My Thoughts
I have loved the John wick films and I was eaglery looking forward to this fan. After viewing this film I can say to anyone who is a fan of the previous John wick films will enjoy this film. This review will be short, if you have seen a john wick film you know what to expect. it picks up after the the second film with John on the run and we follow him through a Bloody path that is an exciting ride the entire time for the most part. The fight scenes are amazing and well done and the choreographer was a thing of beauty, it wa visceral and sorry and i enjoyed it all. The acting was solid (Keanu Reeves was born for this role and he did an amazing job as expected) the rest of the cast was solid and I have to say Halle Berry's time in the film i actually enjoyed and her character was pretty awesome to see in action (her dogs as well). The plot was kind of weak overall but I don't watch these films for the plot, I watch them to be entertained and that was the case. The only thing I didn't like about this film was the length of it. it was over 2 hours long and it slowed down at some parts and a few scenes felt like filler ,but otherwise the film was good. Rotten Tomatoes gave this film a 88% saying "John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum reloads for another hard-hitting round of the brilliantly choreographed, over-the-top action that fans of the franchise demand". and I agree it hit on everything I expect in a john wick film and I highly recommend it for fans of the series or fans of Keanu Reeves.

Exactly what I expected overall and I enjoyed it 8.2/10!!

My Thoughts
I am going to keep this review short, the film rereeld me in with the tagline what if superman were evil. I was very interested to see how this plays out. the plot was very weak for me, it didn't give the audience nothing to go on other than the kid fell from the sky. the Acting was solid and Elizabeth banks lead the way for me, she played the another to this alien boy very well, she showed a lot of emotion and stole the show for me. The CG in this film was used mosrly at night which helped hide any imperfections. with the film being rated R i expected some good gore and this film did not disappoint and i was really impressed with some of the gore we saw. The ending for me was shaping up to be predictable and i thought I saw it coming, but there was a surprise there which i really enjoyed, with ending i can usually see them coming but that was not the case here and i liked the switch up. Rotten Tomatoes gave the film a 57% saying " Although Brightburn doesn't fully deliver on the pitch-black promise of its setup, it's still enough to offer a diverting subversion of the superhero genre". I agree that the thin plot failed this film, but it was overall enjoyable and worth viewing for anyone who is fan of gore or of James Gunn's work.
Rating
Enjoyable but a weak plot lets it down 6.7/10!!

My Thoughts
I enjoyed the Godzilla Film and was looking forward to the sequel I knew was coming. This review will be short and sweet, was the film entertaining? Yes it was, was the plot flimsy at best? yes it was. a film like this is not watched for great acting or a stellar story. Going in I wanted this film to be visually beautiful and entertaining, did it accomplish this? for the most part yes. My only huge issue with this film is that it was a bit too long, the film could have been 15-20 minutes shorter and the same effect of the film would have been reached in my opinion. If you want to see giant monsters cause mass destruction fighting each other I recommend this film. Rotten Tomatoes gave this film a 40% saying "odzilla: King of the Monsters delivers spectacular kaiju action -- and reaffirms that cutting-edge effects are still no substitute for a good story". overall like I said the film checked the main boxes I wanted for this, the 2014 Godzilla was a better overall film with a better story but again I don't see this movies to be blown away by acting ability.
Rating
Entertaining and Visually beautiful, with a flimsy plot. 7.0/10!!
