Drew-z Movie Reviews
himself in a deadly contest against his former ally, The Incredible Hulk (Mark Ruffalo). Thor must fight for survival and race against time to prevent the all-powerful Hela (Cate Blanchett) from destroying his planet. Director Taika Waititi did a great job making this Thor film fun to watch. No.1 at box office -$130M-U.S./ foreign- $308M- (budget-$180M)- Must- see for Marvel fans- Classic
Roman J. Israel, Esq - A awkward, underpaid defense attorney (Denzel Washington) is hired by a law firm (Colin Farrell) to do the small cases. Israel finds himself in a bad situation that led to a series of deaths. I must admit this film wasn’t a typical Denzel Washington’s action film ,but I was amazed on how he memorized a lawyer’s legal language for this film. Will be shocked on how it ends. Enjoyed it for being different. Made $6M (budget- $22M)- ****
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missour - A determined mother ( Oscar winning Frances McDormand- Fargo) challenges the local police (Woody Harrelson, Sam Rockwell) with billboards to solve her daughter’s murder when they fail to catch the culprit. This drama, light comedy was surprisingly good. Made $7M (budget-N/A)- ****
Star Wars: The Last Jedi - Director Rian Johnson starts the Last
Jedi right where it left off with Rey (Daisy Ridley) struggling to get Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) to train her and return back to the Resistance. Mean- while, The Resistance ( Oscar Isaac, John Boyega, Carrie Fisher) prepares to do battle with Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) and the First Order. Definitely a must see for the Star Wars fans. Enjoyed it. 2hrs/32mins long. No.1 at box office- $216M/ foreign- $274M-(budget-N/A)- ****
Wonder - Based on the New York Times bestseller, WONDER tells the in- credibly inspiring and heartwarming story of a kid, August Pullman (Jacob Trem- blay) with facial differences, who enters the fifth grade at a elementary for the first time. His parents ( Julia Roberts, Owen Wilson) help him cope with the ha- rassment of kids in the school. Director Stephen Chbosky directs a sleeper box office hit that inspires and may pull a tear out of you. Definitely, a must see for kids and parents. Second at the box office making- $27M U.S.- *****classic
Justice League - With his restored faith in humanity, Batman (Ben Affleck) enlists the help of his newfound ally, Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot, Aquaman( Jason Momoa), Cyborg (Ray Fisher) and The Flash (Ezra Miller) to fight an even greater enemy, Steppenwolf (Ciaran Hinds) and his demon like creatures. Direc- tor Zack Snyder (The Man Of Steel, 300) did a great job keeping this action- packed thriller at a fast pace and the special effects were off the chain. The film features a special surprise that makes it worth going to see. Can't figure why this film received bad reviews, but it's a must-see for action fans. Check it out in Dolby or IMAX theaters for the sound. No.1 at box office- $96M- U.S./ foreign- $185M- (budget- $180M)- **** and then some.
