Marvel Movie Reviews w/ Rambo - Guardians of the Galaxy 2 (2017)

  

Let's be honest, the music and Baby Groot are where this movie really gets it's high rating from. There really was not much action in this movie in my opinion. We do get a lot of flying the ships around and a decent bit of personal connection growth between the characters but that is about it. Honestly, I think most of the action occurs in the first 5 minutes of Groot dancing around and the last battle with Ego. Which again takes us back to Groot being the real reason we all watched this movie. Even Drax, while occasionally funny, can't help but love Baby Groot and everything he represents in terms of innocence and true friendship.

!!! SPOILERS BELOW !!!

• Love that we have to specify Earth when we say the location.
• Why does the plant have a network of blood cells?
• BABY GROOT
• I want a Baby Groot plushie. But a cute one. The Build-A-Bear one wasn't cute.
• Wait, Vin Diesel is groot?
• I love that Groot didn't actually care to fight until the beast took out his music.
• I think Gamora is jealous.
• ... That gold tiara-looking thing was built into the chair?
• Their ship is very messy; do none of them clean?
• I don't know if Drax is just being honest or if he doesn't know how to tell something is meant to be a secret?
• It's giving Ender's Game with the remotely controlled spacecrafts.
• How do Rocket and Quill get anything done when they fight over who is better all the time?
• What is Drax going to do?
• He did better than all of you did!
• Shouldn't we have pulled Drax in first?
• What happened to their shields and stuff that protect them when they enter the atmosphere?
• I don't like Howard the Duck. I can't actually remember his movie but he comes off very much a pervert and I just don't like that for him. Not a good role model.
• Aww, the blue man who saved Star-Lord is an outcast himself, so sad.
• Why do they walk so slowly?
• Are they going to roll that carpet thing back up?
• When you compare Drax to the others, he seems slow, but when you compare Mantis to Drax he seems normal.
• So, does Drax not have any inner secrets then?
• Did Rocket install those contraptions to take out the people if they came near the ship?
• Sometimes Rocket feels like he should be more red panda than raccoon.
• Wait, is she the same actress as the dance-fighting girl from Jumanji? I didn't even realize until that little blip of a scene there because the expression is the same as the hair toss thing she does in Jumanji.
• How did he know what a biological being even was?
• Does Groot even know what he is laughing at? lol
• Why does half of her face have a straight line splitting the blue and purple, but the other side of the face is all jagged?
• So saying that Peter is not one of your mistakes, is having him not a mistake part, or the leaving him behind not the mistake part, or the not going to get him yourself part not the mistake? Should I go on??
• I am just not realizing that the antennae on Mantis are like those of a moth... Is she a moth?
• Somehow, the toe thing is funnier to me than the eye one.
• Goes into the correct drawer, grabs the wrong item...
• Why did Rocket want Quill's music playing?
• Even the golden people laugh at his name.
• Why can't they handle all those jumps? Either way, their faces are funny.
• All of this is just so she can say she won a battle against Gamora?
• How do we know for sure that Quill is immortal?
• Can Mantis do these things and live forever too, since she is also his child?
• The fact that Drax only likes thick girls is both funny and not all at the same time.
• What does he mean he found himself? Is he going to take over Peter's body? Is that how he lives forever?
• I wish we could have a show with mini episodes, just showing us Stan Lee's little side quest adventures. It's a shame he passed.
• Oh, the bones are his offspring, not him taking over the bodies of others.
• Oh! So it isn't a guarantee that the offspring carries the celestial gene, so no, Mantis does not have that power.
• Maybe truly loving his mom is what allowed the gene to be passed on, unlike the others.
• WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU PUT THE TUMOR IN HER HEAD?!?
• Oh wow, the planet has a whole face on it in the clouds.
• That plant stayed there like that all this time?? Nobody killed it and it didn't grow?
• The ship looks like a peanut...
• Why does Ego look like that?
• Why does Rocket get excited about saving the universe if he is still a thief?
• Are they actually there this time or are they being remotely piloted again?
• Everything got so silent when they entered the core...
• The peanut ship has legs?
• Well, at least everyone fell on their feet.
• Is that the hole they were drilling?
• Why in the world did Rocket give him that voice?
• Why did you even make a death button?!?
• We have time for this? Really?
• How does everyone land on their feet?
• "I'm Mary Poppins, y'all!"
• Imagine if they hadn't KOd Groot in the first movie and made a baby Groot. They wouldn't be able to get into the core like this.
• How fast is that pillar rising?
• Poor, sad, squished Groot.
• I love that he holds his mom and his walkman to similar regards in terms of hurting somebody for taking them away from him.
• Good, sweet, innocent Groot. We will do anything for you!!!
• Pacman?? Why?
• Why does taking out his father make him like everyone else?
• Aww, that is a tear jerker moment.
• Why do they keep saying that people or series will return?
• Is that one alien guy like Doctor Strange? He had the red rings around his arms...
• Did they create their own celestial being to take over the world?
• No, no, no, give me back baby Groot. I don't like teen Groot.

Atlantis Lost Empire Movie Review

Hello and welcome to another movie review this one is very summarised because I watched it very late at night and just wanted to go to sleep after watching it but I wanted to write my thoughts and feelings about this movie since it was my first time watching it and growing up I really enjoyed watching stargate Atlantis so when I saw I could watch this movie also about Atlantis it was a no brainer. 

The whole idea of a lost city is a cool concept because cities are quite big, so how is it actually possible to lose a city? 

In this movie review, I am going to do it differently than normal. There was action, lots of guns, and explosions. There was adventure. There was hope, there was family. This story is very in-depth. Milo, the main character, gets the girl, and he learns to stand up for himself. The girl becomes queen, and Milo stays with her. For a Disney movie, I think it has a lot to understand. If children are watching, they might not understand everything, so I am glad I held off on watching this one for a good few years. The team trying to destroy it ultimately ends up saving the city and getting riches without having to steal anything from the Atlanteans. One of my favourite TV shows is Stargate Atlantis, and I would like to think there is an Atlantis out there, far more developed than we are in everything. If it is out there, I hope it can be preserved rather than people trying to destroy it, but you never really know what humanity will decide to do. It's great how both the main characters (The girl and Milo) have the loss of their parents to bond them. Their love for Atlantis ultimately makes the city a better place to live, and Milo will end up educating the people of Atlantis on how to read, as it was lost to time. I didn't like how close the bad guys were to destroying everything and setting off the volcano, but it did make for some great cinematic moments. 9/10

Thank you so much for reading, and I am sorry it's not longer, but sometimes it will happen where the movie review is smaller because the big events are summarised rather than me explaining the whole thing. The next movie review I do will be much longer and hopefully a more interesting read. Have a great day. :)

Marvel Movie Reviews w/ Rambo - Doctor Strange (2016)

 

There were a number of things I did not catch on to in this movie that my boyfriend pointed out as we were watching, were there any that you picked up on with a second watch or even on the first? 

While this movie was a nice reprieve from the typical superhero and all the in-fighting they have been doing it lately, it is hard to understand how anyone can just unlock this power of chi to become a hero. Why aren't more people heroes then? Also, I know ShangChi has not come out yet as of this movies original release, but are they going to be related somehow? And how do we have dozens of the good guys at the training ground but only like 4 bad guys and yet we somehow can't manage to take them out?

!!! SPOILERS BELOW !!!

• Wait, is this modern times or ancient times?? Are we time travelers now?
• We can just control the gravity of certain people now?
• How are the buildings moving like that and now affecting anyone in a negative way??
• IT'S THE AVATAR!
• Wow, they almost harvested organs out of somebody they wrongfully declared as dead. Wonder how many times that happens in real life...
• Why did we have to cover the watch? Also, why was he wearing that big watch in their anyway?
• OH, Doctor Strange is an actual Doctor and not just like a self-proclaimed braniac on alien stuff because he is an alien from another world...
• Bow ties always make me think of Bill Nye the Science Guy.
• Did he just phase through the car as it was crashing? No, he just crushed the steering wheel... More confused than before, though, to be honest.
• I wonder if the hospital covers the bill when one of their own gets injured and needs expensive treatments...
• I feel bad for him and the tremors. Is this how he gets his powers?
• That other doctor was very rude.
• So much empty space in that apartment.
• Y'know, I always thought Doctor Strange and Wanda were a thing, not Wanda and the Jarvis body.
• He's really going to put his trust into this spiritual guru thing because it helped that man walk again? Does his partner care? Did she leave him? Was that what that scene in the apartment about the loan was about?
• Y'know, in Boy Meets World, when Erik goes off and becomes like a hobo hermit guy? That's what Doctor Strange looks like with that raggy beard.
• Is she secretly super smart or does she just pull the information from an ethereal realm like a god?
• So even though he trusts and believes that man who can walk, he doesn't want to believe in the things this lady is telling him?
• Was his body technically dead for a second when his soul left his body?
• How does all this throwing his soul around the astral plane actually do to his mental state? I feel like most people would go crazy and be crushed by these types of things.
• She said no. Went through all that awakening stuff and threw him out. Wow.
• "The wifi password, we aren't savages." Imagine somebody actually used that password for their own wifi and its name was the name of that place.
• He finished them but did he actually retain the information?
• That is a very weird way of shelving the books.
• Why did the page need to be put on the ground in front of them to cast that spell?
• Why is he practicing these spells and shapes if he can not conduct the magic needed?
• SHE'S JUST GOING TO LEAVE HIM OUT THERE TO MAKE HIM LEARN HOW TO ACCESS IT?
• Her smile slowly starts to fade away... how would she feel if he didn't make it?
• Ooo, he got new color robes. What do the colors represent?
• Did he just call him Beyonce? Why?
• Taking the book from in front of him is wild.
• Now he has blue robes!
• Has he outgrown his tremors or is the actor just forgetting to tremor his fingers?
• Did he always have the greys or has he been there so long he is growing them? Do they represent his knowledge?
• A staff that acts as a whip...totally makes sense.
• They can use magic to transport themselves through space but can't make a fake umbrella to keep themselves dry?
• Shouldn't he put himself into that glass dimension before practicing?
• Sooooo, if he can control time and the aging of the apple, can he do it on a larger scale and reverse the actions of Thanos?
• Shouldn't he read the book fully before deciding to try something? Instead of saying the warnings should come before the spell?
• What just happened?
• Where did they send him and why? Did they even mean to send him there?
• Are these all relics? Is the cape his relic?
• Smart move, trapping them in those other locations.
• Aww, the cloak protected him.
• Him fighting against the cloak to get the ax is funny.
• What is going on with his eyes?
• What does the symbol on that man's forehead represent?
• That blood spatter on the floor as he was walking doesn't make sense from a physics perspective, just saying.
• Why only her?
• Can he actually do anything in that form? Oh, the answer to that is yes, but no, all at the same time.
• So he can choose to be visible or not be?
• If they can't be seen, shouldn't they also not affect the real-world objects?
• Why does everyone jump immediately to a cult? Are we considering the Buddhists a cult?
• What happened to the guy in the cage thing?
• How does becoming a Doctor save his own life?
• He may not be able to affect the real world from within but he has the ring so he can get out dummy.
• Doesn't the cloak make him able to fly? Why did he fall?
• It's giving Demon Slayers in the Castle.
• See, you should've taken his ring. And now that he took yours, you are stuck there.
• If she does pull magic from the dark dimension, why doesn't she look like them?
• Is she going to die here?
• Yup. Stabbed and falls from like 100 floors up in the air.
• Why not do the time reversal magic to bring her back?
• He thought he was all cool pulling his collar up and then the cloak wiped his tears and broke that tension lol,
• Why do they have sanctums all around the world? Why not just have the one location hidden in the mountains?
• Is he or is he not on her side? Like I thought he was against her using the dark power but now he is trying to put logic to her doing that and say it was for a good reason...
• Soooo, we mentioned the Avengers, why are they not here trying to investigate it and getting in the way themselves?
• Is he doing the time reversal or is somebody else?
• Will people remember almost dying and then being alive again when this reversal thing is over?
• How is the world reversing and yet they are making new decisions and motions at the same time?
• We can just stop time like that now?
• Deja vu for the dark world huh?
• So we are just going to drive the darkness into craziness?
• It's the real-life '1000 Ways to Die' experience, lol.
• There were only 3 of them left on Earth? I was expecting to see a bunch of random bodies being pulled into the Dark World.
• I think he paid his dues dying 20 million times in that pocket time loop dimension... Don't you?
• So that is the green infinity stone? Time-bending?
• The little shape thingy being on all their windows makes me think of the Series of Unfortunate Events eye that goes on all the windows... Doesn't the Umbrella Academy have a thing like that, too? I think the Mysetrious Benedict Society did as well... Not to mention the Illuminati. There are just symbols everywhere, huh?
• So he is going to help Thor find Odin? I thought Odin died?
• Was that Hulk that he took the powers from? If so, we got both Thor and Hulk in our end credit scenes, and that explains why they weren't in the Avengers scene battle from Civil War ... actually no, it doesn't, because this happens after that battle... Nevermind.
