D.C.Reviews

1) The Shape Of Water : Way back at the beginning of the year Guillermo Del Toro released The Shape Of Water which bagged him the Academy Awards for both director and best picture and deservedly so in my opinion. The Shape Of Water is a movie unlike any other I saw this year. It is breathtaking, ambitious, romantic and incredibly engrossing. Sally Hawkins performance as a mute woman was absolutely immense and at times had me even forgetting that she was playing a character. Michael Shannon put in a powerhouse performance that even made me a little bit afraid of him. The visuals were amazing, the acting was amazing and overall The Shape Of Water was cinema at it's absolute finest in 2018. If you haven't seen the movie I highly recommend it as I give it my favorite movie of 2018. 2) Mission Impossible Fallout : Incredible action set pieces and over the top stunts. What more could you want from a major blockbuster?? Tom Cruise and everyone else involved delivered one heck...

Besides the original Transformer movie I've never really enjoyed it's subsequent sequels and even slight reboot of the series..that is until Bumblebee here has come around. A prequel that takes place years before the original movie Bumblebee is one of the most fun heartwarming and energetic movies you'll see all year believe it or not. Hailee Steinfield stars as Charlie a former diving champion whose father unexpectedly passed away. After his passing Charlie loses almost all hope for life as she was the best part of him. On the morning of her 18th birthday and after trying to convince her mother to get her a car she ends up finding a yellow beetle car at the old garage where she helps out. Turns out this yellow beetle is none other than Bumblebee a robot capable of many amazing feats sent to Earth at the very beginning of the movie by Optimus Prime as a scout of sorts and after running into the military and taking on another robot he goes into hiding after being badly da...

Set many years after the original movie Mary Poppins Returns is a sequel in which Michael and Jane Banks are all grown up and after not only their fathers passing but the passing of Michaels wife leaving him and his sister to look after his children Michael begins working at the same bank as his father. One morning lawyers come to his door and state that his home is in fear of being repossessed as he has failed to keep up on repayments of a loan that he got from the bank. They give him only 5 days to sort it out before him and his family will be on the streets. It's a simple set-up and one that honestly goes by rather quickly. Having only watched the original Mary Poppins for the first time days before the release of it's sequel I have to say that I am very impressed. The original is an absolute classic and while this isn't perfect it almost is in every single way. Emily Blunt takes on the lead role this time around in place of Julie Andrews and she is splendid in the ...

The 6th movie into the DCEU gives us the origin tale of Arthur Curry. The son of a lighthouse keeper and a Queen of a civilization beneath the waves. Arthur is born to be king of Atlantis and rule over both it and the world above. Jason Mamoa reprises his role as the titular hero and he really is comfortable with this character now. Always cracking jokes and having a good time he IS Aquaman / Arthur Curry now. He shows a lot softer side to the character this time around however as he struggles to deal with both lifes he lives. He lives above the seas but he is bound to be the King of the ocean below. The way he struggles with his duties is entirely compelling throughout and the risks and battles he takes on to overcome everything put in his path is what ultimately makes him a hero. James Wan makes his entrance into the DCEU in style as he pulls off some of the most visually breathtaking scenes in comic book movie history. The first moment Arthur enters Atlantis with Mera (Amber He...

It begins pretty much from where it ended last week with Charlie looking down at Zari who got turned into a cat after Constantine pretty much screwed over the entire timeline. Charlie sets the jumpship to bring back Zari to the waverider as she gets off in Las Vegas 1962. Posing as Marilyn Monroe she encounters a magical leprachaun in a casino and the two talk. And it is here where the episode just chucks everything out the window. Nate, Rory and Ray bust in and Ray ends up killing the magical creature by shooting him right through the chest.

It begins where it ended in part 2 as a black suited Superman rushes into the scene confronting Barry & Oliver. Turns out this evil Superman is none other than John Deegan himself as he re-wrote reality in the last episode he done it so he would be Superman. The ultimate hero, who has everyone bowing to his will. Reminded me a lot of the Injustice games and comics which is what I'm sure they were going for here. At Star Labs and after Barry and Oliver escape his clutches Superman goes to see Kara in the pipeline whom he has had imprisoned. Kara desperately tries to get through to Alex who along with Killer Frost and Diggle are working for this evil Superman. Turns out he didn't onl...

Back at the ARGUS safe location and Oliver, Barry and Kara ask Dig and the others to keep Star City safe while they all go to Gotham City to try and find out and reverse exactly what happened to them.

Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it Part 1 of this year's crossover between The Flash, Arrow and Supergirl begins and my what an episode to begin with. It starts by introducing us to Doctor John Deegan a psychiatrist working in Gotham City. As he presents one of his classes he seems intent on making people super like Superman or Supergirl. This leads to most of the people in attendance to walk out leaving John Deegan with nothing to present anymore. Outside by his car he seems extremely frustrated by is interrupted by The Monitor who gives him a book that can help shape reality itself. He tells him to think big and it is here where the crossover really begins as we see Oliver wake up in Barry and Iris's bed. Oliver is awakened to see Iris in the kitchen who can now make perfect pancakes (unlike earlier in the season) and the two talk. As the scene goes on Oliver gets more and more agitated and uneasy as he ...

Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it The Flash's mid season finale which also happens to be it's 100th episode has come and gone and with it we're treated to past foes, past heartbreaks and a look at the future. It begins at Star Labs and after identifying Cicada at the end of last week's episode Team Flash tries to come up with some sort of weapon to try and counter act Cicada's dagger. Nora suggests a magnet of some sorts but the tech to develop such a weapon doesn't exist in the current time. But it is in the past. So with a mission to collect a piece of Savitar's suit, the speed force taking vial that Zoom used to take Barry's speed back in season and some dark matter from the Particle Accelerator. When all fused together it should prove effect against Cicada's dagger..in theory anyways.  So Barry and Nora set off to go back in time and their first stop is the final battle b...

Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it Arrow's mid season finale has come and gone and with it we get teases for the  present and future. It begins where we see a mysterious woman waking up to train and boy does she train hard. While making a blended up drink she sees the news on TV talking about Oliver and how will Star City accept the Green Arrow now that his identity is out in the open. Seconds later we see the same woman suiting up herself in the Green Arrow suit complete with bow before it cuts to the logo. More on who she is later though as it is a rather big reveal. The flash forwards return in this episode and after learning who Felicity last talked with William Dinah and Zoey go in search of someone named Black Star. They end up at a fighting ring where it just so happens Black Star is one of the main attractions where people come to bet on fights. After offering her some money Black Star talks a little a...

Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it What's that?? this episode of Legends Of Tomorrow is based around an evil spirit going inside of various creepy dolls and puppets and also heavily focuses on Constantine and finally introduces this season's big bad?? yes!..all that and more as this show ups the intensity factor on almost every level. It begins with Constantine who is dreaming. Dreaming of being in a pub and meeting a man who later becomes known as Des or Desmond if you will.

It begins with Nia who we see is apparently in some sort of danger from Agent Liberty who is seen wielding a gun in another woman's face. Nia wakes up almost instantly from this dream to her room mate sitting across from her. As we know Nia has been suffering from severe lack of sleep since she told everyone a couple of episodes back. As she heads to work she brings along 3 coffees with her to keep her awake throughout the day. Kara & James are surprised by this as all 3 meet in the elevator. Nia freaks out once more as the elevator door opens to reveal Agent Liberty standing in front of her..except he's not he's just on the TV. Kara promised James that she will speak to Nia later to find out just what is going on.  At the end of l...
