DC Week: Man Of Steel(Non-Spoiler)





As we got the final release date for Zack Snyder's Justice League (20 March 2021) I thought it would be fun to revisit this polarizing universe of DC(Also called "Worlds Of DC / DCEU") once again and share my views with you. 

 Man Of Steel is still one of the better film to come out of DCEU. So let's talk about it

1...Story: It's pretty great, it brilliantly transports 80 year old Superman to the 21st century. I personally feel like this is one of the most real take on a superhero based on 21st century. I also applaud Zack for not taking out Clark's back-story and give it ample amount of time. I still don't like the decision to not show Lois' journalistic skills but I can easily leave that out. Overall a nicely written script, but let's talk about it's execution

2...Direction: Again, it's good but not perfect. You do get those signature Zack style with that hand-held cam feel with snap-zoom used a ton of times during the final battle which I absolutely disgust(though this is my personal preference and you might feel differently, comment down below your experience). Though I love the final battle as that's how it should be when 2 titans face off each other, you cannot expect a small fight when 2 gods fight each other(even though some critics do think that way). Overall a pretty decent start to the vision of Zack since it has some beautiful shots but I would give that credit to VFX supervisor and cinematographer Amir Mokri.

3...Acting: It's great, each character plays their counter-parts quite nicely

4...Music: It's Hans Zimmer, can you expect anything less than great(You can't). It truly has some great sound-track which I absolutely adore.

If you want a decent superhero film with great acting, action, music and some deep and great underlying themes then this movie should be on your watch.

INDIVIDUAL SCORES:
Story: 8/10
Direction: 6/10
Acting: 8/10
Music: 9/10

OVERALL SCORE:
8/10

Ranking every Mission Impossible film

  Mission Impossible is the rare case of a franchise which has no bad film over the course of six films, the franchise has been running for over 25 years and doesn't seem to be stopping any time soon and all of this is possible due to brilliant team behind the scenes and the dedication of Tom Cruise that no one in the industry possesses. That is why I'll ranking every Mission Impossible film to this date. 5. Mission Impossible II I mean, we all see it coming. Mission Impossible II is mostly considered to be the worst in the franchise, but does that mean it's a bad film...NO. Mission Impossible franchise has set such high standards for film-making that even their worst film is quite watchable, Mission Impossible II can be considered a pretty average movie with decent plot and some great Hong-Kong'ey' action due to the film being directed by John-Woo. You can easily watch this film one-time and be content with what you were shown since this film contains some beautifu...

Ranking Every Harry Potter Movie: Non-Spoiler

Today I'll be ranking down every Harry Potter movie that was released excluding the "Fantastic Beasts" franchise(I'll make a separate blog once it's planned 5 movies are released or I'll update this blog). Let's jump into it. I'll be ranking these movies on it's face value and try not compare it with the books since in my opinion you cannot imitate a book on it's entirety as you need to sacrifice/change some content so as to balance the run-time but I will compare the films with the books with the movies when deemed necessary. This is simply my list and you may write down your list in the comment section. I'll be giving 2 scores for every movie, one when compared to book and other score as simply a movie in a franchise 8. Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince This is the worst movie in the franchise because it is so not faithful to the books and I can ignore some of the liberties in screenplay writing when it doesn't affect the broader...
