Army of Darkness Review

 

Army of Darkness Review

Army of Darkness is one of my favourite Horror comedy films and it's part of the Evil Dead Trilogy. The film is about Ash now stuck in the 1300s were he must find a way back to his own timeline. He must find the book of the dead that can send him back to his own time but Ash mistakley says the words to release the book of dead and the dead rise led by Ash's evil clone. 

Ash should have had that sage come with him or at least practice saying those words.

The film had some great set designs, the visual effects of the film are good for it's time. The action, horror, and the comedy of the film were great. One of my favourite moments in the film is when the army of darkness marches to the castle and the music in the background. It is to me one of the best scenes in the film. 

I got to say the practical effects were great and look more real than what we get now a days. 

Despite how fake it looks it is scary still. Sam Raimi knows how to tell a horror film.

This film was also so funny too like Bruce Campbell he was born to play Ash. I just love his character and he just makes you laugh through out the whole film. He also did a great job playing Evil Ash. 

The cast of the film all did a great job like Embeth Davidtz, the late Marcus Gilbert, Bridget Fonda, Ian Abercrombie, Ted Raimi, and Richard Grove. This film is so much fun to watch for Halloween and it's part of the Evil Dead trilogy but I think you can watch this film without watching the first two. 

Also film has two endings one is he wakes up back in his time and kills the Deadite at his job and kisses his co-worker. This an alternate ending were he oversleeps and ends up the future and everything has been destroyed. This movie is such a blast and a great halloween film. It's so funny and scary at the same time. I give this film an 8 out of 10. It's a great film to watch for Halloween.

Happy Halloween

What I want to see and don't want see in the MCU Ghost Rider film

 

What I want to see and don't want to see in 

the MCU Ghost Rider Film.

Now we know Ryan Gosling is playing Ghost Rider in the MCU Ghost Rider film, and I'm now excited for this film. He was always my first choice to play Ghost Rider. Now I'm going to write what I want to see in the MCU Ghost Rider film, and I hope it's Johnny Blaze they are going with, or Danny Ketch would be a good choice too. So here is what I want to see for the Ghost Rider film and what I don't want to see. 

What I want to see in the MCU Ghost Rider film.

5. It needs to be a supernatural horror film.

Now, Ghost Rider this film needs to be a supernatural, dark, gritty, horror film; it needs to be that. Now, if they do add humor to the film, that's fine, but make it funny humor like Shaun of the Dead, Army of Darkness, Zombieland, and the Hellboy films. It needs to be something like that where it is a superhero film that has horror and frightening scenes. Also this film should be rated R not pg-13. That's what we want in a Ghost Rider film a dark, gritty, R-rated, horror movie. 

4. Ghost Rider needs to fights actual monsters and demons not an emo boyband. 

If this film is the setup for the Supernatural side of the MCU, we need to see Ghost Rider fight actual demons and monsters. Not emo boy bands. We need to see this character fight villains like Blackheart, Mephisto, Jack O'Lantern, Scarecrow, Blackout, Lilith, and Deathwatch. We need to see Ghost Rider battle these types of villains in the films; they are evil to the core, with no redeeming qualities or any sense of being misunderstood. We need more villains who are villains, and this Ghost Rider film can give us that. 

3. The film should explore the Blaze family and the spirit of vengeance. 

Now I feel like the Nic Cage films didn't explore this enough, but I think these films need to explore the Blaze family and their history with the Spirit of Vengeance. The film should also feature Danny as well and have him become a Ghost Rider too, and it could be about two brothers avenging their sister's death at the end of Deathwatch, depending on whether that's the plot of the first film. We need a Ghost Rider film that explores the Blaze Family’s history. 

2. The film should set up Midnight Sons.

The film could set up the Midnight Sons film, which could focus on Ghost Rider, Blade, Moonknight, Dr. Strange, and Werewolf by Night. It could be a supernatural team-up with these heroes as they do battle against Lilith, the Queen of Demons, or Mephisto. The whole film is about the supernatural heroes battling the forces of evil. 

1. It needs to be a faithful adaption of the Ghost Rider comic.

Now this film needs to be a faithful adaptation of the comic, whether this film will be a retelling of Ghost Rider's Origin. Still, it's more faithful to the comics, or he's already established as Ghost Rider because we did see Ghost Rider in Agents of SHIELD. Still, I think we should get another origin film, but if they choose to skip it, that's fine as long as the storyline is good and Shaun Levy gives us a proper Ghost Rider straight from the comics. I'll be happy with whatever they do as long as it’s proper, comic-accurate Ghost Rider. I just hope they won't mess up the character like they have with most of their characters lately in the MCU. 

Now here is what I don't want to see in the film. 

4. Learn from the bad writing in Nic Cage's Ghost Rider. 

This film will likely avoid the mistakes of Nic Cage's Ghost Rider films because those films were fun with Nic Cage, but let's face it, those films were bad. So I think they will know what didn't work in these films.

3. Don't have a forced Co-Lead in the film unless it's an important character from Johnny's life.

Now another MCU trope we always get is a forced Co-Lead that doesn't need to be there. If the co-lead is his brother Danny Ketch, that's fine because he is a Ghost Rider too; Robbie Reyes would work too, or Roxanne Simpson, that's fine too. Just don't give Ghost Rider some forced Co-lead that's there for pandering's sake. 

2. Don't have any forced jokes or comedy in the film.

I hope this film doesn't follow the MCU's annoying forced-comedy trope, where it just feels out of place. Like Thor: Love and Thunder and Ant-Man 3 did. If you are going to have jokes in the films or funny scenes, that's fine, but please don't make them feel forced. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3's jokes worked, so if the jokes work, then it fits, but if they don't, don't force it. Like the picture shows, don't have a scene of Ghost Rider eating ice cream and it melts; it will come across as forced that, oh, he can't eat ice cream when he's Ghost Rider. No forced jokes in this film. 

1. Don't have the villains be misunderstood or sympathetic. You can't make Mephisto a misunderstood villain.  

Now, this is another thing: do not make Ghost Rider's villains misunderstood. Like, for God's sake, Mephisto is one of the most evil characters in Marvel comics; he is the devil, satan, and the prince of darkness. You can't make him sympathetic, and let's remember he's the character that ended Peter Parker's marriage. Don't make any of these demons or monsters sympathetic. I mean, sure, there are some good monsters in the MCU, but the demons and monsters Ghost Rider fights are evil to the core. Also, if anyone brings up Hazbin Hotel, that's different; the devil in that is more good, while Mephisto is twisted and evil to the core. Same with Blackheart, Lilith Mother of Demons, Blackout, and Deathwatch.

That's what I want to see and don't want to see in the MCU Ghost Rider film. Let me know what you think and what you want to see in this film too.

Happy Halloween

My Top Ten Best Spider-Man Villains

 

My Top Ten Best Spider-Man Villains.

For Halloween I did top best Batman villains and so here is my list of best Spider-Man villains. So here is my top ten best Spider-Man villains.

10. The Lizard 

The Lizard was one of the first villains of Spider-Man I saw when I was a kid, and he's one of my favorites because he's a villain that Spider-Man needs to save. The Lizard has done some horrible things, but despite that, Connors helped Peter through many events. The Lizard was also great in the Amazing Spider-Man film, though I wish he had had a snout; I get that they were going with Steve Ditko’s design for the character.

9. Vulture 

Vulture was one of the creepy villains I remember from the animated series that let people recapture their youth. In the comics, he almost killed Spider-Man and, at one point, nearly discovered Peter Parker's identity. I also loved Michael Keaton’s portrayal of the character in Homecoming. 

8. Hobgoblin 

Hobgoblin was one of those mystery villains fans loved, and many fans were not happy when they found out he was Ned Leeds and had recently been killed off. Until Roger Stern fixed that and revealed that the Hobgoblin is actually Roderick Kingsley, that's a good twist. Hobgoblin is a villain I hope we one day see get adapted on screen, whether it's Ned Lee, or Roderick Kingsley, or Jason Macendale. 

7. The Scorpion 

The Scorpion was a villain created by Jonah Jameson, and despite Scorpion being his fault, Spider-Man didn't rat him out because Peter needs a job. Scorpion was a B-level villain but later went on to become Venom, joined the Thunderbolts, and later became the Sinister Spider-Man for the Dark Avengers. Now he's back as Scorpion, and he got his symboite, calling himself Virus. Scorpion has come a long way to be an A-list villain. Also, Michael Mando did a great job as Scorpion. 

6. Kraven the Hunter 

Kraven the Hunter: what made him a great villain was the Last Hunt and how, even after he killed himself, Spider-Man felt guilty about not saving him. Kraven always saw Spider-Man as worthy prey, and after he was brought back to life, he didn't want that. He actually begged Spider-Man to kill him, but he wouldn't do it because only Spider-Man can end his life. Kraven would go on to fight Kaine, aka the Scarlet Spider, and he would later die; his clone son would take over the mantle of Kraven the Hunter. Now, I didn’t see the Kraven the Hunter movie, but I’ve been told how bad it is, and honestly, you’re better off just introducing him as a future Spider-Man villain. 

5. Carnage 

Now Carnage is one of my favorite Marvel villains, and he's Spider-Man's most dangerous enemy. Even Spider-Man struggled to defeat him during the Maximum Carnage storyline. Cletus was one of the most dangerous people to get a symbiote because he's a nutjob, and the suit took over his mind just like that. I remember in New Avengers when Sentry killed him, he eventually returned and even got revenge on Sentry. Carnage has gone on to cause so much carnage in the Marvel Universe, especially during Absolute Carnage and King in Black. Also, I haven’t seen Venom: Let There Be Carnage, but I do think Woody Harrelson does a good job as Carnage. 

4. Morlun 

Morlun was the main villain in both the Other and the Spider-Verse. He is also one of the first villains to kill Spider-Man. In fact, he kills many Spider-Man variants, especially Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends lol. Morlun was at one point rumored to be the villain in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 4. Who knows, maybe we will get Morlun as a future Spider-Man villain or Black Panther villain, as he has fought Black Panther in the past. 

3. Doc Ock 

Doc Ock is one of Spider-Man's villains, and we all know what we did when he took over Spider-Man's body and became Superior Spider-Man. He has also done a lot of bad stuff, but at the same time, in some variants, he was a mentor to Peter, and Peter looked up to him, but sadly he let him down. Doc Ock has gone out of his way to ruin Peter Parker's life, and he, like Norman Osborn and Eddie Brock, knows he is Spider-Man. Alfred Molina owned that role as Doc Ock, and he was one of the best characters in Spider-Man: No Way Home. 

2. Venom 

Everyone loves Venom, like let's face it he is one of Spider-Man's best villains even though the character has become a good guy thanks to Flash Thompson and now we got Mj as Venom which I don't like because the venom suit traumatized her when she first saw him. Venom to me is one of my all-time favorite Marvel villains. To me, Eddie Brock is the best Venom, and I like that he will be Venom again. I loved Tom Hardy’s Venom in the film, and he looked more comic-accurate. Like, say what you will about the films, but no one denies Tom Hardy’s Venom is way better than Topher Grace’s. Also, I hope we see Venom again in a future Spider-Man film or in Secret Wars. 

1. Green Goblin 

The Green Goblin is to me the greatest Spider-Man villain. He has done horrible things to Peter, and he has messed up Peter's life more times than any Spider-Man villain, like he killed Gwen Stacy, he was the mastermind behind the Clone Saga, he faked Aunt May's death, and of course he took over the superhero registration act and led the Dark Avengers during Dark Reign. Norman Osborn has come a long way in becoming Spider-Man's greatest enemy but also one of the Avengers' biggest enemies. That's why he's the number one best Spider-Man villain, and I don't like how he's now a good guy. Willem Dafoe nailed it as the Green Goblin, and I hope whoever becomes the Green Goblin of the MCU will have an actual Goblin face. 

So that's my top ten best Spider-Man villains 

let me what you think? 

Happy Halloween
