The Suicide Squad review. Non spoilers

I remember a couple of months ago when I first saw the first trailer for this movie I didn’t see too much to it except for the forced comedy and the over the top jokes and the blood and guts being shown off. It looked cool but I didn’t have much stock into the movie. To me it looked like a Rated R version to “Guardians of The Galaxy”. Also to ad i at this point from all the backstage news I read about Warner Bros and Zack snyders Justice league not continuing, I didn’t care anymore. As a long time dc fan and a fan of Dceu, for the first time I wasnt invested in watching a dc movie. My girlfriend on the other hand did have interest which suprised me because she doesn’t really care for the super hero genre.

To my suprise my girlfriend and I ended up loving. It was a lot of fun and not as much forced comedy like I thought there would be. There was a little but I think that is the style of James Gunn. I got hooked pretty quick into the movie and it starts off pretty fast. The style of it is pretty clever and the movie overall takes a lot of chances that pay off.

The new team is led by newcomer “Bloodsport” played by (Idris Elba aka Stringer Bell) is great in this. He does a great job as a bitter and angry now I don’t know much about this character background but he does has a pretty impressive background with taking out the man of steel himself. He leads the team of “Peacemaker” played by (John Cena) who does a great job in the movie. Along side with “Rat Catcher 2″ played by (Daniela Melchior). King Shark” played by the great (Slyvester Stallone). And “Poka-dot man” played by (David Dastmalchian) who ended up being my favorite out of the team. Harley Quinn and Rick Flag also return along with Amanda Waller

A first team is sent out on a mission and well things do not go as well and a second team must go in and save the day but what they find during the course of the mission, lets just say this mission will be more of a suicide mission when they have to battle a large Star fish from outer space.

In my opinion the trailers did not do this movie justice. I ended up liking this one alot nore then the orginal and I want to note I actually liked the first one but this one was much funner to watch and this one takes alot of risks that I like. The action was on point, in fact I even liked it so much that I watched it twice last weekend. The small easter eggs were all over the place and even though I am not the biggest fan of the director I do hope he continues the suicide squad.

So if you are looking for a great action packed, blood splattering comic book film then this is the one for you. Over two hours of all that you forget the movie is pretty long. So if you need something to watch then this is it and enjoyed. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did and hope you safe and great. weekend

Welcome Back to the Space Jam. Space Jam Legacy review

Looks like hes getting ready to trade this squad for Russel Westbrook.

So after a month of being away and doing some traveling. After getting back home me and my daughter decides to watch the new Space Jam movie. She loves basketball and loves Lebron so what the heck. Its a funny way to introduce her to “Looney Tunes” characters. I remember watching the first one as a kid with my cousons. I honestly didnt care to watch because growing up i couldnt stand Michael Jordan or the bulls. I grew up being a Golden State Warriors fans since i grew up in the bay area. Overall the orginal was fun and i ended up enjoying it. Fast foward 25 years and here i am again watching thr new one. Now im not a Lebron fan, i respect his game and everything he does for the kids and etc but once again, I am a warriors fan so i got some biterness towards him.

Overall I had fun watching it, sure it was hella cheesey and corney but what do you expect from this type of premise but the cgi was really cool to look at and seeing all the WB properties come to life. Lebron acting was very, very stale but i dont think this guy ever came and compared himself to a Leonardo Dicaprio.

The plot is out of this world, literally. Lebron James son “Dom James” played by the up and coming actor Cedric Joe who creates a basketball video game. His father wants him to focus on his game of basketball before he leaves for basketball camp but Dom has no interest. While all of this happening, a new villian Al-G Rhythm (get it?) Played by the great and my favorite actor Don Cheadle. AL-G Rhythm plots in the virtual world to gain more power and what better way to do that then use the most popular athlete in the world Lebron James. During a pitch meeting, Lebron and Dom have a falling out and Dom gets sucked in the virtual world and Lebron must save his son. Lebron jumps in the virtual world. Now to save his son, Lebron must defeat Al-G Rhythm in a basketball game created by Dom himself. Lebron needa help and he gets it from the new tune squad.

Now I know alot of people my age have been tearing down this movie. Ripping it apart but honestly it was just fun with very bad acting like the orginal. I am also not a hardcore fan of space Jam and I also dont mind these movies or cartoons being remade for kids. I will never tell my daughter she can not watch a cartoon or movie due to my anger or my nostalgia of something. Also like I said earlier my daughter loves Lebron so I am going to resepect her love for the man. And she is also playing basketball and getting pretty good at it. Overall I gve the movie a B-. I had fun watching it, rolled my eyes a couple of times but not in a serious way. The acting is bad and the plot is what it is. My daughter had fun watching it and I had fun watching it with her.

I know this will not be a very popular review since I have seen so much hate for Lebron on differen’t websites and blogs and grown men and women losing their stuff since this movie was announced. But overall itsa cute kids movie and I do not watch many of these type of movies. So if your kid is having fun and enjoys this type of stuff, do not kill their love for it, maybe give it a chance and maybe watch it with them and try to have fun with them.

MORTAL KOMBAT REVIEW spoiler free

Orginally i wasnt going to do a review of this movie but i remembered that this was orginally going to be a geek culture blog before i seen all the toxicness that comes with it. Since i have always been a die hard fan of mortal kombat since i was 6 years old. Too me this movie did not dissapoint me at all. Ive heard the negative reviews and from youtubers and other social media sites and thats okay. Me personsally i loved it. I had some issues with it but i am not much of a nitpicker when it comes to movies. This one was really fun, loved the bloodshed and the action. I loved the easter eggs and i love the set up to the next movies (i got my fingers crossed). I know i will catch some flack for this review but whatever.

It was great to watch it from the comfort of my own since theaters are still not open in my town. Overall the action was great, the story was kind of short but i can understand why even though i wish it was longer. The story had some changes from the original lore like the way the fighters were chosen for the tournament and the addition of “Cole Young” (which i was a fan of).

The characters were cool to see come alive again especially my boy Kung Lao. “Sub Zero” reminded me alot of “Michae Myers” in some scenes which i thought was incredible. I enjoyed seeing another one of my favorites Kabal get some screen time. “Kano” who i was never really a fan of may have actually been my favorite in the movie. I enjoyed the new “Shang Tsung” and Raiden as well. “Jax” did the damn thing and sonya was spot on. For the dissapointment in some of the characters like General Reiko who i have been a huge fan of since his debut in MK4, well he was kind of just there lol but what can you do? Now for the new character “Cole Young”. I enjoyed him alot and also i was happy the continued the traditon of adding a new character like they have always done in every game that has came out. Also always been a huge fan of Lewis Tan since seeing him in “Iron Fist” and “Into The Bad Lands”. He brought some heart into the film and i hope to see more of him in the future sequel films. No johnny cage was not a issue for ne since i have never really been a fan of him but im sure we may see him in future films as well. I enjoyed the performances overall and it was great to see Joe Taslim as sub zero go up against Hiroyuki Sanada as Scorpion (my all time favorite mk character). Ludi Lin was amazing as “Liu Kang”as well.

We also should remember that this is pre tourmaent time so dont expect the much honor among the villans in this film even though they dont really have honor in the video games either. The story goes really fast kind of how the first games were especially when there was no pause button in the first two games.

Overall i had alot of fun, so much fun i watched it twice. I hope for alot of success for this movie where maybe another movie studio will take chance with another great fighting games series that i have loved since i was 3 years old. “Street Fighter”. One can only hope. Overall for a MK movie i give it a 9/10 just wish it was longer and the editing could use some work imo. For a overall movie i give it a 8.5/10. Keep in my mind i am not a vert strict critic, i dont really watch movies to really critique them for a youtube page but i do plan on starting to give viewers some movie suggestions in future and focus more on the geek culture again just for fun. As for theories well i have a few but i dont want to spoil much for the readers just in case you if people not watched it yet.

I can understand people’s complaints about the movie but at the end the issues dont bother me that much as long it doesnt take away my fun from the movie. Im not going to compare it to the 95 film since times have changed so much and both have their differences and both are great in their own rights. Now if you dissagree i am totally fine with but lets remember to keep it respectful. I have seen the toxic and over the top debats that go online about this topic.
