians. He's really good in that film as Pitch Black. If you have seen him in Gautica, he's really awesome in that film as Jerome Eugene Morrow. Even his small role in Hugo he's really good in that film as well. But unfortunately i didn't like him in Captain Marvel as yon Rogg He that gave a really boring and really flat and really bland MCU villain performance to be honest I Think they should have cast him in Thunderbolts as The Void I think that one made a lot more sense and it would have been cool to see him and Florence Pugh in an MCU movie together. But as boring as he was in the MCU. Now as for this film he plays Vladimir Putin and you'll think with a movie like this you'll think Jude Law will give a great performance. But here I'm sorry to say this he is really bad in this movie. Now I will say though his performance is not as bad as John Travolta's performance of John Gotti I think that is more dumb and way more of a horrendously bad performance because  at least with Jude Law he's given a more boring performance. But that being said however he is horrendously miscast and he doesn't even put on a Russian accent because emoji uses his normal speaking voice he doesn't really change it up. Also that dumb haircut he has, it just looks really ridiculous. Also I feel like they should have gotten David Harbour to play Vladimir Putin because he can do a Russian accent. Not to mention when you watch Jude law Is not even scary as Vanamir Putin because when you compare him to other actors who have played horrible pieces of shit like Coleman Domingo as Joe Jackson in Michael, Robert De Niro as William Hale In Killers The Flower Moon, Sebastian Stan as Donald Trump in The Apprentice were really awesome because they got these real life figures accurately with their performances. But with Jude Law he is just playing himself. I didn't really see the character of Putin, I just saw Jude Law with a stupid haircut. That's all I saw and it does prove that they should have gotten David Harbour to play Vladimir Putin. Now the character of Vladimir Putin I guess is accurate hear the dictator but he's too mellow In the film Putin needs to be peer evil and this it feels like Vladimir Putin just want to take a nap that's his character is because he's just so boring and interesting. Now I will say that there are some okay to decent scenes with Vladimir Putin. I think whatever it focuses on is him talking to Vadim Baranov. The movie got a little better. I think their interactions are somewhat the highlight of the film but it doesn't hide the fact that the film is still garbage. The chemistry between him and Paul Dano is pretty good. 

Alicia Vikander plays Vadim Baranov's Love interest in the film Ksenia and she doesn't do anything in this movie she does give a really bland and really boring performance. To be honest I don't have much to say about her because she's just there to be Vadim Baranov’s wife and that's it she is just a nothing character. The scenes with her and Vadim Baranov are okay. They're not that interesting and they're just mediocre at best. The chemistry between her and Paul Dano is pretty good. I think they do have decent chemistry in the film. 

Now let's talk about the most wasted actor in this movie and that is Jeffrey Wright now this guy is a tremendous actor he have given a lot of tremendous performances like providing the voice for the Watcher on Marvel's what if commissioner Gordon in the Batman, Even in his minor role in Asteroid City. But in this movie I don't know what he is doing. He is playing the character of Rowland and he doesn't do anything. He's only in three scenes in the movie and they could have just cut this character out in the movie would not be any different. And this really sucks because Jeffrey Wright is a tremendous actor. But this is probably one of the blandest performances he had ever given again. He is trying his best but he's just there. To be odd they don't have much to say about the character; he's just there to talk to Vadim Baranov. That's all the character does and I guess I'll say that the moments between him and Vadim Baranov are just okay. The chemistry between him and Paul Dano is great. 

Andris Keiss plays Yevgeny Prigozhin In the film and he is just boring. He gave her nothing and a really boring performance. Also the character of Yevgeny Prigozhin  It's just there to talk to Vladimir Putin, that's all he is here to do in the film. He's not interesting, he's just really boring. Also the moments with Yevgeny Prigozhin are just nothing, they're just really boring. All he did was just him talking to Vladimir Putin and that's it he doesn't really do anything and none of his moments are memorable. The chemistry between him and Paul Dano is decent. 

But now let's talk about the worst thing about the film it acts to the directing by Oliver Assayas because his directing is terrible because he tries to make this story about Vladimir Putin but the thing he doesn't really do a great job Showing Vladimir Putin's rise to power because essentially it is just Boring because For the majority of the film all Vladimir Putin does it just sit around talking to politicians and that's it. Not to mention he doesn't even show Putin doing anything disgusting or evil he just makes him way too laid back and mellow. I will admit I think he did a decent job of developing Vadim Baranov of how he started out as a young artist and how he became Vladimir Putin's assistant. I think the  development of that character was really awesome and really good. But everything else he just gets everything wrong and not to mention this film is rated R but it just feels so watered down to the point that he could have told this story with a PG-13 rating that's how uninteresting the characters were in this film. No I will say that when it comes to the same photography he know the glorious job with that you really feel like you're in Russia that´s how  great the cinematography is in the film but other than that I think he did a really bad job directed because I think he should have gone so in like David Harbor someone who could do a Russian accent but no they he got Jude Law who were they great actor but he was horrendously Miss cast. So overall I think he did a terrible job directing this film. 

So in conclusion I did not like the film manly because I thought the storyline was really stupid and really boring there'll be times when I just zoned out because of how boring this film is and again it's not much of a storyline all it is is just Vadim Baranov being Vladimir Putin's assistant and trying to help him seize control of the Russian government and that's it the boys storyline. Also the acting was not that good. I mean Paul Dano does a fantastic job with his performance and looks even parts where this movie is not working. Dano Give that has all you can tell that he is having fun and the character. But Jude Law was really bad as Vladimir Putin. Now there were moments where he was trying to give a good performance and again I will say his performance is not on the level of John Travolta's performance as John Gotti. I think that performance is really terrible. Well this was just boring. I think Jude Law just gave a boring performance. But that being said, however he is horrendously miss cast I think they should have gone to someone like David Harbor to play Vladimir Putin. I think that would have made a lot more sense and I think David Harbour would have given a bear performance as Vladimir Putin. Also Jeffrey Wright I have to say I thought he was very boring in the film. Again he's a great actor. I like him in the MCU. I like him in Batman . I liked him in Asteroid City but here he was just really boring and really boring to him and Paul Dano. They do have decent chemistry. Also Jude Law and Paul Dano also had decent chemistry. But  the worst thing about this movie. They take a really fun idea and that is of course Pitch Black and the Riddler and Lieutenant Gordon in a movie together and that could work but unfortunately they completely fumbled that idea and they fumbled it badly because you could have had a great movie with these 3 actors but since they were in this boring movie that just shows that even though you have good actors that's not the most important thing about a movie the important thing is that you need a great script and this movie had no great script. Also again I liked the idea of Pitch Black and The Riddler and a movie together with Lieutenant Gordon I think that idea is really awesome and I can see Jude Law Paul Dano and Jeffrey Wright in a movie that's not boring or stupid like this movie again I don't blame the actors I really don't I blame the writing. This is up there with Moana 2026 as one of the worst films of the entire year. I think this film is up there with Madame web with Dakota Johnson and one of the most boring movies of the 2020s. I say just skipped this movie go watch Killers than the Flower Moon with Robert De Niro because that film has a much better storyline way better performances a bear screenplay and has better pacing than this film does and you'll have a lot more fun with that film than you'll have with this waste of a biopic. I give this movie a 2/10.

Here is My Movie Review of Spider-Man Brand New Day

Now when I saw the trailer for this film I was not excited for it manually because of the villain and because they brought back the Hulk which he was done really dirty in the post end game era but the thing I was looking forward to in this film is Tom Holland as Spider-Man so I went to go see this movie in theaters and I have to say This is one of the best MCU movies in the post end game era and one of the best movies of the entire year now I Will say though Shang-chi or Spider-Man no way home Are better than this film.  But I will say though it is better than Black Widow and Thor Love And Thunder and that mainly because of that this film actually pulls back on the MCU humor. Its focus is more on the drama and I will bring up the controversial scene with Yelena. 

Now the storyline in this movie is really incredible because we focus around Peter Parker / Spider-Man he is coping with the Lost of his aunt May and on top of that his powers are getting out of control because there's someone that is trying to get through his head that being Jean Gray Who wants revenge on Damage control for killing her sister and Spider-Man has to team up with the Punisher to try to prevent Jean Gray from killing all of New York City and he also has to learn to control his powers and And trying to get MJ to remember him and that's basically what the story is for this movie it's very incredible and really emotional i think the storyline is up there with the storyline thunderbolts as well the most emotional story lines in the MCU. 

Now the acting in this movie is incredible I think this is one of the best acted films in the post endgame era because everyone does a magnificent job with their performance is even if the actors are not in the film that much they still do a glorious job with their performances and I think this is one of the best acted films of the entire year. 

Now obviously the big standout is of course Tom Holland as Peter Parker/ Spider-Man and look even all the way back in Captain America Civil War we all knew that Tom Holland would be playing the best Spider-Man of all time and that has not changed he still give that really fun and really emotional performance as this character in fact whoever Peter Parker/Spider-Man had to be emotional Tom Holland pulled that off brilliantly. Now the character of Peter Parker / Spider-Man is still incredible he's still cracks jokes but I like in this film he is still really broken you know he's still he's dealing with the death of his Aunt May his Spidey sense is getting out of control And he is changing because the spider DNA Inside of him is On balanced with his regular DNA it's causing him to Have withdrawals with his powers and he also wants to try to not only take down Jean Gray but kind of like reason with her try to Fix her problem and trying to tell her to move on. Now the scenes with Peter Parker / Spider-Man are tremendous whether it's his interactions with the Punisher or him talking to you Gene Gray during the climax telling her that hurting people is not going to bring her sister back and those interactions with Spider-Man and Jean Gray Are probably my favorite moments throughout the film Because there's so much heart and emotion To the scenes because you feel bad for both characters. I think this has some of the best moments out of all the Spider-Man movies in the MCU. Also that scene of Spider-Man fighting the hand in the climate of battle when they are under Jean Gray's control that was really incredible. Fear the way I could go on honestly why I like Peter Parker / Spider-Man in this movie. He is just written perfectly and I think the writing for Spider-Man is probably the best writing out of all of the Avengers in the post endgame era. The chemistry between him and Zendaya, Florence Pugh, Sadie Sink, John Burnthal, Mark Ruffalo, Michael Mando is perfect. 

Now let's talk about Zendaya as MJ. Now I always liked her in the MCU and here it's no different. She still gives a really powerful and really emotional performance as this character. I think this is her best performance as the character. Now the character of MJ is incredible because she's still really care about Pierre Parker / Spider-Man because even though she doesn't remember him because if you remember back in no way home Spider-Man cast a spell to make everyone forget who he was and in this film she still cares about him and wants to help him take down Jean Gray but also try to reconnect with him I think the character Arc that they give MJ was really emotional and The romance between the two characters is still incredible like it was in the other MCU Spider-Man films. Now the fiends with MJ are incredible Especially the moment where Find out that Spider-Man Kister even though Jean Gray took over her body And she is really surprised or the scene where she starts to remember him It didn't lead to some really powerful and some really touching moments and her interactions with the Punisher were really funny and also really emotional at the same time and the chemistry between her and Tom Holland is tremendous. Now they still have brilliant chemistry. Now what's funny about this is that they're actually married in real life and I am happy for them. 

Now let's talk about Florence Pugh  Is a tremendous actress. If you have seen her as Goldilocks Puss In Boots, The Last Wish, Oppenheimer, midsummer, she is really talented as an actress. Now when it comes to her in the MCU I thought she was pretty decent as Yelena in Black Widow and as a forgettable  movie that was. I thought she was really entertaining to watch. You know even Hawkeye again the writing was not that great but Florence Pugh still did a tremendous job with her performance as Yelena even though the character´s the motivations were a little weird but they were at least understandable Because she was revenge on Hawkeye for the death of her sister and even though it was a little weird making Yelena the villain but did kind of work in the show's context and both her and Jimmy run or played off each other perfectly. But then we have Thunderbolts and that what the movie that I really liked Yelena in because Florence Pugh gives her best performance as this character they give Yelena a really tragic back story and her interactions with Bob were actually the best parts of the entire film because both her and Lewis Pullman had amazing chemistry with each other. Even in Marble Zombies she was incredible and the scene where she had to watch her mother die Florence Pugh just does a terrific job delivering that mental breakdown that Yelena does because she doesn't want to watch her mom be killed by the zombies. Even in this film she's not in It that much. But Florence Pugh still does a wonderful job as the character. Now the character Yelena is there to give Spider-Man advice and compare the smaller missions to The bigger missions by comparing. potatoes as the analogy and I thought that was really funny. Now yes let's talk about the controversy and that is after the conversation Yelena says You know you're not Alone anymore. I ´ve seen your belly button. Now a lot of people say that this scene is really gross and weird but To be completely honest I don't think it is as gross as a lot of people are saying is because to be honest I think the take off your clothes scene in Spider-Man far from home that was downright perverted and really disgusting and was not funny.The joke that Yelena says i´ve seen your belly button is a lot more funnier because she's just teething Peter Parker / Spider-Man she's just flirting With him and they're both adults. So it makes the scene okay. Now if they did the scene in Captain America Civil War and you had Yelena saying to a 15-year-old Spider-Man I seen your belly button then it would be really gross because Spider-Man is a minor in that film and he is a teenager. But with this he's an adult so the scene is not that gross. Also you can make the joke that hey Spider-Man has meant Goldilocks because they're played by the same actors. Also the scene where Yelena meets MJ was really fun and really entertaining.  The  chemistry between her and Tom Holland is incredible. 

Now I talk about John Bernthal who is playing The Punisher in this film now this was the thing I was worried about because the Punisher is an R-rated character he's not a PG-13 character in this film is PG-13 and I have to say his performance was still incredible I always liked him as the Punisher in the MCU. Now the character of the Punisher I am very mixed on it now I do like their actors with Spider-Man they are really funny and The bonding between Spider-Man and The Punisher is incredible But I think they watered them down they made him a PD-13 character and well it worked for the film I do miss the R-rated variant of this character and Something else that confused me Is that he's not consistent In terms of the timeline because Didn't Daredevil born again mentioned Outlawty thing and yet this film doesn't even mention that so Punishers inclusion in this film was a little weird but it'll still fun to see him. The themes with the Punisher are really fun and really entertaining especially fighting the Hulk in the third act and him trying to tell Spider-Man that I do stuff my way and we're going to Jean Gray and Spider-Man tell him you can't kill her because that could put everyone else in danger I thought that was a really powerful and emotional moment in the film and also the same where Jean Gray transfers her mind into Frank Castle and he has that girl voice that was really funny. But one thing I didn't care about is this dumb joke involving Punisher wearing a Spider-Man mask in the hospital and pretending that he is Spider-Man to make the citizens happy and he randomly sounds like Nicolas Cage which was really dumb it was one of the dumber MCU jokes in the film. But overall I think the film handles Punisher decently. The chemistry between him and Tom Holland was incredible. 

Now when it was announced that Michael Mando was going to come back as the Scorpion i was kind of excited for that because we haven't seen him since Spider-Man homecoming and they brought back and I was vastly disappointed with this Mentally because he doesn't really do anything in the movie he's just there to be Gene Gray's puppet and that's it and Michael Mando he does good job for what he's given but he was just very disappointing to scorpion costume looked cool. But I just think he was wasted in the film and he was  just there for fan service. So that was really disappointing. The chemistry between him and Tom Holland is pretty good. I think they have solid chemistry with each other. 

Now another thing I was not looking forward to seeing in the film is Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner / the Hulk mainly because I have gotten sick of this character because what they did to him in Infinity War all the way to She-Hulk was really dumb how they made him like Shrek like family friendly and not Angry like he was in the previous MCU films. But I have to say he was incredible in this film mainly because he gives a really intense and really emotional performance in this film. Now he's not in the film a whole lot. But for what he has Mark Ruffalo was really good in this film. Now the character of Bruce Banner / The Hulk it actually like how he was in phase 1 of the MCU because this one he is trying to control his emotions trying not to let the Hulk come out and I thought the way they did that was really awesome having It be caused by Jean Gray What it really tremendous idea and the film executes it really well it is transformation with actually really scary. Also the scenes with Bruce Banner /The Hulk are incredible especially in the third act where he said no Banner only Hulk and he said that in Thor Ragnarok now in that film it was really funny but in this film they make it really dark and really scary and him attacking the Punisher was incredible that whole file battle against Hulk and Jean Gray was incredible and both Mark Ruffalo and Tom Holland played off each other perfectly. 

Now I want to talk about the thing I was not looking forward to in this movie at all and that is Sadie sink as Jean Gray. Now the reason why I was not with her in the film was because she looked miscast and the character and she looked out of place in this film. But with all that being said, how was she as Jean Gray? Well she did a tremendous job. In fact she did a far better job than I thought she would because she brings so much heart and emotion to this character and she's actually the emotional core in this film. Now I will say though I don't think her performance is that perfect as Famke Jensen from the original X-Men films because I feel like she looked more like an adult. Well Sadie Sink as Jean Gray looks like a teenager. But I will say she's better than Sophie Turner because that one was awful as Jean Gray. She came off of the whiny cry baby at that character.But  luckily in this film they make her tragic but more mature.  But the character of Jean Gray It'll really interesting though and because I like her but I do have problems with her now I will say though she's way better than Gorr The God Butcher from Thor Love and Thunder because well I liked it that villain Christian Bale he did good enough job with his performance but he didn't really Do much in the film. I will say she's better than Ultron because Jin Gray doesn't crack a stupid MCU jokes because it's actually very serious and tragic. But I have to say I think she's out of place in this film because It just feels like they should have gotten Mr negative to be the main antagonist of this film played by Steven Yeun because I did that one made a lot more sense because he is a Spider-Man villain. Now I like Jean Gray's backstory how her sister was taking away from her and killed by damage control and that's why she wants the revenge on them but I got to say her origin story and motivation are exactly like Xu Wenwu’s Storyline and motivation from Shang Chi and also they can't make her way too powerful in the film like I know Jean Gray is really powerful how she can read people's minds but she's not powerful enough to hop into people's bodies. I thought that was really weird. Also I feel like when you see her this film goes from a Spider-Man movie to an X-Men movie and that kind of threw me off because having an X-Men character as The villain was a little strange. Now the scenes with Jean Gray i really love especially The scene in the third act where she tries to tell Spider-Man that everything inside of her hearts because of how she was tortured by damage control and her mental breakdown was really tragic and really emotional Also the scene where she is going through mj's head and tried to manipulate Spider-Man into gang into his head was super intense and really incredible and again all of Gene Gray's moments are really awesome. But much like Xu Wenwu in  shang-chi Who wants to bring his wife back what about the wrong way and you're like okay I get why your wife was killed in front of you but I did give you the right to  try to kill your son in all of Ta La and release the dweller in darkness. It's kind of like that with Jean Gray because  just because you lost to your sister does not give you the right to almost get everyone killed in New York by using your powers. Also i think Jean Gray is a really great villain as I already mentioned but I don't think she has as good as Other MCU like Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin, Josh Brolin’s Thanos, Lewis Pullman as the void, Tony Leung as Xu Wenwu, Or even Ian McKellen's Magneto from the first two X-Men movies. But she is still fun and tragic though and I think she is the best villain of the entire year. Also the rivalry between her and Peter Parker / Spiderman is incredible because both of them are really tragic. They both lost everything but Peter Parker tried to tell Jean Gray that everything is going to be okay. So the rivalry was really good. The chemistry between her and Tom Holland is tremendous. 

Now let's talk about the directing now this film is directed by Dustin Daniel Cretan now this is the guy who directed one of my favorite MCU films in phase 4 that being Shanghai and the Legend of the 10 Rings and I thought he did a Stellar job direct in that film because he gave Shang Chi a tragic backstory as well as like giving him some really funny MCU jokes But it keeps the character serious For most of the film. the way he integrates Katy into the story was really awesome And she is still really funny in the film because of Awkwafina´s performance. I also like how he develops the character of Xu Wenwu by giving him this tragic origin story and a really smart and really tragic motivation how he wants to bring his wife back so he and his Son and daughter can be a family again but you go about doing it the wrong way because even though The Mandarin has contentions he goes about doing it in a horrific way. So how does he do directing a Spider-Man film well he actually did far better job than a thought he would do and he does a brilliant job with his directing now it's not perfect I think he does some stuff that doesn't make any sense but I do like how he incorporate a lot of the drama in this film by developing Peter Parker / Spider-Man Of By having him Cope with the Lost of Aunt May and also trying to help Jean Gray Control her emotions in the third act and him trying to get MJ to remember him. I also like how he incorporates Yelena in the film now she's just there to give Spider-Man a pep talk but it was really funny and Florence Pugh was really funny and entertaining as the character. I also like how he develops Jean Gray at a character because this is a character that's very fractured very broken because she lost her sister she wants revenge on damage control for taking her sister away from her I thought that was really incredible in the moments with her character are are terrific but I will say though she is Still out of place even watching this film in theaters I still think she is out of place because she's an X-Men character yet she's in a Spider-Man movie and I feel like again Mr Negative should have been the main villain played by Steven Yeun I think that would have been a lot more accurate or make Scorpion the main villain in this film that would have been a lot better. But what he was able to do with Jean Gray was incredible and hey I'll say this Jean Gray actually gets character development unlike the Sophie Turner one who gets no character development in the X-Men films. Also I think the way The Punisher was integrated was really good  even though he was a little watered down. But the brother dynamic between Spider-Man and the Punisher was really funny but I wish he was In a R rated superhero movie not a PG-13 one and they do give them some dumb MCU jokes. But I like how he mixed the Hulk angry again like that whole transformation scene was incredible and actually fixed it no to my issues with the Hulk as a character in the post endgame era because they made them way too family friendly and She-Hulk. But here they make him a little more tragic which was really awesome. So overall I need Dustin  Daniel Crenton did a terrific job directing this film but I think his directing in Shang Chi was a lot better. because I think Xu Wenwu was integrated much better than Jean Gray was in this film. 

So in conclusion I really liked this film mainly because of the really powerful and emotional Journey that Peter Parker / Spider-Man goes through in this film he has to learn to control his powers as well as trying to help Jean Gray move past her lost of her sister and as well as coping with the Lost of Aunt May and I think this film develops Spider-Man the best out of all of his MCU films. I also really like the storyline which is again Peter Parker/ Spider-Man coping with the Lost of Aunt May as well as trying to control his powers and team up with the Punisher to take down Jean Gray but also try to help her move on from her traumatic past and I thought that was a really interesting storyline concept and the film executes it really good For the most There are some dumb moments in the story by big overall the storyline is really incredible. By the best thing about this film in the acting Tom Holland easily is actually the big standout because ever since Captain America Civil War he has always been incredible and Peter Parker / Spider-Man and this film is no different he gives a really powerful and terrific performance and the character. Florence Pugh for what she as Yelena was really incredible her joke with Spider-Man where he is in her bath house was really funny When she flirts With him and says I´ve seen your belly button is actually really funny and both Tom Holland and Florence Pugh playoff each other perfectly and again the joke is not as gross as the scene in Spider-Man far from home where Peter Parker had to take off his clothes which that was more creepy More disgusting. Then the joke that Yelena says to him in this film. Also John Bernthal is still really terrific as The Punisher even though they did water him down to make him family and friendly which I thought now the low dumb i think an air actions with Spider-Man were really funny and the scene of them battling the Hulk was really awesome as well as trying to prevent Jean Gray from killing anyone. Also Zendaya is still incredible and MJ she gives a really powerful and really Terrific performance as the character and all the moments between her and Spider-Man are the highlight of the film. They just have such powerful and emotional chemistry. Michael Amanda as the scorpion really disappointing just A waste of a good character. He did an okay job with his performance but what a waste of a good character. Now Sadie sink Gave a really powerful and really emotional performance as Jean Gray And you can tell that she is having a lot of fun even though I did wish they cast an older actress to play the character Sadie did a good enough job as this character. Now Jean Gray as the villain I enjoy I think her backstory is incredible I think her motivation was really understandable even though the way she did it with a little screwed up because again just because your sister died does not mean you get to kill off all New York with Your powers so that was a little weird but I understood why she had to do it because again she lost someone she cares about. But I will say though I think she is out of place because this film goes from a Spider-Man movie to an X-Men movie and again that really threw me off and I still believe that Mr negative should have been the main villain played by Steven Yeun because a lot of people thought he'll get me the main villain. But I will say Jean Gray was way better than the Jean Gray in the newer X-Men movies because this one goes through character development well Sophie Turner's doesn't really go through any character development she just whines and complains As Jean Gray in those films. But this Jean Gray I actually   felt sorry for her.  now I don't think she is as great as Willem Dafoe´s Green Goblin or Josh Brolin as Thanos or Tony Leung as Xu Wenwu. I think those villains are better written and they were better integrated into the films.I will say that Jean Gray is better than Ultron because she doesn't crack a stupid MCU jokes and I will say she's better than Kang the Conquer from Ant-Man and the Wasp quantum mania because that villain was great but the writing got a little weird in the third act. The action sequences are incredible especially That final battle against Punisher Spider-Man The Hulk and Jean Gray that is probably the best climax in the post endgame era now I will say though I did the  battle against Spider-Man and Green Goblin from Spider-Man No Way home is a lot better and turn the structuring and like in terms of intensity but the climax in this was really awesome and again the MCU humor was pulled back. Now again there were jokes that made me laugh. But I liked the drama side of the film better. Also this is one of the best films of the entire year. I highly recommend you go see this movie in the theater and you will not be disappointed. I give this movie a 8/10.
