The Defenders


Good but not great

Sigourney Weaver stars as the big bad. They series pulls the same trick as Luke Cage by having Electra kill off Ms Weaver. Alright but I did not find Electra that interesting- she is basically mute until the penultimate episode . There she gives the ``We are very much alike speech'' to Danny Rand

Danny Rand is better here than in Iron Fist, and having Luke Cage as a father figure works.
I liked how they paired of Luke with Danny, and Jessica with Matt. I also liked how they have Danny Rand just pay the Chinese restaurant.
Kudos on having Daredevil say he can hear neon

I was really upset by the fact that there was no Punisher cameo. I thought they were teasing that

It was good to see Jessica Jones, and Matt Murdoch, and Luke Cage back together. I remain in love with Rosario Dawson. Foggy is cool, and Trish is lovely.
The blonde from Daredevil lets things down. She comes across as a scold

I like the Japanese guy. As well as Madam Woo. The Hispanic/Araby guy with the British accent who is the enemy of Jennifer from iron fist, less so much

Stick is good

Its a solid B plus. Its good but not great, as some posters have pointed out, the music choices are weird. I think the hand fizzle out. I was expecting a punisher moment. I liked it nevertheless

The Guardians of the Galaxy 2


Okay, the film was alright. It is two hours long, there are some nice character moments. It is quite forgettable really.

What I liked...

The things to come/Metropolis style look of the Sovereign planet

Kurt Russell, I want a young Kurt Russell to play me, in a film about my life. I don't look like Kurt Russell but I want people to think I did. I am a big fan of Snake Pliskken

The Ego-Star lord story is a nice spin of the Siren's myth

Nebula, telling Gamora that she wanted a sister, was good. I am not too keen on Karen Gillian's Merican accent though

Drax-`` I have huge turds!''

Michael Rooker playing a hero! Finally!

The Alaskan mining camp world, with the robot sexbots. The sexbots being shown as painfully coldly robotic

The pirates being spaced.( Blown out of the airlock If you have not seen Babylon 5)

 The Michael Hasselhoff cameo was amusing , pretty sure that was ripped from the original footage.

Surprised to see Tango and Cash in the same film

The Zune gag (Zune was the MS challenge to the Ipod. Last mentioned in Family Guy back in the Oughts. )

The Big Lebowski
