Crisis on Infinite Earths: Review

This will be short since I am writing another review today.

No doubt the best crossover that the Arrowverse has done. Crisis on Infinite Earths delivers on its great cameos, plenty of emotion, plenty of jaw dropping plot twists, excellent visual effects, incredible action scenes, plenty of callbacks to past arrowverse seasons, strong chemistry between the cast members, a great ending that opens so many possibilities, the long awaited formation of the Justice League, the new Multiverse that again opens so many opportunities, and the death of Oliver Queen that was done in the best way possible.

Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part 5: Review

I accidentally deleted my entire review, and it was very long. STUPID COMPUTER!!!!!!!!!!!! So I am going to make this quick.

The final chapter of the Crisis on Infinite Earths story line was the best, and it delivered on the emotion and tribute to Oliver Queen, a well shot final action scene, raising the stakes in the best way possible, Oliver's changes that he made with the Multiverse before he died, plenty of well written humor, great callbacks to past seasons of all of the Arrowverse shows, incredible visual effects, strong performances from its entire cast, and a powerful ending that opens so many endless possibilites.

Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part 4: Review

Let the final battle begin!!!

The opening where Oliver returns to the team as Spectre was a great twist, and Stephen Amell gave a great performance.

The origins of the Monitor and the Anti-Monitor was a great twist to it as well. I did not expect that at all, and the origns of both characters was great writing.

Barry going into the speedforce and seeing Ezra Miller's Flash was a great twist!!!! I was laughing so hard at how they interacted with each other.

Supergirl, Ryan Choi, and Lex Luthor traveling back in time to stop the Monitor from going forward in time was a great story line as well. Jon Cryer gave a great performance once again as Lex Luthor, and I was laughing so hard at some of his one liners.

The final battle between the team and the Anti-Monitor and his goons was a great scene. The visual effects and choreography were arguably the best in any crossover. Oliver Queen's final line to the Anti-Monitor was exactly what I wanted him to say to him.

The true death of Oliver Queen was a very emotional death. Stephen Amell and Caity Lotz's expressions almost made me tear up. It is was hard to say goodbye to Oliver Queen, but I'm glad that he went out like this. Oliver's journey nears its end, and it is going to be very sad once the show wraps up in two weeks.

Overall, the long awaited return for the Crisis on Infinite Earths was certainly worth the wait. The episode delivered on the strong emotion, lots of jaw dropping plot twists, plenty of well written humor, strong visual effects, terrific action scenes, and strong performances from Stephen Amell, and Jon Cryer.

The Mandalorian: Quick Review

What the Mandalorian suffers from in terms of its pacing and lack of questions answered is made up due to its stellar action scenes, strong visual effects, strong performances from its cast, lots of great plot twists, great jaw dropping plot twists, well written new characters, setting up an exciting second season, and strong character development, to deliver a strong start for Star Wars' first live action series.

The Mandalorian: Episode 8: Redemption: Review

Mandalorian ends on a very high note.

The story line had plenty of fan service, and emotional moments. IG-11 was a well written droid, and one of the more memorable since C-3PO, so it makes me more sad that they killed him off. I'm glad they did not kill Moff Gideon, as it would have felt like a waste of a potientally good character.

The action scenes were great as well. The Mandalorian taking on Gideon's Tie Fighter using a jet pack was exciting. The musical score and cinematography were excellent as well.

The acting in this episode was great as usual. Taika Waititi's direction in this episode was great as well. It would not bother me if Disney hired him to do a Star Wars movie.

The ending with Moff Gideon cutting himself out of his destroyed Tie Fighter with the Darksaber was something I did not expect. I'm so glad that the Darksaber made its long awaited live action debut. I really hope that we get an explanation as to how he got ahold of it.

Overall, while it leaves some questions unanswered, the season one finale of the Mandalorian delivers on the musical score, cinematography, Taika Waititi's incredible direction, strong visual effects, strong performances from its cast, and a jaw dropping ending that will satisfy longtime fans of Star Wars and new fans alike.

The Mandalorian: Chapter 7: The Reckoning: Review

The Mandalorian gets back to the business at hand, and surprisingly takes a darker turn as well.

The story line was arbuably the best. The turn in tone also was great, and the long awaited introduction to Moff Gideon finally happened. The ending where The Client was killed by Death Troopers, The Mandalorian, Cara Dune, Greef Karga getting surounded by the Storm Troopers, and Kuill getting killed while protecting Baby Yoda stunned me.

The musical score and cinematography were great as well. While the episode had only one action scene, it was very well shot, and the visuals on it were great.

Carl Weathers' performance was a standout also. While brief, Werner Herzog and Giancarlo Esposito's performances were great as well. Gina Carano gave another great performance in this episode as well.

Overall, while it has only one action scene, Chapter 7 of the Mandalorian gets back to its main story line and delivers on the cinematography, terrific direction, dark tone that works, visual effects, arrival of Moff Gideon, jaw dropping ending, excellent visual effects, and strong performances from its cast.

The Mandalorian: Chapter 6: The Prisoner

Chapter 6 of the Mandalorian takes a different direction, and in the end, it works out well.

The story line felt like something straight out of a western film, and it was great to see Clancy Brown, Mark Boone Junior, and a small cameo by Matt Lanter. The visuals in this episode were some of the best I've ever seen, and the action was great also. 

The musical score was good also, and I feel like they are taking the right direction with this series. As to what the next episode of the Mandalorian has to offer, I'm curious, because I keep thinking what more they can do, but in the end, they keep impressing me.

The show still has a lot to answer however, such as who the character was at the end of the last episode, and who Giancarlo Esposito is playing.

Overall, Chapter 6 of the Mandalorian goes full on Bonuty Hunter, and the end result is a fun and exciting episode, that benefits from its cast and visual effects.
