After Life: Episode #2.6 (2020)
Funny, emotional repeat
I loved the first season and wondered how his sarcastic character would return after making amends with the other characters.
Season two just repeated everything you like in the first season. It was nice to se the characters again, but after the death occurs, it feels like your just going to get that each season.
What's next? Season 3, the dog dies. Season 4, the new girlfriend gets sick and almost dies like his wife. Season 5 he gets sick. I'll be there for each, but I just wanted something less predictable.
Joker (2019)
Real World Problems
Wow! The problems of real world and how they darken our souls.
Some of the problems he was dealing with hit very close to home and I can easily understand the rage each of us can feel when confronted with society's hierarchy and how some of us are treated like we're disposable. When that rage is combined with mental illness, it ignites a flame in this movie.
This movie also creates a very believable origin story for the Joker. Very good. Go and see it.
Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019)
Not as good as the first
I really loved the first Godzilla and could not wait until the second. Immediately after the first film all the chatter was complaints that they didn't have other original monsters. Well now there are too many for one film.
This Godzilla had an incredible cast, however it was ruined by the comedy that was injected Into most of the scenes. The first movie was serious and epic.
This movie also, and I can't believe I'm saying this, had too many monsters. I almost feel like there should have been two more films before reaching this quota of monsters.
Spoilers ahead!
I also did not like the bowing that was done at the end by the monsters recognizing Godzilla as the alpha. They should have averted their eyes and kept their distance.
And lastly... do more daytime scenes. I'm not sure why so many giant monster films all take place at night. Are they just covering up CGI mistakes. Give me more daylight rumbles.
Hellboy (2019)
Failed Reboot
If the previous two Hellboy movies would not have existed, I would at least give another star. I was not impressed with the CGI or the camera work during the action scenes. If Hellboy had been on the battlefield destroying the giant creatures at the end of the film, it would have been better.
The Neighborhood (2018)
Laugh Track Begone
Aside from the laugh track I really enjoy the show. The character of Marty is great as he stops by to observe the worst moments of others.
Thor: Ragnarok (2017)
Thor the Comedy
What happened?
The first two movies were serious and epic. Ragnarok was a designed as a comedy with a smattering of story in the vein of the first two. The only thing this movie missed was a laugh track.
Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi (2017)
Go See Solo
The Last Jedi had all the elements to be the best SW film since Empire and redeem themselves from the dreadful Force Awakens.
They missed an opportunity to make Luke a Jedi master and total badass to be carried over into another installment. I could not help but envision Luke taking down the Walkers in the final battle, crippling Kylo's ship and leaving him the wounded in a path closer to Vader.
Snoke! Nothing but missed potential for a great backstory and further involvement in a final story.
Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)
Wow
I am a Star Wars fan from way back having been to ever one of them in their original theatrical release. Solo has been the best Star Wars film since Rogue One. This is what Star Wars movies should be like. The audience I was with all applauded at the end.
