Incredibles 2 (2018) - Film Review


Review:

*Originally written July 17th, 2018*

It feels so weird to have just seen a sequel to The Incredibles, a film that I hold close and dear from my childhood and also my favourite Pixar film. I wasn't sure what to expect from a sequel 14 years on. Hell, I didn't even know what I wanted myself from an Incredibles sequel, but now that it's here, I am more than happy to say Incredibles 2 was everything I could have hoped for and filled me with so much joy.

Superhero films are getting a lot of flack recently. It's easy to see why. We get so many of such contrasting quality. Marvel are doing fine, they rarely do anything interesting, but they're mostly just coasting through a fanbase of people who know what to expect from their films at this point, good or bad. Having seen more or less every comic-book film from the past few years, Incredibles 2 is such a blast of fun, refreshing and gorgeous animation.

Taking place instantly from the events of the first, we find the Parrs forced into hiding once again as being a Superhero is outlawed in this vision of 1960's America. Helen (Elastagirl) finds herself hired by a rich fan of superheroes, wanting to see them legalised and put back into the mainstream while Bob (Mr. Incredible) has to stay at home to look after the children.

To put it simply, Incredibles 2 is a crowd-pleaser and another excellent piece of art from Pixar. After watching the first Incredibles a couple of weeks ago, it is insane just to see how much the animation has improved over 14 years. Technology and talent has been to to incredible use here to creative gorgeous and impressive animation that constantly had me impressed. Every time a Pixar film has come out I say this, but they've outdone themselves once again with the animation.


With most superhero films these days, the use of the characters powers are usually wasted and not a lot interesting is done with them. Here however, there is so much happening with mixing up the powers. Seeing the Parr family mix their different variety of powers is so creative and a joy to watch. Brad Pitt really is a talented director when it comes to animation and it's great to see that time and effort that went into this has paid off.

It's not just the action that's great too. All the family focused stuff is interesting and has a lot of heart. I rarely find big releases like this funny, but everything with Bob at home trying to do a Mr. Mom thing was extremely funny and fun to watch. Easily some of the funniest content Pixar have released and it's all due to character work. A lot of the comedy comes from Bob's facial expressions and Jack-Jack's powers being put on display (And they do a lot with that). 

While the plot is excellent and sets up the series for more adventures, all while feeling stand-alone, where Incredibles 2 lacks a little is within its villain. It's fairly obvious who the villain is going to be quite early on, and while there is some cool stuff with 'Screenslaver's' powers, which are trippy and lead to a genuinely intriguing piece of animation, I was left extremely cold by the motivations. I just wasn't convinced it was enough for this character to out on a villainous scheme. It was a far cry from the excellent Syndrome from the first film, who gets better with each watch.


I'm not entirely sure if I preferred this to the first one or not, but this comes extremely close and that's more than I could ask for with a sequel that took 14 years to come out. It's a gorgeous, funny, heartfelt and creative win from Pixar. Cinema is alive.

Justice League (2017) - Film Review

Review:

*Originally written November 20th, 2017*

"Assemble"

My expectations for Justice League were never that high to begin with. The road for the DCEU has been rocky at best with a few bright spots like Wonder Woman, but then lows like Suicide Squad (It gets worse with every watch). It's a shame that all of DC's heroes have come together in such a messy fashion in a film that's as boringly simple as it is incoherent at times. If that makes sense.

It seems Snyder has not learned from his criticisms of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Tonally, the film is all over the place. Murky, ugly coloured cinematography then some quips shoved in place to try and balance it. It has no idea what it wants to be. I can only imagine the worst quips come from the talentless hack Joss Whedon, a man who seems to only know how to write in quips. Seriously, Avengers: Age of Ultron is basically Big Bang Theory: The Movie.

At the very least, Justice League does have some very funny moments, mostly at the expense of The Flash, who is played with a sort of awkward charm and sense of childlike wonderment from Ezra Miller. There's the odd lame line that doesn't work, which adds to the tonal mess of the film.


Most of the Justice League do get their moments to shine. Gal Gadot is still excellent as Wonder Woman, bring the humanity to the team. Affleck is still solid is Batman, but they sadly go a different direction with him that they established in BVS. I like Affleck as Batman, but I wish they kept the brutality they led with. The worst off from the team by far is Cyborg, such a bland and ugly character, made worse by such poor CGI. Jason Moama's Aquaman was a pleasant surprise, a functioning alcoholic rock-star who was actually quite bad-ass. 

For such an expensive film, it is outrageous how poor a lot of the special effects are. Nothing feels real or genuine. The designs are poor and the green screens are trash. Every time The Flash uses his powers are some of the worst looking things I've seen all year. The action has moments of fun throughout. Lots of that Snyder slow-motion, so much of it. It's stylish, if a little hollow.

A lot of this film feels hollow. The stakes are low and the villain is poor, a common problem of superhero films and it just lacks any real surprises in general. Everything goes exactly how you'd expect it to go. The Justice League is formed, the bad guy is defeated and everything is okay in the end. It's boring and I'm just pretty sick of it. I won't spoil it, but even Superman's return was exactly how I expected it. At least they solve that "Lois is the key line" from BVS.

Danny Elfman's score is completely forgettable. To the point not a single track stood out. There's some use of familiar themes from previous Batman and Superman films, but nothing new left anything close to a lasting impression. I wish Junkie XL or Hans Zimmer did some work on this. 


Justice League really could have used some work and been made longer, which is not a thing I usually say. Every single side character is wasted. I'm not entirely sure why J.K. Simmons Commissioner Gordon was even in this film. The same problem with Amy Adams or Amber Heard, no one was given enough screen time justify even being in the film. I can only bet there's an "Ultimate" or extended edition of this film coming out on Blu-ray, it really could have done with more.


If Wonder Woman was a step in the right direction for the DCEU, then Justice League is a step back. A bland, generic blockbuster that's watchable and has its moments, but lacks anything close to original or unique. A real disappointment.

Batman: The Killing Joke (2016) - Film Review

Review:

*Originally written July 23rd, 2016*

"The joke's on me"

I was very much looking forward to this. I haven't read the comic, but everyone talked about it like it was the second coming of Jesus. An R-rated Batman film. It had potential to be amazing.

Well, this is mostly just a horrible mess. The voice performances are great, Mark Hamill is incredible as expected as The Joker. The inclusion of both Hamill and Kevin Conroy makes me feel like it could be canon to the Arkham game series (Which I love).

It just falls apart in its horribly sadistic and pointless feeling story that borders on torture porn with its treatment of the only female character. Barbara Gordon is so sexualized in this, it is disgusting, it felt like Michael Bay directed an animation at some points. What they do in a scene with her and Batman just felt wrong and a little disturbing.


We spend the first 30 minutes utterly destroying what could have been a really strong female character and reducing her to a immature school girl with a crush on Batman that takes things to a place that had no right to be there. They even shoehorn in an awfully offensive and stereotypically camp gay character that just left me thinking "Wow". The writers must have never interacted with a real gay person and based this character on over the top parodies.

The whole thing about Joker's backstory sucked. What makes The Joker great is his mysterious past. By telling us what happened to him in increasingly uninteresting flashbacks really takes away from his character. i'm really, really confused by what the purpose was to that whole entire subplot.
While I really didn't like this. I will admit they were some inspired moments. The Joker's funhouse ride was effectively disturbing and his musical number was awesome. Aside from that and the animation, everything else sucked.


It did at least earn its much talked about 'R' rating due to its content. There's some bloody shootouts, beatings, an implied rape and someone gets beaten to a pulp. I would have liked to have seen this kind of content in a better written Batman film, but instead we're stuck with this.

The script was just awful. Filled with cringeworthy lines and terrible dialogue that was almost laughable. And at 70 minutes this still felt too long. The first 20 minutes are such a drag too. I don't know how big the comic is, but by the looks of it, they really struggled to get this thing up to feature length.

I really have no idea what they were going for with this. If I hear people say "Oh, but that was in the comic". Well, then the comic sucked too, or it translated better on paper. This was just horrible.

If this truly is one of the best Batman stories ever, then this adaptation of The Killing Joke is a complete failure on all levels. I can only imagine how much better this could have been had it had a real budget and been bought to lice-action with a much better crew behind it. One of my biggest disappointments of the year.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014) - Film Review

Review:

*Originally written June 30th, 2017*

"Dead franchise on arrival" It's the best I had in my head.....

Well, I'm finally at the end of my series of Spider-Man reviews (Thank god) before the next reboot 'Homecoming' comes out in the week. It's been a long and interesting journey, with mostly lows, but a couple of high, it's just a shame that the series ends on this low note of shit.

Did Sony learn NOTHING from the failure of Spider-Man 3? Like, seriously? The reason Spider-Man 3 failed was because of too many villains, far too much plot and it was way too long. So they did it again. Are they fucking retarded? I'd honestly like to know if the people behind this mess had IQ's in the double digits, because I seriously doubt it.

There are some moments of good in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (Ah, how I missed the simplicity of numbered sequels), but they are undercut by such cancerous awfulness. Everything feels off and is extremely underdeveloped. Electro and Rhino should have been scrapped right off the bat and this should have purely been about Peter Parker and Harry Osbourne. Eveything else was unnecessary filler.

It doesn't help by the lack of effort put in by the actors. Jamie Foxx is atrocious, hamming it up to 11, which could have been fun, but comes off as painful. The design is ugly and looks fake as hell. All his scenes are accompanied by this lame and cringy dubstep score. Dear god, I forgot how bad that shit was. Paul Giamatti amounted to 3 minutes of screentime, all his scenes were in the trailers. He is equally as embarassing to watch, complete with a hokey Russian accent. It's a shame to see such accomplished actors reduce themselves to this.


Dane DeHaan fares a bit better than the rest as Harry Osbourne/Green Goblin. He's pretty good at the problem child thing by now (He was much better in The Place Beyond the Pines though). His character falls apart once he becomes Green Goblin and becomes a fuck ugly mix of CGI and poor make-up. They at least attempt to build up Harry and Peter's relationship with a cringy montage.

Being an action-heavy superhero film, I am failing to recall any memorable action. Nothing was unique or stood out, The only thing my brain can recall is how ugly and cartoony the CGI looked in a lot of the scenes. I'd go as far as saying there's not even anything here as good as the school fight in the last film.

The positives I'd say out of this mess are Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone once again show genuine chemistry. Garfield also played Peter Parker as much less mentally challenged this time, which was good. I also much preferred the costume here than in the first one, it reminded me a lot more of Raimi's Spider-Man 2 costume.


They also take a huge risk by actually killing the love-interest at the end of the film in a surprisingly brutal way (Surprising if you haven't read the comics. Which I haven't). It was a ballsy move that would have been much more appreciated in a film that wasn't such a trainwreck. I would like to see more superhero films murdering lead characters and not bringing them back. Looking at you Batman v Superman.

Another big mistake this film makes is its obsession of trying expand its world rather than tell an interesting story. It introduces a retarded amount of subplots that were never answered or even asked for. Wanna know the mystery behind Parker's parents? Well... you're never gonna get that answer. 

Hell, we still never got the Uncle Ben stuff resolved from the last film. Don't get me started on all the Oscorp shit. Fuck me.... There was one scene that was just dying to be a launching pad for spin-off films, but the franchise died and is now shared with Marvel. So we'll see what happens with that.

That's The Amazing Spider-Man 2, a complete mess, overstuffed, long, boring and forgettable, but never as offensive as the "Emo" scenes from Spider-Man 3, still painfull though. Your move, Disney, Save Spider-Man.

The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) - Film Review

Review:

*Originally written June 21st, 2017*

"With great power, comes a mediocre reboot"

The Amazing Spider-Man is something I remember enjoying when it was released, despite being a pissed off 15 year old who was annoyed we never got Raimi's Spider-Man 4. I never loved it, but I did enjoy it. Now, however, I found it to be the film equivalent of chewing gum for two hours that has lost its flavour.

I was never offended by this reboot, but it just walked a fine line of mediocrity during its entire, bloated 137 minute run-time. The biggest crime Marc Webb's film commits is probably being far too familiar and certainly unnecessary. 



Rather than do something new or interesting, we're once again given Spider-Man's origin story. It's far too similar to the first Sam Raimi film, despite being different. We see scenes we've seen before, Peter going after who killed Uncle Ben (Which is a subplot that is dropped and never mentioned again), him discovering his powers, a big villain who's the result of a science experiment gone wrong. It's all just really dull, despite flashes of something better that is potentially underneath the surface. Oh, they do the whole "Beam in the sky" finale here too... urgh.

Andrew Garlfield is better than I remember when he's actually Spider-Man (I love the look and design of the suit) and he has some genuine chemistry with an underused Emma Stone, but when he's Peter Parker, he acts like a mentally challenged and twitchy Marty McFly and it is weird, so weird. I feel it's meant to be charming, but it comes off as all wrong.

Rhys Ifans doesn't fare much better as Dr. Curt Connors/The Lizard. We were given hints of The Lizard throughout Raimi's trilogy and we sadly never got him, but here he's pretty wasted. He looks like a terrible cartoony CGI mess and plays it very hammy and over the top. I noticed a weird scene where he's shouting, but his mouth wasn't moving, which is a goof. Sure, whatever, but I expect better from a film that cost this much. Again, his character is far too similar to Spider-Man's Green Goblin, another science experiment gone wrong who gives the host split personality.




There are some decent bits of action spread throughout. I liked some of the POV shots of Spider-Man going around the city, which I remember being in the teaser trailer for the film. I just wish there was more creative stuff on display, like the most of the film, everything is just very forgettable and vanilla.

The Amazing Spider-Man is an instantly forgettable and mostly dull attempt at rebooting Spider-Man by rehashing a lot of stuff we've seen before.

Spider-Man (2002) - Film Review

Review:

*Originally written March 18th, 2016*

"With great power, comes great responsibility"

Since we just got our first glimpse of Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War and with Spider-Man: Homecoming on the way, I thought I'd go back to the first real time Spidey hit the cinema screen with Sam Raimi's Spider-Man. A film I adored in my childhood, so it's a shame to see that, my god, this has not aged well.

Superhero films have come a long way since 2002 and Spider-Man certainly laid the groundwork and formula for what was to come. You know the story, high school loser Peter Parker gets bitten by a radioactive spider and gains superpowers like web-slinging, enhanced reflexes etc and adapts the alter ego Spider-Man, while coming to terms with his powers and his personal life.

I always find it strange that Sam Raimi directed this trilogy, he just doesn't seem like the guy for the job, but he pulls off some distinct visual style of his, including a Bruce Campbell cameo and it has more of a unique personality than 90% of today's cookie-cutter Marvel films. Not that their bad, it's just they lack their own style.

A lot of the effects are laughably outdated, although I admire the use of a lot of practical effects, but the CGI really stands out, like it seems like a PS1 game sometimes, the Green Goblin turning those guys into skeletons in particular. Then there is some brutally fake looking shots of Spider-Man swinging through the city.


A lot of the action is actually really brutal and kinda shocking for a kids film. The Green Goblin killing innocents is done in a mostly cartoony way, but the one on one stuff with Spider-Man and Green Goblin is really violent. You really feel the punches and cuts we see, it even ends with Spidey's face completely covered in blood.

Where Spider-Man excels most is with its storytelling. Each of the characters has their own arc and feel developed, helped by the great job from everyone. Tobey Maguire is easily the best Spider-Man/Peter Parker we've had, going from socially awkward nerd to superhero. James Franco is.... James Franco, but with subdued anger and daddy issues. Kirsten Dunst is an extremely likable girl next door and a lovely bit of bacon to boot. And Willem Dafoe does such a fun job of hamming up his villain role as the Green Goblin. There's not a lot else to say about J.K. Simmons in his role J. Jonah Jameson, just perfect casting, the man was born to play that role.

I really like Danny Elfman's score too. Both the action heavy stuff and the more quiet and sometimes sinister tracks. While the not film's fault at all, it does hit a lot of the same notes that make modern day superhero films so stale. It's a fairly basic origin story and even has the "Impossible Choice" scene towards the end, which has been done to death.


It is also very campy and often cheesy, like most of Raimi's films, and I don't feel that tone has held up very well to this point. The point where New York "unites" to help Spider-Man fight Green Goblin was more brutal and cringe worthy than it was inspiring.

It didn't hold up as well as I hoped, but Spider-Man is definitely one of the more interesting and better origin stories we've had and has a unique voice, but so much just doesn't hold up. Shame. Still, from what I remember, this still has more charm than the Andrew Garfield reboot.

Wonder Woman (2017) - Film Review



Review:

*Originally written June 1st, 2017*
 
While I think I definitely preferred Man of Steel (Really need to revisit it), I see the criticism's of the DC EU and why people hate them, but fear no more. DC are finally on the right track with Wonder Woman and finally earned the critical acclaim the've been wanting since 2013 and they also have made the first truly good female led superhero film. I also have to point out how disgusting it is that Marvel have had 10 years to make a female led film and still haven't. Shame on you, Disney.

Wonder Woman isn't perfect though. While it avoids the grey pitfalls of DC's films so far, they suffer from the same problems a lot of Marvel's films do, and I think you can guess what that is. That's right, a piss-poor villain and an overly CGI and bombastic finale that feels out of place from the excellent two hours that preceeded it.

I'll get it out the way that Gal Gadot is fantastic as Wonder Woman/Diana Prince. I wasn't massively impressed by her debut in Batman v Superman, but she really proved herself in leading a film by being a fun, charismatic and strong lead. There are some early moments that feel like we've seen them before, but once Wonder Woman is off her home island and experiencing the real world, she really gets to shine. It was fascinating to see her character experience the world and its absurdities, including how silly war is and how unhonourable and cowardly generals are. So she takes her naive charm and thinks she can stop the war by killing the German leader who she believes to be the God of War.



Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman

What Wonder Woman reminds me most of is Marvel's Captain America: The First Avenger, due to its war setting and tone. While I wasn't a big fan of The First Avenger, I do feel like a human war is a great setting for a superhero film. Despite being set during World War 1 and being a DC film, Wonder Woman is a actually a vibrant, bright and colourful adventure and beautifully shot. aside from the excellent theme song, Rupert Gregson-Williams score is sadly forgettable.



The action is fluid and exciting, it might indulge in a bit too much at times in slow-mo and the last fight is CGI shit, but there is something genuinely fun about seeing Wonder Woman fight Germans in the trenches of World War One. There's also fun use of Wonder Woman's variety of different fantastical equipment like her lasso, sword and shield as she leaps around, destroying Germans. We don't get to see her invisible jet though, which is probably for the best.

I was surprised at just how much heart the supporting cast brought to the film. Chris Pine's American Spy brings laughs and emotion, which makes way for a surprisingly touching end. Lucy Davis is fun as Pine's assistant, as is Ewen Bremner's Scottish marksman, who is essentially just playing his character Spud from Trainspotting. It was weird to see Robin Wright as Diana's aunt who trains her to be a warrior, she did a good job, but it was hard not to see Claire Underwood. 


Chris Pine as WW1 spy Chris Trevor

Like I mentioned earlier, the villain is poor. I can't say who the main villain is without spoilers, but once you find out, he turns into some lame giant CGI Skyrim character it feels like a huge mess. There was an interesting visual design to the side villain, but shes' not got a lot of screentime to make an impact, despite how deadly the weapon she makes is. Although I do love the campy name "Doctor Poison".

What I really loved about Wonder Woman is how stand-alone it is. It's not interested in connected to other films. It tells its own story and its refreshing. There's no abhorrent cameos shoehorned in like with the Justice League in Batman v Superman. You can watch Wonder Woman without feeling like its a puzzle piece in a bigger picture.

Wonder Woman isn't a masterpiece by any means, it suffers from a boring villain and bombastic third act finale, but it is a huge step in the right direction for the DCEU thanks to its excellent lead, heart humour, colour and sense of fun that has been missing from DC's films. More of this.

Power Rangers (2017) - Film Review

Review:

I didn't grow up with Power Rangers and I had no real excitement for this at all. I, at the very least expected some mind-numbingly entertaining action in here somewhere in the way of Michael Bay's Transformers series. Instead, I got none of that, I got something closer to Josh Trank's 2015 Fantastic Four reboot.

I know Power Rangers is a very campy and outdated TV show, so I'm not entirely sure what this was going for. It tries to be dark and gritty, but opens with a joke about wanking off a bull. Amongst the dark and fairly ugly cinematography, we get these faux, bright colours, reminding me almost of Zack Snyder. The design of the Power Rangers were actually quite terrifying up close too, they had these cold dead eyes that would scare the shit out of me if that was in my face.

The new Rangers
None of the Power Rangers themselves have any kind of chemistry and to be honest, they're pretty unlikeable. I sort of appreciate them trying to spend more time with the characters rather than non-stop action, but what we were left of was mostly just boring. The lead actor, Dacre Montgomery is a bland, charisma vacuum that looks like the love-child of Zac Efron and Chris Pine. The use of a lesbian character is a nice touch, but they do absolutely nothing with it.

Contrasting the bland, lifeless cast of the Power Rangers is Elizabeth Banks villains, who is appalling. It just adds to the problematic mess this film is. This tries to be a grounded and gritty superhero film, but then they add Banks going full pantomine mode with a performance as laughable as the character's name, "Rita Repulsa".
Elizabeth Banks as "Rita Repulsa"
When the film finally does explode in the last 20 minutes with some action. It couldn't save it. It's just an extremely bland, CGI shit-fest of momentously boring giant things hitting eachother. They even throw in the original Power Rangers theme, which I laughed at, I'm not entirely sure the use of it was ironic or not? But it got a laugh out of me.

I have to mention the abhorrently obnoxious use of Krispy Kreme. Product placement is fine as long as it's not overdone. Power Rangers 2017 is a joke. I never thought I'd see a film where Krispy Kreme is actually a location of a secret object. There's even a scene during the final battle where Elizabeth Banks stops fighting in order to eat and savour a donut. I am not making this up. It was so vile and cynical.

I wish I had fun with Power Rangers, but there was nothing in it for me. It's part boring superhero origin story, part weird version of Breakfast Club, part Transformers (There's even a reference to Bumblebee) and part campy nonsense. It's a tonal nightmare that doesn't know what it wants to be. There's 5 sequels planned, I'm open to giving this series a chance to evolve, but if the next one is anything like this, then I'm out.
