Review: "Avengers: Endgame IMAX movie review" (181 minutes)

This is surely the most anticipated movie this year. This is a non-spoiler review so it won't be very long. The ultimate question is: Is the conclusion worth the wait? Those who have invested 10 over years on every Marvel movie should have no doubts watching this on big screen. I personally find Endgame a little disappointing as it felt safer compared to the brutal Infinity War.

The story: It is a direct sequel. And that's all a reader should know. There are some surprises along the way and it ends in a satisfying way. Audience should know that it is a 3 hours movie so they SHOULD NOT expect an action-packed thrill ride like what Infinity War is. It takes its time with characters and therefore it is reasonable to call it an action drama that delivers an emotional and nostalgic ride. Although it does feel a bit long, I found it consistently engaging. Music by Alan Silvestri is a bit lacking compared to Infinity War.

IMAX 3D: For a 3 hours movie, it is surprisingly not as tiring as it sounded to be. The 3D effects have a strong depth that brings the action closer to your eyes. The effects are not gimmicky as they feel natural. Aside from some amazing scenery shots, nothing particularly stands out.

Overall: This will definitely destroy the box office for a while. It is clear that Marvel is heading to a new and promising direction and it is something I can't wait. While the previous phases are great, I will like to see other superheroes being adapted. With the 20 over movies, it is clear that Marvel will be dominating the superheroes movie for a long time.

Rating: 3.6/5 Review: "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D season 2 TV review" Season 2 has improved greatly. Starting straight from the massive cliffhanger in season 1, season 2 is more tense, action-packed, darker and better paced. I think season 1 took its time to introduce its characters before diving into the action. The time is spread out to individual characters' development. More twists and turns make the season a stark improvement. Episode 1-22: Skye has discovered her powers and is learning how to cope with it. Meanwhile, the team has its problems. Coulson seems to be hiding secrets. In fact, everybody has secrets. More powers are unleashed. It is a little surprising that Marvel is bold enough to veer the series to a darker tone by amping up the number of deaths and more violence. The whole season has little humour and moves at a brisk pace without really pausing. As the tension between human and superhuman increases by each episode, it is an exciting season that w

Rating: 4/5 Review: "The Hobbit: An unexpected Journey 3D movie review" This is the highly anticipated prequel to The Lords of the Ring movies. As a stand alone movie, it does pretty well to engage audiences with its great special effects and fantasy creatures. I cannot compare this with the first trilogy as I can hardly remember it although I will catch it later. But as it seems, this is more lighter than the serious first trilogy. Sure this has its fair share of intense battles but this is more light-heart. The story: With a runtime of 2 hours and 49 minutes, you can be sure that this will take its sweet time to get the adventure going which is true. After a brief action-packed introduction, the movie moves slower. The first half and hour sees a hobbit's unwillingness to go for an adventure as the other dwarves plan to steal their treasures and take what is rightfully theirs. After the hobbit agrees, the fantasy adventure starts and following it are dangers.

Rating: 4.1/5 Review: "Transformers: Age of Extinction movie review" Michael Bay is back for the forth time in the soon tired franchise. To be honest, I like Michael Bay and enjoyed all of his Transformers movies. But seeing him return to the franchise made me weary. Three times the explosions is enough and yet a forth explosion happens. The good news for this is that it still has fantastic action, explosions, CGI and on top, it has fresh characters to carry the weight. The not so good news is that it has amazingly the longest runtime in the franchise which drags down the whole movie. The story: Michael Bay wanted to start afresh with this. It is clear with the different title font, a fresh set of new characters, less humour and even a different theme song by Imagine Dragons. However these are all that have changed. Michael's extended explosive noisy action, stereotype characters and others still stay the same. The formula of the story is almost like the last thr
