‘Avengers: Endgame’ is the end of a saga that set into motion the rise of geekdom into the mainstream avenue. There will never be the likes of it again, all the bets that Kevin Feige and team took have paid off and now it’s time to rest.
Until ‘Far Home’, at least.
-
While Ready Player One will probably never be called a Spielberg classic, watch this movie for the classic feeling that only Spielberg can provide: the simple joy of being swept away at the movies.
-
After a steady stream of underwhelming sequels over the last couple of years, it looks like Pixar is ready to get back on track, and emerge stronger than ever. If you do one thing this weekend treat your heart, soul and eyes to Coco. You won’t regret it.
-
To summarise, treat yourself this week with a trip to 2049. You may return with more questions than before you went in, but at least it’ll make you think.
-
With little going on to redeem this Bond-riffing spy sequel (unless you’re an Elton John fan), we recommend a re-watch of the first film, instead.
-
Spider-Man: Homecoming stands to go down in history as the movie that did right by one of the most iconic characters to ever have been created, super-hero fatigue be damned.
-
What Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 ultimately is all about is family and the central human yearning to find its tribe. And while other superheroes may be busy saving the world and smashing buildings and entire planets to the ground, the guardians are just trying to find themselves and where they belong, saving the world along the way. And if you think about it, aren’t we all?
-
All in all, a more than interesting attempt at creating a character driven reboot that talks well, both, to newcomers and old fans, Power Rangers is a must-watch this weekend.
-
Apart from the final denouement, a thrilling, bold risk taken by director Daniel Espinosa and writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick (most famous for last year’s Deadpool), Life dies a quiet death for its lazy writing and an uninspired plot.
-
Watch this movie if you’re ready to endure creepy-crawlies fight each other repeatedly against a scenic backdrop for two hours.
