Review Time: this film is mixed
Fundamental elements: there are words
and numbers on screen, cultural elements, voice-over elements, yes and no to
subtitles being used when another language is being used, slow-motion effects,
mental imagery, time jumps and place jumps.
Action sequences/Artistic visions: now on both counts these show imagination and creativity, be it the
arsenal car [basically without giving too much away a Men In Black vehicle
which holds different weapons] or the science fiction modified motorbike in a
chasing sequence or I like the pictures in a main character's office, in short
there is a lot to see and experience in one way or another in this project.
Storyline/Character developments/Performances
/Voice Performance/Comedy: well I'm not
looking forward to dictating the rest of this review, just because I know in
the current world we are living in there is a very high risk of me getting some
feedback of some description which throughout the next section at one point or
another I will highlight if you choose to do this [which you are more than
welcome to do,] I would strongly not recommended [I say this as advice not in a
threatening tone just giving you a friendly heads up, the more you read the
more it will become crystal-clear.]
The reason
why I have linked these four points together in this review, is because I can't
bring up one without the other or others. Yes the storyline is the
run-of-the-mill for this kind of film so in theory it is okay, but if you
look/listen closer it keeps dropping donkey diarrhea piles on its legacy.
To be honest
I don't know where to start and I'm not going to bring up every single point;
the fact that our lead female role pretty much just throws away the Noisy
Cricket Gun as if it was nothing and gets a bigger gun of some description [if
Agent J. can use it I don't see why Agent M. shouldn't be put through the same
ropes even though Agent J. wasn't too best please at the time when he first
received it,] that is beside the point all new Agents should be given a version
of the Noisy Cricket Gun regardless of gender, it is a part of a
hazing/welcoming to the family that kind of thing.
Men In Black
now I have absolutely no problem with saying this; they should absolutely not
change this name to include Women, because under this idea I should be able to
go and change anywhere to include the words Wheelchair or Mental Health because
I don't feel somewhere represents me as an individual in the name of their
business or whatever, do you know how crazy that sounds. Yes absolutely there
are places that have a specific purpose which would indicate they assist
predominantly men or women or children or both or other in their name. But in
this case we are talking about Men In Black, here is a great idea if you don't
like the name don't work for them? [Just for the record I am in a wheelchair
and I have mental health issues, I only use these cards when I feel it is
necessary,] I have just had a better idea, I mean this is such a crazy idea it
may just work; how about coming up with a new franchise so in this case it
includes everybody in the name [sarcastic tone is very much intended here.]
Which
swiftly moves me onto the Queen thing as it relates to our lead female
character and this other character, so on one hand this film talks about women
as equals and then it pulls this thing with this character that takes our lead
female character as his new Queen, which I should just point out she doesn't
want this; this character says something to the effect of "You should have
said."
But here's
my point; after this at no point did she of what I can remember say Please stop
it or attempt to educate this character about her just being her and getting
somewhere in life because she has worked hard or just being seen as an equal or
even though no one will know she has made the difference in the universe, she
will know [well that is before she gets Neuralyzed,] you see if they did what I
have just suggested then I would back this thing more, but as it is it has no
legs to stand on.
I have a big
problem with this Queen thing or any wording connected to that, so in a
nutshell it puts this lead female character in an undeserved high status,
somewhere between wanting the same as her peers even though she just got in the
door to being a Queen.
I have
another point to make; without giving too much away our lead partnership or
trio are having this discussion and our lead male character is being really
genuine about this situation [I can't tell you too much more than that because
that is an element of the storyline,] but this lead female character ends up
just laughing at him and to be honest I really couldn't care less for her
reasoning.
Because you
cannot have women wanting equal things or whatever on one side of the coin,
whilst on the other side of the coin; telling men they should be more open to
expressing themselves and then laughing at them when they do.
So generally
speaking I don't know what I can tell you about these character
developments/performances/voice performance/comedy level, besides the issues
with the character developments I have already discussed, I would say away from
these issues the other character developments and performances are doing their
job [minus two characters/performers I will discuss them later,] the voice
performance is good. The comedy level there are little bits and pieces such as
one example this little character getting out of a jar, but I apologize for
bringing this up again, because of the previous issues I have discussed in this
review at length the comedy level is there, but it can be mixed in with these issues
as well.
Hemsworth
and T. Thompson; well this project sucked this excellent connection out of this dynamic duo, I can say
this; because I have seen Thor: Ragnarok 2017 and I can't remember too much
about it [what can I say I watch way too many projects,] but based on I gave
this sequel a 10 out of 10, but back onto this film the chemistry/friction is
there, but it is a paint by numbers kind of thing and it isn't just these two
characters/performers that have this problem I would say the cast have this
problem as well [just before someone points this out yes I am aware that I have
just used a DC reference as it relates to two MCU characters.]
So I think
I'm going to cut Hemsworth and T. Thompson some slack, because as I have
already gave evidence to suggest together on a better project they can do much
better.
This film receives: 5/10, I could have
given this film a different mark but this mark is fair, but when it does
something negative it really does set this film back [I should just point out I
have no idea what this project is, from this perspective a prequel, a sequel or
a reboot, or whatever it wants to be so I just went with film..]
On a quick
side note I am not trying to compete with anyone for equality or equal rights,
but all I'm going to say is there are many different types of people out there
that are looking for equality or equal rights it shouldn't just be focused on
women for like 95% of the time and before you get angry on your keyboard, I am
not talking as a Caucasian man now I am talking from the perspective of a
wheelchair/a person with mental health issues as well.
