 patience, I'm just trying to prepare for the multitude of roles I'm going to be attempting today in Zack Snyder's Mastercraft Justice League. Look I've been glancing through this script and there's enough meat on these bones I think to justify two films or at least one four-hour film, right? Hopefully the studio doesn't get involved and turn this into some two-hour shit show. That would be terrible. I know you passed me up the last time for Superman and went with Henry Cavill because I guess he's bigger than me and better looking and can act and is likable but hear me out. I don't care I'm gonna try anyways so we're gonna start with me just yelling because I died by doomsday alright and you can take this yell and you can just kind of extend it through what feels like 20 minutes of film at least on paper that's what it sounds like. I'm sorry there was there was something behind that let me try this again much worse. Cal-L! No! Humor me for a second with Wonder Woman I'm gonna try out for her I know I can't beat Gal Gadot whatever her acting is supreme but but I do have an idea for the film at least for post-production and I really think you should go for this I want you to go full-blown into this anytime we see Diana Princess Diana on screen Wonder Woman whoever I want her warrior Amazonian music playing full tilt I don't give a shit if she's drinking a cup of coffee walking a flight of steps saying hi to her mom on the phone I want her music in the background eclectic yelling some sort of gladiator-esque theme just really vibing dude over there blood against the wall kids all watching kids watching everything that's happening they're watching watching everything kid kid I want to be just like you when I grow up a murderer yes now I better maintain my speed in this busy downtown area sesame seed I love dogs quirky side comment huh while I'm running as flash if I get the roll which I think I'm an absolutely nail could you play like the weirdest song ever on in the background that's a personal request if you want to run away with me I know a galaxy and I can take you for a ride I had a premonition that we fell into a rhythm where the music don't stop for life glitter in the sky glitter in my eyes shining just the way I like twiddling just walking with our dog perfect time you want me I want you baby my sugar boo I'm levitating the Milky Way is liberating yeah yeah yeah yeah I got you moonlight you're my starlight I need you I'm levitating do this for you I will stride across their bones and bask in the glory of anti-life and all existence shall be mine the fuck is anti-life there is six not five there is no us without him now get your ass out to the cemetery dig up his corpse let's mother boxes bitch back to life where's Martha hey papa it's me Barry Allen funny talking this way while I'm reversing time in the super weird run that I deal I don't care how many demons he's fought in how many hells he's never fought us not us united he's never fought the league not the Justice League I added that last part feel free feel free to use it hello governor I'm Mara Aquaman we need to stop Steppenwolf and save these mother boxes oi but if you want the Batman here's something that can help you his name is Bruce Wayne isn't that right Batman acting now how many dead eyes can you look into before you die yourself I've been dead inside a long time does this duster make me look cool and my bat suit in the middle of fucking desert why am I still dressed up as Batman who am I fooling at this point I could just look like an idiot you're not gonna kill me I'm your best friend besides who's gonna give you a reach around hmm I'm pondering this right the script makes it seem like Batman is at least humoring this proposal you need me to help you fix this world that you created my light in her die poor Lois oh she's offered so so as usual I'll be the bigger man a truce Bruce you know it's funny when you talk about people who died in my arms because when I held Harley Quinn and she was bleeding and like shit was falling all over my arms like blood and guts and like like innards and stuff she begged me with her last dying breath that when I kill you and make no mistake I will fucking kill you that I do it slowly because I'm Batman I kill everyone alright I'm going for the classic Batman always has guns always killing things so battering through the aliens head blood my sword camera spins around as an up skirt tastefully I wonder woman spins around you happen By ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba Oops the sword back to her she grabs it and then Lands way down at the bottom With the sword in her hand instead of on the ground So she doesn't have to she doesn't have to do this It saves like a second of time it's This is a scene to keep in for sure all right. I think I gave you a lot to work with I know I barely just scratched the surface on this script, but They're coming to take off. I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna make like a Martian manhunter and and Walk away without doing anything What am I doing? I'm being the briefcase that Wonder Woman throws up into the air I think it has more screen time than Lois Lane, so it's a roll. I'm gonna go for it. Yeah, I Didn't get any of the rolls I understand Whoosh kid right there what so dumb Welcome to oh my god Welcome to the welcome to Adam does movies live really seamlessly transition from that didn't we? It's Friday. I'm feeling it. I'm looking at the wrong camera We have a little bit of a different angle tonight because we're gonna be doing a live taping. Those are always a fun time They're always a complete shit show, but it gives you an insight into how I record the show how I you know Have to edit around all my screw-ups like the one at the beginning of this, you know at the stream I would have cut that out. I would have said yeah, we'll get rid of that. We'll try again. Well This is fun because we get to do this together as a team. I'm gonna be talking about three movies tonight We have elemental We have the flash and we have the blackening these are all spoiler-free reviews Not gonna even give you a tiny little taste of what's in these films as far as spoilers go Even though you can find them plenty on the internet because people are the worst and They want certain movies to fail because their butthurt That their version didn't get to the big screen or something I don't know like they have all their head cannon and they're mad when something doesn't go their way So they spoil it for others and that sucks as movie fans as a movie fan. I like to go in surprised every time Someone in the chat usually I don't address them, but we're just starting out. So I'll say hi. Hello. How are you? Iron pack fan says Adam. I bought one of the strong female lead t-shirts From your store and it just came in the mail today That's fantastic and honestly It's about time that you did that Yeah, you can pick one of these bad boys up at the shop on teespring.

There's links around my wife says I have to Get more merch up there and I have to update some stuff and do a lot of things and she's really good at Telling me what I have to do It's really good to tell me what I have to do And I really think we should celebrate hold up our glass if you have one today. I'm not actually drinking coca-cola classic Hello, Jan. I'm drinking ANW root beer now a little controversial because you'll notice there are floating gems inside of here These are ice cubes a lot of people do not put ice in their root beer. I put ice in every liquid That's not milk pretty much. I Like my I like my soda on the rocks. Okay, sue me But oh as I was saying I like to hold one up for my wife. It is her birthday today She said Adam do the stream still because I don't want to have to go back to work Lindsay's been home for a couple years now not having to work.

I like seeing her happy I like seeing her full of spirit and sunshine and we want to continue that going forward So happy birthday Lindsay. Thank you for letting me do this our stream tonight Even though I wasn't planning on doing it and now I have to go off the cuff, which is always a fun time But yeah, she she's uh, she's a year older and wiser and Super chats are always the name of the game. So if you feel like giving a birthday donation to keep Lindsay home We'll put it in the Lindsay home fund. Okay. We'll put it in the Lindsay rainy day fund mmm That's good. That's good rip year Another birthday is actually being celebrated today as well That's the birthday of this channel. I Don't know what birthday it is to be honest with you 11 years 12 years. It doesn't matter YouTube. Let me know though In the admin area. They're like, hey, it's your birthday Good job, Adam keep going You'll get there eventually We're are we glitching again? I just saw a glitch It might have been because I was moving too fast and too furious. That's gonna be a problem, but One issue at a time It's this camera. I might have to go back to the other one I was using this other shitty logitech 1080p cam This one's the 4k version, but I've had nothing but issues with it. Maybe I got a lemon I mean, it's just plugged in. I don't know what else I can do I'm not a tech guy But yeah, it's the birthday of the channel the birthing of the channel was 12 or so years ago and we are about to hit 70,000 subscribers and by about I mean we could be two weeks away from it still but I would love to get there It's been a dream of mine. It's been a goal to get to 70,000 since last year This year the goal was a hundred thousand I still think it's possible to be honest with you because subs have been coming in a lot quicker lately a Lot of a lot of support people are sharing the show more the YouTube shorts are really helping things out So we're gonna keep doing those as well But yes, thank you for the support and please pass it around tell your mom tell your dad tell your neighbor down the street Hey, there's this guy on YouTube He tells it how it is. He gives honest opinions and on movies. I don't always agree with him In fact, I'd say 50% of the time I disagree with him, but at least I know he's being genuine with his opinions And that's something that's sadly Positive on the internet these days finding people that are genuine and yes, there's always a sales pitch at the end of the day whether it's becoming a patreon at patreon.com slash adam does movies or You know, whatever there's always something right, but We can we can have fun with it and still be genuine in our approach We don't have to you know Own the libs or own the right or do any of this like weird bizarre stuff to grandstand. Let's just talk about movies Let's just talk about the movies. Jan with a five dollar powerful super chat Happy birthday to your wife. She's awesome. Hope she has a wonderful day and happy birthday to the channel as well Thank you, Jan. I will pass that on for sure Rob says I'm telling my friends that adam is roger ebert That is a compliment. I wish I could take in stride, but roger ebert was Was a gentleman and a scholar I I can't compare Can't compare But I appreciate it Okay, should we get this on the road? Should we get going since this is live taping? I do have to hit record and record the audio separately. There's two cameras at play right now We have this one and then we have the one underneath That's the one that I'm going to be looking at for the the sake of the review It's going to be choppy But we're going to try to do this in under an hour because I still want to get back hang out with my wife some more We might watch cats tonight or something terrible might have some fun with it Since oh that by the way, that's the last thing Cats is a patreon request by my buddy matt We became friends. Thanks to this channel I bet I feel like I've become friends with a lot of people that I haven't seen personally Which is a bummer, but maybe someday we'll meet up Um, I've actually met matt he lives in south carolina. He drives up once in a while. We taken a movie Last time he actually tagged along with me to get groceries. That was a real treat for him. I'm sure but It's nice to just have like-minded movie buffs You know around the around the corner And now I'm talking to the wrong camera We've already started Oh my gosh. Yeah, so he recommended cats Okay Let's bring up the Elemental poster just so you have something to look at while I talk about this once this Shit show of a review is done. I will have to edit in video clips and cut all the bad stuff out But for now we're gonna we're gonna work through this at the same time Let me bring up the imdb page. So I know what I'm talking about Oh and matt's in the chat. That's beautiful. You love to see it Fun fact I swear the last preamble fun fact. I went to three movies in one day Yesterday, I'm tired af. I got to bed at two this morning And then I had surf lessons this morning Then we did birthday stuff and now here we are so I'm I'm a tired panda, but we're gonna push through this We're gonna make it fun. We're gonna make it. We're gonna make it right Okay, elemental follows ember and wade in a city where fire, water, land and air resides together This one surprised me folks Oh and by the way, um as far as the super chats go Feel free to put them in whenever I will read them I will get to them if you have a question if you have a little mini review about one of these movies yourself As long as there's no spoilers. Let's keep it pro I will read it and get back to it. I try to be in the zone while I do the review If I screw anything up Which I often do this is also a nice place to point out my mistake In the comments say like hey adam you you know you tripped over your words there I I don't know if you realized you said something wrong or this actor's name is pronounced this way You know, we do we do what we can All right, I'm gonna hit record on the video I'm going to hit record on Testing the audio. All right, that's picking up Sorry to blow your ears out there What did director peter sando? Oh god Oh, he did voice work. Okay, interesting Huh, all right. Well, there's not much to take from that How should I start? I'm gonna be frank with you and you can be emily if you want or todd or I don't really care what name you call yourself Elemental looked really bad when I saw the trailers Look looked terrible atrocious and pixar lately hasn't been impressing me that much I remember buzz lightyear that movie was atrocious could have been so should have been so much better This is pixar for crying out loud. Anyway that out of the way. I really liked elemental. Let's talk about it Here's the deal. The reason I didn't think elemental looked good based on the trailer was because it presented itself as a very paint by numbers approach a romeo and but A romeo and juliet love affair that we've heard a thousand times before The girl and the boy can't be together. They come from different walks of life. She's fire. He's water. Those elements don't mix But this movie mixes these elements so seamlessly And the story is so cleverly done that it pulls you in to this often generic That it pulls you in to the somewhat generic plot Now there is another plot going on here that isn't really prevalent in the trailer And that's the storyline between the daughter and the father And it's also one that we don't get a lot of in movies anymore. So it was embers our main protagonist here. She's voiced by lia lewis Embers the main protagonist here. She's voiced by lia lewis fantastic voice performance really dug this character She works for her dad in this shop Her dad an immigrant in this elemental world where fire and water and plant and all the different clouds That might be all of them. They all come together and live in perfect harmony Kind of they're also kind of segregated. You don't want fire Messing around with the plant creatures, you know, it's all gonna go up in flames. We can't have that Ember doesn't want to take over her dad's job, but that's exactly what's gonna happen That's the roadmap that's been laid out in front of her. Her dad is her best buddy They get along perfectly So how does she break the guy? How does she how does she make him snap? How does she disappoint her old man? Well, she'll learn of course as this film progresses how to communicate better because she has a hot temper because she's made of fire It makes sense. It just makes sense And the real way to calm And a real way to keep down the flame is to introduce a little water and that little water is wade ripple who is He's the doofus fumbly whiny baby man that she's gonna fall in love with Now I will say upon first meeting wade. I wasn't impressed. I'm like this guy's crying a lot Like he's cried more in this first five minutes of his introduction that I've cried in my life Because I'm a man and then don't cry As the movie progresses with him though, you just realize that water people are that way They express themselves in a much more vivid open matter as opposed to fire Who lets things bottle up before they explode you understanding the puns you understanding all the metaphors and the symbolism It's all there. It's all it's it's all right in your face Like I said, the story works very well Like I said, the story works very well Ember has to balance her home life with this new love life that she's got going on and of course there's gonna be conflict Things are gonna come to a crashing head But it looks amazing trailers again Didn't really do much for me from a visual standpoint either It wasn't until I got into the theater and really took in all the magic going on that I thought oh my god There's so much detail in this film And the way that they play off the elements in such a different And the way the elements are presented in different art styles yet it all kind of seamlessly blends together It's honestly wonderful. Now. I don't think this is top tier Pixar because we do have a pretty formulaic plot I do think it is Pixar though. This is one of the gems This is one of those stories that you get from them where they take characters and individually they grow And they help you understand a thing or two as well anything else to say about this The movie has terrific pacing too. It's a rom-com Lot of comedy some good action Of course, there's heart. You got to have heart. It's Pixar. That's what they do, baby There was one negative a big negative for me at least which was the opening 10 to 15 minutes short Remember those we haven't seen one in a while because a lot of the Pixar movies lately have been going straight to disney plus Which is a huge mistake. I think especially in the case of luke that movie was fantastic Anyway up is the little short ahead of time. We follow the old dude and the dog dog I forgot the old man's name. It doesn't matter. This thing sucked I I couldn't wait for it to be over and it was a really bad introduction to elemental just just sitting here thinking I hope elemental has no I hope that elemental isn't sharing the same quality that this thing is because it's got fart jokes It's got slapstick humor. It just doesn't work And fun fact, it's been a while I think since parents have taken their kids to a film that has a little teaser short thing ahead of time They didn't know what was going on. I had a mom a row in front of me turn to another karen and say Is this the right movie? Is this elemental? They had no idea Because disney just throws it up there. They don't say You know the movie will show after this little short presentation No, it just goes right into this thing You get the castle logo and then boom you're in up world and the mom turns to her and says I think it's just a commercial After 10 minutes the sun turns to his mom and says this is a long commercial and I just sat there like These people don't know anything about movies My own farts It's like i'm starting a fire right now If you're on the fence Disney has Disney has two animated films right now in the theaters the little mermaid If you're on the fence about which one to go to which one to bring your bratty kids to Elemental is the easy pick Support new creative films Even if that new creative film is kind of old hat as far as the story arcs go It's still doing something different little mermaids a pathetic crappy carbon copy of something much better that came before Shove that junk out go to elemental. It's worth your time for sure It's an easy watch for kids too. The kids in the theater were hooked They were all over it even the one that was running up and down the aisle dancing. I see you betsy sit down No one cares. You're not that impressive I can get up and run around like a jackass too betsy No one's named betsy anymore even what a ridiculous name Uh, I got that message in the bottle song in my head by taylor swift I gotta get I gotta get it out of there. Okay If you don't have children is it worth going out and seeing No, probably not unless you go to animated movies all the time that are aimed more at families with kids Then yeah, it is I myself. I'm a big animation dude. I like going to this stuff I'm a big disney fan when it comes to their original content, especially pixar I would have sawed if I didn't have kids if you're like that you'll like that And there you have it. That's elemental a movie that surprised me It was better way better than I thought again, not the greatest pixar movie by any change Again, not the greatest pixar movie not even in their top 10 But even a number 11 or a number 15 on the pixar list is really damn good Let me know in the comments if you saw elemental you can do that by by just What can I do on let me say that again Let me know in the comments if you saw elemental or if you're planning on seeing it It helps me subscribe to the channel if you like what I'm doing here I post tons of movie content each and every week would love to have you stick around and with that I didn't have enough water puns in this and with And after all that I'll simply say see you later because of the water All right, we got one down Did that in 11 minutes interesting Not a lot of not a lot of hiccups Save Elemental review Done and done super chat from bubba 199 elemental versus inside out question mark Inside out is is much better than elemental although. I think elemental is a I guess more fun watch Inside out is just a smarter Far more clever watch. It's definitely experience everyone should have and appreciate but elemental is one of those You throw it on in the background just for entertainment purposes inside out. It's a little too sad for me all the time All the glitch is back It's good now. I think it's when I move around a lot. Let me test it I thought it was a movement thing. I just I just don't know anymore It's so sketchy. I might switch back to the other camera because I really can't handle it. It's pissing me off Let's get to the main course the flash Again, these are spoiler free recording Recording it's a house of cards here. I have a I have the streaming camera on top of the other camera and there's also a foam piece on top That's blocking some of this weird light that's coming down. It's it's house of cards. Kevin spacey Okay, the flash I'm gonna ignore you guys with the glitching issues if if the glitching gets really bad or it's troubling We can switch cameras. I'll take a I'll take two minutes to switch the cameras out. It's really not going to be that painful And that one I know doesn't glitch Next time I'm just going to plan on using the other camera We're just going to go ahead and use a little bit of a downgraded camera. That's okay All right, how do I start this one? When I first heard Ezra Miller was going to be starring a We'll try that again When I first heard Ezra Miller was going to get to star in his Fuck he's a they, isn't he? He does the they thing they them And I don't care. So I'm going to try to be respectful because I just don't care When I first heard Ezra Miller was going to star in the flash movie I first When I first heard Ezra Miller was going to star as the flash in his own film. I fucked it up again God the stupid his they them. I can't do the they them. It's too plural When I first heard the flash was going to get a full movie starring Ezra Miller My first thought was I don't like Ezra Miller And then I saw the trailer months later and thought I still don't really like Ezra Miller as an actor. He's done nothing to impress me But this looks pretty damn good Yeah, I'm not going to worry about it. I said he again. I can't keep up. I just really can't it's just it's baked in at this point But as we all know both Marvel and DC have given some fantastic movie trailers and the final product is anything but that Ant-Man and the Wasp, Quantum Manium, Thor, Thor, Love and Thunder Batman v Superman, Dawn of Justice. Yeah, I said it I said what everybody else is thinking except for the Snyder fans that Hate this movie before even birthed into it. No, no, no, we're gonna go back We're not going to attack the Snyder fans constantly. It's old hat So I went in cautionous cautionously So I went in cautiously optimistic Hoping for the best results and I am happy to tell you this. I saw the movie So that's nothing but we have to go through the intro so that I lead you into this video a little bit more Subscribe. Let's begin. Okay title comes up. Da-da-da-da-da-da-da Hey, remember like 20 seconds earlier along Hey, remember a long time ago like 20 seconds early Hey, remember a long time ago like 20 seconds earlier when I said Ezra Miller has not impressed me in anything He impressed me in this the flash movie. There's not just one but two of them Huh? See what I did? I can't do that. I can't use it. Oh god I'll try taking it from there again Hey, remember a long time ago when I said Ezra Miller hasn't impressed me in anything like 20 seconds earlier when I said it Well, he has now in this the Well, I just ate my own words Because the flash movie has a really good performance by Ezra Miller nine Two good performances by them. Yeah them. There's more than one Because here's the deal because here's the spoiler free break because here's the really quick spoiler free breakdown of the plot The concept the the large overarching thing We have a character who's sad and broken. I know that's every superhero character on the planet earth The flash misses his mommy And his daddy's in prison. He says mommy and daddy. I don't think that's true But I'm saying it for him and he wants to somehow rebuild this fractured family dynamic And the only way to do so is by running really fast and getting sad and Ultimately going so quickly that he breaks the sound barrier and is able to travel backwards through time itself That's crazy And he does it and this leads to a fractured series of timelines that spaghetti's out all over the place It's a complete disaster But he wants to save his mom And along the way he might find some friends or two and along the way He might make some friends or two The way the wig And along the way he might make a couple friends And that's all i'm giving you on the plot. That's it. You can see that in the trailer Everything else we'll say for a spoiler video that i'll probably throw up next week. So again subscribe to the channel. You have nothing to lose It's free. The subscription is absolutely free With four easy installments of 395 You may Now the naysayers may say this and you may have heard some of these things the movie looks like crap The effects are a disaster The CGI is half baked Some of this stuff is very true The CGI for the most part is very serviceable. It's nothing earth shattering I saw a clip from transformers one a movie that's 16 years old off of twitter that looked freaking fantastic I've seen pirates of the caribbean I recently rewatched the pirates of the caribbean franchise and was blown away by how good those movies look The effects in those the cg is state of the art and holds up It holds up far better than ant-man and the wasp quantum shittia Or a lot of this new stuff because they are churn and burn in the animation department. They don't have time The director has since come out from the flash And said that this was an intentional stylistic look while there's big scenes in the while there's Why there are big battles that take place in seemingly empty desert space. It does look surreal I do think there is truth to that But also I don't really care at the same time. Here's the deal. I don't need top of the The effects are the cherry on top And that's the good thing about the flash. It does have a good narrative It has an interesting structure People praised spider-man no way home because of the reintroduction of some of their fan favorites Working together most of that's in the last half hour of the movie. They somehow kind of ignore or just Or just allow The first hour and a half to be kind of dumb the plot of no way home is stupid Peter parker's sad that his friends can't get into college because he's a superhero So he talks to his scientist wizard buddy and convinces him to rewind And he convinces him to what does he convince him to do like and he convinces him to erase their memories of spider-man It's asinine. And of course, he can't shut his mouth. So while dr. Strange is doing the spell Peter's like, hey, dr. Strange mr. Strange Shut up kid. I'm trying to do this. Yeah. Yeah, but I don't want my ma I don't want I don't want aunt may to forget about me. Shut the fuck up kid. I'm trying to Mr. Strange Gonna hate you All right rant aside. I still enjoy spider-man no way home. I don't love it though. Like a lot of people I don't think it's the second coming of spidey. I think it's a solid flick Dumb plot, but the little things are what add up to something truly special It's all about the little moments and the flash is full of little moments But on top of that it's got the the big thing working for it The story itself is something that's easily relatable to people Kid loses his mom. He wants to see her again And ezra miller sells it he's And ezra miller sells it damn good in this movie The fact that there's two different versions that act wildly different because there's the past form and the present They they make for a great dynamic. I would say 99 of the time when they're together It looks like two different people It doesn't feel fake or artificial really good job on the effects work there Where it's shoddy is where we get these big scenes going on bombastic tons of stuff happening But again, I don't care. Like I love the movie kung fu hustle, which I'll be talking about this I love the movie kung fu hustle, which I'll be talking about in this channel soon Just for fun because I watched it with my son recently and love the crap out of it all over again That movie does not have what you would consider great effects as far as realism. It's loony tunes on crack People are flying all over the place. There's bullet time slow motion stuff going on That's what's happening in the flash. It's surreal. It's wild. It's out there and i'm all about it This was a fun ass movie from beginning to end with some great emotions sprinkled throughout Michael Keaton as we know is back as batman. He's all over in the trailers. You have super gold You have super girl in this who is smoking hot to look at That's enough right there for a lot of people and it should be because she's also That's a lot. That's enough for most people right there. But on top of it. She's actually a great character With a little bit of struggle and story of her own mixed in Michael Keaton as batman hasn't missed a beat the guy looks great still Still has a physical presence still has that wit and charm even ben afleck for when even when ben afleck's in it He's even ben afleck is at the top of his game here. He looks fantastic The suit has never looked nicer on him And I just he feels more comfortable in the role at least to me personally The movie is also doing some cool stuff with time time displacement Showing different imagery moving around in and out of focus in and out of different layers There's some really interesting stuff on display here. It's trippy at times I don't see the hate that it's getting. I don't get it. I'm looking for a fun big-ass comic book movie. This absolutely delivers Where a lot of people were turned off with batman v superman because it was so all over the place narratively It was hard to connect with any of these characters. The tone was very dire somber You know just overly gritty and dark That's not that fun to watch You can step back and say good for snider for trying something new and I appreciate him for that and it is a visual feast Snyder makes beautiful movies It's far prettier than this as far as the cinematography goes But the flash is so damn exciting Every minute of this flick. I was I was in Every minute of this flick. I was fully invested wasn't I didn't want it to end There's some campy stuff for sure There is some really great stuff along with it. So it's a mixed bag, but it's a bag that I will absolutely Well, it's a mixed bag But when I will absolutely revisit and hope that we could possibly get more down the road Even though I know this whole thing is getting rebooted by james gun That doesn't mean we can't pull some of the stuff that works over somehow We are in this shit show of a multiverse after all in both the dcu and the mcu. So let's really use it to our advantage Music set pieces sound design sound design is topped here. This is transformers level shit Love it Absolutely love it No notes really no real gripes Good easy watch. Yeah, visually you could have pumped it up for sure. You could add more, you know pixels More detail Things can always be improved things can always be better But I think this is a damn fine movie Solid final little tip of the hat for the dceu one of them I know we still have blue beetle and aquaman too. This should probably have been the last hurrah I don't I don't foresee those getting anywhere near this But let me know maybe I'm dead wrong and you thought this whole thing was a complete train wreck from start to finish It's possible. I don't claim to be the uh, you know the all I don't claim to be the all-knowing expert. I'm a movie fan. I like what I like you like what you like I just hope you have some opinions to back it up I hope you just have some thoughts to back it up and not just say it's trash Because that's not anything. Let me know in the comments below Please like the video if you enjoyed Please like the video if you enjoyed yourself a little bit and if you really enjoyed yourself Go ahead and hit that And if you really enjoyed yourself make like flash and haul ass to that subscribe button because I'd love to have you Stick around I post a lot of movie content each and every week need more bodies need more eyeballs on this thing I'd appreciate it. All right. Take care We did it. Hopefully did I hit record on this stuff? I hope yeah, I did okay Stop file save The flash review Two down one to hoe Hmm. Alrighty. Oh, there's some glitches. I saw the glitch that time It's like wreck it Ralph There's a glitch in this thing that's trying to cause me trouble We have one more review. Unfortunately, this one's not near as um Positive for me. Let's start it You know, I'm old enough to remember a trope that used to go around horror films Where there was always one black dude or black woman in the film that inevitably would die before the film ended oftentimes the first to go That was a that was a thing at one point many many Many years ago, it seems yet in Yet director tim story thinks that in 2023 now is the time To really address this situation this issue that I feel like has been addressed for many years And he's made a film called the blackening Oh, shit. I didn't update. Did I not update either of the posters? Oh, I'm so sorry. That's such a shame This was the flash poster. I Didn't do okay. Well good thing these don't show up on the final These don't show up on the final edit because I do it in a different thing Damn it. Ariana fox says i'm glitching like crazy. Are we still glitching again or Do I change the camera? We have one more review to get through. Do we just push through it fam? Eric, I didn't say every movie. Did I say every horror movie the black person dies or did I say most? Often frequently Okay, glitch is a bit bad And if I did say every that's okay, too. It's it's over the top for a reason roll out On a bot's roll out Well, I am recording so let's keep going. Okay The blackening is about seven or eight best friends who head on vacation to a cabin home Where they're going to play some board games have a good time and probably all die. Let's talk about it This film stars a lot of people I've never heard of one of which is named x mayo Don't know if that's a rapper or if she's related to aquafina. It's it's possible Something it might be a thing Um, they were all good actually. I I didn't mind any of the characters. They're all They're all very up to date on the cultural references a lot of the buzz terms going around one person said take the l like four times it's Here's the problem with this movie. It feels like it was written by a person in college who who learned about um charlton and all that stuff and Really wanted to make her voice or his voice heard. It's really cringy. Okay. These people in the movie don't talk like people talk They're constantly going on these rants or diatribes with each other about who's the blackest and who's acting white and I understand The whitest guy in the room probably not the target audience for this film But I like films of all natures all shapes and sizes and colors and I thought this one looked funny From the trailer that I saw right before going in my wife actually suggested I see it. She said adam the blackening looks really funny. You should check it out. Watch the trailer I was like, yeah, this this could have some legs. Unfortunately. It doesn't really have legs it's got about 20 minutes of a premise And then the rest of it's just kind of there. It's just very tame all the way through it is rated r Uh, I would not suggest, you know, bringing the little ones out to this They say the n word about a million times jango and chained even looked at this movie and was like, wow, that's a bit much That's a bit much So if that if that's kind of a little too much for you right out of the So if that turns you off right out of the gates, there you go tread lightly There's a lot of foul language. That doesn't bother me in the slightest I just was more bothered by the dialogue itself and the way they were constantly preaching at each other and in turn the audience So it breaks down like this. They go to this cabin home. This is spoiler free by the way I'm just going to give you the lay of the land. They go to the cabin home. There's a room in the back That's got a board game that looks like it can't There's a room in the back that's got a board game on a table in the middle This board game is disgusting. It looks like it came out of the gym crow This board this board game is disgusting. It's racist. It looks like Jim Crow's monopoly That's not my quote. That's from the film two different people say it at two different times It was funny once for sure, but the second time I was just thinking so we're reusing so we're reusing jokes now. Okay Yeah, it turns out this nice vacay is it turns out this nice vacay is anything but that there is a Racist psychopath that has invited them to this location in order to kill them. They have to play his game It's like jumanji for racists This stuff kind of worked. Unfortunately, they don't play the game very much at all Whenever they'd pick up a card, there'd be a funny question. They would have to answer it think about it That's stuff. I liked that stuff played out But a lot of the movies unfortunately spent meandering Between some of the relationships some of the tense stuff that didn't even need to be in this film Thankfully, it's only an hour and a half Really, it could have been an hour That's how much material there should have been here Now it's rated r not just for the swearing but also some of the kills the kills are pretty damn tame And I think a lot of it has to do with the well both the uncreative ways that people die and also The way this thing is shot. It doesn't look good. The production values are really bad in this thing And most of it takes place in one central location. They're at this cabin the entire time It's not very interesting to look at Takes place at night. The night stuff is kind of ugly Has that day to night filter on it a lot of times it feels like That's what it seems like. Uh, some of the blues in there and not not working not working at all It also doesn't help that we're not it also doesn't help that the It also doesn't help that the murderer is a mystery and I figured out who it was 20 minutes into the picture. So then I'm just kind of waiting for the rest of them to catch up Not saying you will do the same thing, but it seemed pretty obvious all around This feels like a low budget movie you'd see at a streaming service like hulu or netflix Definitely not a movie I would waste money going out to see in theaters if you're looking for something funny Something cop if you're looking for a funny horror flick I'd watch peter jackson's the frighteners personally that thing's incredibly witty Incredibly creative and definitely off the beaten path If you're looking for a horror film that's predominantly black cast watch nope that movie's awesome Or it I'm not yet. Uh, what was his other one? Us I don't like us as much Yeah, we'll stick with nope. Nope was fine This film is slightly less than mid as the kids say or the people in this film because that the writer knows that the kids say that For the next couple weeks, so they're going to make them say it. That's how this movie feels all around Hey, what's trending right now in the in the buzz terms? Let's throw them all in here Well, what else can we talk about that's socially acceptable and somewhat relevant today? Let's throw it in there. This movie is going to age like ass And it certainly already has as far as the visuals look. Okay. That's my thoughts on whatever this was called the fucking blackening All right, those are my thoughts on the blackening Absolutely. All right. Those are my thoughts on the blackening a decent idea That probably would have been better introduced like a decade back when this seemed a little bit more relevant to today a decent concept that seems probably A decent concept that was probably a little bit more relevant about a decade back when this seemed a little bit more In your face now not so much. There's plenty more representation in the horror industry, especially This just feels like completely useless and pointless. Let me know in the comments though Did you see this? Am I wrong? Is it a great movie? Very very clever very different a spin on the genre I can agree to an extent. I just don't like the execution Let me know like the video if you had some fun Please subscribe if you haven't as I post tons of movie content each and every week. I'd love to have you stick around All right, take care And we are done with that one 10 minutes to get through it. Not bad file save What's this called? the blackening Okay, fam. That's it.
