Review- Justice League (2017)

Image via imdb.com
    Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) enlists the help of Diana Prince (Gal Gadot) to face an oncoming invasion. Together, they recruit Aquaman (Jason Momoa), Cyborg (Ray Fisher) and The Flash (Ezra Miller) to help take down Steppenwolf and stop him from destroying the earth. So, I was really looking forward to seeing Justice League and hoping it wasn't going to be as terrible as Batman Vs. Superman. To be honest, I didn't really like Wonder Woman so I wasn't expecting too much from this film. The acting was really good and the chemistry between the cast was superb. I was mostly into Jason Momoa as Aquaman and I can't wait for his solo film. There was nothing remarkable about the action scenes but they were  entertaining and fun to watch. I loved every scene with Superman (Henry Cavill) although, it was obvious that his mustache was digitally erased.

   Ezra Miller as The Flash was alright, but I found most of his jokes flat and just silly. At some point, it felt like he was doing too much. Gal Gadot is flawless as Wonder Woman and Ray Fisher does a good job as Cyborg. I'm not the biggest fan of Ben Affleck because he usually seems so stiff and uninterested in the movies and characters he plays. It was no different here. No movie is perfect and Justice League had its flaws. The plot was a bit weak and very predictable. How awful was the villain? I can't be the only one who feels that way about Steppenwolf, there was nothing scary or exciting about him. Justice League was a CGI fest with some action scenes looking like a weird video game. I guess they listened to the critics because the cinematography wasn't as dark as Dawn of Justice and I was happy with it. Some of the dialogue was terrible and we know how cliché superhero movies can be but the dialogue could have been better. The final battle isn't the type that would bring you to the edge of your seat or have you heart racing and I was underwhelmed by the score. Even with the flaws, Justice League was an entertaining film and it might just save the DC Universe. There were two post credits scenes which I absolutely loved so don't be in a hurry to leave the theater. I'm actually looking forward to the sequel which may premiere in 2019. Well done DC!

Goodbye Mike & Rachel- Suits' Seventh Season Finale Review

  Suits is one of my favorite Legal Drama's and for some reason, I'm still very invested in the show after 7 seasons. I don't think they've had any bad season and they've done such a great job with the growth and development of the major characters but the time to say goodbye to Mike and Rachel was finally here. Due to the fact that Meghan Markle would be getting married to Prince Harry, I guess it was a good time to wrap up her love story with Mike and they do this with the fairy tale wedding we've all been waiting for. Mike and Rachel have been an item since the first season and have been engaged since the fifth. They would have been married a season ago but were not able to because of Mike's time in prison. I always loved their chemistry and I was so sad to see them say goodbye and more than anything, I loved Mike and Harvey's relationship. It was so genuine and pure. The two final episodes of the final season of Suits aired back to back and...

"Don't Tell Mama"- The Shocking Sharp Objects Season Finale

   Sharp Objects easily tops the list of my all time favorite TV Series. The HBO Limited Series aired it eight and final episode last night and it's something I'll probably never forget. I'm trying so hard to find the right words to describe this amazing show and the phenomenal acting from Amy Adams, Patricia Clarkson and Eliza Scanlen. They were just too perfect. Throughout the season, we've all been trying to figure out who the killer was in this whodunnit and I had so many theories. I never believed it was John Keene because most times, it's always the person you least expect that'll end up being the perpetrator. My first suspect was Alan (Henry Czerny), Adora's husband and Amma's father. I thought the only reason he would venture out to killing teenage girls was due to the fact that he was no longer as had a bond with his daughter and his loveless marriage but I was so wrong. Then I thought it was the Police Chief, Bill who was in cahoots with Ado...

Chicago Justice: Series Premiere/Crossover Episode-"Fake"

Image via imdb.com I looked forward to seeing Chicago Justice after it was announced because I love the One Chicago universe even though I'm yet to see the other shows, i'm very familiar with their stories and characters. I'm a crazy fan of Chicago PD so I'm going to binge watch all the episodes of Chicago Fire, but I don't think I'll be able to see Chicago Med. Medical shows are too emotional for me. With Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, I don't know where to start from, but I'll binge watch from season one to eighteen whenever I can for sure.  The four part crossover started with an episode on Chicago Fire and concluded in the season premiere of Chicago Justice. There is a fire at a warehouse and the Chicago Fire crew think it's an accident but Severide (Taylor Kinney) finds metal wedges shoved under the door which means whoever started the fire wanted everyone trapped inside, so its arson. Image via nbc.com The warehouse was a spot...
