Shazam! is exactly what I expected the movie to be. Just based on the trailer I knew it was going to be a lot lighter in tone than the rest of the DCU films and that is a good thing. The movie isn't bad, but it isn't great either. You can do "lighter" and not delve into complete parody, which Shazam! does do. It's as if they are actually making fun of the very genre they are trying to lift up. I think because this movie and the rest of the DCU are so far apart in tone, that actually putting them in the same universe just doesn't mesh like they want it to . Like I said, it's not a bad flick and I thought Zachary Levi was a good choice in the lead role. Can't really see anyone else that could pull it off. You should definitely check out the movie, but look at it more like Big Meets Greatest American Hero instead of any of the recent Comic Book flicks that have come out. You'll be better off for it.

Avengers: Endgame was THE movie I have been waiting to see for however long it's been since the conclusion of Infinity War. The amount of hype and expectations was at an all time high. I try to keep everything even keel because if I don't, I'm setting myself for a huge disappointment (*see Game of Thrones Series Finale*) for the most recent letdown. I was legit concerned going into Endgame that there could be a few missteps along the way. I'm happy to say that Endgame delivered in more ways an one.

Before I go any further, I do have to say that Endgame more or less 'Jumped the Shark' with the crutch of Time Travel. But this wasn't all that surprising. I saw it come. We all saw it coming at the conclusion of Infinity War. It's the only way to bring everyone back. Well, most everyone. Okay. Moving on. With Time Travel the big plot point for the movie, it offers a wealth of comedic scenes to play out. First off, all the Time Travel references here were fantastic with Terminator, Hot Tub Time Machine and of course Back to the Future getting shout-outs (along with a host of other films in the genre). But the biggest twist on this was being able to go back in time to specific dates (that line up with Marvels biggest MCU movies) and filming additional scenes that we NEVER got to see in the original films. These were fantastic and more than that, insanely funny. Seeing Banner/Hulk watching himself in the first Avengers movie was f*cking hilarious. Especially feigning boredom of having to act like "Hulk" and wreck things so as to blend in.

Speaking of Hulk. We've come all the way from 'Hulk Smash' to basically talking as Banner throughout the entire flick as Hulk. I was just amazed at how good the CGI was in blending both Mark Ruffalo and Hulk as one. So with the gang hopping around in time, trying to retrieve the Infinity Stones, which in itself were like mini Heist Flicks, it all leads to the inevitable showdown between the Original Avengers and Thanos. The ensuing fight move than delivered here as well. When Captain America wields Thor's Hammer, it was literally the best, most thrilling thing in a sea of thrilling moments.

When those that perished in Infinity War return to stand alongside of the Avengers, you are clearly witnessing a monumental moment in Cinema. The best of course was seeing Spider-Man/Peter Parker return and to see the look on Tony's face, the guilt that has consumed him for 5 years just drift away in a matter of seconds as they embrace. Speaking of Tony, when Tony Stark, with Infinity Gauntlet in in hand, snaps and does away with all things Thanos, it was electric. But it comes at a price as his body can't handle that kind of power and he pays the ultimate price. There are many movies that can make me tear up. This one did.

I'm still processing the movie as I watched it late last night. Some things are still fresh in my mind, while other's not so much as I'm trying to place all the puzzle pieces from all the MCU movies. Loved the End Credits which was a 'Call to Action' send off of the majority of Big and Small characters in practically all the MCU flicks. It was perfect. Loved Stan Lee's cameo as well. All in all, Endgame delivers and is one of the greatest Super Hero movies of all time. I gave both this one and Infinity War 10 Stars, but I will say that Infinity War is slightly "better" for different reasons. This is definitely worth a Buy.

The Meg is a check-your-brain-at-the-door flick. It's not meant to be taken seriously and this one definitely shouldn't be. I have issues with it for sure, but overall, it's a fun flick to zone out to if this is something your looking to do. If you've seen one Shark Movie, you've seen them all. Going into The Meg, I was of the mindset that this was going to be some stupid "Godzilla from the deep that attacks beaches" plot and in a way it is....but not in the way I envisioned it. I think the writer was smart enough to actually make this story somewhat plausible in a movie-kinda-way. By that I mean, the writer at least gives us a "logical" way in explaining how a Megalodon could exist in this day and age by having it explained that the Mariana Trench has been housing Megs all this time and that the only thing keeping them at bay is by having it concealed by a thermocline of hydrogen sulfide. Estentially a "Temperature Force field" if you will. Like I said, mindless fun. You know what you're getting, so don't expect much from this. Worth a Rent. Bonus points for how they actually kill the Meg. Very satisfying....and ironic.

I really didn't know what to expect from Aquaman given the sh*tty track record from the DCU (Man of Steel, BvS, Justice League and Suicide Squad) with the lone winner being Wonder Woman. Aquaman has never been a character I cared for. For me it's a huge step down from the likes of Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman. Although I did like the take on the character in Justice League, in spite of a POS film. But can the character carry a 2 hour flick? Yes and no. Now I don't have anything against Jason Momoa at all. He's the only person on screen that matters and actually delivers. My peeve (minor) is the amount of Special FX. Yes, I know, you can't really make an Aquaman flick without it. But it's sensory overload and after awhile, my brain just couldn't take any more of it. It's a mash up of Avatar underwater with a pinch of The Abyss. And then it turns into this sort of Indiana Jones crusade for the King's Trident, which I kinda liked because it was above water. And the ending, sh*t man, they TOTALLY swiped the scene from The Karate Kid Part II. I was totally prepared for Arthur to "honk" Orm's nose. No lie! The movie is fun for the most part if you can get past the mind-numbing amount of CGI. It's certainly better than most of the other DCU flicks....except Wonder Woman which sits on top. But yeah, Aquaman is worth a Rent.

I went into Star Wars Resistance the same way I went into Star Wars Rebels. Skeptical. Like Rebels, I went in think it's going to be nothing but a "Kids Show", dumbed down for the masses to sell toys to kids, etc... So, as much as I wanted to believe that Resistance would follow in the same path that Rebels took, I still had it in my head that it was going to be nothing more than a 'Saturday Morning Cartoon'. Boy, was I ever wrong. The animation is damn good. Really good. But not only that, we get a bunch of fun and interesting characters to get us to through Season 1. Hey, there is something to be said for the fact that Anthony Daniels, Oscar Isaac, Gwendoline Christie, Liam McIntyre and Elijah Wood lend their voices, which was really cool.

The story itself was pretty good as well, taking place just before the events of The Force Awakens, which of course explains why we see the likes of Poe Dameron, Gwendoline Christie and BB-8, which is always cool to get. Fan Service does have it's place. With that said, there are new characters that I really like, the best being Neeku Vozo who is funny as f*ck. Seriously, he made me bust out laughing plenty of times throughout Season 1. Can't forget CB-23 who takes over for BB-8 when he leaves for his Force Awakens adventure. Overall, fantastic series and I can't wait for Season 2. One thing I gotta point out, there were a bunch of scenes, scenarios, character reactions that made me think of Space Ace (Cartoon arcade game). Definitely check it out. Kind weird that my binge watching for this series culminates on today of all days with Disneyland's Galaxy Edge opening today.
