Movie Review: Star Wars: The Last Jedi

As 2017 begins to wind down and close with the holiday season, the last big film for 2017 has finally arrived in theaters - bringing with it a lot of excitement, expectations, and intrigue as to how the next chapter of George Lucas' brainchild of a space opera will play out. After two years since the first installment of the "Sequel Trilogy" debuted and shocked the world, Star Wars fans are now ready to see "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" - which picks up directly after the events of 2015's "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" and sees viewers reunite with new characters Rey, Finn, Poe Dameron, and Kylo Ren, as well as veterans like Mark Hamill and the late Carrie Fisher, who reprise their legendary roles of Luke Skywalker and his sister Leia Organa respectively.

Thanks to Walt Disney Studios Philippines, I attended the advance premiere screening of "The Last Jedi" this past Tuesday December 12th - being one of the lucky viewers to see the film a day ahead of its Philippine release and a few days before the US! Watching as a fan and eager to finally cosplay one of the characters from the Sequel Trilogy, I debuted my Last Jedi era Kylo Ren -

As I am not one to give big SPOILERS about this movie (and it has to be experienced by fans first hand) - consider this review not to heavy on revelations but touching on some important things that make this a unique entry into the Disney era Star Wars saga. So diving into the ongoing saga of a galaxy far, far away once more - here is my review for "Star Wars: The Last Jedi".

Movie Review: Justice League (2017)

At long last, the "Age of Heroes" has arrived for the DC Extended Universe  - and it brings a LOT of hope with it.

After starting out the path of bringing the heroes of the DC Universe to the big screen with the Superman reboot film "Man of Steel", Warner Bros. has come full circle with director Zack Snyder and have united the world's greatest heroes together for the first time in the big screen with "Justice League" - which pairs the likes of Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, The Flash, and Cyborg together following an invasion that threatens all of humanity and in a world that still mourns the loss of the Last Son of Krypton. Unlike previous DC Films, this one goes "All In" and tries to ignite that spark of excitement and unity by FINALLY getting the ball rolling and showing us the heroes standing together in one EPIC superhero film.

Thanks to Warner Bros. PH, I got to see the film THRICE as of this review - once suited up as Batman along with other cosplay friends going as The League. Then two more times as a fan wearing Batman apparel and going "All In" to enjoy the film in IMAX 3D and Dolby Atmos!

So without any more delays, I give my full review for "Justice League" - which is now playing in theaters. Right now, here's your SPOILER WARNING for the movie - and yes Superman clearly comes back in the film but HOW is what will be revealing in this review. I have a quick Non-Spoiler Vlog review which I put up in my YouTube page!


Now for the review proper - Read at your own risk or better yet WATCH IT - "You Can't Save The World Alone" and this film goes all out in proving just that!

Movie Review: Thor: Ragnarok

It's been a couple of years since we last saw a certain Thunder God appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (barring a cameo appearance in last year's Doctor Strange post-credits scene), but now the Odinson has returned - and he's brought along a fellow absentee Avenger who's presence is equally memorable thanks to the circumstances of both heroes' situations. As his journey leads him to the path of Ragnarok, the warrior known as Thor returns to stop an evil long hidden away that threatens to consume his home realm of Asgard and everything he holds dear in the film "Thor: Ragnarok"  - the seventeenth film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe which brings Chris Hemsworth back as the "God of Thunder" along with Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner and his jade giant alter ego, the Incredible Hulk!

Thanks to Marvel Philippines and Walt Disney Studios PH, I got to see the film in a special premiere screening last October 18th at the new Ayala Vertis North cinema - and indeed it felt like coming to the halls of Valhalla just by walking into a nicely decorated "Thor: Ragnarok" entrance adorned with Asgardian decor and featuring Heimdall's sword in the front! I brought along my trustee comic book version of Mjolnir to represent the Thunder God as well! So without any more delay, here's my review for "Thor: Ragnarok" - which opens in the Philippines on October 25th! SPOILERS MAY FOLLOW, so read at your own risk!
