War of the Planet of the Apes (2017)

If you haven't watched the previous two films you may miss a few things but not many the best recap can be said mainly by this quote by Ernest Hemmingway
"All things truly wicked start from innocence"
except with the knowledge that it wasn't innocence which carried on the war between man and ape. There were truly cryable moments and hilarious moment with introduction of a new Ape only named in self-reference as "Bad Ape" as that is what humans used to shout at him when he was in the zoo.
For those who wondered if the Apes were using proper sign-language like I did at the start, they are in fact using ASL (American Sign Language) to which I started to learn despite being English (picked it up from American TV shows) which to me felt a great achievement as I understood quite a bit of the conversations between Apes.
With Woody Harrelson being the featuring villain made it a new attitude I felt towards him as an actor as he tends to play the same or similar role and by taking this role he definatley shows that he is bridging out a bit.

I rate this terrific drama a 17/20.
 

Spiderman: Homecoming (2017)

Well, me and my siblings all went to this and well me and my sister-in-law thoroughly enjoyed the topless version of Tom Holland.
With this reboot there comes a new actor as mentioned before, a new sidekick which often didn't really occur before in the Andrew Garfield reboot and the original Tobey Maguire trilogy. However, you do see a nice plot set-up for the next film which sees Zendaya whose character is Michele reveal her nickname is actually MJ. Which previously was played by Kirsten Dunst.
This time Michael Keaton plays the villain, instead of the good guy (See Batman 1989), Tony Stark plays the replacement father figure like Uncle Bens should be (not the rice company) and extremely young Aunt May.
I love the special effects, the new Spidey suit gadgets and explotions.
I rate this a 18/20.
 

Power Rangers (2017)

I might be biased in this but I thought the film was really good. However, as a child I was not allowed to watch the TV show as my brother after watching it proceeded to try being a power ranger on the playground and to be honest I did the same with Totally Spies, anyway.

 

So this to me seemed a really awesome origin story and to be honest the Red Ranger was pretty cute and that was a hilarious prank which he set up. Elizabeth Banks plays Rita Repulsa brilliantly to which a role I had imagined would not suit her as she plays often quite preppy characters.

 

For those who don't know,

The film follows the plot of a group of five teenagers who all end up detention together, for various reasons, and eventually all meet up at a quarry, fall in, find Power Ranger quartz and come into powers which take time to truly master.

 

I rate this film a 17/20.

Before I Fall (2017)

When you combine Groundhog Day with If I Stay you get this film. This film follows the dramatic day in the life Samantha Kingston who dies at the end of each day or if she prevents her own death then another girl dies and so everytime she wakes up in the same exact day as she started. So it doesn't matter if she decides to be goody-two shoes, a promiscuous bad girl or a girl who loves her friends or a girl who loves her family it will always end up the same way.

So how does she get out of this waking nightmare? This is essentially the plot line which at each new day seems to carry a new dramatic edge that seems only positive in how it will be able to reduce you to tears. Zoey Deutch is the perfect actress and is able to truly show how a character can change and grow for the better in 1 day.

I rate this tear jerker of a film 18/20.

Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2016)

So when Alice thought it might have been able to make an agreement in Retribution with Wesker but, it seems that was all a lie. And so she carried on with her Lone Ranger Routine until with a mission set by the Red Queen to go to Racoon City and find the real anti-virus.

However, along the way she may be betrayed, she may find out some absolutely shocking truths but in the end will she be able to stay alive because she was infected with the T-Virus.

The stunts were so extreme that the Stunt actress for Milla ended up without an arm when she did a motorbike jump and ended up with nerve damage. I have watched all of the other films and I must say that it could have been better.

I rate this film 14/20.
