Avengers Endgame: "Game over man"! NON SPOILER REVIEW!

-




After 10 years of witnessing the exploits of Iron Man, Captain America Thor and so many other characters courtesy of Marvel's very own cinematic Universe, it’s time to close the curtain of what was (still is?) the greatest Superhero saga ever!

The long-awaited sequel to 2018's Avengers Infinity War brings virtually everything to its inevitable conclusion with the remaining members of Earth's Mightiest heroes, trying to pick up the pieces left after the great snap. Tony Stark finds himself drifting into space with little hope and little oxygen, only to find salvation thanks to a bright light of hope. Sometimes afterwards. the surviving Avengers make a few desperate attempts to retrieve the stones and stop Thanos from starting his mass genocidal attack once more.

The film runs practically 3 hours long and at times, I found myself a little fatigued at part of the film’s pacing and in my opinion, some of the scenes weren’t needed or at least it could have been chopped down, but I digress. The humor at times, felt forced to balance out the melancholy and in some ways, were just silly, e.g. one scene whereas what appeared to be during Thanos’ final move or “America’s Ass”. I’m having flashbacks of Poe Dameron’s conversation with General Hux prior to his attack on the Dreadnaught. The story for the most part was efficient, and I enjoyed the performances by Downey, Evans, Ruffalo, Helmsworth, Cooper and Rudd. 

You can sense the tension between Stark and Rogers when the meet face to face for the first time post Civil War . I won't delve any further in order to sidestep spoiler territory for those few who have yet to see Endgame, but there is a lot of shit that goes down especially during the 3rd act and this is where the sequel really gains momentum! You have espionage, sabotage, hope. redemption and sacrifice.

What I admired mostly about Endgame, is the story and how the Avengers despite losing all hope, manage to find a way of doing the impossible even if it seemed unfathomable. Also, the Easter eggs and callbacks were excellent and easy to spot for those who are not “normies” my favorite moment goes to well, I won't say it, but  it has something to do with a hammer. I will do a follow up spoiler review very soon full of reactions, comments and nitpicks. Overall Avengers Endgame is a very satisfying conclusion to an amazing Superhero saga!

The Oscar's is soon approaching and while this year's 55th Academy Awards will take extra precaution due to a silly incident, let’s not forget how the hypocrites from the American Academy of Motion pictures and science, awarded Director "Raping" Roman Polanski for 2004's The Pianist as best picture. As of recent, one of Polanski's biggest fans, Harvey Weinstein has received an additional 16 year sentence for rape and sexual assault but prior to his scandalous trial, which more than 80 women made allegations of sexual harassment and/or rape against the infamous producer. But prior to these allegations, leading to his sentencing, Weinstein formed a petition for the release of notorious Polish filmmaker Roman Polanski who drugged, raped and sodomized a 13-year-old girl, as a result became a fugitive from the U.S. criminal justice system, since 1978, after pledging guilty for his heinous crime. When Polanski was arrested in Zurich, Switzerland, in correlation to h

THE RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD!!!FACT!!!

Written by Creepythinman Dan O'Bannon's The Return of the Living Dead is my number one favorite movie and the one I’ve watched more than any other in my lifetime and that’s because the film is a masterpiece of the zombie genre. I used to watch it a few times a week during my childhood and would have it playing in the background, when not studying or banging beaver where I would devour textbooks and pussy like a putrescent corpse eats BRAINS! But I always wondered why this movie above all others fascinated me ever so? It could be because I love zombies and have watched, read and played almost everything to do with them in every form of media. It pleases me that the living dead have rightfully taken their place as the great cinematic monster of our time when they used to be regarded as a mongrel sub-genre before George A. Romero’s seminal masterpiece Night of the Living Dead (1968) became the defining Horror movie of the last century. As I’ve said many times before, there are onl

Miami Vice: Freefall (Review and retrospective of the series finale.)

Miami Vice finale: Freefall (1989) Directed by Russ Mayberry Reviewer’s note: Originally, I planned on doing a write up last year which was the benchmark of this episode’s 30th anniversary but was either sidetracked or too lazy. So now, here we are. We had one hell of a run, didn't we, partner." That quote pretty much sums it all! 1989, was the bookend of the greatest decade of popular culture. The 1980's was on its way out. But before fading out, there was this finale of yet another great series which defined  this exciting decade: NBC's Miami Vice 1984-1989.  This Crime Drama was innovative on so many levels, be it the implementation of adding rock songs within scenarios,  Jan Hammer's amazing soundtrack, adult subject matter that at times were disturbing,  solid character arcs, the introduction of then unknown actors like Julia Roberts, Bruce Willis and Wesley Snipes just to name a few, the bromance between Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs, gorgeous nightlife sc
