Avengers: Endgame – Part 1

I cried, I laughed, I lived and I died – Perfection

Over 10 years, and it all comes down to this…. I am so nerding out as I am sure every MCU fan is.  But as promised this is a SPOILER FREE POST! #Part1

Don't Spoil The Endgame#Don’tSpoilTheEndgame

That of course is going to make it slightly difficult for me to contain my excitement. I will give some basic facts of the timeline (well some of it) and a couple of predictions.

So, lets get to it!

This is the climax, I mean they literally couldn’t have picked a better name for this film, and with every climax there is a worry. Is it going to work to match the imagination of the fan base? Is it going to answer our questions or is it going to be a let-down?

Never fear Marvel is here! As always, they have kept their crucial team of the Russo Brothers directing, the magic writing team of Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely and of course produced by Kevin Feige. This core team to me is how they have kept the franchaise so perfect. In interviews they have always said they knew where it was going to end, and they have almost worked backwards. They admit they re-watched all the previous films because they wanted to have no cliff-hanger and give the characters and fans a definitive ending.

In an interview with Buzzfeed News they have admitted they are taking a break and closing this chapter on their careers.

“[We’re] taking a break,” Markus said. “[The MCU] is obviously about to have a huge injection of new blood. Launching a lot of new things. So it’s going to get interesting.”“But, you know, it’s the best working experience of our lives,” McFeely added. “So, if they call, we’d answer.” (Vary, 2019)

So into the nitty gritty! The film is set 22 days after the infamous snap, and then takes a time jump 5 years into the future…and that’s all I am going to say about the story! See told you – SPOILER FREE!

What I want to focus on is the imagery which is apparent throughout. At the end of Infinity War, we know that the focus is on getting to Thanos’ gauntlet on his left hand. I noticed on the Infinity War posters, you can see hands of the characters, especially because most of their powers are channelled through them.

Infinity War Individual Poster

Now looking at the posters for Endgame, its all about the faces. No hands. But in the film there is a massive focus on the hands. There are lots of close up shots of hands and a lot of the characters are wearing some form of gloves, as in a nod to the gauntlet that holds the worlds fate in its hand. (Not sorry for the pun.)

EndgameIndividual Poster

Even the difference in the colour pallet can be seen, the light and dark. This follows through the film and even through the entire franchise.

So now I have a theory on what is happening after Endgame.

Guardians of the Galaxy 3 is already in development and I can link it into Endgame. At the end of Guardians of the Galaxy 2 – in the post credit scene we see the Sovereign leader showing off her new creation which she calls Adam. Already I am picking up the rebirth of the Universe vibes. So in Endgame we have Thanos in a place called “The Garden”….Marvel are literally setting up the freaking Garden of Eden! Even in Infinity War Thanos says he wants to create Paradise –  “Going to bed hungry. Scrounging for scraps. Your planet was on the brink of collapse. I was the one who stopped that. You know what’s happened since then? The children born have known nothing but full bellies and clear skies. It’s a paradise.” (Russo, 2018)

Garden of Eden is literal Paradise! This cannot be a coincidence. But I guess we will have to wait till 2022 to find out.

So in closing to the end of this Phase of the MCU, as all the fans out there I want to say Thank you to the cast and crew for giving us the ending that we deserved. The story, character arcs, imagery was all perfect and I can’t wait to discuss it more once the Spoiler ban has passed. In a few weeks I will go into more detail of the story and what it means for the characters but for now #ThanosDemandsYourSilence.

Assassination Nation

A clever feminist take down of society – love, love, love!

This film came out of the blue for me. I hadn’t heard a lot about it until it appeared on the cinema listings. I don’t know why! The premise I love the idea of because in 2018 this is something that could happen. People hacking photos, especially from prominent people, like presidents… oops I meant mayor 😉

The best way I can describe this film is Mean Girls meets the Purge in Salem, Massachusetts during the Witch Hunts.  This is even suggested in the costume.

I love these little Easter eggs and think it is really clever.  Something else I like in this film is the use of the colour red, and the hues. Red is used in some many ways, it is used to show sexiness, empowerment, danger, and hatred. It comes full circle.

Cast

I don’t want to give too much away as I saw this film before it is released on the 23rd November.

This film gets your thinking about your own online footprint and these are so many fantastic quotes.

This may not be a perfect film, but it made me laugh, made me think and says a lot about society.

So, I don’t care it’s a 5/5 from me! I’m off to see it again!

The Meg

A Meg-nificant Movie Mistake

This film plays on one of the most well known fears throughout the world…How do you really know what is lurking beneath you in the ocean?

So far scientists have only explored around 20% of the world’s oceans which means we know so little about the environment, the climates, and the species that dwell below in the deep., and back in 1975 Jaws brought this fear to the forefront of peoples minds and although many years have passed, can you tell me when you go in the water you don’t still hear the chilling theme tune?

Besides have you seen Shark Week?!?! They are discovering the bigger sharks are dwelling at deeper depths and aren’t normally seen at the surface, so what else is hiding down there?

Since Jaws is one of my favourite films and got me looking at films from numerous aesthetic angles I can’t review a shark film without discussing them both!

Just like Jaws, The Meg is based on a book and is based around the deep sea research from an ocean based marine biology centre. Oh wait does this sound familiar?  You bet! From 1975 lets time travel to 1999 and Deep Blue Sea. Marine Biologists are researching on a floating rig in the middle of the Ocean. I’m starting to get a bad feeling about this already aren’t you?

So lets cut to the chase and look at our big bad sharks:

Jaws:

Great White Shark

Carcharodon carcharias

25ft or 7.5ms

Man- eater

Attacks from below

 Jaws.jpg

The Meg:

Megalodon

Carcharocles megalodon

68-88ft or 21-27ms

Top predadtor of the oceans

Extinct 2 million years

Lighting

We have learnt in recent years that giant Great White Sharks called mega-sharks do exist.

I would like to introduce you to Deep Blue, a 20 ft female Great White Shark found in the Guadalupe Islands off of Mexico. She is believed to be one of the biggest White Sharks discovered, but she is still growing. She is believed to be around 50 years old and she is still growing. She is only 5ft off the shark in Jaws, so who else is hiding down there?

Deep Blue

“You’re Gonna Need a Bigger Boat”

But I digress!

The Meg has tried to learn a lot from its predecessor shark films such as:

  • Using music to build tension
  • Not showing the shark straight away and playing on the audiences’ own fears
  • Using Point of View shots from both the characters and the sharks

But it differs on the way it has been filmed.

To get the best shots of the actors in the water they wanted to be able to control the environment so instead of shooting in the ocean they shot in a tan. I can completely understand the reasoning behind it but it is soo obvious! You know it isn’t the ocean, purely because there isn’t anything disturbing the shots and to me it is going to scare me of the ocean because it clearly isn’t the ocean!

In Jaws they filmed in the ocean and tied ropes on to the actors and pulled them around giving the authentic feel, admittedly the shark is nothing by todays standards it gave a focal point for the actors. This is the problem with CGI because the actors are trying to act with a tennis ball on a stick for reference. I don’t care if you were the world’s greatest actor, you are not going to get believable reactions. I really believed that with clever angles and a smaller realistic model this would have been a much better film.

In my opinion, this film is style over substance and is weakened by bad aesthetic choices – CGI can only take you so far.  I know it was never going to be a master piece, but I really had higher expectations, a few funny moments can’t save it.

Solo: A Star Wars Story 3D

 

Better than I imagined. 

I was on tenterhooks when it was announced that they were doing a Solo film as I am a traditionalist and cannot see anyone accept Harrison Ford in the role. Obviously, I know you can’t have a 75-year-old playing someone in their 20s but considering he has been playing the role for the last 40 years, it is hard to imagine anyone else stepping into his shoes. I have to admit I was wrong. Alden Ehrenreich is amazing! Not only do they look similar it is the mannerisms Ehrenreich has nailed!

Solo Comparison

Another character that was nailed was Lando Calrissian. I am in love with Donald Glover, and his many capes.  The cast have clearly studied the previous films and really kept consistent with the mannerisms, making it a really believable.

Lando comparison

The storywriters, Jonathan Kasdan and Lawrence Kasdan, names should sound familiar to Star Wars nerds. Lawrence Kasdan was one of the writers of The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, and Star Wars: The Force Awakens. This time he has teamed up with his son Jonathan to continue the Star Wars story, or rather revisit its past. I love a good continuation of crew as it makes the story flow right from A New Hope up to now.   Even in the story you can see these influences, such as the Sabacc dice.

The story has been set up ready for a sequel and Ehrenreich has been contracted for a further 2 movies, but Ron Howard the director has said nothing has been confirmed.

So watch this space!!

Sci-Fi pun intended 😊

Overall, I loved the film and it was OK in 3D, (still could have been used better in my opinion,) but I loved the story and how it impacts my view of Solo in previous films. Typical Star Wars film, lots of comedy, especially with the Droids, and you can see why characters are the way they are.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom 3D

Jurassic Fans Rejoice! 

I’m a big fan of the Jurassic Park franchise and have been since I was a child. I am that nerd in museums obsessed with dinosaurs. (The Brontosaurs is my favourite, love a gentle giant!) My Grandad Ron used to try and help me understand the size of them and telling me stories about them all the time…but I digress.

Because of this obsession when the Jurassic World trilogy was announced I was super excited. With the first one and the Indominous Rex.

Indominus Rex What a beauty!

But of course, the Velociraptors are the real stars of the show and I was devastated by the lost of Charlie, Delta and Echo. Luckily Blue was left alive and so was our Alpha Owen Grady. (Chris Pratt can be my Alpha any day 😉)

Blue

As much as I love the character of Owen, I can’t say the same for Claire. She annoyed the hell out of me, so she had some ground to cover to catch up. So, I was excited to see the next instalment. The second film of a trilogy is notorious for falling below expectations but not done that bad!

The film itself has a good story and you can see how it has developed over the 3 years since the last film. It is written by Colin Trevorrow, who was also the director of Jurassic World and Derek Connolly. They are well known to have a good working dynamic and Trevorrow is in line to director the next film. Having this continuity is beneficial to the story because it keeps up consistency and you can see the direction they are taking the characters in.

I love how in these films they have throwbacks to previous Jurassic Park films. In this film we see the return of old characters and symbols such as the amber cane.

                       (Hammond in Jurassic Park)      (Lockwood in Jurassic World)

We also see the infamous yellow jacket make a comeback!

It takes a more horror twist than other films due to the Director J A Bayona. When he was bought onto the project Trevorrow had a conversation with Bayona about the direction of the story.

“The first thing that he told me was that he thought about me because of The Orphanage, and I was very surprised about it and I was very intrigued. And then he told me that story, that the second half would play more like a haunted house movie. I fell in love with that idea.” (Edwards, 2018)

Although it may not be the most cinematic film or add anything ground-breaking to film as an art film, this film has got me really excited about the franchise once again. I love the story and the character development and can’t wait for 2021.

TOP TIP:

DO NOT SEE IN 3D!!

THERE IS NO POINT IT WONT ADD ANYTHING TO YOUR EXPERIENCE!!!

Avengers Infinity War 3D

 

 “Marvel-lous Movie Magic”

I have been waiting for 10 years for this film as have all Marvel fans, and it does not disappoint!

This is part one of Infinity War which means lots of cliff-hangers, unknown character fates and so many possibilities in part two. They were filmed back to back for continuity and was wrapped in January 2018.

The last Marvel film was Black Panther from February and the last time the Avengers were together was 2 years ago in Captain America Civil War.

This story has been planned for 10 years and each character has gone through their character development over multiple films. This is why DC failed in their attempt as they ignored the individual characters. Maybe that is just my MCU love coming through!

I have one problem though – WHY IS BLACK WIDOW BLONDE!?!? There is no mention of this change of hair anywhere in the film! For 8 years since she was introduced in Iron Man 2, always been a red head. I want answers!!

OK rant over – So here it is guys:

SPOILER ALERT!

Even our bad guy Thanos’s background is developed which is a fantastic asset and makes him more relatable. He is humanised during his search for the Infinity Stones, especially for the mysterious Soul Stone, as he sacrifices his daughter Gamora.

 Stones

In previous movies we have just accepted that Thanos wants the Infinity Stones in order to rule the world, as most bad guys do. This time Thanos explains that he is trying to save the world. He believes “Life needs correction” and instead of having everyone starve, kill half the population and then everyone lives a better life. He sees it as a necessary evil and that it takes a strong person to make that decision. Really hardcore! In a flashback we see how Thanos believes he is saving Gamora as a child and trying to distract her from the horrible genocide going on around her. I love the depth of Thanos and it really makes you think would you be able to make a decision like that?

We have seen these sort of decisions before, just to name a few:

  • Avengers Assemble – Iron Man flying through the wormhole
  • Civil War – Should Wanda’s powers be allowed?
  • Guardian’s of the Galaxy – They all handle the power stone to save the world, not just Quill.
  • Doctor Strange – Protecting the Time Stone, regardless of anything else.

Another theme I like following through the timeline is the Ironic role of Wanda’s powers. Scarlett Witch was given her powers after undergoing tests using the Mind stone with her brother. (RIP Pietro!)  Her powers have been up for discussion numerous times, especially in Civil War when the Accords are draw up because of her. Ironically now she is the only person who can destroy an Infinity Stone, a decision (See trending theme!) she has to make sacrificing Vision, who possesses the Mind Stone to stop Thanos.

Now it comes down to the main discussion this film has brought about.

Who is Alive?!?!  Who is Dead?!??

Just as in the world when Thanos clicks his fingers and kills off half of the population, we lose half of our Avengers! I expected to see some deaths but this many no way! I may have cried…no judgment! In my defense it is heartbreaking to see your favourite characters disappear into dust, damn you Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely. As the screenwriters for part two as well, they have a lot to answer for!

SURVIVORS

TEAM ALIVE

VICTIMS

TEAM DEAD

It isn’t just the Avengers we lose. In the Post credit scene we see Maria Hill and Nick Fury also succumb to the new world order. Before they do Fury, being Fury, makes one final call for help using an ancient pager displaying a blue and red signia.

CAP MARVEL

This is the symbol of Captain Marvel! Oscar winner, Brie Larson signed up to the role which has its own movie currently being filmed and due for release in March 2019. We already knew that she was going to be featured in Avengers 4 and this is our confirmation! We are going through big changes as we head into Phase 4 and a lot of the current cast have fulfilled their contracts and won’t be coming back to the universe after Avengers 4 – We are going to be introduced to exciting new characters. As much as it is going to hurt to lose our fan favourites, I know as a fandom we are going to embrace the next chapter.

Before I finish as usual Marvel has given us some great one liners and I couldn’t resist sharing some of my favourites.

Favourite Quotes:

“I am Groot.” “I am Steve Rogers.”

“Oh, screw you, you big green asshole! I’ll do it myself!”

“What’s the matter with you, kids? You’ve never seen a spaceship before?”

“Dude, you’re embarrassing me in front of wizards.”

“ Kick names, take ass.”

Groot: [in a mocking tone] I am Groot. Peter Quill: Whoa! Drax: Wow. Peter Quill: You got some acorns on you, kid. Rocket Raccoon: Ever since you got a little sap, you’re a total D-hole. Now, keep it up and I’m gonna smash that thing to pieces!”

Rocket Raccoon: You speak Groot? Thor: They taught it on Asgard. It was an elective.”

Hardcore Henry

 

“Hardcore Henry? More like Hardcore Stuntmen!”

Before I even start this review I want to give you a little bit of background about me. I am a bit of a gamer and that is what really grabbed my attention about this film as it is all shot by Point of View (POV).  It is the first film to be filmed on GoPro cameras fitted to masks for the stuntmen to wear.

HH Shot(Failes, 2016)

The entire concept has never been attempted before in is way. There have been films based on games like “Dead or Alive” (Metacritic, 2007) and “Resident Evil” (Williams, 2002)but none as immersive as Hardcore Henry.

Whenever I play a game I really get drawn into it. I grew up playing games like Resident Evil and Mario Kart and I am one of these people that move with the remote if my character needs to duck, I duck and lean right and left…it can be annoying if I am playing against someone but it works great for me!

The great thing about how this is filmed is that I can still do that, but by watching a film. For instance in one scene a table gets thrown at Henry aka you. I ducked down in my seat and so did the rest of the cinema. I can honestly say it is better than seeing a 3D film and should be done more often.

Lately a lot of films are being filmed in 3D for no reason. As you have already seen in my Batman V Superman blog there was no need to have that film in 3D because it did not add anything to the film at all. The POV shooting is almost like what I imagine Virtual Reality being in the future. I think this film is very aimed at gamers, but I wouldn’t recommend it to people who suffer with motion sickness!

From the very first scene it is very confusing and you are not sure what you are seeing. This is typically used as a starting point of a game, the character not knowing who they are or where they are.  For instance in Half-Life 2, having not played the first Half-Life I didn’t know anything about the character or anything. I was just told my name is Mr Freeman and I was on a train, and this is used in a lot of games. The same as using a silent main character. The interesting thing about Hardcore Henry is that the main character is not played by an actor but instead 10 stuntmen with the cameras on their heads doing these amazing stunts and surprisingly they only had 5 injuries: 5 stitches and 1 chipped tooth. (Puchko, 2016)

As well as being filmed in a great way even the little nuances intensifies the experience. One thing I really took notice of was grenades. I admit I am not great when playing games especially Call of Duty, I am always getting blown up by grenades (bane of my gaming life!). I like when a grenade goes off near you the sound gets muted and muffled giving you the sensation of being deafened. This is something they also do in the film which brings back those memories of my childhood which I loved. Even the vibrations from the machine guns in the film bring the whole experience together.

Another aspect of the film that is used in games is screens. In Half-Life 2 characters are interacting through computer screens giving directions to help move the story along. In the film Estelle keeps reaching out to Henry through films.

The film has some very funny moments which we can all relate to such as untangling wires, but also brutal ones. It is beautifully violent and brings some of your greatest fears to life. One scene that got to me was when Henry is being fixed. It reminded me of stories when people have woken up during an operation and cannot move. It makes your skin crawl!

The best choreography scene in this film is the fight scene choreographed to Queen’s Don’t Stop Me Now. (Mercury, 1978) The upbeat music with the violent fight scene. Fantastic! My favourite fight scene ever!

Speaking of choreography the scene where Henry slides down an escalator and knocks a woman violently to the ground wasn’t planned. An extra missed her mark and was standing in the wrong area, resulting in her being knocked over. After the take she reportedly popped up and asked if they’d gotten the shot. (IMDB) I love stories likes these as it shows that sometimes spontaneous things are the best.

Now is the time for *SPOILER ALERT*

I must admit I love the character of Jimmy, all versions of him (Frank Sinatra, Punk, Camo, and Soldier). The dance routine is amazing and just adds a little bit of fun into such a ferocious film. Even some of his lines such as “stop dicking around you’re almost there mate”, reminded me so much of Call of Duty because I constantly get lost in games and have to be reminded what I am meant to be doing lol.  This is the *SPOILER ALERT* when Jimmy dies because it is so close in proximity because of the way it is shot it is so much more emotional and I may have shed a couple of tears….and I don’t cry in films!

As much as I loved the film there are a couple of things I have issues with in this film, there are a couple of continuity issues. In one scene during a fight there is blood spatter on the camera, which is a good effect but in the next shot it disappears. I am a sucker for continuity errors!

Another thing that I didn’t understand about the film was the character of Akan and his magical telekinetic powers. Where the hell did they come from? During my research I have discovered that there is a prequel comic called Hardcore Akan which is about his backstory, from his birth during the infamous Chernobyl disaster, to the discovery of his superpowers, to his ultimate rise as the head of Russia’s most sinister robotics company.  (Ilya Naishuller, 2009) Apparently some cinemas were handing out the comic at the cinema, unfortunately my cinema was not one of them. It makes it difficult to understand it when these aspects are not included in the film. Even if there was a flashback which gave some indication to his background to explain it would have solved this issue.

Overall I was a big fan of this film, it was violent, it was funny, used interesting new ideas and concept. Considering this was the directors first film, I can’t wait to see what else he has to offer.

4 stars!
