Hey Arnold the Jungle Movie


Hey Arnold The Jungle Movie 
Review! 

So I saw the Hey Arnold Jungle Movie last night and here's my review of it....After years of wanting this film to happen, it finally does and it delivers the ending we all wanted to see after that cliffhanger in the series finale The Journal. This movie was awesome and deliver the ending I wanted to see.

Arnold and the Gang are back.

So basically the movie takes place after the journal episode with Arnold still looking for parents, until his school is wins a trip to San Lorenzo which his class does wins. They go mostly thanks to Helga because of her love for Arnold. She still acts like a bitch to him and its just like Helga just admit you love him and be nice to Arnold now. However, the truth is Arnold only wanted to go to San Lorenzo to find his lost parents and I totally understand because after years of wanting to know what the hell happen to his parents. That's all we wanted to know since they announce this film and i'm not going to give anything a way, but you'll be happy with the result. 


Thank You Craig Bartlett and Nickelodeon for finishing the story of this football head.

Now most of the cast from original except for a few like Arnold and Gerald are now voice by Mason Vale Cotton and Benjamin Flores Jr. Helga and Phoebe still have their old voices actors coming back and its good to hear them again. They all did a good job and the movie was fun, funny, really cool, and animation was spectacular. Hey Arnold the Jungle Movie is so much better than the first film, even though we didn't see much of the other characters but I know they only wanted to focus on Arnold and the gang searching for his parents. I love this film and I'm really happy we got in the conclusion for this awesome tv show, even though it may not be end for it is rumour that Craig Bartlett might bring back the show if the movie is a hit. I be down a for a new Hey Arnold tv show I mean why not, lets face it Nickelodeon has made nothing but crap I think its time for them to go back to basics. 

 I give this film a solid A and great conclusion to Hey Arnold's search for his lost parents.

Oh hey here are some concepts arts and an actual scene from the original Jungle movie before it got re written.
Originally Principal Warts goes with the class to San Lorenzo 
but is replace with Olga. Helga's annoying sister.

Arnold would even save his parents's worst enemy just shows how good he is.

Originally Arnold's other friends escape their capture and go on their own funny adventure 
in the jungle. Like right here Harold, Stinky, and Sid are being chased by a monkey. In the movie they only focus on Arnold, Gerald, and Helga searching for the Green Eyes.

Here is a an original animated scene from the original Jungle Movie before it was cancelled.
This scene would have been cool to add but I see why Craig cut this because he wanted Arnold's parents disappearance to be mystery.

Justice League Movie Review

My review of Justice League!! Some Spoilers just so you know.

So I saw Justice League yesterday and here's my review of it..... It was Meh. To be honest it was okay. I mean it was better than Batman V Superman and Suicide Squad but it still had flaws and some plot holes. I mean, when I saw this movie I wasn't all excited just going in without any exception, just going in seeing it. To be honest it was just meh it could have been better, but there are some moments in the movie I did like and some I didn't. 

The Cast 
Now the cast of the movie did a good job as the Justice league.  
Ben Affleck as always did a great job as Batman he was awesome and I'm really hoping he doesn't drop out of this role because if you have heard he is considering leaving because film negative writes up. Already Matt Reeves has replacement for him it's Jake Gyllenhaal. I love Ben as Batman and too be honest Batman was kind of funny at some moments and really acted like true leader to the team. Also in the movie you hear Danny Elfman's old Batman theme play at one moment. I am hoping that Ben will stay playing Batman for while because he does such a great job. I rather they replace Jesse Eisnberg and Amy Adams to be honest I don't like as Lex and Lois. 
Henry Cavil was Superman like he acted like Superman he was funny, he smiled more, and he was just like Superman in the comics. In Batman V Superman if you recall he acted like downer and was all 'I let everyone down' that Zack Synder doing and I'm so glad they change that. Also guys its not a spoiler Superman does come back and we all knew you would. I will not tell how but you're reaction will either be 'really thats how he comes back?' or you might say "his death was pointless to begin with!" Hoping they will do Man of Steel 2 and get Matthew Vaughn to direct and also I recommend Brainic as the villain and also introduce Supergirl and Superboy. 
Gal Gadot was as always great as Wonder Woman she nails it as always. The film does take place after the end of Wonder Woman and she still hasn't really gotten over Steve's death, even though that was hundred years ago. It's understandable though and in the end she does get it together and she leads the team at one point. She was awesome can't wait to see Wonder Woman 2.   
Jason Momoa as Aquaman he was actually my second favourite character he was bad ass, he was funny, he was just so cool, and I'm excited to see Aquaman next year. In truth I wasn't big on Jason Momoa playing Aquaman I wanted a blonde hair and blue eyes to play Aquaman, but I won't lie I don't mean to be stereotypical but there was a part of me that liked the idea of a Hawaiian playing Aquaman. Amber Heard as Mera Aquaman's future wife she was wasn't in the movie that long she was just in it for ten minutes but next year like Wonder Woman we'll get to know her more. I wonder how Jason would react if WB told him he has to shave off his beard and cut his hair lol. Jason nailed as Aquaman though.
Erza Miller as Flash he did a great job as Flash now after this movie there will debates on who is the best Flash. Grant Gustin or Erza Miller. In the end, can't we all just agree they're both good. Now when I first heard Erza was playing The Flash I did not like him at all as Flash. He looked nothing like Barry Allen like Aquaman I wanted a guy with blonde hair and blue eyes like Garret Hudson or Alex Pettyfer. But I was proven wrong Erza did a great job he was so funny, he was one of my favourite characters in the movie and I can see why he's a fan favourite. Still there were a few small things I didn't like but none the less he was still a cool character. He also was like the Spiderman to the Justice League he's youngest and billionaire playboy takes him under his wing. Hope to see more of Erza has to offer as The Flash and best luck to him in the Flashpoint movie because he will be carrying that whole movie. Hopefully they get a good director for it. Hopefully its not a pet cemetery lol.  
Ray Fisher as Cyborg did a great job he was just like new 52 Cyborg and I love it when he said "Booyah" love that Teen Titans reference. I got say it was smart of WB to go with unknown for Cyborg it really works kind of like Christopher Reeves as Superman. Although some of cgi on Cyborg looked a little off to me, but none the less he was really cool as Cyborg. 

The rest of the cast were good but I really like JK Simmons as Commissioner Gordon he look more like Gordon than Gary Oldman. I hope we get to see more of him in the Batman movie directed Matt Reeves or the Batgirl movie by Joss Whedon. To be honest I don't like Amy Adams as Lois Lane I mean I loved her in the Fighter, Arrival, and Enchanted but I don't see her as Lois Lane. 
Also to Green Lantern fans yes Green lanterns do appear but not these guys no Hal, no John, no Guy, no Kyle, no Simon, and No Jessica. It felt weird not having a Green Lantern as founding member of the Justice League, but hey they did with Ant man and Wasp in the Avengers. Still we're getting a Green Lantern Corps movie which will be out in 2020 with Hal and John as the main characters. The movie will be Guardians of the Galaxy meets Lethal Weapons I'm told. Even though I really did want Hal Jordan to appear because I feel like this film could have been the reboot for that character after that awful 2011 film. It's likely will get a Green Lantern in the sequel to Justice League I am hoping its Hal or John or maybe both them. 

Now the villain Steppenwolf in the film he's just lame. I didn't find him cool or anything but I'm sure in the comics he's better but in this film he's just there. I would prefer gone with more interesting villain like Brainic or someone more interesting. I feel DC is developing that movie villain problem that Marvel went through but now this year Marvel has given us great marvel villains. So far Zod from Man of Steel is the best DC villain because lets face Eisnberg was an awful choice for Lex Luther and to be honest if he was playing the Riddler instead he would be amazing, Enchantress or belly dancer was lame, they should have just made Joker the villain because lets face it he wasted in that movie, and Ares well he was just all right they pulled the whole oh that really nice guy was the actual villain this whole time.   

Now in truth the movie had a lot of problems and plot holes. There are moments in the film where I'm just like we're forgetting that or what happen after that scene. To be honest last year I was very disappointed in what I got in Batman V Superman and Suicide Squad sucked. Zack Synder did things in BVS that pissed me off so much like Batman kills people, Superman is emo, Jesse Eisnberg is Lex Luther, Rushing to catch up to Marvel, and making things too edgy and gritty.  I just wished the studio after the write ups of BVS just said to Zack you're not directing Justice League anymore because of negative reviews, you can stay on as producer but someone else will take over. Now I know he left after what happen to his daughter and my deepest condolences to him and his family. Joss Whedon took over I feel most of the comedy and mid credit scenes were his idea. I just wished they just took more time making this movie because as kid I loved the Justice League TV show and I wanted to see Justice League movie and I got it, but wasn't what I wanted it still felt rushed. I feel like they should have delayed this film and have Joss reshoot the whole thing and maybe we could have gotten something better but the studio went through it out of respect for Zack. I understand why they did that and I respect it.  Zack even recommend Joss Whedon after The Avengers successes and seeing how Joss is making Batgirl. I still don't think Zack should make anymore DC films I feel after this the studio is done with him.  

Overall this movie to me is a meh like I don't love it or hate it. It's just meh if you want to go see go ahead or if you don't thats fine. I take it after this movie's negative write ups DC and WB are likely going to move forward with Flashpoint and reboot their universe in a Days of Futures Past style. Erasing BVS, the first Suicide Squad movie, and maybe even recast just not Ben and the rest of Justice League. Granted they don't make a shitty sequel after Flashpoint. Still WB at least Wonder Woman was a big hit and got great write ups just remember that. You may so many people happy with that film and we finally got a great female superhero film. I give Justice League a C+. Also still through the credits lets just say one mid credit is funny and awesome and one sets up the sequel.

Amazon is not remaking Lord of the Rings instead is adapting the other prequel books.


So as some of you know Amazon wants to make a their own "Game of Thrones" so instead of adapting something like Wheel of Time, Dragon Age, Legend of Zelda, Eargon tv show more faithful to the book, or Garden's of the Moon. Instead they want remake one of my favourite movie franchise of all time. The Lord of the Rings one of the best fantasy films ever made and it was the first fantasy film to win best picture. That was before and on monday I have found out their not remaking Lord of the Rings instead their going adapt the other books like The Silmarillion, Children of Hurin, Unfinished Tales, and Beren and Luthien. Now I'm going to give  reasons why this very exciting and how they can show stuff we haven't seen before.
Beren and Luthien 
Unfinished Tales 
Children of Hurin 
The Silmarillion 

5. We can explore more the history and lore of Middle Earth with these stories be made into tv shows. 

Now as you know or don't know the lesser known books are Beren and Luthien, Unfinished Tales, The Children of Hurin, and the Silmarillion. When you think of Middle Earth you think of Lord of the Rings or The Hobbit.  Now Amazon has decided to adapt these books into tv shows rather than movies. This can work better because to be honest The Silmarillion is more of history book than story. But there is some story like they can adapt the History of the Silmaril, The War of Wraith, and The Fall of Gondolin. Now we've all seen Middle Earth in the films but there is so much more to that world that meets the eye. We finally get to see places we haven't seen before like Gondolin, Angband, Numenor, Valinor, and The Undying Lands. There so much adapt and too be honest as much as we wanted to see Peter Jackson adapted these book into film, its too hard. Like these books are bigger and making these stories into tv shows will work better than movies. 

4. The creation of Middle Earth. 

It's hard to explain these guys but  Eru Liuvatar, basically the god of Middle Earth. Eru Liuvatar created the ainur and they helped him create Middle earth by singing a song Eru created, but one of them added his own stuff that wasn't suppose to be in it. That ainur was Melkor he would everntully be the first dark lord. The Ainur eventually went to the world before it was called Middle Earth and could not return, until the world ended. 
It would be really cool to see these characters onscreen. Interesting fact, Tolkien was a strong catholic and many of this was inspirited by the bible like Eru Liuvatar is god, The Ainur are basically angels, and Melkor is basically the devil. I think if they first start with this on how Middle Earth was created this would be interesting to see and how the song of Eru Liuvatar began and what did it sound like and how Melkor became corrupted. 

3. The Valar and Maiar  

The Valar and Maiar are basically powerful beings. The Valar helped shaped Middle Earth and the Maiar are basically their and lesser help out. Also everyone's favourite Wizard Gandalf is a Maiar it would be cool to get to see his origins and Sauron's. Sauron was once a Maiar and he was actually good guy, until he was corrupted by Melkor and became his second in command. We know a lot about Hobbits, Dwarves, Elves, and Men I think its time we go to know the Valar and the Maia. 

2. The First Dark Lord Melkor aka Morgoth 

Melkor the first dark lord and a character people want to see on this show. If you recall in the movies Galadriel mentions Morgoth to Sauron because Sauron was actually his second in command. Melkor is a great villain like he conquerd Middle Earth, He turned the first elves in orcs, He destroyed many great kingdoms and killed many heroes. Many fans want to see this guy adapted in some form and who could blame them, he's such interesting villain. This one villain many fans I really hope in the tv series.


1. The show could focus on new stories with new characters  every season like Fargo and Black Mirror. 

Now if they are adapting all the other books I would recommend have one season focus on one story and next season they focus on different story with different characters. For example lets say do a season that focuses on Children of Hurin which can be the dark gritty and a depressing story. Than next season could be the tragic but sweet love story of Beren and Luthien that ends bitter suite. The show doesn't need to too much like Game of Thrones, it could do something new where one season or two focus on one story and the season after they can focus on a new story.

There are so many ideas now for this tv series, I'm so happy their not remaking Lord of the Rings. Their actually adapt more of Tolkien's other work instead of remaking already amazing Lord of the Rings. Let's see what Amazon will do hopefully they don't fuck up. Now I have to sign up for Amazon Prime.

THOR RAGNAROK REVIEW.


THOR RAGNAROK REVIEW SOME SPOILERS JUST SO YOU KNOW.

So I saw Thor Ragnarok last night and here's my review of it......I LOVED IT. It was awesome, this movie was very funny and it was just awesome! This is the best Thor movie hands down it so much better than the first one and second one, its weird it's as if Marvel Studios have started something were the third movie of franchise is better than the first one or the second one like Civil War and Iron Man 3. Too be honest the first Thor movies are good but there not great but Ragnarok is just awesome. The fight scene between Hulk and Thor is just awesome so well done and funny to watch. 

 Hulk stole the show he was best character in the movie.
It was smart to have Hulk in the film.

Now the cast in the movie did a great job like Chris Hemsworth was an awesome as Thor he was also funny and he was so cool in the film and Mark Rufflo was awesome as Hulk. Hulk was one of the best characters in the movie he was so cool and he was also really funny too. Tom Hiddelston as Loki he was great as always like Mark and Chris. Those three will be appearing again next year to fight Thanos. 
One of the best moment in the film.

Now the newest casting Cate Blachet as Hela she was amazing and she's was bad ass, surprising she was a great villain she kills so many people in the film. There's a twist with her I'm not going to reveal though. Let me just say she's best Thor villain so far and Cate Blachet did a great job. Marvel Studios seems to making their villains better now like this year Vulture in Spiderman Homecoming was a great villain, he threaten Peter with gun at his while dropping him and his daughter off at the homecoming prom and Ego give Starlord's mom a brain tumour anyone who gives someone cancer is evil in my books. He also killed so many women and children because they didn't give him the right child he wanted. Hela was a great villain and I think we see her again because we know a certain titan who loves death. 
Damn she was evil and cool at the same time. 


Good old Jeff Goldblum 

The Grandmaster himself Jeff Goldblum was funny and he was bad guy but he was more like collector in Guardians of the Galaxy. He was entreating to watch and I hope in the future movies we will see more of him. The end credit scene with him is very funny. That's good old Jeff Goldblum.  

Another Lord of the Rings actor in a MCU film.
Karl Urban did a good job Skurge he was funny but he wasn't really villain he was just a guy who at first sided with Hela and than felt bad and redeemed himself. 

Now Valkyrie in the movie played by Tessa Thompson she was awesome and funny like I love the scenes were she drinks so much booze. She was also a bad ass and I hope we will see more of her in the next Avengers movie and too be honest she is a lot better than Jane or Sif because, spoiler by the way there is no romance shown between her and Thor, but its kind of hinted though. After this movie I really want to see an all female superhero team up because Tessa, Scarlet, and Brie want to make one and I say lets do it. Love to go drinking with Valkyrie lol. 
Valkyrie is my favourite female superhero in the MCU now.

This is one of the best superhero film I've seen this year I praise director Taika Waititi for making an awesome Thor film he also play the character Korg he was so funny as Korg. I loved this film it deliver great action scenes, great comedy, great storytelling, and a good set up for Avengers Infinity War. I give this film a solid A+. Go see it! Can't wait to see Infinity War next year because the mid credit sets it up.
