Avengers End game - a review that isn't

By this time, the movie would’ve already become the all-time highest grossing movie, overtaking Avatar. So, review podalaina saami kutham aaidum endra kaaranthinaal..here you go.

The movie starts from where it got left off from previous one – Infinity war, with more people vanishing without trace, the case in point being one of the Avenger family, that turns him into a vigilante/contract bully. As predicted from the trailer, Ant man comes to the rescue, with his suggestion for time travel. Even though Iron man refuses, he finally relents and the micha socha Avenger team, create a machine, travel across times, collects all stones. All with the aim to revert the, life altering gauntlet snap by Thanos, the super villain. That they fail miserably, as Thanos gets to know of the plan and attacks them ruthlessly this time and how they come up trumps over him, with the loss of Iron man and Black widow, forms the rest of the story and climax.

Egapatta logical loop holes and so many questions unanswered. Yet, you cannot deny the fact that, the movie is a pakka masala mass entertainer, more like tamil/hindi blockbusters. It has gut wrenching drama, emotions, humour, mind boggling actions and romance. Perfect potpourri. Considering that every super hero gets his/her fair deal, the screenplay is nothing short of a miracle. Would probably deserve an Oscar for fusing, so many stories into one finale. Also, no one would want to be the editor for these kind of movies. For the very essence, make or break, depends on the final cut from their room. Way too much responsibility and beautifully done. Give that team an Oscar already. With Iron man dead, finally there wouldn’t be any more series for next ten years I guess, unless someone plans to re-start afresh. But RDJ has literally owned that suit and character that it is impossible to believe anyone else will even consider playing that role ever!! Captain America, is glorified to the extent possible that he rivals Thor in his Hammer wielding episode. Pretty sure, the whistles would’ve bought the house down, during that scene. Pakka mass cinema set up at its best.
Hulk looks the odd one out. I felt his characterization, was somewhat confusedly portrayed. May be because, usually it is two people – one the green monster and other the nerdy scientist. With the merged look it didn’t made sense. Star Lord could fit in only so much. Probably another episode in offing on Guardians of Galaxy -3 along with Thor?

Above all, for Comics fans, this movie is a treasure house. For die hard comics fans, nothing could ever satisfy them, unless every strip of comic is made into a movie. For general movie lovers, this is 3 hours of solid entertainment. No wonder, it’s earning the big bucks. Probably, there to stay at the top for a really long while, by the time, they are done playing the movie across the world.

Actually, I am of the view that comic series' should never be made into movies. Used to be an avid comic junkie eons ago. Have devoured Superman, Batman, et al - every super hero of the Justice League. Haven't watched even one of their movies. Something should be left to the print media only.

True thala. Comics give a world of their own. For those who are not for books movie compensates.

Ode to the Nice Guys

This is a tribute to the nice guys. The nice guys that finish last, that never become more than friends, that endure hours of whining and bitching about what assholes guys are, while disproving the very point. This is dedicated to those guys who always provide a shoulder to lean on but restrain themselves to tentative hugs, those guys who hold open doors and give reassuring pats on the back and sit patiently outside the changing room at department stores. This is in honor of the guys that obligingly reiterate how cute/beautiful/smart/funny/sexy their female friends are at the appropriate moment, because they know most girls need that litany of support. This is in honor of the guys with open minds, with laid-back attitudes, with honest concern. This is in honor of the guys who respect a girl's every facet, from her privacy to her theology to her clothing style. This is for the guys who escort their drunk, bewildered female friends back from parties and never take advantage once they...

Hearbeat - season 2 - review

What makes a drama series tick, in OTT, that too in Tamil? The question should've been pretty straight forward and not as difficult as it is for making a successful movie, for drama series are dime a dozen across scores of TV channels and none of them are found wanting for audience. The more the cry the merrier the TRP. In that context, the only challenge that OTT platforms might've had while streaming tamil series must've been to choose the path - either the well trodden and worn out cryathons aligning with Satellite channels or try for something genre specific like how they do across English and other foreign languages. This is where Heartbeat series in Hotstar finds the fine balance between being a soap oppaari (no pun intended) in tv and carving a niche OTT audience.  While the setup might've been familiar one for Hindi audience with so many series happening on hospital based storyline, i guess this is a first for tamil. The first season was more on establishing the...
