There were a lot of movies based on comic book adaptations in 2017 that the year should be dubbed the comic book hero no is of the year. A lot of people criticised Hollywood for giving so much credence to the genre and making fewer "movies with substance". Critics complained about the lack or originality and some felt that there was too many comic book movies. The thing with comic book superheros is that they defy convention and provide the kind of escapism that people need to get through living in tough times under governments and regimes that are oppressive and self-serving. A lot of them were epic in scale but only a few hit the right nerve. Here is a list of some of the really good comic book movies made in 2017: #8. JUSTICE LEAGUE …show more content…
Someone actually tried to make a movie based on Ash Ketchum and his starter pokemon, Pikachu however, that endeavor was not as phenomenal as it should have been. Pikachu actually speaks in this movie and the creators tried to interject new ideas into the world of Ash and Pokemon. In this movie, Misty and Brock, the inept baddies who provide some humor in the comic were not included in the movie. Was this movie a great adaptation? Not really! The greatest flaw with this movie lies in the creators not being clear on who the main character his, Ash or Pikachu. All in all, it is watchable. #6. ATOMIC BLONDE Charlize Theron acts in this brilliant take on what a female version of James Bond would do if she was caught up in the 80's east/ west Germany divide. It is explosive, cool, stylish and well shot. Theron strides through, wreaking havoc and beating up the bad guys whilst looking super hot and sexy as a spy. The writers and director of this film tried hard to stick to a plot but the movie is full of so much intrigue it collapses under its own weight. If you are looking for a great spy thriller with a lady calling the shots, you are better off watching Angelina Jolie's Salt. Atomic Blonde tries a little too hard. #5. KINGSMAN: THE GOLDEN
The film received mostly positive reviews. Roger Ebert praised the film as "one of those stories with the quality of a nightmare, in which foolish young men try to out-macho one another until they get trapped in a violent situation which will forever alter their lives.”
We are currently living in the Golden Age of Superheroes. They dominate our cultural life, and have become seemingly permanent fixtures in modern media. Since X-Men burst onto the screen fifteen years ago, we have witnessed the release of over forty superhero movies. By 2020 we will have seen the release of more than twenty-five more. Today, the much anticipated film Superman vs. Batman has come to theaters. Though a plethora of superhero movies have been released, it is to the dissatisfaction of many, having long been exhausted by the stories of the Hulk, Batman, and Spider-man. Although I must agree that it is quite easy to get bored with the constant action, and flashing colors of these films, if one looks deep enough into the story they will discover universal themes and metaphors. Though they may be fighting off alien invasions, these heroes are also battling with their personal challenges, challenges which we can
The rest of the cast is impeccable (extra points to Luca Calvani, who is delicious and Hugh Grant, always a pleasure to watch). And as I have already said it is, literally, one of the most visually impressive, elegant and stunning films ever made - it is like watching a work of lovingly-crafted 1960's period
There have been major changes to the superhero archetype in comics in these recent years as compared to the past. Along with that arises controversy on the subjects like the new female Thor or a black kid as Spiderman. Many are zealously against such changes for reasons like sexism or racism. While many others are fervently behind such changes because they use it to empower their own political views on today’s topics. These topics are important to today’s society however they should not be so important in comic books because comic books should be value-neutral and gender, ethnicity, sexuality and things of this nature should not matter.
Overall, this movie Cat O’ Nine Tails was not a very entertaining movie. The story was an interesting one to follow but the props and directing were subpar. The acting, however, was excellent and was the saving grace of this movie. I would not recommend this movie to anyone who is a regular moviegoer or who is a fan of Dario Argento because his directing is so bad. As a horror fan, this movie was an OK one.
I like the artistic picture in the film and I think that the true story conforms enough. In my opinion, this film does not reach the top mark, mostly because of the perceived missing sequences. I would give the film the mark 4 out of 5.
Marvel has been releasing blockbuster after blockbuster for over the last decade. Marvel movies have action, a great story line, and even some comedy. Some of my favorite movies that Marvel has released are: the Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, and the Amazing Spiderman. DC movies, on the other hand, are awful and boring. Most of them don’t have a story line, they’re slow in telling the superheros story, and they aren’t based off the comics. Some disappointing DC movies that I thought would be great but weren’t: Green Lantern, Man of Steel, and the Dark Knight Rises. While the future of Marvel movies are looking bright (Dr. Strange, Captain America 3), the DC movies will probably crash and burn (Batman vs Superman, Suicide
Kantmiss is tracking wildlife and sees a chicken on a tree branch. She pulls back and as she is about to release the arrow a friend of hers jumps up and surprises her, the arrow goes way off its mark, towards a man in a balloon gondola, hits him in the chest and he falls dead to the ground. Maiara Walsh is Kantmiss Evershot which I could accept as a clever character name. Maira Walsh also has nice comic timing of her own. In addition, another lead caught my attention, Diedrich Bader, plays an amusing President Snowball (Hunger Games' President Snow). Some other good points about the movie are as follows: flow from scene to scene is good, use of an actual forest, the announcers, the blue guys and the pink lady. One setback for the movie would be the scene wherein the two main parody characters having sex behind a picture of the president's face (only to have Gandalf and Hagrid from Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter show up like perverts), people getting kicked in the crotch and a girl hallucinating about being a character from Avatar (another popular movie) and having sex. In addition, a majority of the movie was spent with scenes such as cheerleaders dancing around wearing plastic funnels in their shirts. This parody might not make you laugh, but it will make you (at least)
...r, this movie is lack of depth of storyline. The audiences can even predict what will happen in the next scenes. Moreover, the ending of this movie is too cheesy and irrational according to me. If only they change the ending to become more interesting and rational, I will give a four or five stars out of five. In spite of a lame twist ending, this movie is a perfect example to show that managers should be able to motivate and challenge their employee. It is important to remember that a happy employee means a productive employee.
I have to disagree with both of these reviews. I believe that the story was brilliantly written and the cinematography was beautiful. This movie touched me and had me in tears, which believe me is hard to do. I do agree with the New York Times and New Yorker that it was a little dragged out and that Kiera Knightly's acting was over rated. Other than that, I would defiantly recommend this movie.
Every child in the United States has heard or read the Marvel and DC comics books. If you have not then you have probably have heard of their characters like the famous star spangled hero, Captain America, or the Dark Knight himself, Batman. Both Marvel and DC has influenced the children and adults of American in its darkest times. The great wars affected many by its poisonous grasps, and its victims sought comfort with the antidote provided by the marvelous illustrators and writers of comic books. Now their cinematic counterparts are here to inspire the 21st century. The Marvel and DC cinematic universes have similar content, they both have unique characteristics that set them apart.
The Wachowski brother’s do a great job in combining many genres into one film without making it seem like there is too much going on. It is an overall well-balanced film with just the right amount of violence, corny humor, sexual kicks, and well-composed twists. Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon are phenomenal in this film, they play their roles so well that some may even believe that they are true lovers off screen. The fact the two have such great chemistry truly adds to the overall experience and make of the movie. Frankly, if Corky’s character would have been played by a man than this film would have not raised anyone’s eyebrows nor would it have been as thrilling.
Of course this movie is one of the best from Pixar Animation Studios, whose animation is outstanding. Rating: Monsters Inc. gets five stars from the incredible settings, the actually intriguing conflict, arresting climax, and joyful dénouement. Wonderfully the thought and imagination shine throughout the whole movie manifesting itself by the details put in, from the scratches on a building in the Monstropolis suburbs to the flowing, individual hairs on Sulley’s monster body. The movie is superb. It is inevitable for families to grab some chairs, and watch this great movie with Mike, Sulley, Randall, and Boo, because it’s that awesome. This movie is family and monster friendly alike.
Among the highest-grossing movies of all time are numerous landmark films, such as Titanic, Avatar, and Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Taking their place alongside these cultural touchstones are mammoth blockbusters of a new breed: action-packed superhero epics. Each year, the number of superhero movies due for release seems to grow exponentially. One glance at a list of upcoming movies for this year reveals that the box office is absolutely saturated with superhero films. Some highly-anticipated installments feature heroes already well-acquainted with the big screen, such as Captain America and the X-Men, while others are introducing relatively unfamiliar characters to contemporary movie-going audiences, as in the cases of Doctor Strange and
I view this as one of the few truly great movies of all time. I say this because it carries all of the basic cinematic elements that compose a great film. These elements begin with the characters. You can hardly expect to enjoy a movie if the characters are not believable. In this particular movie the characters were not only believable but you could identify yourself a little in one or all of the characters. One thing that can have an unfortunate detraction from even a good movie is anachronisms. The only one I found was a halogen bulb in a light fixture. However, I doubt anyone would notice were they not looking for one. This movie can be enjoyed by even the most mentally devoid of audiences. The reason for this is that most people do not like being bossed around or forced to do anything. It did make me think about how little freedom we actually have in life and how we all need to live just a little bit more.
