Zack Snyder's Justice League
(2021)

A MASTERPIECE OF SUPERHERO CINEMA!!
A complete redemption of the 2017 Justice League that was finished by Joss Whedon, instead of Zack Snyder due to a family tragedy. I would take it as far as saying that this film may of saved the DCEU. The storyline was brilliant, and sets up for an amazing future if continued, the comedy was good, the acting superb, the characters had depth and you could easily emote with them. The action scenes were incredible, and beautifully shot. I absolutely love this film, this is DCEU version of Marvels: Avenger's, Infinity War, or Endgame. And yes, it is a four hour film, but comparably. Before Marvel's first Avenger movie, marvel produced five standalone superhero films with a total estimated 10 hours to introduces their hero's. DCEU/Zack Snyder had only three films, before they produced the Justice League. And after finally getting the true vision of the film, we see that Zack Snyder did in fact produce and give us a phenomenal film. I complete support a future of DC films guided under the vision of Zack Snyder's original plan.

Black Adam
(2022)

Enjoyable, and a solid addition to the DCEU.
The movie was a fun, action packed adventure. Dwayne Johnson did not miss on accurately portraying the DCEU's character "Black Adam". I think all the actors did a wonderful job, especially Pierce Brosnan with "Doctor Fate.". The movie had wonderful and cinematic scenes, it introduced you to a lot more DC characters, and all actors did a good job. The storyline was enjoyable, now it wasn't a life changing film, but it is good leaning towards great. I'll definitely watch it again at some point. The end credit scene did make me immensely happy. And I'm excited to see more DCEU films in the future, and more from "Black Adam's" character too.

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law
(2022)

Somewhat Entertaining, for a show with no idea where its Going.
If you're someone who enjoys a show with plot, a storyline, good writing, and depth, don't watch She-Hulk. It kept me moderately entertained, but there was no story what so ever. Basically just a bunch of filler episodes, that make you go, "Why would you even put money into a making this?". Left a lot to be desired, and overall feels like a abundent waste of time. NOW, with that said, I did enjoy Tatiana Maslany's acting and her interpretation of She-Hulk. I think if they had actually written a story, then it would of been amazing, but the decided to do whatever it is they were going with. The only episode with good ratings is Episode 8, and that's only because a certain character makes an appearance. I hope for more in the future, and by more, I mean like the show actually having a plot.

Dragons: Race to the Edge
(2015)

Such an amazing Series
If you're a Dragon Riders fan, then this show will satisfy your Dragon needs. The characters are the same except for a few little tweaks but that's bound to change. (*wink* *wink*) Stories about more dragons, discovering and building and fighting. All your favorite How To Train Your Dragon jazz. With new characters to go. This series follows, Dragons Riders of Berk and other Dragons shows. This is the third installment, and is in between HTTYD and HTTYD2. But this looks like HTTYD2 character styles. The excellent Animation and story is sure to impress and i hope they continue to make many more episodes. Releasing a season about every 6 months on Netflix, i'm always counting down the days until they drop a new one. And i wish it was more and sooner. But this is a great bonus while you're waiting for the next HTTYD3 Movie. Which is taking forever. But all in all, the Dreamwork animators have out done themselves, yet again. And hopefully continue to do so.

How to Train Your Dragon
(2010)

Dragons!!!!
Dragons! A perfect blend of animation and reality. Not so dark that kids can't enjoy it's and not so light its stupid and unpleasant for the adults or teens. Even the TV shows that followed the movies are amazing and impressive. Dreamwork's clearly doesn't let down on their animation or their story-line. Lovers of Animation and Fantasy will definitely enjoy this movie. The start of an awesome trilogy and a line of epic TV series. But if you're a parent and have tiny kids maybe this is to big for them, you'll have to check and decide for yourself. In my mind its fine, but i'm not you. Clearly taking an idea from the well known Dogs is man best friend, Dreamwork's decided to take that but make that boy a viking and that dog a Dragon. The story of how Hiccup, a young not burly viking who doesn't seem to fit in anywhere in his Clan. Everything he seems to do is a mistake but he tries hard to help his Clan and take down the ferocious Night Fury; a dragon that no one has ever seen but torments them along with all the rest. Hiccup uses his mind to fire at the Night Fury and take it down... later on when he goes to find it, he's unable to finish the job.

Instead he learns how to tame this not so Furious, Night Fury. Which luckily in this film is a dog compared to what a real dragon might act, Smaug per say. Learning how to tame this Dragon, Hiccup finds that Dog is mans best friend. And takes down a much more deadly beast.

Cyborg 009: Call of Justice
(2016)

Great Anime Show! Need More!!
If you're a fan of Anime, and Fantasy. As i am, then you will enjoy this show. It is on Netflix, in English! Which is even cooler. As someone who likes Anime but isn't into the Supernatural dark spirit side of it. By that i mean, Ghosts, Spirits, Witchcraft. Or all that stuff, i prefer. Superhero's or Cyborgs and powers. Not the dark stuff. This is perfect. It has an adult element, meaning their is language. So not children material. But adults or whatever. The art work is exceptional, and so is the story. The art they use for showing the powers in work is AMAZING! I love the detail, and was astounded by it. I find this show a breath of fresh air. The perfect mix of Anime and story. And in English, is a another home run. I'm always looking for good Anime, that doesn't go to far. So they did this perfectly. I'm impressed and ready and waiting for season two, and hoping for more episodes. The characters are good and keep to their original powers. And hope for further astonishment by the art work they do and the perfect mix of power they have with it.

Robin Hood
(2006)

Why I love this show.
I watched this show when i was 10 years-old. And have re-watched it since then, over and over again. If you're a fan of Robin Hood, whether he's a fox or if he's a man in tights, or maybe a bit of Crowe? Or the many different versions of him. This one is a satisfying series, to me personally.

The writers and crew do their best to keep it to the time line yet also give it a bit of a modern edge. It isn't just the tale of defeating the sheriff and happy endings. No they give the characters each a story and personality that is developed over time, the defeating of the sheriff is over a long period of time.

They give Robin (Jonas Armstrong) That show off personality but if you watch you realize its just one of his covers. He's funny but can be dead serious. And you see over time his life story. And you grow to love his characters. One of my favorites, and the one character that i cried over at (SPOILERS!!!!) her death was Maid Marien (Lucy Griffiths). She plays a strong but also sacrificing character. Though she plays her own hero she also plays someone who does need to be rescue, (Which everyone has to be saved sometimes.) She doesn't greet Robin with open arms. And an oh i've missed you. More like a, i'm still mad at you for leaving. And get out of my way. But luckily he wins her over with a lot of work. I mean a lot.

The relationship between her and Robin is one to be admired, and when she died in the series, I BAWLED! Of course i was ten and eleven but i still imagine that she somehow doesn't die and they all live happily ever after. But this show doesn't do And Everyone Lives Happily Ever After. In fact most of everyone dies, but not without a good cause. And it ends well but not without you wishing for their was more.
