Rating: 4.1/5 Review: "Transformers: The Last Knight 3D film review" "Transformers: The Last Knight has painfully become a typical standard Michael blockbuster fare. However the excellent and immersive 3D made it a lot more entertaining." One sequel after another, Michael Bay refused to back out from his beloved franchise. Although the transformers franchise is one of my best guilty pleasures, I can't help but wonder how will it be like if another director take reins of the Transformers universe. As much as I like Michael's directing style, I prefer to see him taking up other projects. It is already crystal clear that he has nothing much left to add on to the already tired franchise. The story: The ridiculous and implausible plot seems to get a lot of flak. It scored an all-new low 15 percent on rotten tomatoes and the general audience didn't seem to like it either. If this replaced the second installment of Transformers, I am sure this would b...

TV reviews Rating: 4/5 Review: "Legion TV review" Rating: 3.8/5 Review: "Marvel's Iron Fist TV review" The only similarity is that both TV series are based on the characters of Marvel. Each has a different treatment. Legion may based on the superhero genre but its whimsical presentation is a rare but engaging style. Throughout its 8 episodes, the creators and directors do not bother explaining anything that does not make sense. It is akin to Christopher Nolan's inception where the reality is hard to separate from fantasy. It is a confusing but engaging way of getting the audience's attention. I admit that at times, the series veers toward the ridiculous boundary of fantasy. The style is portrayed in an indie film style. Small and intimate. There is a slow start before unleashing a torrent of emotions and stunning visuals from episode 4 onward. For a TV series, the visual treatment is definitely amazing. It draws your eyes to the screen....

Rating: 4.3/5 Review: "Wonder Woman 3D film review" (141 minutes) "DCU has delivered a solid solo superhero film, Wonder Woman, that does not only have spectacular and rousing action but has an intriguing character depth and clear-cut plot." The fourth adaptation based on the DCU franchise is a great solo superhero film. Although the previous films, Batman V Superman and Suicide Squad, did not receive stellar reviews, I enjoyed them as guilty pleasures. I must say I was pleasantly surprised that Wonder Woman got the stellar reviews DCU finally deserves. With all the hype of a female directing a big-budget superhero film to the first female superhero hitting the big screen after a very long time, is it worth all these? Wonder Woman does deliver a solid blockbuster entertainment. On top of that, director Patty Jenkins adds in an intriguing layer of character depth to Wonder Woman so that the film does not only feel superficial. The story: As an origin story...
