Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? This week's adventures took us to a lot of news a movie I wasn't intending on seeing but I did so it should be a pretty simple and easy week! So let's get started with some news first!
NEWS!
-Avengers: Endgame passes Avatar at the box office as the highest grossing film of all time. This does not surprise me and I'm so excited that it did!
-PS5 Specs announced, I am expecting more information around the time of E3 which I will try my best to do at reviewing. Spider-Man for PS4 had 8.5 second load times and on the PS5 it took 1.8 seconds.
-Vanity Fair releases special edition covers for Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker and even has some information on it and the production of the film.
-June 8th Community Day for Pokemon Go will feature Slakoth, I will be in Margate then but hopefully I'll find some place to play and get my Slaking!
-Earthworm Jim is getting a special edition NES pink cartridge
-Taiko Waititi's live acion Akira film will release in May 2021. I am super excited for this I need to read the rest of Akira, I've only read the first part of the story.
REVIEWS!
John Wick: Chapter 3- Parabellum
This movie is an extreme action movie with extreme scenes and characters... except John Wick. I know the basis of John Wick and I've seen the ending of the second one but that's it. I was drug to the movie even though I was in the mood to see a movie but it had to be this one. So here we are reviewing it for this week!
I am not a fan of action films due to the lack of story and it just feels like the story takes you through to the next action scene. This one felt just like that except 3 films in and the main character still is a blank page of personality? It just didn't work for me.
Now I will give credit where credit is due, the cinematography of this film was fantastic! The colors and lighting were beautiful and really well done, and there some really great shots with careful framing. I think for me that was the best part of the film because, again, I'm not a big action movie fan.
It was fun to see John Wick killing people with books and horses and a gun that he custom built and used for one bullet but the action scenes were just like "yup, that's an fight scene".
There were a few jokes in the film that I liked, the one with Halle Barrie being upset about her dog being shot and John Wick replying "I know how you feel", the one after boss fight "Hey John... That was a cool fight, wasn't it?"; and the final scene where John flips Morpheus off.
This film was basically like "Hey you liked the Matrix right?" and then just made a film for those fans. But is it going on my ultimate shelf? No way Jose! Not even close!
Next week... Aladdin! All the best, Ross
