    Captain America: Brave New World

    ★★★

    “Captain America: Brave New World” brings Anthony Mackie back as Sam Wilson, stepping into the iconic shield on the big silver screen. While Mackie delivers a solid performance, embodying the earnestness we’ve come to expect from Cap, the film doesn’t quite hit the emotional highs. The beginning stakes revolve around a character that didn’t resonate with me from “Falcon and Winter Soldier”, making it hard to fully invest from the start.

    ★★★★

    This movie is a wild ride! It’s got that classic Stephen King vibe but cranked up with over-the-top gore and dark humor.

It’s a fresh and entertaining take on King’s work, blending horror and comedy in a way that’s both shocking and hilarious. If you’re into gory horror with a sense of humor, this one’s a must-watch.

The cinematography is visually stunning, capturing the grandeur and solemnity of the setting.

    However, while the narrative sets up expectations for unexpected twists, the story unfolds in a rather dumb manner. The ending, in…

    Mufasa: The Lion King

    ★★★½

    Mufasa: The Lion King, directed by Barry Jenkins, offers a visually stunning prequel that delves into the origins of one of its most iconic characters.

    The film’s writing delivers profound lines that resonate deeply, adding unexpected emotional weight to the narrative. However, as a prequel, the storyline is predictably charted, leading to a lack of suspense in key plot developments. This predictability results in scenes that should evoke tension but instead feel drawn out and have a lack of emotional…
