Justicethon Day 8

 No Spoilers
Justice League is directed by Zack Snyder and stars Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Jason Momoa, Gal Gadot, Ray Fisher and Ezra Miller.

Here we are. The Justicethon has come to an end.

Plot 
After the events of Batman v Superman, Batman (Ben Affleck) and Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) search to find three meta-humans, The Flash (Ezra Miller), Cyborg (Ray Fisher) and Aquaman (Jason Momoa) to create a superteam, the Justice League, to stop Steppenwolf (Ciarán Hinds) and his army of Parademons from hunting down the three Mother Boxes.

Review
Let me just say that this movie is awesome! I don't care what Rotten Tomatoes says, or that some people don't like it, this movie is awesome!

I'd say that with films such as this and Wonder Woman, the DCEU is taking a turn for the better, this isn't the greatest superhero film of 2017 (Logan is) but this is pretty good.

There is some obvious green screen here, since this had some reshoots because direcing went from Zack Snyder to Joss Whedon even though Snyder took full directing credit.

Some of the effects are great and some of them are not, and the ones that are not are pretty obvious

The cast is pretty good here, including the people I just mentioned.

I really like what they did with Superman here, (not gonna say) I think that this is the best Superman has been in the DCEU.

I hate how he looks though, he had a mustache while filming because he was filming something else so they removed it, and it just looks terrible. He looks like human Shrek.

Affleck, Gadot, and Miller are really good as their characters, so not much to say.

Ray Fisher is fine as Cyborg, you don't really know much about him unless you've read the comics.

Jason Momoa is probably the only person who can make Aquaman look cool, despite looking a little bit like the Aquaman from that  Battle for Atlantis game.

The other actors who don't really play big roles are fine too, like Amy Adams or Diane Lane, they're not bad.

I have an issue with the villain Steppenwolf, he's just a generic, bland, cookie cutter, big grey bad guy who wants to destroy the world.

The movie also features the theme from Tim Burton's Batman and the theme from Superman: The Movie and those were really cool.

There's also two post credits scenes, not saying what they are though.

Well, that's about all I can say in a non spoiler review, and I don't know how to end this review, so bye.

The Justicethon has concluded.

8.5/10 I don't care, I really liked this movie.

Best F(r)iends is directed by Justin MacGregor and stars Tommy Wiseau, Greg Sestero, who also wrote the movie, Kristen Stephenson Pino, Paul Scheer, Vince Jolivette, and Rick Edwards. Plot Jon (Greg Sestero), a homeless man, is living on the street until he is taken in by a mysterious mortician named Harvey (Tommy Wiseau) an they become business partners. However, both men are forced to learn about friendship and loyalty, which is where the title comes in. Review If you read the reviews I did of The Room and The Disaster Artist , you'd know that I'm a fan of both of those movies so naturally I was excited for this. Whether you like it depends on who you are. If you're a fan of The Room , you will probably like this, if not, then it's probably not worth your time. I don't want to go into too many spoilers in case you haven't seen it. I actually do understand the title for this movie, because it starts off with Jon and Harvey becoming friends and lat...

Mission: Impossible 2 - Film Review

Mission: Impossithon Day 2 Mission: Impossible 2 is directed by John Woo, and stars Tom Cruise, Thandie Newton, Ving Rhames, Dougray Scott, Richard Roxburgh, and Anthony Hopkins. Plot IMF Agent Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise, again) is sent to Sydney, to find and destroy a genetically modified disease called "Chimera". Review I didn't like this movie much, it's pretty forgettable. The first hour is slow and the action doesn't pick up as much until the second act. And I just couldn't get invested in it. I don't even remember some of the characters names, so I'll just refer to them by the actors' names. Also, if your movie is already as slow as Mission: Impossible 2 is, don't overuse slow-mo as much as Mission: Impossible 2 does. Also, this film originally had a 3 1/2 hour long cut. I'll pass on that. I will say, the movie is shot very well and some of the action scenes do look really good, but it's not enough to save this movie for...

Wonder Woman - Film Review

Justicethon Day 7 Wonder Woman is directed by Patty Jenkins and stars Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Danny Huston, Robin Wright and Connie Nielson. Wonder Woman is the fourth film in the DCEU and the second not directed by Zack Snyder. Plot Set in 1918, long before the other 3, Princess Diana (Gal Gadot) grows up on the Amazon island of Themyscira. American pilot Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) crashes offshore of the island and is rescued by Diana. After he tells Diana about World War I, she leaves her home in order to end the war. Review Let me just say: This is the best of the DCEU by far, it looks great, the story's great, the cast is great. This actually reminds me of two Marvel movies I've seen, Captain America: The First Avenger and Thor . CA:TFA was about a superhero going into a world war (I know they're 2 different wars) and Thor was about someone from another realm based on mythology coming into our society (I know Themyscira is on Earth and Asgard is on a dif...
