Fleming posted a review for Sooryavanshi (2021) in Movies
Sooryavamshi is an action crime thriller directed by rohit shetty. Here are the positives and negatives: Performances-akshay kumar is a perfect fit for this role. He can do both comedy and intense scenes with perfect ease. To my surprise, katrina kaif has given a nice performance. Her dialogue delivery was pretty good compared to her old performances. The supporting cast is pretty good. Background score-what a brilliant background score!! You can literally feel the thump in your heart whenever the title theme plays in the background. Especially, the entry sequemces of the three superstars is epic. Sound mixing-one of the finest sound mixing i have ever seen. Mixing the gunshots with background music is a pretty tough job and they have done it superbly. Impressive!! Antagonists-when the team of antagonists include stalwarts like jackie shroff, kumud mishra, gulshan grover and all you have to know they are not leaving it easy. A perfect team of antagonists. If you try to find logic in it you are searching for the wrong notes. Go to the theatres, enjoy the film and entertain yourselves. This is a proper mass entertainer. I rate it 9 out of 10.

Fleming posted a review for Eternals (2021) in Movies
The new MCU film introduces us to the Eternals, a group I knew absolutely nothing about going in... as well as a few other characters that pop up.. one of whom I was more familiar with. This is an interesting film, that opens up a bunch of new storylines for future films.. but the film itself... I feel like it was a bit of a misfire.. which is very rare for Marvel... the film contains a lot of world building stuff to set up the Eternals storyline which requires an awful lot of flashbacks and back story... which hampers the forward momentum of the main story... The cast is decent, Gemma Chan does most of the heavy lifting.. but they really waste Angelina Jolie and especially Salma Hayek in the film. It gets better in the last act but sadly this might be the weakest Marvel film since the MCU started.

Fleming posted a review for Red Notice (2021) in Movies
Is it a knock off of other, better movies? Yes. Is this the most engaging story with deep characters? No way. Is this a fun 2 hours to spend with the 3 biggest movie stars on the planet? Hell yeah it is! The Rock is great in this, Gal Gadot is having alot of fun, you can tell and Ryan Reynolds while his usual self, it gets a little annoying towards the end. The comedy is more hit than miss. Some lines made us laugh out loud, and there was some chuckles in my audience too. The action is directed quite well with a few sweeping drone shots, a standout starting museum escape and ending tunnel chase that reminded me of fast 4, but done better. It's self aware, it's fun and my wife and I had a blast.

Fleming posted a review for Black Widow (2021) in Movies
The atmosphere in the cinema was great, everyone was ready to see some marvel action on the big screen after a 2 year absence. The film does drag a bit in the beginning I felt, but one scene eventually kicks off and the film shifts to drive. Finally we get some back story to Natasha, the story was obviously the core and mostly it was a throughly entertainment and in depth story about her family and past. Action as usual was great, and the use of sound in the Dolby atmos theatre was superb. Comedic moments were great in the film, audience had great reactions. The music was great as well. One particular choice of song stood out for me. (Watch and you'll find out I hope) I liked how you are able to connect to the characters more since it's a more grounded film. It's essentially a spy espionage film in a very well known universe. Only other issue I had with the film was the villain, wasn't very convincing and I would say opposed to being frightened for Natasha because of the villain. Great return for the big screen!

Fleming posted a review for Toofaan (2021) in Movies
I watched it last night. Bollywood is not going to reform it goes back and back on same theme, predictable story. While watching the film I got the feel that this movie tries to project Hindus in bad light. It tries to show Hindus are communal and hate-filled against Muslims which is not true opposite is true. I would exhort everyone to stay away from it as far as possible.It's a copy of 4-5 Hollywood films with unnecessary love interest part. Feels like the writer wasn't even interested in writing. The movie could be summed up in two training montages and a fight scene. Boring as hell.
