The Suicide Squad review

Image
  Back in 2016 David Ayer unleashed Suicide Squad to the world. Featuring a world taken over Harley Quinn played by Margot Robbie, a somewhat controversial Joker in Jared Leto and overall while I wasn't the biggest fan of the movie it did have some redeeming qualities. 5 years later and while some familiar faces have returned it's a new director in the hot seat. James Gunn has written and directed The Suicide Squad and not only does it improve over the previous movie in almost every category it expands the DC Universe in a massive way featuring a sleuth of villains both well known and not so well known. Returning characters like Harley Quinn, Rick Flag and Amanda Waller are all back but now also along for the ride are names like Bloodsport, Peacemaker, Ratcatcher 2 and King Shark. And boy do they bring the star quality too with names like Idris Elba, John Cena and even Peter Capaldi joining the chaos.  The Suicide Squad's premise is pretty similar to the previous movie.

The Flash 7x18 : Heart of the Matter - Part 2 review.

Image
              Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* inv olved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. The season finale of The Flash's seventh season has come and gone and with it we got the showdown between The Flash and Godspeed, the return of an adversary and a renewal of vows. The episode begins with Bart still in a coma as we saw last week. Nora who is speaking with Caitlin is struggling with the situation. Not only is Bart in a coma, but they have no real way of him right now and her dad (Barry) is still inside of the mindscape of August Heart. Speaking of being inside at the end of last weeks episode we saw Barry confront the true August Heart. Well this week we learn of his almighty plan and to be honest it's kind of weak. He just wants organic speed instead of artificial speed. If he doesn't get his wish both he and his clones will lay waste to everything and everyone in their path. Barry downright refuses however which leads to h...

Superman & Lois 1x13 : Fail Safe review

Image
              Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* inv olved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. Another week and yet another great episode of Superman & Lois. This weeks episode begins with plenty of little tidbits of info. We learn that Morgan Edge is in custody at the D.O.D, Leslie who was his assistant is in the wind for now and that Ex-Kryptonite which Morgan Edge had been using on his subjects during his experiments is to extracted from the mines in Smallville so that nobody can ever use it again. With Clark now letting John Henry Irons stay onside at the Kent Farm the two attempt to bond outside of their alter egos with Clark offering him a lifetime supply of food for saving him. It'll be interesting to see if this friendship becomes a big part of the show going forward. As for the boys they go off to school where a special assembly is taking place to discuss Morgan Edge and his intentions for Smallville. With everything no...

Legends Of Tomorrow 6x10 : Bad Blood review

Image
              Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* inv olved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. After last weeks pretty abysmal outing can the Legends of Tomorrow return to some form of normality this week? that being said has this show ever truly been normal? with that being said the episode begins with Constantine who is still searching heavily for map to the Fountain of Imperium. He is seen questioning Aliestar Crowley who does know where the map is and who has it. A knock on the door is soon heard and the holder of the map is a woman. Well she's a Vampire and can't come inside unless she is invited in by Constantine. When she is inside she hands over the map and something else belonging to Crowley. A bottle of mysterious red liquid. A red liquid that it turns out grants whoever drinks it the ability to conduct magic but at a cost. Said cost isn't expanded upon however so it'll be interesting to see things play out especially give...

Space Jam : A New Legacy review

Image
  Who remembers the original Space Jam?? starring Michael Jordan who arguably is one of the greatest basketball players to ever step on the court was a fun. family friendly adventure. With 25 years having passed and with this generations best ball player Lebron James in the hot seat can this version of Space Jam destroy it's predecessor's range on the court? the movie begins and almost right away it's clear to see that Lebron James just isn't quite up to the task here. His acting is totally one note and almost monotone at times. It's like he's in one gear and it doesn't change for the entirety of the movie. From his relationship with his son to the friendships he makes with the Looney Toons gang it's all average and while the Looney Toons do bring the comedy there really just isn't enough here to to really stand out.  As for the story overall it's been massively updated from the original with improved technology as expected. From phones, livestre...

The Flash 7x17 : Heart of the Matter - Part 1 review

Image
              Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* inv olved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. The first of a two part season finale of The Flash season 7 begins in 2049. We see Godspeed tearing through the city with Nora West Allen (XS) hot on his tail. She ends up stopping him with a speedforce like whip which takes him to the ground. It doesn't last very long however soon enough Godspeed is back on his feet and ready to unleash his energy on XS. Another speedster then zips in by phasing right through Godspeed. This of course is Bart Allen (Impulse) and he stops Godspeed right in his tracks by doing this. Godspeed does end up phasing himself. He phases through the ground as they get a report that Godspeed is heading straight for The Flash Museum. Inside both Allen kids arrive but they're too late. Godspeed can be seen using the Cosmic Treadmill to travel back in time. The speedsters both follow him which is how they've ended up in...

Superman & Lois 1x12 : Through the Valley of Death review

Image
              Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* inv olved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. Superman & Lois returns from it's hiatus and last time out we were treated to a season best episode can this episode continue in that vain? we begin as we see John Henry Irons in his RV. He is looking for someone who we hear his AI say is this Earth's counterpart to his younger sister. He stops her getting out of a cab but then ends up getting a call from Lois Lane. The same call we saw her make at the end of the previous episode. John was right Superman has been turned. It leads right into this new episode as we're then back with Superman who hasn't been fully turned yet but is instead trying his upmost to fight back against what is happening to him. With each passing moment however he is struggling to fight back as the eradicator pushes him further and further into a monster so to speak. Back in Smallville and both Johnathan and Jord...
