AVENGERS: ENDGAME movie review

The epic battle of the Avengers and the mad titan Thanos, and Marvel's 10 year saga comes to an end, Avengers: Endgame's 3hrs and 5mins length is not even noticeable for all the action and contents.

With the remaining allies to restore and protect the universe's order, we are presented with amazing scenes and points that will make us excited for the upcoming chapters of our mightiest heroes. The first part were so fast paced but then redeemed each scene along the story and you really have to pay attention on everything that's happening. Pee time wouldn't even come into consideration while watching the movie.

Still containing a good balance of drama, comedy and action mix, Avengers: Endgame would be the benchmark of all movies in the MCU. I can't wait to see how the stories will unfold for our heroes in the MCU's phase 4. It has lots of great surprises and awesome concepts that has put me at the edge of my seat and will be remembered for a long time.

Avengers assemble!

I can understand why the Avengers will be this generation's defining story that has opened our doors for everyone to the amazing comic world. I will be forever be thankful of Stan Lee, the Russo brothers, along with the cast, especially Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, Jeremy Renner, Tom Holland, and all the cast that have been with us for the past 10 years. You will be forever in our hearts, whether we meet you or not, I'm actually sad putting those words here but I hope you all feel the same thing. We love you 3000.

IRON MAN 3 movie review

Tony Stark is back. and he's got the whole gang with him in the latest IRON MAN installment. IRON MAN 3 would be the most entertaining movie of the franchise but there are some points that i want to discuss.

i was actually excited about it seeing a lot of action from the trailer and promotions. with Tony Stark's exceptional intelligence that geeks may only understand, mixing with the given Robert Downey Jr. humor is already a reason to watch it. not bad for more than 2 hours, i was actually wide awake seeing the whole movie to the end, catching the scene after the credits.

plot was revolving around the revenge of Killian (Guy Pearce) after his rejection on the partnership with Tony Stark. 13 years later, appearing neat and with a secret weapon for mass destruction. i think that the plot was executed well with an acceptable time frame so the developments are not that boring. there had also been some extra scenes which never compromised the whole concept.

favorite scene is how he managed all the work when his Malibu Mansion was attacked. Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) makes the Man-move with the suit which made it even cooler.

there's this feeling that you're left hanging after the whole movie. it's like you're anticipating for more events, hopefully another sequel?

if you enjoy IRON MAN 3, i hope you'll also enjoy this:

THE AVENGERS movie review

it was just really exciting scene after scene watching the collective Avengers in one screen. Thor, Ironman, Captain America, Black Widow, the Incredible Hulk, Hawkeye and Nick Fury giving us a serving of what they can do in the (hopefully) first installment of The Avengers by Marvel Studios and Walt Disney Pictures.

even not as a comic fan, i just enjoyed the whole movie with all those not-Michael Bay blasts and action. the more interesting execution of the characters by Robert Downey, Jr. (Ironman) and Chris Evans (Captain America) is that in spite of their superhero abilities, the more human persona gets out of their wits. even gods Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Loki (Tom Hiddleston) were even deceived by the earthlings in their stay. the mission is to acquire the Tesseract, a strong mineral from space capable of producing power for living or to destroy. aimed to be protected by S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), he secretly forms a plan of bringing together incredible humans to resist evil plans when the Tesseract was acquired by other individuals.

my only thing from the promotions and movies produced that Black Widow and Hawkeye were not given as equal billing like Iron Man, Captain America, Thor and the Hulk which weve known the origins from previous movies. but they were given equal shining opportunities throughout the movie. what i mean are the stunts and fighting techniques that they all used. everything is super though maintained to be human: Hawkeye recycles his arrows, Captain America and Tony Stark's funny dialogue and the Hulk -- just smashes! Mark Ruffalo, by the way, did a splendid job on the character. even the graphic Hulk is incredibly fascinating, the closest modifications to Mark's face.

seeing it in 3D is ok with those pointing things coming out of the screen. you can maximize the great movie experience with the good quality of sound from the cinema. but all in all, the movie isn't too stressing from all the blasts and violence. but parental guidance is still recommended.

SHERLOCK HOLMES: A GAME OF SHADOWS movie review

the tandem of Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law returns to the big screen in the new adaptation of the world-famous detective in Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, opening on January 8, 2011 in Philippine theaters.
a new adventure await our tandem preventing a heinous crime plotted by a great professor, James Moriarty (James Harris). perfect timing for Watson's wedding, Holmes drags him to stop this incident and save quite a wide number of the human race.

Sherlock Holmes got new strategies and tactics, maintaining his humorous approaches -- and that's what Watson really like about him, intelligent, consistent and spontaneous, making him his best man for the wedding.

there are a lot of new interesting things in this movie. it's cleaner, a few new tricks used and cooler slow-motions scenes are projected in the second installment. crisp visuals like blasts and chipping wood give us a sense of great danger as you draw yourself into the movie. i also liked the computer generated graphics and it is exciting as the first one but with more unexpected twists. you will be guaranteed with a next sequel.

below is the trailer of SHERLOCK HOLMES: A GAME OF SHADOWS opening in theaters January 8 2012 in the Philippines. brought to us by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Entertainment Company.

friendship is tested in this movie. you can check on those who will really be there when you need them.

ROBERT DOWNEY JR almost lost his mind in DUE DATE

In Warner Bros.’ new comedy “Due Date,” Robert Downey Jr. is Peter Highman, an architect on his way back to L.A. from a business trip in Atlanta. He’s on a tight schedule because his wife is expecting their first child and the date is all set. Everything is fine until he gets tangled up at the airport with a wannabe actor named Ethan Tremblay (Zach Galifianakis) who somehow gets the both of them booted off the plane and grounded for the foreseeable future.

Stranded without cash, credit, ID or time, Peter finds himself in the galling position of having to hitch a ride home with a guy he’d rather take a swing at—Ethan. The person he holds responsible for his predicament in the first place is now behind the wheel of a rental car and offering him the passenger seat.

Though clearly not his best option, it’s Peter’s only option.

At first grateful for the company, Ethan soon learns that his tightly wound traveling companion is not going to be any fun at 20 Questions, nor generally receptive to the concept of going with the flow. Meanwhile, Peter realizes he’s just joined forces with a guy who can casually ruin his life in more ways than he could ever imagine.

“If there really was somebody like Ethan around, he’d have been strangled in his sleep long ago,” Downey attests. “He’s like a laser beam that focuses on the one thing that will drive you crazy the most, the kind of guy who will eat a whole plate of waffles before mentioning he’s allergic to waffles. I’m sure a lot of people know someone like this, someone who is perfectly wired to activate all of their irritation buttons.”

Granted, Peter has a short fuse to begin with. “He’s kind of an edgy, controlling, judgmental guy with some anger-management issues. And who better to help him explore those issues than Ethan Tremblay? High-strung as he is normally, Peter is now facing the birth of his first child and is thrown into this nightmare, so it’s all amped up,” Downey adds.

Peter may come across like a self-assured, aggressive control freak but, says co-screenwriter Adam Sztykiel, “You sense that his behavior comes from an emotional place and from issues he has yet to work out, that are revealed in the story. Not far beneath the alpha male posture is his own vulnerability and how terrified he is to be responsible for a child.”

“As a parent,” Downey offers, “I know the big question is how are you going to manage and protect something that you have no experience with?”

Playing on that theme were co-screenwriters Alan R. Cohen and Alan Freedland. “Peter’s comfort zone is when he’s in control. And everything that happens in this movie is about losing control; from his inability to get back home to the larger issue of his impending fatherhood—and whether or not he’s ready for it,” Cohen says.

“We wanted to put him into a situation where he had to travel across the country with someone who was effectively a child,” adds Freedland.

Not that it would lessen Peter’s pain, stress and frustration if he knew it might be pain, stress and frustration with a purpose. Still…

“When I read the script, I was moved,” recalls executive producer Susan Downey. “It’s so funny and yet so human. You want a comedy to have that grounding, in the way that you want a drama to have some humor. In ‘Due Date,’ though his experience with Ethan, Peter finds his human side and gets ready for the birth of his own child. It’s about him becoming a man before becoming a father.”

Opening soon across the Philippines, “Due Date” is distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.

TODD PHILLIPS directs DUE DATE

From Todd Phillips, the director of the smash comedy “The Hangover,” comes “Due Date” starring Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis as two unlikely companions who are thrown together on a road trip that turns out to be as life-changing as it is outrageous.

Downey plays Peter Highman, an expectant first-time father whose wife’s due date is a mere five days away. As Peter hurries to catch a flight home from Atlanta to be at her side for the birth, his best intentions go completely awry when a chance encounter with aspiring actor Ethan Tremblay (Galifianakis) forces Peter to hitch a ride with Ethan—on what turns out to be a cross-country road trip that will ultimately destroy several cars, numerous friendships and Peter’s last nerve.

For Phillips, who also serves as a producer and co-writer on the film, the fun of making “Due Date” has been tied to the remarkable cast he has assembled. “Half-way through `The Hangover,' I decided I wanted to work with Zach Galifianakis again,” he notes. “Then, getting a guy like Robert Downey Jr. was a long shot, but when he came on board, it was crazy. So, when the concept came together with the right cast, we had a movie. What made it different was the ability to walk that thin line of awkwardness between the two main characters. But that’s why we have actors like Robert and Zach—they’re so good at it.”

The entire shoot of “Due Date” has been fuelled with an “anything goes” spirit of improvisation, says Phillips. “They throw lines at each other, but we normally talk about it before,” he says. “Still, the spirit of improvising is in the film in a way that makes it feel alive.”

“Every day’s a little bit different, but we’re always doing the same thing, which is playing around and massaging it and trying to have a good time,” Downey says. “I think that’s one of the great things that Phillips said—that he loves doing this because he gets paid to do what he would do for free. And he basically laughs all day long.”

Susan Downey, who serves as an executive producer, adds, “Robert, Zach and Todd all really feed off of each other. They almost have a kind of brotherhood in how they approach this. They just go at each other in a very fun yet constructive way. And they all share the same goal—they just want to make the best version of this possible. It may not be a version that’s on the page the morning they show up to shoot the scene, but they just keep mining it and pushing it to be the best that it can be.”

Opening soon across the Philippines, “Due Date” is distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
