D.C.Reviews

Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it.  This is it. The end of an era. The final episode of Arrow has come and gone and with it we said goodbye to not only a legend in Oliver Queen but to the show that started it all. There would be no Flash, Supergirl, Legends Of Tomorrow etc without this show and no matter how people may feel about it personally it's impact is going to forever remembered. The episode begins with various little flashbacks. It amps up however when we see Slade Wilson going to kill Moira Queen from way back in season 2. Back then he did kill Oliver's mother but now Oliver breaks free and saves his mom stopping Slade in the process. This is the first of now many changes having been made to the Universe thanks to Oliver's sacrifice. Moira Queen lives on, so does Quentin Lance who is still the Mayor but is soon retiring aiming to pass the torch to Rene and so on.  More flashbacks follow like ...

Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it.  Winn returns, The prototype Watchtower gets revealed and lots more. Supergirl is back to her almost best after last week's pretty non existent episode. The episode begins with a bike driving Brainy who places a trap on the road. For what?? well it's to stop a bus right in it's tracks as the driver is none other than Winn himself. Well it's not the Winn we know it's the demented Toyman version who is following on from his father's footsteps after he was wronged by a colleague. Lex Luthor with Brainy's help ends up recruiting him for his cause mainly as a distraction as he gives Winn the push to embrace his Toyman side as he gives him the location of National City Toy Convention. At the Toy Convention we see Lex being interviewed by Kara and William. Lex is getting his own action figure as William tells Kara in secret that he thins something is up with...

Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it.  Batwoman returns once again and after last week's ending which saw Beth re-enter Kate's life completely out of left field this episode does have a lot of explaining to do. The episode begins with more flashbacks of a young Beth and her whole ordeal of being held captive by a man who really we know little about really. Also present in the house is Mouse who we see give Beth a gift on her birthday. It's a kitten which Beth immediately takes a shine to. She has to hide it however whenever her captor enters the room much to her and Mouse's sadness. Her captor enters the room and offers her a candle to blow out on her small birthday cake and asks Beth to wish for something. Beth says her wish a loud which is to see her family again but it won't come true now as saying wishes out loud doesn't make them come through according to her captor. As the episode goe...

Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it.  Arrow's second last episode ever begins with Laurel showing up to a club. Inside she quickly warns a young woman to leave as her safety is in jeopardy. Of course she doesn't listen and does end up getting kidnapped by two people who drag her out with Laurel in hot pursuit. We quickly get a shot of the city before Star City 2040 appears on the screen. We are in the future again and it's after the events of Crisis On Infinite Earths. Next up we see Mia Queen waking up in her room. She checks up the latest news but is interrupted by JJ who we know as Deathstroke in the future but it turns out that both him and Mia are very much together in this new version of reality. JJ even proposes to Mia who says yes just as she is about to graduate from college. Something her father never did. Speaking of her father it's now been 20 years since Oliver sacrificed himself for ...

Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it.  Legends Of Tomorrow resumes it's regular scheduled programming as season 5 begins where Crisis On Infinite Earths ended. After the events of season 4 and how it ended it turns out that the Legends are now household names complete with commercials a plenty, people going wild for them wherever they are seen and even awards are being thrown at them.This leads to a camera crew coming aboard the waverider to film a documentary on just how the Legends do things from day to day. So that means right off the bat this doesn't just feel like any normal episode of Legends Of Tomorrow (When does one even feel normal at this point??) but it feels more self aware and breaks the fourth wall plenty of times mentioning how badly effects look to even talking about the crossover and how some of the group did not even take part. We get a montage of what the hero's have been up to while ...

Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it.  Supergirl returns after it's mid season hiatus and after the events of Crisis On Infinite Earths things will never truly be the same. The episode begins with a DEO advert showcasing the relationship and promise between Lex, Lena and Supergirl to strive to make the world a better place. We then see Kara and Alex walking along as the advert ends with Kara's reaction being that of disgust. Between last week and now J'onn has restored Alex's memory which gets her back on board with Kara and everything else ongoing. Next thing we see is Lena wake up and she suddenly remembers everything. She is greeted by Lex who asks for her to be by his side and work together again. Crisis changed his mindset on everything and he wants to be better. Not believing a thing he says Lena agrees to nothing for now and even has the same speech said by Supergirl to her later. Not one to b...

Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it.  Batwoman returns to it's regular storyline after not only it's mid season hiatus but also after the events of Crisis On Infinite Earths and to say things have changed would be an understatement. The episode begins aboard a subway train. Things soon take a turn for the worse as the train begins to pick up speed and shows no sign of slowing down. It passes on people on boards drop off points and keeps going with a voice over saying that they've lost all control over the CPU which controls everything. With people on board freaking out the next thing we see is Batwoman in action on her bat bike heading to the final stop on the train's decent. She stops her bike gets off and uses a hook launching it at the back of the train stopping it just before it collides with a wall. The hook she fired quickly loses grip and fires back at her but a cop saves Batwoman which leads...

Back when the first trailer for Bombshell arrived and Margot Robbie, Nicole Kidman and an almost unrecognizable Charlie Theron stepped into a elevator together it was incredible. The tension was palpable and it look genuinely interesting. Fast forward to it's release and while the movie as a whole isn't bad by any means it certainly is underwhelming in places. Performance wise Bombshell is pretty good with performances that range from great in Charlie Theron, to good in Nicole Kidman and not so good in Margot Robbie. It's actually John Lithgow who steals the show here in my opinion as the head honcho of Fox News whose relationships with his employees gets put to the forefront in a second half that is riveting and compelling to watch unfold.  Bombshell is a based on a true story which does it make it easier to both connect with and sympathize with the characters better. The vicious, isolated feeling of being sexual harassed in the workplace is horrific for anyone to ...

Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it.  The final part of DC's gigantic crossover Crisis On Infinite Earths starts back in a normal looking place. It's Kara's apartment and she immediately wakes up being greeted by Alex. Kara gets extremely jittery as her mind races on what just happened and how she is back on her Earth. As Alex goes to leave Nia rings Kara asking her where she is as she is needed right away. The Nobel Peace Prize is to be awarded and Andrea Rojas wants it covered. Kara swoops in and is greeted by her worst nightmare. The person being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize is none other than Lex Luthor who last we saw back at the Dawn Of Time fighting off Shadow Demons. Things only get worse for Kara though as not only is Lex considered an amazing human but he also owns the DEO and is Supergirl's boss. Both he and Lena are her #1 supporters according to Alex and have supported her and built he...

Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it.  DC's gigantic crossover finally returns and there is a lot of surprises in store.The fourth part of Crisis On Infinite Earths begins thousands of years in the past with the origin of how both The Monitor and the Anti-Monitor came to be. We see The Monitor (Mar Novu) conducting experiments with his wife whom he calls The Monitor. He is merely a time traveler while she is The Monitor. So what is his latest experiment?? to travel to the Dawn Of Time. Novu open a portal and ends up in the Temporal Zone where we always see The Waverider residing in. Communications get lost between Novu and his wife as he breaks the barrier between his universe and the Anti-Matter universe which in turn lets the Anti-Monitor out into the main universe. Back at the Vanishing Point we see our Paragons still stranded between space and time. Sara mentions how The Flash has been missing for months now...

Kristen Stewart's stock has been on the rise lately. She's been putting in some great performances as she grows more and more as an actress and with her new movie Seberg she once more shows off her acting prowess. Seberg tells the real life story of French New Wave icon Jean Seberg in the late 1960's. Her involvement both romantically and politically with a civil rights movement leader raises many eyebrows which leads to her being investigated and monitored by the FBI. Kristen Stewart is absolutely fantastic here with a performance that is raw, emotional and at times inspiring. Watching her life spiral completely out of control as numerous stories of her get leaked to the press which in turns drives her crazy was nothing short of captivating and engrossing. She is the standout here in a script that unfortunately is quite bland and dull at points.  There's a pretty strong cast here including, Vince Vaughn, Jack O Connell, Colm Meaney and more. They all do a fine jo...

World War I one of the most awful, brutal and vicious eras of all time. 1917 tells the story of two young men given an impossible mission. Deliver a message deep in enemy territory that will stop 1600 men and one of the soldiers brothers from walking straight into a trap. Around 15 or so mins into 1917 you'll quickly realize that this is unlike any war type movie before. It's continuously shot with the 2 main characters's journey continuing with every single step each getting more and more tense as a lot is really at stake here. If you're going to 1917 for an action fix then you will be sadly disappointed. 1917 is like I said before unlike any war type movie before as it uses it's two main leads to charge forward and you really do feel like you're walking right alongside them.  Director Sam Mendes has crafted a beautiful albeit dreary world here as the war really has taken its toll. Trees chopped down, burning fields, puff of smoke all are now the norm with...
