Big Hero 6

 

Meh. Fun, but rather average in the storytelling department. The superhero stuff and Hiro's dealing with loss didn't mix well. Why do the characters even want to be superheroes at the end anyways? None of them were aspiring for anything similar to that; they just wanted to catch Yokai. I haven't read the comics, but they wouldn't fix the problems anyways.

I watched Spotlight.  It is about the Boston Globe newspaper taking on the Catholic Church regarding the cover up of child abuse by priests.  I that that it was quite good, and somewhat depressing.

I watched Casino Royale! It was a great film, in my opinion. Very enjoyable, with a well paced story and some strong characters. One of my favourite James Bond movies! :)

Batman VS Superman: Dawn of Justice

 

Alright, so I've mainly been avoiding the subject because I hadn't seen the movie, but last night I saw BvS, and... I don't care for it. It has a lot of good things, but it's mostly bad. I enjoyed the plot of Batman, how paranoia can drive a man to do terrible things. However, I can't stand Batman openly shooting people with a gatling gun. If there's one thing Batman is known for, it's his one rule. I don't have a problem with the branding. A bit odd of a choice, yes, but I can see why it was included. This is a Bat whose taken a very dark turn. Who no longer sees a ray of hope for Gotham, but rather seems to recieve a sick sense of enjoyment from tormenting the criminal underworld. It's dark, and it's totally something Batman would become. What I didn't like about what he became is... why did he let Wayne Manor deteriorate like that? I didn't like that it wasn't explained. Did he not like the memories associated with it? Did he try to burn it down, because it's in complete ruin! Why would Bruce Wayne let his namesake manor become a ruin? I wished this was explained. 

 

I loved Jessie Eisenberg as Luthor, something I didn't think I would enjoy and was very critical of prior to seeing the movie. I expected the same whiney smartass as we got from most of Eisenberg's previous roles, but I was pleasantly surprised to find a psychotic mastermind, brilliantly written and portrayed.

Wonder Woman was another great part of the movie and my favorite character on the screen. I loved the wicked, badass portrayal. I'm definitely looking forward to her solo movie in a few years. I also loved the guitar riff leitmotif, it totally fit within her nature. The only thing I didn't like is that it wasn't explicitly stated that this was Wonder Woman. My parents are about as general audience as you can get, and they had no idea it was Wonder Woman. 

Now, the ugly... the plot was convoluted and messy. This was way too long, it would have been a satisfying resolution without including Doomsday. Up until the last half hour with Doomsday, Wonder Woman was a subplot they likewise could have cut out. There was too much focus here on explosions and setting up the JL, that there wasn't any room for exposition, which this movie needed badly. The resolution between Superman and Batman also sucked. They stop fighting because their mothers are both named Martha? Really? I mean, I know the real reason is because Batman realized at that moment Superman's humanity, but that was merely the implied reason. The given reason is so so bad, I have to wonder who the Hell came up with it. The writers should have looked for a way to get the realization of humanity plot across some way other than their mothers sharing a name. Because that was droll.

Finally, I am sick and tired of Snyder's stupid ashen gray color scheme in his movies. Jesus Christ, I could understand if it was just Batman alone here, but you've got Superman and Wonder Woman! Be a little more colorful, guys! These are two characters known for their bright primary colors, and you have Clark Kent with the completion of a corpse, and Wonder Woman with a color scheme that looks like it's from the movie "300". This is ridiculous, there was some times where I couldn't stand it because Superman and Wonder Woman blended into the concrete around them. 

This movie has series pacing, plot, and cinematographic problems. There's interesting characters, but the main characters are not as interesting as the primary antagonist and secondary protagonists. Even they are not enough to save the day. I'm not usually expressively hard on "fun flicks", but this is a movie that takes itself far too seriously. It's a meager 3/10 from me, if only because I enjoyed Lex Luthor and Wonder Woman.

I liked Sunset's character change, it was for the better. She was really helpful through the whole movie.

 

The chemistry between the Dazzlings was kinda funny, almost like the Three Stooges.

 

I also liked that post-credits scene with human realm Twilight.
