"Superman" (2025) Review

 




Final Score: 9.0/10

First let me start off by saying that prior to seeing this film, I was getting a little sick of IMAX. I mean, for the past decade or so, I have been seeing nearly superhero film as well as other films in IMAX (or Dolby Cinema). So I was thinking, I will take a pass on that and just see this in regular 3-D. 

The 3-D was good and definitely made the experience better, BUT I definitely REGRET NOT seeing it in IMAX. I feel as if this film could've definitely been better in IMAX and I am going to hate myself for a while for passing on that this time. 

But enough of that; this film was enjoyable and I had a really great time. The action, story, visuals and comic relief were all very appealing and made for a great experience. I am really dumbfounded as to how certain film critics that I respect did not like it (here and here), but there were lots of other critics who did actually enjoy it, so there is that. 

The best actor in this film was easily Rachel Brosnahan. Every time she was on screen, I was thoroughly entertained. She added so much depth and layer in Lois Lane and I loved the romantic element in this film; Nicholas Hoult did a really good job as well. 

As for down sides, I thought the Superman fanboyism amongst the populace was kind of cheesy and there were some plot conveniences. 

But hey, I loved Krypto and whole bunch of the side characters and yea, this was a very enjoyable film - 9.0/10.

"F1" (2025) Film Review

Image
  Final Score: 8.8/10 This film has extraordinary reviews on Rotten Tomatoes , my favorite film critic on YouTube, Jeremy Jahns gave it an "AWESOMETACULAR" and it has other praises from various film critic channels.  I am not particularly a big sports (if you consider racecar driving to be a sport) fan; I definitely do NOT watch or keep up with it on TV or anything. So I was wondering if I was going to enjoy this based on those predicaments.   As a film critic, I would say this film was entertaining, but it did not fully live up to the hype/expectations I had for it (in that I thought I was going to give a ~9.5/10).  One big strength was the cinematography. There was one rainy scene in which I thought it was done beautifully. As well as other shots.  And I would say this film's biggest strength was the music. Hans Zimmer, in my opinion, is the best film composer working today. And he continues his amazing streak even with this film. I am definitely plannin...

"Sinners" (2025) Film Review

.  Final Score: 9.8/10 This film was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING . With an original and incredibly brilliant screenplay/story, I was thoroughly entertained all throughout the film.  The biggest strengths of this film are the story and the music. In that the story is unique and well thought out and not based on any other medium.  The MUSIC was so phenomenal that after it watching for the SECOND time, I came home and spent a good deal of minutes going through each song on YouTube Music so I can add it to my library. I could go on for quite some time as to how the music (songs and score) were so well tied in with the story and were a key integral part of it.  The acting was good and the characters were also a big strength of this film. They were fun and entertaining and kept me very much engaged.  Like I said, I saw this film TWICE and I kind of want to watch it for a THIRD time in a few weeks if it is still in theaters. Any flaws? Well nothing in the plot that you won't fi...

"The Fantastic Four: First Steps" (2025) Review

Image
  Final Score: 9.3/10 First, let me give a run down of how I have felt towards the MCU for the past decade. From  Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) to  Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019), Marvel produced amazing, high-quality films that soared my imagination and thoroughly entertained me as well as numerous other superhero film fans.  2021, you could argue was when the quality started to concave down. Black Widow (2021) I thought was ok, I loved  Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021); I liked Eternals (2021) despite the bad reviews.  Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022) and Thor: Love and Thunder (2022) were bitter disappointments as well as the Phase 4 Disney Plus MCU shows (with What If...? (2021), Moon Knight  (2022) and Ms. Marvel (2022) being the exceptions).  Because of the bad reviews, I did not even watch  Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023), The Marvels (2023) and  Captain America: Brave New World (2025)...
