Captain Marvel (2019)
Unnecessary SJW BS
So after 21 movies and 10 years of set up we get introduced to an overpowered super hero who could destroy Thanos in 7 weeks time!
The acting by Larson is so wooden even the cat has more personality.
The use of 90s music was terrible (and I love 90s music).
The explanation of Fury's eye has now become a joke which makes him less of a badass when seen in previous films.
Fury was the best part of the movie and the de-aging was spot on.
The use of the tesseract was ok but doesn't make sense to how she didn't die from exposure. I thought we were done with the infinity stones anyway. Why shoehorn it in.
Worst of all was the reveal about the Avengers name. That was truely cringeworthy and a terrible way to end the movie.
The mid credits scene was problably the best bit, just to see the heroes we really love!
Overall the blandness and SJW BS reminded me of what Disney has done with Last Jedi and Solo. Last Jedi because it has an agenda to create a Mary Sue who will bring balance to Thanos and Solo as it was unnecessary to have an origins movie at this time and try to answer questions we didn't need answering.
Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi (2017)
Critics love it??? Are they scared of losing their Disney invites?
A movie with tons of set-up and misdirection which ultimately leaves you empty. A poor story overall and decisions which will leave star wars fans fuming.
+ Throne room scene - One of the best in the whole SAGA
+ Holden Hyperspace scene self sacrifice.
+ Some great jokes and nods to previous canon.
+ Rey and Kylo's interactions via force.
+ Seeing Yoda again
+ Caretakers
- Whole Kanto Bite sequence.
- Space Leia
- Killing off snoke too soon and in that way.
- Too much misdirection pretending to kill off other characters (Finn, Rose, Leia)
- Phasma ruined again (shes the baddest ass in the galaxy - read the novel).
- Luke giving him up to the force.
- So much misplaced humor (Put a shirt on, holding for hux)
- General Holden subplot. Why keep the plan a secret?
- The whole thing about ships running out of fuel.
- Maz cameo
- DJ being underused.
- BB8 being a convenient plot device over and over. BB8-ex machina
- No knights of Ren.
- Why did Maz have Luke's Lightsaber?
- Rey's parents being nobodys and Snoke having no backstory.
Disney need to rethink. Wonder how Lucas feels.
1,000 Places to See Before You Die (2007)
Uninspiring
This series had a lot of potential and I sat through 3 episodes of it. The hosts completely ruined it as they are so ignorant of travel and have nothing interesting to say other than a place being "incredible" or "awesome". They keep trying to justify the fact they are now "travellers" as they get an all expenses paid TV series around the world, and clearly had never stepped outside of their state back in America.
For backpackers this series is a real turn off since everything they do is dependent on a guide and with 5 star luxuries from the hotels to the activities they do that most travellers would not afford (or care for). There is no sense of adventure or excitement here! They seriously need to go and do some travelling independently and really see the world!
