June 20, 2019 – Toy Story 4. After watching the other three, I may be bias but I very much enjoyed it! There were references to the past and answers to some questions from Toy Story 3. I loved the new characters, the laughs were great, and the story was meaningful. Ohhh there was one reference to Star Wars that I saw in a very quick moment (there could be more but I mean a very specific one. If anyone catches it, let me know XD). Just no to the dummies. No. NO. XD. The story took some interesting turns, and the twists were well done I thought.

MANY mid-credit scenes.

Not an end-credit scene, but a moment at the end that was paid back from earlier in the movie XD. The people left in the theater and I cheered XD.

I wouldn’t need a Toy Story 5, but if it happened, I wouldn’t hate it. But I would rather this be the ending and leave possibilities open forever. Either way, this was a fun movie with laughs and heart and I’m glad they went through with it.

June 13, 2019 – Men In Black: International. Another movie that has been getting bad reviews. I enjoyed it. Maybe I was blinded by just being in the MIB world again, but I don’t care. It was fun, I enjoyed M and H. Some of the story was predictable, but for me at least, it didn’t take away from the movie. There was a certain music choice that didn’t deserve to be there AT ALL. And I was expecting an end scene like the other movies that expanded out. If you know, you know. But other than those two things, it was a good. I definitely want to see more.

No mid-credit scene

No end-credit scene

June 6, 2019 – Another double feature!

Alright y’all. Dark Phoenix. I liked it. It really doesn’t deserve the horrible reviews floating around. It was very different from the classic story. And different from Last Stand. I will say that it doesn’t have the feel of being the send off for all the Fox Marvel movies. It is it’s own entity. I don’t mind that really. It would have taken away from the story. Also, as I’ve said before, it’s difficult to care too much about what happens to characters that have only been around for 1 other movie. The action was cool, the Phoenix Force is interesting. A certain “group” was cool to see because it was from the comic event. I’ll say that Jean does end her story in a more accurate way than was portrayed in Last Stand. All in all, it was an alright movie. I enjoyed it.

As one would expect for a final film in a franchise, NO mid or end-credit scenes.

(Reading this again after a couple years does have me thinking I was a little too lenient on this review, it certainly was more accurate than Last Stand was but it had different faults. Though considering I’m comparing it to the near perfection of how the X-Men animated series depicted the story, I don’t think much could do better. But if the MCU ever gets to this story, even though I don’t think we’ll see this story again for at least 20 years, I think it will be done better than both these movies did.)

Secret Life of Pets 2. I laughed so much. There was a lot going on, but it wasn’t difficult to follow the stories going on. Not much else I can say about that. I will say some stuff. THE TURKEY. Also, it was nice hearing Harrison Ford ^__^ it was a fun film.

There is mid-credit stuff. Though that was released online a while ago, but eh. Still fun.

There isn’t an end-credit scene, but, there is an end-credit sound bite from Harrison Ford’s character.

June 30, 2019 – GODZILLA!!!! I very much enjoyed it! It had a much better ratio of monster to human story. The fights were epic. The big battles were gorgeous. There were a bunch of shots that will make amazing posters. The universe they’re building was present and I loved seeing things spread out across the world. I forgot we’d had two movies in this universe before XD. The ending suggests what the next movie is.

There is NO Mid-credit scene.

There is an end-credit scene. Suggestive of thingssss. Either of why the ending suggests or for something farther down the line.

Definitely enjoyed it. If I decide to see it again, I’m gonna see it at the air & space museum. Because it is of that type of spectacle. This was in IMAX too, but it really deserves a HUGE screen.

May 23, 2019 – Alright. Double the movie tonight.

Firstly: Aladdin. I loved it! It was enough of a mix of callbacks and new ideas to work for me. I mean it still would have made more sense for Jafar to be older. But eh. I enjoyed the music a lot. I definitely was singing a bit, though it is a bit different than the original music. The beat is a bit slower on most songs. But still great. I was content with this live-action Disney movie ^__^

Mid-credit scene is just in the credits straight off from the final scene. But there is no other scene, no end-credit scene.

Secondly: Brightburn. I also enjoyed this movie. The scares were a mix of jump-scares and just horrifying situations. And there is gore. I’ll say that as a little warning. But I really liked this movie. Yeah, it basically is what if Clark Kent went bad very early on. But it’s very different in the way they go about it. It is quite chilling. If I think about times a Superman has gone bad (i.e. Red Sun, Ultraman, the Justice Lords’ Superman etc.), this was very different, not just because it’s the kid going dark. It’s something else.

Funnily enough, regarding credit scenes, it’s the same here. A mid-credit kind-of thing. It intrigued me. There is no end-credit scene.

It was a fun night!!

April 25, 2019 – I’m home. I’m not gonna say a lot about Endgame till Monday maybe? Convention weekend. But wow. Endgame. A decade led to everything that that movie was. Whatever comes next, I’m super ready for it. Oh and duh, I LOVED it.

This is the cup and popcorn tin I got. The tins were the of the founding avengers.

Thank you to Kevin Feige for crafting all this. Thank you for Jon Favreau for starting things off. And thanks to all the actors and film crew and writers for the MCU. The Infinity Saga was magnificent. Onto The last movie of Phase 3 in two months and one week.

April 11, 2019 – Got done with Hellboy. I have to say I enjoyed it. It was fun and funny and fast paced and not too complex. It did miss the heart that the first Hellboy movie had and I enjoyed a lot, but it wasn’t bad. There was gore, it’s monster hunting, of course there would be. I didn’t mind it. When it all starts going crazy, those creatures are so freaky!! You’ll see.

The last scene of the movie hinted at a certain character joining in a potential sequel.

One mid-credit scene. Funny and interesting.

One end-credit scene. Mysterious.

Both hint at potential sequels.

March 23, 2019 – Hello there. Well I thoroughly enjoyed Shazam. XD It was funny and I loved all the characters! The references to the other DC Films were manageable and not over the top. I’m pretty sure the story was similar to the New 52 take on the characters. Sivana was pretty cool, his motivation was very human. I wasn’t surprised by the way things happened in the end, partially because of spoiler toys, but also I would have hoped it would have happened anyway. So that’s pretty cool. It’s a story about family and it’s lovely. The end of the movie, omg XD I wish it could have been him, but whatever, same effect XD

The mid-credits themselves were funny and poked fun at the rest of the DC Characters, focus on the drawings ^__^

One mid-credit scene, important, sets up potential future. Also, was waiting for that since the beginning of the movie since I noticed HIM.

One end-credit scene, it’s funny, I enjoyed it : ).

March 8, 2019 – So. Captain Marvel. Omg. I loved it!! XD the 90’s stuff, awesome, the SHIELD stuff, loved it, references to other MCU, hehehehe, the actual movie and characters in this movie, just wonderful XD. Carol Danvers is a great character. I love the stages we see her at throughout her life. The character development is well done. They were right, Fury and Carol as pals was just fun as hell XD. Goose (though I still think they should have kept the name as Chewie). And the slight changes to her origin and basic story were manageable. The way things turned out was a bit surprising but pretty decent. Can’t wait to see it again through this weekend!!

There is one thing I did not see coming at all. That was cool XD and I guess explains things. Though I mean that’s a lot of years to be working on it! They had it all that time and didn’t make progress? Alright lol.

OH and there is a Stan Lee Cameo in the movie of course and it’s obvious. It’s funny because he’s credited as Stan Lee playing Stan Lee. BUT. There is another tribute to Stan Lee that you’ll notice and it is the best tribute there could be for him. And I wouldn’t mind it happening with the other MCU movies this year.

There is a mid-credit scene and it is everything you want and more. EVERYTHING.

The end-credit scene is just for fun. So stay if you want. Marvel Studios tends to do this now where the important ones are first and the non-important fun one is at the end.

January 17, 2019 – Glass. Wow. I thoroughly enjoyed it! Both expected things and unexpected things happened. It brought together the other two films perfectly. The ending though. I WANT MORE. There is so much potential! And the comic book-ness of it all was nicely done ^^

No mod or post credit scene. But like I said, potential?
