Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers Review

 

Chip n Dale 

Rescue Rangers 

Review 

So I saw Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers, and here's my review of it...this movie is the Roger Rabbit of this era. By that, it's a good film, and I had a good time with it. The movie has a lot of nostalgia, like making you remember the 90s Disney afternoon series. The film is funny; it has a lot of cameos, even cameos of characters outside of Disney. This film is the closest thing you will get to Roger Rabbit 2 and hell Roger Rabbit is in the movie.  

As well, the animation and live-action work very well together. 

The film's cast all did a great job, like John Mulaney and Andy Samberg as Chip and Dale they do a great job. It's funny hearing them have regular, not high-pitched voices like you usually see in a Chip and Dale cartoon. Kiki Layne was fantastic in the movie; JK Simmons is excellent as always, Will Arnett plays Peter Pan, who is the film's villain, and it's pretty sad seeing a beloved character be turned into a villain. Still, Will did a great job. This whole movie is nostalgia bait, but it's done very well, and I love how Chip pokes fun at the idea oh cartoon performs rap songs when they get rebooted.  

This film was a lot of fun, and I highly recommend this film. 

I give Chip N Dale an 8 out of 10 and B+.

Teen Titans Movie Fan Cast and Ideas

My Teen Titans Movie Fan Cast and Ideas

 

So with the DCEU continuing, it's course, although some issues WB is facing. I thought I might do a Teen Titans Movie Fan Cast and Ideas. 

Now we've grown up with the show Teen Titans. It was a childhood classic until they made Teen Titans Go...Cringe. We also have the Titans show, but this Teen Titans film idea is more light-hearted, a coming of age, and fun film to watch. The film's team will be a more original team instead of a pre-existing team. 

The Team Rooster is Robin/Damian Wayne, Raven, Beast Boy, Blue Beetle, Wonder Girl/Yara Flor, and Static Shock. 

Their mission is to stop Deathstroke and Meta-Human traffickers.  

In truth, it's revealed this is the second Teen Titans as in the film Nightwing will be in the movie, which serves as a mentor in this film as he was the founder of the Teen Titans. He will act like a Professor X-type character. As well other original founding members will appear in the film.

Aidan Gallagher as Damian Wayne/Robin 

Damian Wayne would be the Robin in this film, and he is the son of Ben Affleck's Batman. I don't know what they are doing with Ben's Batman if they kill him off. However, Damian knows who his father is and decides to honor his dad by becoming Robin and vows never to take a life. Damian would be the main POV of this film, and he would see him from the Teen Titans. Like the animated films, he will develop a romance with Raven. He will lead the Teen Titans despite how the group doesn't like him pushing them hard, but Damian has a good heart and tries to be a good leader like his dad was.

Millie Brown as Raven

Raven would be in the film and be a member of the team. Raven is the daughter of Trigon, but she doesn't want to become her father, so she uses her powers to help people. She the typical goth of the team, but deep down has a good heart and looks out for her friends. She has supernatural powers and is often too serious sometimes. She and Damian will develop a romance, but they won't be a couple till much later. 
This Raven also takes inspiration from the tv series too. 

Xolo Maridena as Jamie Reyes/Blue Beetle 

Blue Beetle would be in the film and played Xolo, who plays the character in the Blue Beetle film coming out from HBO Max. Depending on where the movie goes, Blue Beetle joins the team because he needs a team to help fight Deathstroke, who is capturing meta-humans. 

Jaeden Martell as Garfield Logan/Beast Boy

A Titans fan favorite will be in this film, aka Beast Boy. Beast Boy joins the team, and he brings the comedy to the film, and he's kind of the heart of the film. This Beast Boy was part of Doom Patrol, and he is, of course, a vegan. He left Doom Patrol to start his own solo career, but he struggled and decided to join the Teen Titans. 

Caleb McLaughlin as Virgil Hawkins/Static Shock

With the Static Shock movie on the way, I figure I include Static Shock in this film. Static would join the team under request from Blue Beetle because, like Blue Beetle, he's trying to save metahumans. Static Shock's girlfriend Frieda is captured by Deathstroke, who he thinks is a metahuman, but she's not. Static joins the Teen Titans to save her. 

Isabella Merced as Yara Flor/Wonder Girl 

The Wonder Girl in this film is Yara Flor, a new character. I went with her instead of Cassie because I already have an idea for Cassie for another blog. Wonder Girl is the daughter of an amazon named Aella and the River God. Her mother was killed by Metahuman traffickers, but Yara was saved by her aunt Renata and her uncle Brian, an ARGUS agent. She was raised by them and learned more about her heritage, and eventually became Wonder Girl and joined the Teen Titans to stop meta-human traffickers.

Joe Manganiello as Slade Wilson/Deathstroke 

Deathstroke would be the film's main villain because of his history with the Teen Titans. His role in the story is capturing metahumans and training them into weapons of war. Deathstroke would have an epic fight scene with Robin and Nightwing. Nightwing and Deathstroke have been enemies for years, and he's fought the original Teen Titans. 

Dylan O'Brien as Dick Grayson/Nightwing 

Nightwing would be in the film as a mentor to the team. Dick Grayson, aka Nightwing, was one of the founders of the Teen Titans. After the old squad broke up, Dick decides to create a new Teen Titans with Damian. At first, Damian is not so keen on the idea, but Dick assures him it would be good for him to make more friends. As well, Dick wants to make sure that Damian never kills anyone like his grandfather wanted to be. 

Kayla Scodelario as Donna Troy 

Donna Troy would appear as a cameo at the end.

Cameron Monaghan as Wally West/Flash 

Flash would appear in the end as a cameo, and he recommends his cousin Rudy as the Kid Flash of the team.

Logan Lerman as Garth/Tempest 

Garth would appear at the end of the movie, and this film would set up Aqualad in the next film.  

George MacKay as Roy Harper/Red Arrow

Roy Harper would appear at the end of the film, and he will suggest recruiting Oliver Queen's son Connor. 

Victoria Justice as Starfire

Starfire would appear at the film's end and play a more significant role in the next movie. 

10. Take inspiration from best-selling stories.

Now there are many Teen Titans stories to adapt, and taking inspiration from many stories like Teen Titans Year One. New Teen Titians would be the inspiration of this film because this is actually a new Teen Titans team, and these are kids trying to become heroes in their own right. As well, the tv series would play inspiration for the show. 

9. The film would be more light-hearted and fun to watch.

Unlike the Titans show, the movie series is more light-hearted and fun. The film does deal with serious stuff but still keeps that light, just the Teen Titans show. The film would have fun moments, and funny moments too as well. As I wrote, there will be some profound moments in the movie. 

I would also look at Shazam for inspiration because Shazam was a fun movie with profound moments. 

8. In its own universe or separate universe. 

Now the DC universe is a mess, and since Discovery bought out Time Warner, they want to fix some stuff. I mentioned that Damian is the son of Ben Affleck's Batman, but I don't know if that's getting recon because we have Keaton coming to take over. I hope DC will have a sound universe that connects well one day. This film is in the DCEU unless the universe is rebooted again because I'm getting vibes that Warner Discovery will reboot or make some significant changes to the DCEU. Now Robin would still be Batman's son, but it depends on what they do. 

7. Nightwing as a mentor.

Nightwing would play a significant role in the film, serving as a Charles Xavier-type character in this film. Nightwing founded the Teen Titans and decided to reform them but not with his old team as everyone moved on and their too senior to be Teen Titans. So he creates a new section for a new generation of young heroes. The group goes to Dick for advice, and Dick will often help out on the field, especially during the big battle against Deathstroke. 

6. Deathstroke makes the most sense as the first villain the Teen Titans will face.

Deathstroke, like I wrote, has a long history with the Teen Titans, and he would make sense as the first villain off against. Deathstroke is capturing and working with human traffickers to turn metahumans, who are super-powered people, into weapons. I would not include the whole Terra story arc. So sorry, Beast Boy and Terra fans.  

5. The next film will have Brother Blood as the villain. 

Brother Blood will be in the next film. In the movie, he is the Cult of Blood and HIVE leader. As well, he will have the Fearsome Five as henchmen. In the next film, he's attempting to bring back Trigon so he can take over the world. In the next movie, Raven plays a significant role in this film as Brother Blood wants her to help bring back her father. 

The Fearsome Five would be in the next film. The Rooster would be

Psimon

Mammoth

Jinx

Gizmo 

Shimmer 

4. Trigon will be the big last villain the Titans will face off against. 

Trigon will be set up as the Thanos of this film series as he the last significant threat the Teen Titans will face. Trigon is more dangerous than anything the Teen Titans have met, and he wants complete control of the world. Raven's role is that she can bring him back but also has the power to stop him. Trigon is worshipped by Brother Blood and the Cult of Blood as he is their god. He will be one of the most terrifying villains the Teen Titans will face. 

3. We will see new members of the Teen Titans in future films. 

We will see future members in the following films Aqualad, Kid Flash, Conner Hawke, Terra, and Djin. Terra will be in the next movie, and the subsequent film adapts the Judas arc, except there's no Deathstroke in the next film. Kid Flash will be in the next film as well as Aqualad. Terra would play a significant role in the next film and as a love interest for Beast Boy. 
 

2. Damian learning about teamwork, friendship, and becoming a great leader. 

The film is from Damian's point of view as he was trained to be an assassin and a killer like his grandfather Ra's Al Ghul, but instead, his father Batman taught him the opposite. Nightwing takes Damian under his wing and decides to reform the Teen Titans with Damian as their Robin. Damian has a hard time making friends and believes he can do everything on his own until he begins to see he's wrong and needs help from his teammates. Robin and Raven will develop a romance because they understand each other. After all, they didn't have friends at first. As well, Dick acts like a big brother to Damian. 

1. A coming-of-age film. 

The film is about a coming of age where a group of teenage superheroes want to prove themselves that they can be more than just sidekicks. 

Titans GO!!!

So that's my Teen Titans Movie Fan Cast and Ideas. Let me know what you think, leave a comment, and I hope you enjoy it. 

In Memory of George Perez.

His work will live on forever.

Titans GO!

Dr. Strange in the Madness of the Multiverse Review

 

My Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness 

Review.

So I saw Dr. Strange in the Madness of the Multiverse, and here's my review of it...I love it. This is my second favorite film from Phase 4, next to Spiderman No Way Home. This film was fun, very trippy, and one of the scariest Marvel films yet. 

The film was directed by Sam Raimi, who gave us the Spiderman Trilogy,

 and I got to tell ya to those who hated on him for Spiderman 3. Let me tell ya, this film is excellent. 

If you're a big Sam Raimi fan, you will love this film because this film gives you Evil Dead vibes. 

This film explores the multiverse and lets me tell ya, there are some trippy moments in this film. I'm not going to spoil any of it, but I will have spoilers at the end. 

The cast in the film was all fantastic, starting with Dr. Strange himself.

Benedict Cumberbatch did a great job as always as Dr. Strange like he is so cool in the film. One thing I loved about this film is, sidelining Spiderman No Way Home was he wasn't sidelined like in the last Phase 4 movies did to their protagonists. I love that they didn't do that because your main character's sidelining lining is getting annoying.  Dr. Strange was at his best in the film, and I cannot wait to see more in future films because he will be the anchor of the MCU moving forward. 

Elizabeth Olsen as Scarlet Witch was great in it, too, like her character. I'm not going to give too much information, but you will feel for her character in the film, but at the same time, you will dislike her character. When you see what she does, you are going to be shocked.

Xochitl Gomez as America Chavez. She was actually really good in the film. Unlike Katey from Shang Chi, she didn't feel forced, nor she was an annoying co-lead. Instead, I found her cool and likable in the movie. This is a character from the All New All Different Marvel era, and that's an era I wasn't a fan of,  but this version of the character was good, and I really enjoyed Xochitl's performance. Strange and America's relationship is well written, and the two have like a father and daughter relationship. 

Benedict Wong, like always, did a good job playing Wong, and who doesn't love Wong is one of the best characters in the MCU. Wong does some really cool stuff in the film, and he's funny as usual. 

Rachel McAdams returns at Christine Palmer, aka Night Nurse. She had a bigger role in the film, and she was really good in the movie. 

Overall, I enjoyed this movie a lot, and I had a great time and loved how Sam Raimi added a lot of horror elements to this film. A new change for the MCU because they need an update. Also, there are cameos of characters that I won't say till I get to the spoilers in this blog. I give Dr. Strange in the Madness of the Multiverse a B+. Go see it, you will have a good time with it. This film does set up a sequel and a lot more.

SPOILERS Don't go down!!!

Only read once you've seen the movie.

Cameos from the Multiverse. 

Thank you, Marvel! John Krasinski is Mr. Fantastic! This film sets up the Fantastic 4 movie, and Dr. Strange mentions the Fantastic 4 were heroes in the 60s. I'm so excited now!!! 

However, I am kind of disappointed with how he gets killed. I mean, maybe this is why Jon Watts dropped out as director. However, this is a variant. Hopefully, we will still have John as Mr. Fantastic in the MCU Fantastic 4 film.

Peggy Carter, Captain Carter from the What If is in the movie. I'm not surprised she's in it but was surprised she could fight someone like Wanda, like Cap. She's a super-soldier. Her death was really gruesome, though, getting cut in half. Wow, Marvel is starting to get darker. 

Black Bolt is, wearing his iconic costume, and I think Marvel is planning to reboot the Inhumans. Although he does die in such a gruesome way. You know Black Bolt has other powers too.

Captain Marvel in this film is Maria Rambeau which got, be honest, the trailer gave that way. If you were hoping for Superior Iron Man, sadly, no. She's still better than Carol Danvers, though. She also dies getting crushed by a statue.

Finally, Patrick Stewart returns as Professor X, and he's in the iconic wheelchair from the X Men animated series. It was great seeing Patrick again as Xavier. 

The Illuminati rooster and Scarlet Witch kill them in such a gruesome way.

It is one of the best scenes in the whole movie.

Scarlet Witch is actually the main villain of the film. I know that is shocking, but if you read the old comics, Scarlet Witch was a villain originally. Like Scarlet Witch in the movie, she's very unlikeable. I mean, I get it she wants her sons back, but what she is doing is wrong, and she does get held accountable for it. I mean, it's shocking because many people think she was the co-lead, but no, it was America, and Scarlet Witch was the main villain. 

I wish Vision was in the film because maybe you could have had a scene with him and Wanda talking, and he talks some sense into her. That could have worked because White Vision has memories back, and I feel like Marvel wasted an opportunity with that. He could have been the one who saves Wanda from herself.

In fact, someone pointed out she's just like the Kingpin was in Spider-Verse when he was trying to bring back his wife and son. She was evil to the point that you just don't like Wanda anymore.

The end credit scene has Dr. Strange meeting Clea, played by Charlize Theron, and this film will have him going to the Dark Dimension to face off against Dormammu, who I think they are setting up as the main villain.  

Dr. Strange faces off against an evil Dr. Strange, and Dr. Strange uses the body of a dead Dr. Strange to save the day. It is both funny and scary at the same time. So if you bring your kids' heads up, they will be scared by this film. Dr. Strange gets a third eye from the evil Dr. Strange at the end of the movie. 

That's the film's spoilers. There's more, but I won't go into more details. Go see the movie. You will have a good time with it, and if you love the evil dead series, you will like this film. 

What I want to see in the next Dr. Strange film. 

5. Have Baron Mordo as the main villain in the next film. 

Now we had Mordo in the film, but it was a variant. Baron Mordo from the last film makes him the main villain or a main villain in the next movie. I meant he is Dr. Strange's arch-enemy, after all. 
 

4. Have Brother Voodoo and Magik in the next film.

Brother Voodoo, I hope to see in the next film like maybe he's a bad guy at first, but he joins Dr. Strange to fight. Magik could be a sorcerer's apprentice to Dr. Strange in the next film, and she's one of the first mutants introduced in the movie.   

3. Exploring more of the Dark Dimension.

The next film sets up returning to the dark dimension, so let's explore more of it and Dormammu. I could see returning as a villain or main villain of the next film. 

2. Strange and Clea romance.

Clea appears in a mid-credit scene played by Charlize Theron. At the end of the film, Dr. Strange decides to move on from Christine after she gets married, and he tells her variant he will always love her, but he has to move on. So I think Clea would be a good love interest for him in the next film because the film is about Strange moving on from Christine. After all, he gave Thanos the time stone, and he got blipped, but Christine didn't, and she met someone new. So I think the next film should have Strange seeing someone new as well I found it funny Christine's husband is a big Dr. Strange fan. 

1. The Defenders set up. 

I mean, the next film could have Dr. Strange forming the Defenders. The team rooster could be Dr. Strange, Namor, Valkyrie, Hulk, and Silver Surfer. It would be exciting to have Strange form his own superhero team that deals with magical threats. It would be a cool idea.

My cast for that movie

Benedict Cumberbatch as Dr. Strange

Mark Ruffalo as Hulk

Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie 

Tenoch Hueta as Namor 

Jesse Williams as Silver Surfer
