Pubg posted a review for Dark Phoenix in Movies
So, when Dark Phoenix, starring Sophie Turner who has gained worldwide fame with her role as Sansa Stark in the show Game Of Thrones, was announced, there was much hope. Apart from seeming dark and edgy, the trailer looked promising. Well, that just shows how deceptive trailers can be. Unfortunately, Dark Phoenix is just old wine in an older bottle. The film is the final nail in the coffin for the X-Men series and as far as finales go, after the fantastic Avengers: Endgame and Logan, this is just a miserable finish to the franchise. Directed by Simon Kinberg, Dark Phoenix is the second attempt at retelling one of the most iconic storylines in the comics, the phoenix saga. After the horrendous attempt in X-Men: The Last Stand, this one does not seem to have fared much better. Compared to these attempts, the animated series that ran in the 90's had done more justice to the Phoenix saga. Just a small summary, on a mission to space, Jean accidentally absorbs a cosmic force from a solar flare. This makes her more powerful, yet unstable. She cannot control it and is a threat to everyone she cares around her. Yes, this is a done-to-death storyline everywhere, superheroes battling their powers and having to choose between good and evil. But at least in many cases, the packaging is different. Here, it's outright predictable and so formulaic that you know the path the film will take after the first 20 minutes. Jean Grey smashes a few things, and a terrible accident later, some of her teammates decide she's bad and must be stopped. Apart from angst-ridden friends, Jean has a bloodthirsty alien race on her trail, who want to absorb her powers. There is the usual talk of love and family: Magneto (Michael Fassbender) being caught in a conflict that he wants to avoid, Charles Xavier (James Mcavoy) trying to get inside people's heads and convincing them to return home. Most of the other characters remain deadpan and have no motivation or characteristic apart from just reacting to Jean's powers. The biggest disappointment is Scott or Cyclops, who just comes across as a whiny child crying about his girlfriend. If you expected more from weather-goddess Storm, please don't. She's just there to tell you that Jean is bad. Nightcrawler is blue and exists to teleport people, and the writers forgot that he might have a personality beyond that. Quicksilver is forgotten about in the second half of the film. The relationship between the earlier members of X-Men, like Xavier, Mystique and Magneto are the good points of the film, though you cannot see much of it. The chemistry between McaAvoy and Fassbender remains as combustible as ever, but you have hardly any time to dwell on that. Seriously, the next time, make a film on Xavier and Magneto playing chess. Even that might be better. To be honest, Sophie Turner, for the most part does a fair job, even though she is not as convincing as you would like her to be in the role. Unfortunately, the cringe-worthy dialogues and action scenes tend to be too overpowering to notice her performance properly. The film becomes a congealed mass of spandex that even talented actors like Jennifer Lawrence, James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender cannot save. The ending is meant to be hard-hitting but just leaves you with one eyebrow politely raised. All is not lost entirely; there are two or three memorable dialogues in the film. Jennifer Lawrence's Mystique tells Charles, "The women are saving the men, we should be the X-Women." And another, which is strikingly similar to Captain Marvel, the villain tells Jean that emotions make her weak. Jean replies that her emotions have made her stronger, and they continue their battle. It is promising to see films take this line, as for eons, women are always told to keep their emotions under check and not be 'hysterical'. If only the film could have been crisper, and less fragmented, these lines might have actually had a harder impact.

Pubg posted a review for Men in Black: International in Movies
Kumail Nanjiani is the best thing about “Men in Black: International.” That’s saying something, considering that the actor never appears on camera and that the character he lends his expressively plaintive voice to is a CGI alien the size of a gerbil. The last surviving member of a race that has been hiding out on Earth — in a Marrakesh antiques shop, specifically, in the guise of chess pieces — he is an anonymous cog in a larger (well, not that large actually) machine. “Pawns don’t have names,” he tells agents M and H (Tessa Thompson and Chris Hemsworth), operatives from the Men in Black agency, a global police force that monitors and maintains order on the comings and goings of extraterrestrials. “Pawny,” they decide to call him — in a telling moment of unimaginativeness that will make you grateful they don’t add the last name “McPawnface.” From that moment forward, Pawny is a source of steady and much-needed comic relief — in an otherwise dutifully thriller-ish plot that sees M and H trying to A) keep a world-destroying weapon out of the hands of evil aliens; B) identify a potential mole inside the MIB organization; and C) kill, capture or avoid assassination by a pair of hit men from another planet. These killers are played by Larry and Laurent Bourgeois, the French hip-hop dancers (and siblings) known as Les Twins. If not exactly stunt casting, it still feels like pandering; their performance includes a scene set in a disco, where they deliver some of the strikingly original, herky-jerky moves they’re famous for — on dance competition shows, in viral videos and as Beyoncé’s backup dancers.

Pubg posted a review for Spider-Man: Far from Home in Movies
SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME takes place after the events of Avengers: Endgame. Peter Parker (Tom Holland) returns to his magnet New York high school with his best friend Ned (Jacob Batalon), crush MJ (Zendaya), and other students in the post-"Blip" (i.e., Thanos' Big Snap) world. As Peter and his pals prepare for a school trip to Europe, Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders), and what's left of S.H.I.E.L.D. investigate a bizarre "storm with a face" that's fought by Quentin Beck (Jake Gyllenhaal), a mysterious human from a parallel universe who's later dubbed Mysterio. Before Peter's European trip, Happy (Jon Favreau) gives him a special inheritance from the late Tony Stark: command of EDITH, billion-dollar tech embedded in a pair of sunglasses. While in Venice, Fury tracks Peter down and commands him to help Mysterio fight the Elementals (sentient natural-disaster villains). All Peter really wants is to confess his love to MJ and try to move forward as a "friendly neighborhood" superhero after all of the Endgame drama -- so he relinquishes control of EDITH and ends up in bigger trouble than he ever imagined.

Pubg posted a review for Toy Story 4 in Movies
It might be hard to admit from a faithful toy's perspective, but nothing lasts forever. Even a great little deputy like Sheriff Woody's beloved Andy has to grow up at some point. And taking a box of toys off to college, and beyond, doesn't always work so well. So grown-up Andy shares his prized possessions—Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jessie the cowgirl and all the rest—with a rambunctious little girl named Bonnie. Of course, Woody understands Andy's choice. It's hard, but he gets it. He also understands that his former position as the toy-box leader is now somebody else's job: It now belongs to a dolly … named Dolly. But even though he's often overlooked at playtime or dropped in the closet with dust bunnies and forgotten playthings, Woody is still the most loyal, most faithful, most earnest plaything of them all. So when he sees that Bonnie is anxious about her first day of kindergarten, Woody sneaks into her backpack to make sure her day goes well. And he even secretly helps her build a toy during craft time at school: a gussied-up little spork made with clay and pipe cleaners. She joyfully names it Forky. Problem is, Forky wakes up a little confused after Bonnie crafts him. Bonnie sees Forky as a beloved toy, a symbol of comfort in a stressful world. But Forky sees himself as what he was originally created to be: an eating utensil to be thrown out after being used. His place, he feels, is the trash can. So when Bonnie isn't looking, Forky spontaneously scampers for the nearest garbage receptacle. "Trash!" he yells gleefully. "TRASH!" So it's up to Woody to drag him back. For Bonnie's sake. That's Woody's job. You see, duty to your kid is a toy's paramount purpose. And that's true even when your kid … doesn't really care all that much about you anymore.

Pubg posted a review for Article 15 in Movies
Ayushmann Khurrana is one Bollywood actor who seems to be doing everything right with his career. He has consistently chosen substantial scripts and has made a name for himself in an industry of superstars. He is not the only one who seems to have gotten things right, though. Filmmaker Anubhav Sinha who last directed the movie Mulk has done the same thing. A film based on the topic of Article 15, which is extensively covered in Part III of the Indian Constitution – Fundamental Rights, may sound like a hardcore political drama. But this movie is so much more than that. Director Anubhav Sinha has done a splendid job at handling a subject as simple as it is complex. We are fooling ourselves if we believe that discrimination based on caste does not exist anymore in the Indian society and believe that these issues exist only in the rural areas. The movie doesn’t falters much. The pace of the movie may seem slow to some.
