Masters Of The Universe - I HAVE THE POWERFUL Film Review!

BEHOLD! THE MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE ARE BACK!!!!

The film follows He-Man (Prince Adam), who was stranded on Earth as a child. Years later he rediscovers the Sword of Power and returns to the world of Eternia, which has fallen under the rule of Skeletor. To save his home, he must embrace his destiny as He-Man.

Honestly, the new He-Man Masters Of The Universe film is brilliant! Absolutely amazing even.

The soundtrack is from Daniel Pemberton and Brian May, I loved it. The synthy over worldly sounds  and choirs, among May's signature Guitar sounds is iconic! There's a part of the track that literally sounds like a western vibes with like galloping in it and that's so good.

Skeletor was brilliant and a scene stealer, Jared Leto finally gets his flowers for an acting role. Nicolas was a great Adam/He-Man. The cast were great. 

Really enjoyable film which has grit, cheese, humour and heavy hitting action!

He-Man has a throne room fight that was awesome and then the final battle was epic. There were punches thrown I could feel echo through me in my seat.

Honestly so good and I'd happily watch it again. Please support this film! There's 3 after credits, so please stick around and also don't let this movie flop, I want more! Travis Knight did a hell of a job.

8/10

Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire FILM REVIEW

Kong: The Hollow Earth

The film heavily follows Kong as he is looking for a place to belong in Hollow Earth. We see Godzilla every now and again and same for the humans. Godzilla awesome as always. Kong well he's great as always too. Interesting dynamics and brilliant big monster fights in this.

So cool to learn Godzilla pink was inspired by Goku.

Music was weird in this film besides the licensed songs. Bernie and Trapper were great comic reliefs. Actually seen this in 3D and it was really good. Also shout-out to Doug (if you know, you know).

I almost cried seeing one Kaiju and I'm not gonna say who but thank god it wasn't spoiled in the trailer. Shame no after credits but we shall see where we go from here. I think we may have Space Godzilla appear or maybe a Destroyah with a twist, when our fave titans return.

OPPENHEIMER - An Atomic Film Review!

Christopher Nolan is back and so is cinema. Nolan's Oppenheimer is truly a masterclass biopic cinematic tale following the true story of J. Robert Oppenheimer as he races against the Nazi's to make the first atomic bomb. Follow Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy) through the spectacle of making the bomb to the heavy reality of its fallout and the consequences it has on mankind.

Cinematic masterpiece. Pure art. This is peak. This is cinema!

Heavy, intellectual, thrilling and enthralling. The first half is the making of the bomb. Second half is dropping the bomb and then seeing its effects. This film contains a great score and star-studded cast. The last half is a political thriller culminating in the harrowing reality of it all. Nolan and all the cast and crew and I mean ALL of them who worked or attributed something to this film need to have a standing ovation and a massive pat on the back for this film. "Now I have become death, destroyer of worlds".

Random Ramblin's 49 - It's Been A While

So here I am early hours of the morning on the 1st of August 2022, wide awake, listening to music. The usual (I guess). I am here trying to figure out how to write this. I been going between two minds for a while about writing another Random Ramblin's (which is a series of blog posts I do here on my blog which operate sorta like diary entries and place I go to share news and my mind and rant about.)

There's so much that has happened since my last entry, honestly. It's been a hell of a life, is what I have been saying as I have gone through a lot mentally and even physically these past few months to well, almost a year actually.

When was the last time I did a RR? *goes to look up last entry* Ah yes.....September 2021 and it's now.....August 2022. Wow! Time sure does fly! Anyway *Thinks to himself "what the hell do I write about? why am I doing this? why am I talking in my head and also writing this down?" SIGHS* 

Well without further ado, THIS....IS.......

RANDOM RAMBLIN'S!!!!

Alright, alright, alright. First off,

HOW ARE YOU?!

I hope you are well!

LIFE

How am I? Oh well thanks for asking, at the moment I am tired and in a lot of back pain from my new job. Oh yes! I have a new job well this is another another new job. Yes I quit my previous employer the cinema back in April. Also back in April my GF broke up with me but to be honest it looks like she left me for someone else, BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT I digress and this is just from MY VIEW after all and with all due respect, I won't say anything more on this matter. I do miss that Cinema job I'd be lying if I said otherwise.

ANYWAY I quit my Cwtchy cinema job to go work in a care home and It was great BUT I have/had a lot of unsolved trauma and I had so many memories pour back into me with dealing with Dementia residents because of my Nan who I sadly lost 2 years ago. The care home job was not for me at this time being sadly. In the months of May - July, I did not sign on to the Dole as it were and rather I was applying for work and having 2 interviews a week and eventually I landed the job I am in now and you know what, It's hard work right BUT I am liking it. What's my new role? Well I work as a Bartender in a restaurant and it's not as easy as it sounds or looks chief but hey I am enjoying it on most days. 

The past 5 months or so have definitely been a rebuild period for myself. Mentally and physically. It's tough and goes to show a lot of shit catches up to you and ruins you. I'm still on the mend from a lot of mental and physical issues but by taking the right steps daily and recognising when you need help and treatment is important and getting it is even more important and significant. I need to correct my posture and weight more really. I'm a work in progress and I always will be. Destroying bad habits and old habits takes time and a lot of energy and effort and consciousness (let's be fair) to make it all work and run smoothly. So just be aware of what's going on with yourself in your mind and body and try and sort any issues to save yourself in the future. Cheers for reading this bit of ramblin hehe. 😊👍

Unrelated but I have been watching a lot of Bill Burr stand up and Paul Smith stand up. 

Both fantastic comedians and I recommend giving them a nose. 

Wrestling

What a mad few months it has been for the wrestling world. Vince is gone from WWE and HHH is in charge due to the allegations against Vince making him retire from his duties with WWE.

In September WWE has their biggest PPV taking place in Cardiff, Wales and OF COURSE I AM GOING!!!!!

Film & Tv

Shocking and sad news with TV and Film land as Warner Bros have cancelled many films and TV shows including the Scoob sequel and the Batgirl film.

Dragonball Super: Superhero has released and it's incredible and so awesome!

Cw has called time on The Flash with season 9 being the last season and its also the shortest season as its been issued for only 13 episodes.

Gaming

Fortnite X Dragonball Super collab is probably Fort's best collab ever made, it is hella fun!

Music & Gigs

Machine Head, Slipknot and Five Finger Death Punch all got new album is out soon. (as of writing they are due to be released end of August and into September)

I am also seeing Machine Head and Amon Amarth in September!

Also seeing Corey Taylor in October!

Might see Three Days Grace in September but unsure yet it as it depends on my schedule and income.

Anyway that's all I got time for this week Basil haha.

Check me out on youtube & tiktok if you are bored or in need of a laugh.

If you need someone to talk to please give me a message anytime too!

Be well and be safe people!

Demon Slayer: Mugen Train - Film Review - Thrill ride!

This film kicks off where Season 1 ended, Tanjiro and the group have completed their rehabilitation training at the Butterfly Mansion, and they arrive to their next mission on the Mugen Train, where over 40 people have disappeared in a very short period of time. Tanjiro and Nezuko, along with Zenitsu and Inosuke, join one of the most powerful swordsmen within the Demon Slayer Corps, Flame Hashira Kyojuro Rengoku, to face the demon aboard the Mugen Train. 

The 45 mins I would say felt like an elongated episode so it's what fans can expect from the animation and humour, set up, characters, music so on but then the rest of the film and even some moments in the first half just stand out completely in the beautiful scenery and fluid action shots and animation that demon slayer has inside its self to become a rising household megastar in the making. The animation, action, music, score, voice acting is all just a pure 10/10. 

There is one thing missing which fans have come to know and love and which has also made this demonic anime stand out and that's the villains or rather demons and their sympathetic backstories but hey maybe some villains are just evil and have no stories for why they are how they are and just because they chose to be and that is what we will learn and that is fine, not all evil can be sympathetically explain perhaps is my rational thinking here. Despite that one little loss of sympathetic villainy backgrounds, we do have great touching and emotional moments still. From start to end it's a thrilling ride aboard this demonic train with almost everything fans here have come to know and love from Demon Slayer! 

I was only introduced to this amazing anime series, quite recently and wow is all I can say, because this series is amazing! 

Seriously, do yourself a favour and boot it up on netflix and enjoy the series!

Anime returns to the big screen here in the UK with a HUGE BANG!

9/10

Logan - A Slashing Review

Well that was Logan. The story of the animal outcast to the last warrior. 

Hello i'm Scott aka 1stmetalgod the owner of this blog page (1stmetalBLOG) welcome to the blog and welcome to reading my review and thoughts on Logan! 

For the record i rarely do reviews but i felt like this one deserved it.

So i went to see Logan 10/3/2017 at 9:15pm in my local cinema there was no fuss with ques and surprisingly when i got in the screening there was no trailers or adverts shown as the film quite simply booted up, which was weird but awesome at the same time.

Below are my full thoughts and they do contain spoilers so be warned to read with care and to bookmark this page and return to it after you have seen the movie.  

****************************THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS!************************

Logan was all about family which I felt the Xmen films have been lacking overall but you know I have still enjoyed them for the most part. Xmen 1 was good. X2 was really good. Xmen Last Stand was ok. Origins Wolverine was bad. First class was great. The wolverine was bad i thought. Day's of future past was great. Deadpool was excellent. Apocalypse was good. Logan finally was great. That's been all the Xmen films to this point in time of posting and my thoughts on them anyway. 

The first class films will continue as it's been confirmed.

Hugh has done a steller performance for the past 17 years. The only disappointment of him being Wolvie has been the missing classic outfit everyone wanted to see.

Is this the last of Patrick's portrayal of Xavier? Maybe but we still have Mcavoy. 

Do not think this will be the last we see of the wolverine as fox makes a lot of its money off him so expect a return from him in the future but don't expect to see Hugh in the claws. Obviously it's also not the last of Xavier either and i do wish to see Laura come back. 

First half of Logan was spoiled a lot of the time from footage being paraded around in tv spots and trailers. 

Second half was touching and where the whole family stuff really played on which was nice but it was really slow.

Final half was the last stand. Sad but everyone knew it was coming i thought the payoff could have been better but i teared up but no tears fell so suck it. 

X24 oh no i mean Lieve as Sabertooth in Xmen origins

When X-24 came i immedatly thought "Well I guess they could not get Liev Schriber back to play Sabertooth so they got Jackman to play him?" 

The villains were disappointing. The Wolverine trilogy has always had underwhelming big bad guys, but this one really feels uninspired. I also don't think it should have been so bleak either.

I also don't like how vague it was. I was there like "WHERE ARE THE XMEN AND BROTHERHOOD WHAT HAPPENED? HOW DID THEY DIE? TELL ME! WHERE ARE THEY!?" Yes i turn into Nolan's Batman trying to be a detective just asking instead of looking for answers. 

When the kids showed up in the third act i could not help but to think "Is this the Goonies now?" but my god those kids have some badass powers and kills.

Since Laura/X23 came to the scene i was waiting on edge for her to open up and speak heck a part of me was like "what if she's mute in this?" i was dying to hear her talk.

Should Laura X23 return in wolvie costume or the classic all black costume? Should she return at all?

It was a shame and waste of time waiting for a after credits....THERE WAS NONE!

Thank god the violence and language was allowed also and we have one Canadian mouthy merc to thank for that. Oh and the Deadpool 2 teaser did not play before the movie started for me but i did see the teaser online.

Quote of the film: "Eff Off Logan!" (Only because it was a funny unexpected scene)

Scene of the film: Any action scene...so much gore!

To sum Logan up in a word I'd say Gruesome.

To sum Logan up in a sentence i'd say "Logan is gruesome, slow and touching."

Logan has flaws but is also a really good film overall for which i'd rank it an 8/10.
