Captain Marvel (2019) Review


Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Reviews #100%, the place where you can be nerdy about movies!

Today, I will do the review for the newest addition in the MCU and that is Carol Danvers, a.k.a Captain Marvel. I should have done this review a couple of days ago because I have already seen the movie last weekend but, unfortunately, I did not have the time for it. Fortunately, I found some spare time today and I will give you my personal thoughts about it. It's what I expected? Did I like it? It was good? It was bad? All of these questions will be answered in the following paragraph.

What I can say, with all of my sincerity, is that the movie went somewhere that I did not expect and I was pleasantly surprised and confused at the same time, if that makes any kind of sense. I am saying that because the movie starts with kinda the middle part, then it goes one at the beginning, resulting into a confusing mashup of different timelines. Another thing that surprised me was the origin story because this is not your conventional and traditional origin story. I did like what they choose to do with that, making an origin story that is not about the titular character, which in this case being Captain Marvel but being all about Nick Fury, the Avengers, Agent Coulson, S.H.I.E.L.D and it ties in with the MCU in a much bigger way that I have expected.

The movie still has the successful recipe that Marvel is using since the beginning, with the first Iron Man. It is jam packed with humor, great action, excellent special effects, it's visually stunning and all of that makes for an effective debut into this franchise.

A little synopsis for you: Captain Marvel is an extraterrestrial Kree warrior who finds herself caught in the middle of an intergalactic battle between her people and the Skrulls. Living on Earth in 1995, she keeps having recurring memories of another life as U.S. Air Force pilot Carol Danvers. With help from Nick Fury, Captain Marvel tries to uncover the secrets of her past while harnessing her special superpowers to end the war with the evil Skrulls.

Acting wise, the standout was Ben Mendelsohn, who, I think, is destined to only play the antagonist in every movie but in this one it offers a nuanced performance. Sam Jackson in great and the de-aging technology that was used on him is one of the best in this franchise. Brie Larson was fine but I expected a bit more range and emotion from here. Jude Law was good as well but there, also, some characters here that brought nothing significant to the story, there were just there. Maybe in a future sequel.

Despite some problems and some flaws with the story and it's execution, which I did not mind that much, the movie was good. I had a lot of fun, I was very entertained and it's a enjoyable movie, for the most part. It has some two post credit scenes, the first one being the important one because it is connected with the upcoming Avengers:Endgame. Also, the ''cat'', Goose, is very hilarious and he deserves his own movie, starting alongside Rocket. Make that happen Marvel! :)) 8/10

OK guys, that is my review for this one. More reviews coming your way, I hope. Until then, take care, stay movie nerdy and keep on reviewing!

In The Mood For Love Movie Review

In the Mood for Love(O iubire imposibilă-2000)-Regia:Kar Wai Wong Comentariu:Filmul “In the Mood for Love” regizat de către Kar Wai Wong este un film frumos şi mai ales poetic. Ȋn ceea ce priveşte acţiunea nu este foarte ofertant, dar compensează în domeniul stărilor şi emoţiilor pe care acest film vrea să le suprindă. Filmul prezintă o anumită lentoare şi repetitivitate a scenelor, de la mişcările personajelor la curgerea timpului. Este o dramă neaşteptată, plină de-o emoţie şi-o culoare deosebită, iar puterea filmului vine din tensiunea acumulată pe parcurs stingându-se în scorbura unui copac, unde bărbatul îşi lasă toate amintirile. Cele două personaje nu au măsura timpului iar iubirea lor îi menţine într-o stare atemporală, vraja neputând fi ruptă decât prin prefacere sau negare, aceste lucruri ducând la o despărţire totală. Ȋn concluzie filmul merită văzut dar e nevoie de-o răbdare şi-o sensibilitate enormă pentru a te adapta acelui ritm şi a trece dincolo de coaja lucrur

Remembering Carrie Fisher (1956 - 2016)

Carrie Fisher Tribute Man, this year, 2016, continues to deliver us untimely deaths of celebrities and,  tuesday, we find out that Carrie Fisher has passed away. A very sad moment, especially for those who grow up with her and the Star Wars movies. Of course, her most memorable role was Princess Leia in the Star Wars saga but she was also a true activist, humanitarian and writer. This is just the worst and I can't believe she has left this world. It is a shocking news and I still can't believed it. R.I.P. Carrie Fisher, you will be missed.

Wind River (2017) Movie Review

Wind River (2017) Review Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Talks with Tudor! For today, I have prepared three new reviews for three movies, one was good and the other two not so much. So let's start with the good one and I mean this one, of course. If you have seen "Sicario" and "Hell or High Water" and you enjoy watching those movies you will certainly enjoy this one as well. And it is based on real events so it has that reality based element, which is going to make you appreciate this movie even more. It's smartly written, beautifully executed, with the environment playing a big part in inducing the viewer into the chilling atmosphere of the story. It's dramatic, filled with emotions, suspense and thrills and it will keep you invested from beginning to end. It has a fast pace and, although it has it slower moments, it does not get boring. On the contrary, it becomes more interesting. Love the cast, great cast and, of course, great performances
