Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol.3 review

 

I loved the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie. Back in 2014 it felt incredibly fresh and vibrant. Fast forward to it's sequel and I felt like a lot of things that made the original so great were missing. So now with what is supposed to be the final chapter of this iteration of the Guardian's story will it be a grand farewell or a total flop?? Some time has passed since we last saw the Guardians who are now all together staying in a sort of makeshift village / shantytown. All that goes to utter waste when a strange being comes crashing in (literally) looking for Rocket Raccoon. All hell breaks loose leading to Rocket being badly injured with the only thing to save him being to lift a security bypass inside of him so he can be treated properly. Will the Guardians save the day and their friend??


Rocket Raccoon. This story is focused very heavily on him and to be honest it's one of the most emotional super-hero movies you're bound to see whether that be now, the past or in the future. Rocket's life has not been an easy one as he has been tortured and preyed upon by this movies villain The High Evolutionary who wants to create a perfect colony of human and animal hybrids. The scenes involving Rocket and his rag-tag group of equally disfigured friends are both heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. They sprinkled around the movie as it's main core and it really benefits from this form of storytelling. As for everyone else they all do a great job here as usual as you'd expect. Dave Bautista's Drax once again being the major comic relief here but overall the tone is a lot more serious and the characters more deep and explored. This includes Peter Quill whose struggle with having to work with a woman who looks exactly like the love of his life as it really does take it's toll on him. 


James Gunn has crafted an amazing story here on all fronts. The Rocket Raccoon backstory is tragic, the final mission of the Guardians of the Galaxy is big, bold and utterly bonkers and by the time the credits roll you'll fondly remember all the memories we've shared with them over the past 9 years. This is easily the best Marvel / MCU movie in some time and shows that when you have a good story with well developed characters you can pull off a truly epic comic book movie!

★★★★

Fighting with my Family review

Image
The Knight Family are a unique bunch to say the least. Not only do all the children wrestle but so do the mother and father. And out of that we got Paige. Florence Pugh stars as Saraya Knight a young girl from Norwich England. Her brother Zak Knight played by Jack Lowden has one dream. Of making it to the WWE and he will do anything to make it all possible. At it's core Fighting With My Family is exactly what the title says. A family who fight as we're shown the entire Knight family wrestling in small venues in Norwich. Ricky Knight who is the father wants so much for his kids to succeed and after sending tapes to WWE for them to review and possibly accept both Saraya and Zak for a tryout the family gets it's wish as WWE visits the UK for it's European tour. This is when we meet Vince Vaughn's character who is the guy in charge of recruiting talent and pushing them to see how far they can go and how much they have in them to make it to the top.

With that being said let's get into it Gotham finally returns for it's fifth and sadly last season and with a run of only 12 episodes there is a lot to get through and eventually wrap up. It begins on Day 391 of No Man's Land as the final battle for Gotham comes to a head as Captain Gordon, Harvey Bullock, Riddler and even Penguin all suit up and get loaded for combat as all men led by many more GCPD officers open fire from a top a massive wall as Jim Gordon says ''For Gotham'' this of course is going to be the end of the season but let's go all the way back to day 87 of No Man's Land where we see Gordon talking to someone on a radio.

Superman & Lois 3x13 : What Kills You Only Makes You Stronger review

Image
                Be warned there will be SP OILERS* inv olved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. Season 3 of Superman and Lois has come to and end in the most devastatingly epic way. The finale opens up with Sam Lane telling Lois and Clark that Lex Luthor is nowhere to be found. Clark adds more to this by saying he can't hear him either but Lois is not convinced after all Lex did literally threaten her at the end of last weeks episode. A meteor shower is planned for the evening right at the center of Smallville town so you just know something is going to go down then and as expected something major does go down but more on that a bit later. As the boys leave the house Lois tells Clark that she is ready to be intimate again and the two fly off to a private secluded area where they can be together for the first time since Lois had her breasts removed due to her cancer. It's a tender moment and one that does feel very important fo...
