Atomic Boredom

Atomic Blonde stars Charlize Theron and is a movie directed by David Leich. This man helped to bring John Wick to the big screen. I went into the movie expecting Atomic Blonde to be the female version of John Wick. That was not the case.

Atomic blonde is boring the story is messy and the direction is poor. The time hops between the present and the past is not at all smooth. The story begins with Charlize Theron in a debriefing room telling us the story of the snoozefest that is Atomic blonde!

The movie is boring to the extent that I had paused and stopped watching the movie around the hour mark. In an hour all we see is Charlize enter east Berlin to retrieve the list. Here she meets a shady character called Percival and gets into bed with Delphine portrayed by Sophia Boutella. Believe me, that is all that happens in one hour of this movie!

I got my self to finish the movie later and the pace does pick up at the end, but it is not enough! Actors like Charlize Theron, James McAvoy and Sofia Boutella is wasted in this movie!

The movie could have been better if they had only focused on the base of the story! Charlize kicking ass while in pursuit of the list. Dead simple and interesting!

To wrap up Atomic Blonde is just not worth a watch anywhere!

Spiderman: Homerun

The third reboot of the Spiderman franchise is old news. So is the fact that it was a huge success, but I only got to watch it tonight, Now that I am done watching it, I am going to talk about it. Spiderman homecoming is a good movie. It has a simple story, stellar cast and a director who knows what he is doing. At its core, Spiderman homecoming is a simple coming of age teen flick. And that is what makes Homecoming so good! The movie has very little faults, so let’s get them out of the way first. It lacked action and the soundtrack was average. Done these are my gripes with the movie. Now let’s talk about the good stuff. The movie really fleshes out the characters . Supporting characters like Ned get a lot more screen time then they did on Spiderman’s last outing. Tom Holland is perfectly cast as the web-slinger and for me, he rivals Toby for the best Actor to portray Spidey! For the first time, Spiderman is an actual teen! He has school to deal with and his aunt is not hi...

Birds of Prey: Feminism done right

While the world is at a standstill due to the Novel CoronaVirus, I finally got time to return to watching movies and series. The first movie I saw? Birds of Prey and how I regret missing out on this in the cinemas. The movie is great! It is a self-aware, fourth-wall-breaking joy ride. It paints a new picture of Gotham city from the perspective of Harley Quinn and I love this vibrant new Gotham! The movie kicks off with our protagonist Harley, who has recently broken up with the Joker. She is trying to get by all alone and prove herself to the world. The plot of the movie revolves around Bertinelli's fortune, the key to which is in a diamond. Roman Stonis aka The Black Mask is behind the killing of the Bertinelli's’ and now wants their fortune. He hires Harley to recover the diamond and viola! We have ourselves a popcorn crunching, the edge of your seat, jaw-dropping female-led action movie! All the characters were spot on, be it Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn or my second fa...
