I Am Disappointed & Heartbroken

If you remember in 2019, the movie Joker was released to mixed critical reception but great audience reception and was a massive box-office success. It's sequel, Folie à Deux on the other hand is a totally different story. To be honest the movie itself is basically a recap of everything that happened in the first movie, but in the form of a court drama musical and Harley Quinn enters the picture.

The movie being bad is an overstatement. Disappointing on the other hand is the correct way to describe it. The writing wasn't the greatest and the musical numbers just didn't work. I understand what the movie was going for, but it was executed very poorly. Not that I'm a fan, but Harley Quinn was completely wasted in this movie. I know she was basically known as Joker's ride or die, but she was more than willing to get her hands dirty. I thought that would be the case here, but she barely did anything in this movie aside from supporting Joker throughout his trail and putting stupid ideas in his head. The entire relationship of Joker and Harley never got gritty as all. It was just them singing songs the entire time and a bunch of stupid dream sequences. No one wants to see that, they want to see them kill! It most likely wouldn't be much of a problem if the movie was more action and the music came at the side. But the movie was less action, more court drama. Joker himself had some mischaracterization, mainly involving the ending (which itself was rather stupid). Again, I understand where the movie was coming from in terms of being a musical, but the songs came in at some of the most random and ridiculous times to the point where it became extremely cringy. Also, Harvey Dent was kinda useless too.

The movie did have some good elements. Phoenix and Gaga did a very good job, their acting was fantastic and their chemistry was on point. Visually, the movie looks gorgeous. And lastly, there was also a court scene involving Gary that was easily the best scene in the movie.

As someone who highly approves of the first one, I am disappointed and heartbroken by this movie. They should've let it at the original😔. Thanks for reading.

Discombobulated But Good

I've always had an odd relationship with The Color Purple . I don't care enough to read the book, and some family of mine participated in a community production of the Broadway musical. I do like the original movie, but it's also EXTREMELY annoying due to some of it's subject matters. I saw the remake yesterday, and it of course centers on Celie Harris-Johnson and the struggles she's had throughout her life. The movie is all over the place in terms of it's writing, pacing, and it's music (and considering this was directed by the same idiot behind Black Is King, I am not surprised). Don't get me wrong, it wasn't terrible. But there were times in the movie where I wanted more but got less, and in the times I wanted less, I got more than I would like. A lot of songs from the musical were cut in favor of new songs that weren't so great. The songs from the musical that stayed in the movie were arranged horribly. I also felt that the plot moved pret

Top 10 Signature Songs

You know how an artists has that one song that pretty much defines their career and who they are as an artist? This is a list of those songs. Please keep in mind that just because an artist and their song is on the list doesn’t mean I like the song or the artist (especially the artist). It just means that I acknowledge the impact and importance of the song and/or artist. One song per artist. #10: The Real Slim Shady- Eminem Technically speaking, Lose Yourself is more notable than The Real Slim Shady . But I feel like this song really set the standard on who Eminem is as an artist. He pretty much hit the jackpot when coming up with such an iconic nickname, and Eminem presents it with so much personality, style, rhythm and aggression that it just works. I'm not even sure if it could have as much of an effect on people with someone else in the track. Only Eminem could make it work. Again I have nothing against Lose Yourself , in fact I love that song more than this one. But I feel

Deadpool: Marvel's Favorite Idiot

Deadpool & Wolverine was probably the most anticipated movie of the year. With Disney taking over Fox and Deadpool joining the MCU , the time has finally come for the finishing result. Wade Wilson (portrayed of course by Ryan Reynolds) is offered to be taken out of his dimension in favor of the MCU. The only problem is his dimension is in the process of disintegration after the evens of Logan (😢) and Tom Wambsgans- I mean Mr. Paradox (Matthew Macfadyen) decides to end its misery and destroy it instead of waiting for the inevitable. Obviously this doesn't sit well with Wade, so he turns to a more incompetent version of Wolverine (one deemed the "worst" Wolverine) to help save his dimension. This movie was exactly what a Deadpool movie needs to be, stupid as HELL. Deadpool remains an idiot and his dynamic with Wolverine was very well paced. Reynolds and Hugh Jackman's chemistry was very good and surprisingly very balanced. Both characters had their fair-share of
