This movie is literally the best movie ever. I’m in love and I can watch this over and over again. I’m not trying to be bias because Spider-Man is my favorite superhero, but this movie and the characters were amazing. Spider-Man, Tom Holland, is probably my favorite Spider-Man so far because he makes the movies so much better. There are so many plot twists throughout and especially at the very end of the movie. There are some really cute romantic scenes with Peter Parker and his crush, M.J. and that not only adds another story line besides action, it’s also very cute.

I would rate this movie a 9/10 because I love Spider-Man and this movie just made confirmed it even more. The reason why it’s not a 10 out of 10 is because there was this one part that was confusing. In Infinity War and Endgame, half of the population disappeared because of Thanos, including Spider-Man. In Endgame, all the people reappeared including Spider-Man, but in this movie, it’s been five years and the people who ”blipped,” were five years older. Peter Parker was part of the ”blip,” but he didn’t age, like he didn’t even leave. I’m wondering if he did disappear or not, even though I clearly remember him coming from a portal and walking towards Iron Man… Other than that, the twists and the ending really made me want to watch more. I guess I’ll just have to wait a couple more years for the next one!

ENDGAME

RATED PG-13

FANTASY/ SCIENCE FICTION

MY RATING: 5/5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5.

This movie was three hours long. It was long, but it was worth it. I’m a Marvel fan, but not those kind of fans who are obsessed with each movie. Basically, the Avengers have to end the game and save the people they love. If you watched all three of the Avenger movies, you would know what I’m talking about and Endgame literally wraps up the whole story of the Avengers and the individual stories of each of the characters.

I would rate this movie a 9.5/10 because it included many flashbacks and I thought that was super cool. The structure of the movie allowed parts of the other movies to be included and it was just really cool. As many know, Stan Lee died just before this movie was released so they dedicated the movie to him and that’s really sweet. If you’re a hard Marvel fan, this is a good movie to watch and stay tuned for Spider-man Far from Home!

CAPTAIN MARVEL

RATED PG-13

FANTASY/ SCIENCE FICTION

MY RATING: 4/5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5.

As many know, Captain Marvel is one of the superheroes in Marvel. She was one of the earliest heroes created, but one of the last to be made into a movie. She is a combination of many superheroes; She has the power to breathe in space and underwater with a special helmet, she is super strong, she can shoot fire from her fists, and much more.

I would rate this movie a 7/10 because the movie leaves me confused, but very eager to find out what happens next. I watched Captain Marvel when it came out on March 8, 2019 with some friends. I would say this movie is a bit confusing because of all the different missing pieces, but it was a great laugh and fun movie to watch.

There are many reviews about this film not being the best, but personally I loved this movie. I was surprised that it would be so good, it’s probably on my top list of favorite movies! The story is great and the flow of the overall movie is really well done. I think this film has a great message that is sending the audience, which is not to be isolated from others, but to bring everyone together into a happier place.

I would rate this movie as a 9/10 just because I enjoyed this movie very much and I would re-watch it over again. If you’re looking for an action movie, this is the one.

This was a weird, yet laughable movie to watch. Because I personally love Asher Angel, who plays Billy Batson, I was super stoked to watch the movie. Once I watched it, it wasn’t a disappointment, but it wasn’t a great surprise either. Some of the jokes were pretty funny, but story-line has me and my friends a bit confused. Suddenly people from all over the world enter this lair and a wizard tells them they’re not good enough? There were some moments where I almost fell out of my seat, which kind of made this movie a thriller instead of a sci-fi movie, but I can understand why the movie would be considered a fantasy/ sci-fi. I don’t really like scary movies, but the creepiness was pretty necessary in this film to continue the story. I have to say though, Zachary Levi who played Shazam was a great actor.

This movie is all about getting revenge and proving oneself right. At the same time, a young hero who was miserable in every way, learned to love others and himself. His journey turned him into a hero he never thought he’d be.

I would rate this movie probably a 6/10 because it wasn’t a terrible movie, but the story really could be better. The villain of the story kills a group of innocent people.. and I don’t know. There were some really emotional scenes that you can really feel the sadness within a character, but you’ll have to watch it yourself.
