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.

Timeline by Micheal crichton

Michael Crichton along with Arthur Hailey is my favorite author. It gives immense thrill to read their books and their storylines are full of insights on the industry or genre or the institution about which the premise may be based, almost like reading a subject matter book but interestingly written in simple language which can be followed by laymen. I remember reading this book sometime around my college first year or may be bit earlier around that time. It was obviously a hard copy and was shared with me by a school mate of mine, who was also the one who introduced me to Asimov. He gave me "Prelude to Foundation" that i read for almost an year. "Timeline" was intriguing and kept me interested sheerly by its concept of time travel and i was smitten by the thought process when i read it first. This time, co-incidentally, i was also watching the movie based on the same story in parallel and somehow both the book and the adaptation were disappointing! I can understand...

Rookie - web series review

Despite this coming up on the "Next to watch" timeline, i kept skipping it for no reason. When i felt really bored last week, started watching it and after a slight binge watch, i am into season 4 in no time!!! Not that it is that interesting or racy for that matter. But there is something earthy and grounded about the whole premise which keeps you entertained!! The story is about a real time oldie who joins the LAPD as a Rookie cop, having only a decade or so for his retirement. How he comes up in grade and his team's exploits form the storyline so far. The way they've set the storyline, it makes Los Angeles seems to be the bed rock of criminals and illegal activity!! Every episode has at least one gun fight or a drug bust or a kidnapping or murder!! Of course, with the premise being based on police activities, you can't show anything else. It is like having a drama series on doctors and complaining that all episodes deals with diseases and death!! I agree! But c...

Sambhavam : Adhyaayam onnu - movie review

Kudos to Malluwood for having owned the sci-fi and other fantasy genres from Hollywood. They've managed to create hits on the most difficult genres to succeed in India. Be it Minnal Murali or Lokah chapter 1 and several other horror/thriller genres as well, Malayalam story writers have aced the art of coming up with mind boggling scripts rivalling their Hollywood counterparts. Even for those that are lift offs from Japanese Korean movies, when the same is available for every other director, the best work comes from their industry and credit should be given where its due. I am not sure if this movie is an inspiration from any other European/Asian or American version, but the presentation, picturisation everything keeps you spell bound and is quite engaging as well. Storywise, it is about time loop concept, possibly the most interesting yet potentially confusing of plot lines. A police officer gets transferred from city to a remote village. He sees an accident on his way to the stati...
