The Gentleman (2020)

-
Some of the years best films typically aren’t released until later in the year, but that doesn’t stop this film. This film is bonkers and action-packed from start to finish. It stands out as one of the first exciting films of the year. What makes this film exciting is the comedic aspects of it and the interesting story that keeps audiences entertained all throughout the film. It is a film that is unlike any film that is filled with action-packed and is utterly hilarious.

Director Guy Ritchie makes a film that is unique in every way. Richie can craft a film that, despite its odd and weird tone, is able to make audiences enjoy the film because of its uniqueness. The story Ritchie creates is nothing short of enticing.

Starring in the film is Matthew McConaughey. His role as a wealthy drug profiteer is a role that I could not see him in. But he is full of surprises at every turn. His performance is not one of his best roles, but he is unique at everything he does in this film.

The films action sequences are just as crazy as the film itself. It keeps the film at bay with all the chaos that surrounds the story. Some of the best action sequences so far this year are in this film.

Though this film isn’t perfect, it still manages to entertain. It was just enough energy to excite audiences, even if it takes a while to thoroughly get the job done.

Lately, the films from " DC Comics"   have been much better than other films from previous films to come out from the folks at DC. What they have managed to do with this film, is up the ante, go all out with the story and the return of Margot Robbies "Harley Quinn". It is essentially one of the best films from the studio to date. This film is utterly crazy in all the good ways possible. It's memorable and emotional and undeniably exciting. The folks over at  "DC Comics"  have once again done it again at creating yet another entertaining film. Rising star and director of the film Cathy Yan has done a phenomenal job at creating one of the best comic films from the studio to date. She makes this film as entertaining as possible. It has heart and cleverness beyond anything I have seen from  "DC Comics"  in recent years. It has so much to offer fans of the superhero film phenomenon.  Some actors are just born to play certain roles. There i...

Batman Begins (2005)  He has been a staple in the confines of comic books. And now, the legendary "Dark Knight"  gets a screen adaptation worth viewing. Unlike the 1989 " Batman"  film starring Michael Keaton, where it relied heavily on comedy, this new take on the caped-crusader is heartfelt, emotional, and amazing. Christian Bale does an amazing job in his performance as both Bruce Wayne and the Batman. Bale dawns the billionaire turned Gotham saving, Joker crushing and Bane destroying superhero in a performance that improves throughout the trilogy. Christopher Nolan directs the first entry of the trilogy. Nolan does an excellent job making this look at the batman in a way that is fulfilling and satisfying. He uses any and all means necessary to make audiences feel the tension alongside Bales character(s). Nolan proves that this installment is a solid start to the legendary superhero saga. Not only does Bale do an amazing job at portraying the hero/billion...

The final entry to the " Homecoming " trilogy is the best in the series. Not only is it the best in the series, but it is also the best Spider-Man film of all time without a doubt in my mind. It was the year's most anticipated film of the year and it not only lives up to the hype, but it also exceeds expectations. It has the most action I have ever seen in a Spider-Man film. The action is intense, exciting, and thrilling. The film also has the genuine heart and humor fans of the franchise, let alone the Marvel filmography as a whole, have come to expect. It will go down in cinema history as one of the most entertaining superhero films of all time.  Director Jon Watts concludes his trilogy in a fantastic fashion. He has crafted the best of the trilogy and this film is a treasure to behold. His direction in this film tops the previous two films tenfold. It has the heart, action, and humor that fans expect from a Marvel movie. The scope of the action is unlike anything I hav...
