Blue Beetle - Extraterrestrial Blast! (FILM REVIEW)

The ROAD to the DCU (dc's new cinematic universe) STARTS HERE!!!! 

So If you are not aware Blue Beetle is the first movie in the long awaited Gunn lead era of Warner Bro's DC universe of cinematic films. Xolo Mariduena stars in the leading role as Jaime Reyes and this is directed by Angel Manuel Soto. Jaime Reyes suddenly finds himself in possession of an ancient relic of alien biotechnology called the Scarab. When the Scarab chooses Jaime to be its symbiotic host, he's bestowed with an incredible suit of armour that's capable of extraordinary and unpredictable powers, forever changing his destiny as he becomes the superhero Blue Beetle.

I thought BB was bloody brilliant, I want more, and I also want to see it again!

Jaíme played by Xolo was absolutely incredible just as I imagined. He was perfectly cast. This film is a great start to the new DC universe of films. The Uncle and Nana were so funny. The villains were a bit meh, but I did like Carapax once we got into his story he was more interesting than the Evil CEO Kord lady. 

The fighting scenes were awesome! Music and lighting was so cool and synth-wavey and for me that's always loved. Heart, humour and inspiring superhero film. 

There's two after credits and the first is so interesting yet the second is uh weird to say the least, and you don't have to stay for that unless you want to show your love or want to see some more Latino representation. The Latino representations in this film I felt were on point and great to see for a change.

8.5/10

A good time no energy drinks needed. 

I was hooked all through the film and I very much enjoyed.

Please go see this film and do not sleep on it!

Top 10 Guardians Of The Galaxy Songs!

And now for something completely different, I am going to attempt to list THE TOP 10 BEST SONGS FROM ALL THE GUARDIANS FILMS!

10: Since You Been Gone - Rainbow

Alright let's start off the list with a banger!

9: Come A Little Bit Closer - Jay & The Americans

Get your arrows ready because it's time to whistle!

8: Lake Shore Drive - Aliotta Haynes Jeremiah

One of my fave songs I have discovered thanks to Gunn and the Guardians. 

7: No Sleep Till Brooklyn - Beastie Boys

No sleep til we get revenge on behalf of our beloved Raccoon!

6: Crazy On You - Heart

Uh oh. here comes Adam Warlock.

5: O-o-oh Child - The Five Stairsteps

I'm distracting you, ya big turd blossom!

4: Guardians Inferno - The Sneepers & David Hasselhoff

I wanted to include this so badly so I hope you don't mind.

3: Mr. Blue Sky - Electric Light Orchestra

OK so we are at number 3 and here is a personal fave song and from the opening title sequence it's ELO's Mr Blue Sky.

2: Hooked On A Feeling - Blue Swede

Probably one of the biggest most infectious songs to come from GOTG is this hit! 

1: Come And Get Your Love - Redbone

James Gunn said it best, "when I think of the Guardians, Come and get your love plays" it is iconic and synonymous with them. 

What did you think of my list? How many do you like or agree with? Let me know and tweet me or comment any thoughts or ideas for more of my top 10 blogging lists.

Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 3 - MCU's Saving Grace Review

I laughed, I headbanged, I cried, I laughed, I cried, I headbanged and cried again. James Gunn's trilogy of Marvel masterpieces have come to an end. Ladies and Gents this is MCU's saving Grace and this is the end of the perfect trilogy and perfect run of characters the MCU has ever had. James Gunn helped save the mcu, and they should be so thankful and grateful for him.

Basic plot for GOTG3: Still reeling from the loss of Gamora, Peter Quill must rally his team to defend the universe and protect Rocket from the evil twisted villain The High Evolutionary. The team are in a race against time and if the mission is not successful, this will be the end of the Guardians forever.

GOTG3 is a heartbreaking, dramatic story full of heart, laughs and action! The High Evolutionary is the MCU's best villain! He's an evil bastard you detest from his first scene to his last. I see the good in Thanos plans, and he may have taken the most lives in MCU but High Evolutionary is a totally evil, twisted, maniacal bastard compared to any of the rest of the villains in the MCU. Everything in this film was well acted and crafted from its story and actors. Thank you to Gunn and all the cast and crew of all the guardians films for giving us the best films ever. The soundtrack as always for a guardians film, is top tier!

This is the first MCU film I've seen in cinemas since Multiverse Of Madness. It feels like this was the real deal, it felt like a big blockbusting, cinematic piece. All the previous films since Endgame have been lacklustre and boring and drained of the entertainment and heart to me personally. Now it's time for James Gunn to go and save the DC Universe.

My DREAM DCEU MOVIE 10 YEAR PLAN!

OK so here's my fan made 10 year DCEU plan and this post was written before James Gunn scrapped a lot of content and I have made some adjustments since the news broke, and I have expanded it to 10 years instead of my original plan of 5 years. Please enjoy! 😁

DCEU Canon:

Man of steel, suicide squad, batman vs superman, wonder woman, the suicide squad, Aquaman, birds of prey, snyder cut justice league, shazam, Wonder woman 1984, Black Adam

So my listings for the next 10 years if I was in charge would be:

Man Of Steel 2: Metallo

Metallo with Lex Luthor to face off against Superman and after creds to have Superman come to Shazam's aid against Black Adam and this scene appears in SHAZAM 3. After credits 2: Wonder Woman is with Cyborg and Batman talking about plans for a station to watch over the world.

Shazam: Fury of the gods 

As planned BUT End credits will be Black Adam meeting SHAZAM.

Aquaman 2. 

As planned BUT End credits to be Barry and Arthur hanging out when suddenly things start to change around Barry (EZRA) who also changes his face to reveal Grant Gustin (cw theme plays). 

The Flash: Fastest Man Alive

Solo film introducing Barry Allen origins, and he fights a few of his rogues cap cold, heatwave along with a run in with Boomerang from the bank scene in suicide squad. (after creds to introduce Anthony Starr as Reverse Flash Eobard Thawne) Recast Ezra with Grant Gustin or Hughie from The Boys actor.

Constantine: City Of Darkness

Matt Ryan as Constantine. Meet John Constantine an occult detective for hire from Liverpool, Engalnd. This boozy geezer always seems to find himself in trouble or around people or rather demons who are up to no good. He comes to terms with his powers in the film and accepts who he is and what he is capable of after a tragic event occurs in which he was unable to save the life of a little girl. While on the hunt for a powerful demon he meets a formidable foe who quickly becomes an ally to John in Swamp-Thing. John also befriends the rhyming demon Etrigan and the two are forced to take down the powerful demon and to save the city and all the lives within it.  (after credits to include 2. A bar scene with John and Etrigan and introduce Zatana. Second after credits to show the house of mystery.)

Bluebeetle movie. 

As planned BUT end credits to show Cyborg messaging him asking if he'd like to join the League. 

Batman & Robin: Deathstroke

Batman (Affleck) struggles with the wear and tear of being Batman catching up to him and Alfred suggests maybe passing on the mantle because he doesn't want to see his master in any more pain and the fact for years Batman carried so much pain and Vengeance within him. However, since forming the justice league he notes Bruce has had the bright spark back like the days of old when he mentored a young Tim Drake. Bruce is in a rocky relationship with Jessica Grayson (sister of Dick Grayson of the flying Graysons) and Bruce is in public promoting his playboy self to the public eye to promote his companies new renewable energy source, and he's wrestling with himself to tell his GF the reason why he goes missing at night and sleeps during the day. The two have had happy times, but she blames him for missing parties and family gatherings due to "work commitments". This public outing with Bruce and Jessica is crucial as Jessica is going to introduce her family to Bruce for the first time. The Graysons are a family acrobat stunt team. The family do flips and tricks via parkour ways by hand and also do tricks in bikes and jumps and in cars. Ra's Al Ghoul and his gang interrupt the party try to steal the device all while sabotaging the stunt bikes and cars. Dick Grayson catches some ninjas messing with bikes and takes them down, but he doesn't realise It's too late as his family are about to crash and burn. Stephen Amell plays Dick Grayson. He helps Batman take down Ra's and him and Bruce have a rocky relationship and Dick disobeys Batman and resents his teachings and the two come to blows whilst being tricked and trapped in a shipping yard to face Lex Luthors strong arm aka Deathstroke and Batman and Deathstroke have an intense fight as an angry resentful Robin leaves Bruce to his own. Deathstroke starts getting an upper hand, but Robin joins back and the two team up and take down Deathstroke. The two seem to be on good terms, but Dick says he appreciates the help and guidance and mentorship Bruce gave him and for giving Dick a home after his families passing BUT Dick wishes to return to his home and get himself established as a young independent man and crime fighter. Robin returns home and months pass as Batman calls to check in with Dick regarding life and asks him to help solve a case with a riddle and dick reveals to Bruce that Nygma is in Bloodhaven and to not worry because Nightwing is on the case. Dick suits up as Nightwing and movie ends after creds would be 2, First have lex freeing and talking to leto's Joker about a team up. Second show a man screaming crying in the shadows and crawls out only to be dragged back into the shadows with an unnerving growl and piercing yellow serpent like eyes pierce out of the shadows. Killer Croc is coming.

So this would be my plan for the next decade!

What do you think?

Is it good or bad? Would you see these films?

Thanks for reading!
