My review of Batman Forever

Alright here’s my review of Batman Forever. So this movie was such an improvement over Batman Returns. I liked the villains a lot. Two Face’s seriousness and The Riddler’s goofiness worked with each other really well. I also really liked Dick Grayson in this movie too.

His character arc of wanting to kill Two Face for murdering his parents but then learned not to was a really good character arc for him. Him also learning to become Robin was really fun to see too.

Batman’s love story with Dr Chase was fine. Not horrible but I didn’t really care about it. The action scenes in this movie were really good too. A big step up from the first two movies. Overall I would give Batman Forever an 8/10. I really enjoyed it.

My review of Batman 1987

Okay so I just finished Batman 1989. I thought it was pretty good. This version of Batman was pretty good. Nothing amazing but a solid version. The Joker in this movie was really good. I don’t like the fact that he was the one who killed Bruce’s parents.

The whole point of Bruce’s family’s murder is to show how crime ridden Gotham is. Them being killed by an actual supervillain takes away from that. But other than that I thought this version of the Joker was really good.

Giving him a backstory when he’s not really supposed to have one is an interesting choice but for making a movie it makes sense. Since they want to make a compelling story for the villain. I also feel like this version of The Joker was the perfect mix of goofy and serious.

It works really well for this movie. The action in this movie was pretty good as well. All of the characters were pretty well written too. Gotham also felt alive in this movie too. Which I appreciate. Overall I really enjoyed Batman 1989. I’d give it an 8/10.

Edit I made a typo in the title and meant to type Batman 1989. Not Batman 1987.

My review of The Punisher Dirty Laundry

Okay so I just finished The Punisher Dirty Laundry. Not much to say since it’s only 10 minutes. But I thought it was really good. Frank killing some criminals to save a kid was pretty in character and the fights were pretty good too. 8/10.

My review of The Punisher One Last Kill

This special was so great. I know it was gonna be good but I didn’t know it was gonna be this good. This is genuinely one of the best things Marvel has ever made.

Okay so I really liked Frank having to deal with his PTSD from his family’s murder and from his Marine days. Frank visiting his family’s grave to pay his respects to them was also really sad and nice to see.

Him almost killing himself but not going through with it because it’s not what his family would’ve wanted is powerful. A women sending a bunch of people to kill Frank because he murdered her family because they were criminals was also a really good plot point and it makes sense.

The action in this special was so good too. Oh my god. Frank using knifes and guns and constantly switching and getting new weapons like it’s a Call of Duty match was so cool to see. This special was also a lot bloodier and gorier then I thought it would be. I really liked it.

It was really well handled. Frank killing people while metal music played was really cool. I really enjoyed that as someone who is really into metal music myself.

The special ending with Frank deciding to keep living was really powerful and it makes sense after he had to fight like 100 people to survive. Overall I would give The Punisher One Last Kill a 10/10. I really really enjoyed it. I hope we see more of The Punisher soon.

My review of Ghost Rider Spirit of Vengeance

Okay so I just finished Ghost Rider Spirit of Vengeance. Honestly this movie was super boring to me. I did not care about the plot of Johnny having to protect a boy from being used in a demonic ritual at all. None of the new characters were interesting either.

This movie had some cool action scenes and that’s it. 2/10. Only a 2/10 for the cool action scenes. Otherwise it would be a 0/10.

My review of Superman IV The Quest for Peace

My review of Superman IV The Quest for Peace

Okay I just finished Superman IV The Quest for Peace. It was mid. Not horrible but not great either. The concept of Superman trying to rid the world of nuclear weapons is an interesting concept but I feel like not a lot was done with it.

Nuclear Man was also just a generic evil guy created by Lex Luthor to kill Superman. That concept is really generic. Not anything new was really done with Lex Luthor in this movie either. He’s just an evil guy who hates Superman. Like always.

Seeing more of Clark and Lois’s relationship in this movie was nice though. Though it is pointless once again because Clark reveals himself to Lois again and then wipes her memory again. Jezz. I really hate that. The special effects in this movie was also pretty bad.

I know the budget was slashed after Superman III underperformed and it really shows. I do think this is a better movie than Superman III though. Superman III was so boring for me besides the Bizarro Superman stuff. This movie was mid but I wasn’t bored at least.

It had interesting concepts just a poor execution. I would give Superman IV The Quest for Peace a 6/10. Now I’ve seen all of the Christopher Revees Superman movies. My ranking is the following.

\#4 Superman III

\#3 Superman IV The Quest for Peace

\#2 Superman (1987)

\#1 Superman II

This tetralogy has some pretty low low points but also some pretty high high points. I can definitely see what it’s a classic. I had a fun time watching all of them. I would give the tetralogy as a whole a 7/10.

My review of Ghost Rider

Okay so I just finished Ghost Rider. I thought it was pretty good. Johnny Blaze was a good protagonist. The Ghost Rider powers are also super cool. I really like Ghost Rider being an anti hero and a bounty hunter who’s possessed by the devil. That’s a really cool concept. The action scenes are the special effects were really well done as well.

The villain was just kinda whatever but the rest of the movie was pretty good so I can forgive that. I think you’ll enjoy Ghost Rider as long as you don’t go in expecting a great story. It’s a just a cool movie. 7/10.

My review of Superman II

Okay so I just finished Superman II. It was a mixed bag for me. Most of it was good but there are some things I didn’t like about it. So starting off with the positives. I really like how fleshed out Clark and Lois’s relationship was in this movie.

It was really good in the first movie and it became even better here after Lois found out that Clark was Superman and they started dating. Their love story was realty sweet and believable. Zod was also a great villain in this movie too.

I like how they came to Earth and just started wreaking shit lol. This movie was also really funny too. Especially with Zod and Lex’s dynamic. Where Zod keeps saying he’s gonna kill Lex but Lex keeps finding ways of being useful to Zod.

Also Lex wanting to become the leader of Australia was really fun. Idk why Australia specifically. Besides the fact that Lex said he likes the beaches there. Is that a thing in the comics?

I also really liked the Metropolis citizens standing up to Zod and his henchmen after they thought Superman got killed. Though I wonder why Superman stayed crushed under that bus for so long. But it allowed for a really cool scene. So I’ll look past that.

Anyway moving onto the negatives. I don’t like how Superman chose to give up his powers to be with Lois. It feels very contrived to me. I don’t know why he can’t he be Superman and be with Lois. It’s just stupid too. Earth needs Superman.

Superman then just getting his powers back from a random Kryptonian crystal in the Fortress of Solitude. That was really stupid. Especially since he was told by his mom that losing his powers was permanent. Obviously he was always going to get his powers back.

I just wish they came up with a better way for Superman to get his powers back. I also really don’t like how Superman wipes Lois’s memory in the end of the movie in order to keep his identity a secret and to protect Lois. That just feels like such a cop out to me.

I wish they didn’t do that. That makes Superman and Lois’s relationship developing in this movie feel pointless. Because it basically was.

I get that they wanted to reset things to the status quo at the end of the movie but I really would’ve liked seeing Clark and Lois’s relationship evolve more in the later movies. Despite my problems with the movie I still really enjoyed it. 7.5/10. Would be an 8/10 but the memory wipe thing really brings down the whole movie for me.

My review of Superman (1978)

Okay so I just finished Superman (1978). I thought it was pretty good. I definitely can see why this is a classic and why it was revolutionary when it came out. Only thing that was really negative to me was the outdated special effects.

But this movie came out in the 1970s so I’m not gonna hold it against the movie obviously. I thought Clark and Lois’s relationship was pretty well developed. Their date / interview was pretty cute.

Also liked how optimistic and hopeful the movie is. It’s very refreshing in this day and age. Clark was a great character too. He’s the definition of a good guy. Which is who Superman is.

Lex Luthor was pretty cartoonishly evil but for this movie which is a classic superhero movie it works. Overall I really enjoyed Superman (1978). 8/10.

My review of Hulk 2003

Okay so I just finished Hulk 2003. I thought it was pretty good. I thought Betty and Bruce’s relationship was really well done and I also thought that Bruce’s dad being the villain alongside Ross was a unique twist that I enjoyed.

Also I thought the way Hulk was done in this movie was really well done. He felt scary and well like a monster. Which is the point. Which is why the US Government hunts him down. Overall I thought Hulk 2003 was pretty good. 8/10.

My Punisher War Zone review

Okay so I just finished Punisher Warzone. It was pretty good. I liked the darker tone. It was cool. Also I liked that Frank had to protect a family that’s very in character for him. All of the characters were pretty good imo. 7/10.

Now I’ve seen all of The Punisher live action adaptations. Jon Bernthal is by far the best Punisher. No wonder why he’s the one who stuck around the longest. It was fun watching all of the old The Punisher movies before The Punisher One Last Kill comes out tomorrow.

My review of The Punisher (2004)

Okay so I just finished The Punisher (2004). It was a pretty weak movie imo. The action was decent but I didn’t really care about any of the characters. I also thought that Frank was way too brutal in this movie. He kills criminals sure but he doesn’t light people on fire.

It was also really weird when Frank robbed those innocent guys for money. He doesn’t do that sort of thing. He doesn’t attack innocent people. I did really like how we got to see Frank’s family a lot before they got killed too. The movie was enjoyable. Just not great. 6/10.

My review of The Punisher 1989

Okay so I just finished The Punisher 1989. It was okay. Not much of a story just Frank taking down mob bosses who kidnapped kids. But the action scenes were really cool. I feel like they nailed Frank’s character too.

He’s a vigilant who kills criminals but he also cares about protecting the innocent especially kids. Which I feel like this movie got right. Overall I enjoyed The Punisher 1989. 7/10.

My review of Blade Trinity

Okay so I just finished Blade Trinity. It was so boring. Genuinely could not get into the movie at all. I was so close to turning it off so many times. So like normal humans are in this movie. Normal humans weren’t really in the first two movies.

It was mostly vampires and vampire hunters. So I was confused about that. Also the fight scenes in this movie are very lack luster compared to the first two movies. I also didn’t like that Blade was part of a time now instead of being a solo anti hero.

Blade felt like a side character in his own movie. There also wasn’t a lot of gory stuff in this movie compared to the first two movies as well which was surprising. Yeah I can see why people don’t like this movie. It’s definitely my least favorite of the trilogy. It sucks. 4/10

My Blade II review

Okay so I just finished Blade II. I thought it was a lot better than the first movie. Everything I liked about the first movie was even better. The action, visuals, wordbuliding etc. The characters and the story was a lot better too.

The villain in this movie was a lot more menacing too which I liked. Seeing Blade lead a team was also cool too. 8/10 Blade II was a big improvement over the original.

Blade 1 review

Okay so I just finished Blade 1. It was a weird movie. It didn’t really have much of a story but the action was really good. I also really liked the ascetics of this movie. Blade having to deal with being a half human half vampire hybrid was cool to see.

I also like how he’s an anti hero too. That’s unique. It was also cool how he had to confront his mom at the end too. The villain was kinda generic. Just a guy who hates Blade. The CGI was also goofy. Especially the scene with the skeletons popping out at the end.

This movie was also a lot more gory than I thought it would be. That’s not a bad thing and I don’t mind. Overall I would give Blade 1 an 7/10. Pretty good overall but don’t expect a masterpiece of a story.

My review of X-Men ‘97 season 1

Okay so I just finished X-Men ‘97 season 1. So for full disclosure I’ve only seen the first 3 Fox X-Men movies and I haven’t seen the original 90s cartoon or read any X-Men comics. That being said I really enjoyed this show.

The art style, animation, fight scenes, and the writing were all so good. I don’t feel like making a super in depth review so all I’ll say is Cyclops, Wolverine, Jubilee, and Rogue were my favorites.

I also thought the stuff they did with Professor X, Magneto, and Jean Gret was really interesting too. This makes me wanna watch the original 90s cartoon. I might someday. Overall I would give X-Men ‘97 an 8/10. I’m really looking forward to watching season 2 after it finishes airing.

Okay I just finished Black Adam. Man watching this movie was such a waste of time. Genuinely I feel like I wasted my time watching this movie. Okay so Black Adam is presented as a villain but he becomes a hero like 20 minutes in.

After he’s asked to save this woman’s son and he’s still treated like a villain though. It makes no sense. Dwayne Johnson’s acting is whatever. Not bad but definitely not good. The story was boring. Just a classic story about gods and stuff. I’m not into that sort of thing.

The action is just fine. I really thought that Black Adam’s characterization was confusing and that that story was boring. I thought everything else was mid. This is the first DCEU movie I’ve felt like I wasted my time watching. 2/10.

Okay I just finished Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. I thought it was pretty good. Not as good as the first movie. But still good. The visuals in this movie were good still but not as good as the first movie.

I liked the plot of Aquaman having to team up with his brother to save Atlantis from a new villain. The fight scenes in this movie were good too. But not as good as the first movie. I did like Arthur’s brother redeeming himself. That was a good arc for him. It felt earned.

I also liked Arthur letting his brother go in the end too. It felt earned after he helped Arthur save Atlantis. Also Arthur’s brother starting to warm up to the surface world too was also cool too. The best way to describe this movie is the definition of mid.

Not great but not groundbreaking either. It does everything worse than the first movie but not terribly too. It’s an enjoyable movie but not a great one. 7/10.

I originally posted this on my X account in threads so that’s why the sentences cut off like that.

Okay I just finished Peacemaker season 2. This will be a review of the whole show. I’ll keep this short. This show reminded of a show version of The Suicide Squad. Which I really enjoyed since I really liked that movie. I mean it’s a sequel series to The Suicide Squad so I would-

hope it’s similar to it. I think all of the characters were really good. With my favorites being Peacemaker himself and Vigilante. I really like how Peacemaker is a fucked up person who’s trying to do the right thing but he always goes about it the wrong way due to his personal-

issues. I think that’s a really interesting dynamic. Vignette was great too. He’s super funny. I like how he’s a killer but he’s also like an average moody teenager basically. Even though he’s in his mid 20s. I really the concept of this show. A group of bad people who bring out-

the best of each other. That’s really cool and interesting imo. This show is also super funny too. It has the right amount of comedy, action, and serious stuff. The plot of season 1 with them trying to stop an alien invasion is a classic but it’s used in a really interesting and-

unique way here. I really liked that the butterflies could take over human bodies. That’s pretty cool. It reminded me of the Skrolls from Marvel. I would give season 1 an 8/10. Now moving onto season 2. I really liked the concept of Chris seemingly finding this perfect universe-

where his dad and brother are both alive and they’re all super heroes together. But then the twist of it actually being a Nazi world was really well done. The series ending with Peacemaker getting arrested is lame though. I hope he returns in a future DCU project though.

I would give Peacemaker season 2 a 9 and the series as a whole a 9 as well
