Looking forward to The Secret Mission when it comes out on Netflix. The character works to publish a Korean book under the Japanese occupation.

Watched Doctor Strange a few nights ago. Very awesome inception-esque and magical scenes, loved the story (very unique and got grey) and the events happened and most character were very good. The materialist got enlightened! Definitely better than Ragnarok. Almost great. 8.8/10 and found this precious Marvel Avengers movies timeline and relations It will be ruined by Captain Marvel likely tho. SAD! Now only Black Panther and Guardians of the Galaxy 2 remain b4 I can actually watch Infinity War (gonna skip Spider-Man: Homecoming and Ant-Man And The Wasp for now!). I assume Doctor Strange, Ragnarok, Black Panther, Avengers 2, Captain America Civil War are the important prerequisites to watch the magnum opus of marvel called Infinity War!

I just got back from seeing Captain Marvel. Definitely one of the MCU's lesser works, though not entirely for the reasons often given: First, Carol Danvers is not a very likable character. She came across as incredibly arrogant. Which is not, in itself a deal-breaker (see: Tony Stark) but in her case, it simply wasn't entertaining. And it's not just me, I was there with my mom, who was excited to see a Marvel movie with a female lead, and she wasn't liking her any more than I did. Second: Nick Fury. I was excited to see his "origin story" as much as Captain Marvel's. But he was relegated to being Carol's bumbling sidekick, which I found kinda cringy. I mean, granted this is a good 25 years prior to now, but he even gave his references in 1995: a full colonel in the army, a spy, a SHIELD agent. I would expect a bit more from such a character. Even how he loses his eye is played for laughs. Other reasons are spoilery: {Spoiler}The Skrulls: In the movie they're harmless space-refugees and are it turns out, the "good guys" But in the comics, they are every bit as bad as the Kree (Secret Invasion, anyone?) Earth is always getting caught up in their wars. Now I'm wondering if the Super-Skrull will end up joining the Avengers! {Spoiler}Mar-Vell: They really, REALLY didn't do Mar-Vell, the original Captain Marvel justice. And it's not just about gender-flipping him. In the comics, he was one of the greatest of the Avengers, one of the few who managed to go up against and defeat Thanos solo. And was a mentor to Carol Danvers in her Ms Marvel days. But the MCU Mar-Vell had so little screen time I honestly wonder why the Supreme Intelligence bothered to take her form. There was really no reason for Carol to admire her. There was little indication they even knew each other better than to say hello to each other. And her death was pretty ignomious.

Yeah, I also didn't like how Fury was presented. There was good chemistry between Brie and Sam and Fury had a quite big part in the movie, but he mostly was a "funny sidekick". In some scenes it really didn't make sense, like when he gave his pager away, or when he lost his eye.

Like i stated in the MCU thread CM seemed like it contained 2 or 3 films worth of plotline that were condensed into a single one, and her potential character depth suffered from it. We didn't see how she became acquainted with Mar-Vell, a pivotal Marvel hero who like Iakus had stated earlier was severely underutilized in their film adaption and reduced to a lowly flashback only figure. We didn't see how Danvers coped with the knowledge that life/civilization exists beyond Earth's atmosphere and how she adapted to Kree culture, or the exploration of their homeworld. We didn't see how she learned to control her powers, or the development/progression of her relationship with Yon-Rogg, and other StarForce members before she discovered the truth about her past.
Feige turning the Skrull into dindu nuffin refugees wasn't a subtle political message, and it reduced the moral grayness of both the Kree's and Skrull's iconic conflict into a simplistic black and white affair. Their costume/creature design left a lot to be desired because there were times when i thought i was looking at a rejected monster design from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers or Piccolo from the live action Dragon Ball Evolution film. Just Turrible.

Good movie reminded me a bit of Proof of Life. Noomi Rapace was excellent as always.

The series with Kinneman and Creed-Miles in the lead is excellent so far. As good as the movie. The first episode was creatively done. Kind of amazed at Creed-Miles acting, she'd done a great job being believable in fighting scenes able to overpower adult men and as young girl. Whoever did the choreography is pretty amazing.

I dunno. To me much of the appeal for the Joker is his LACK of an origin story. He's just a force of chaos who could have been anyone.

From what I've gathered Joker isn't in the main DCEU movie-verse, so its not so much an origin story as it is an else-worlds type character piece. I'm excited to see how Joaquin Phoenix approaches the role too. I've always found him to be terrific. One of the few really good actors in Hollywood these days.

I watched Jacob's Ladder for the second time recently. The first time was a long time ago, but I still remembered a good bit of it. That's a dark movie, but it's full of suspense and twists and turns.
Spoiler: My interpretation of it was that the whole movie was him on his deathbed in Vietnam. His chiropractor from one of his visions/hallucinations tipped us off on that. It was basically like he said, he was fighting to stay alive and devils were trying to get him. He ended up finally being taken away by angels by accepting things how that were.
Basically it was a near-death experience right before his death. He could have actually been a part of those drug experiments, but I don't recall the movie ever telling you for certain or implying it.

Just Turrible. Just saw Shazam! earlier today. I give it a 7.5/10. Much like Aquaman what works in it works very well but its really a kids movie more than anything. It's hard for me to suspend disbelief especially when certain things happen in a city I live in and people in the film react like morons or just not like real people at all. Zach Levi's great and fits the character well but dear god please don't keep it a kid's movie down the line when Black Adam steps into the fold. It should be PG-13 and feature less cheese. I am enjoying DC's uptick in popularity and quality but they could use some of that Nolan/Snyder grit. Can we get a Nightwing and Red Hood movie please? Screen adaptation of Long Halloween? Blacket Night? Pls DC now's your chance after Marvel buries itself after Endgame.
