    Super (2010)

    Rating: 3 out of 5.

    A movie about a man who loses everything and decides to become a superhero—not to save the world, but to cling to some psychologically twisted, desperate hope that what happened to him wasn’t real. That maybe, just maybe, if he fights hard enough, he can take it all back.

    Driven by a mess of emotions—religious beliefs, depression, rage, boredom, and just the slightest hint of psychopathy—Super isn’t your typical hero origin story. It’s dark, unsettling, and at times, painfully real. I’d even say it outdoes Kick-Ass in terms of realism. While Kick-Ass was all about proving that an ordinary person could make a difference, Super takes a different route. It doesn’t try to be inspiring—it just shows a man spiraling, grasping at purpose through violence, no matter how misguided.

    It’s brutally graphic, but that’s part of the point. There’s no sugarcoating anything here—people bleed, people die, and people dream of being more than they are. Whether or not that dream is worth chasing is another story entirely. If you’re into films that explore the thin line between heroism and delusion, this one’s worth watching.

    The end is coming. Can humanity stop it? And more importantly—how many times have we already tried?

    Losing a loved one is devastating. Knowing they’re still alive but trapped somewhere out of reach? Even worse.

    This 3D animated gem is definitely better than the first—and I’m here for it. The animation, as always, is stunning. The mix of past and present elements is spot on, and while I’m not totally sure what to call the relationships (maybe “young love” or just a little romance?), it was sweet. I was grinning through the whole movie, especially when I got to admire the gorgeous digital artwork. Even when the movie took a sad turn (which was needed and done really well), I couldn’t help but be amazed by the animation. DreamWorks took a pretty bold step here—usually, it’s Disney pulling the big emotional punches, so I was impressed with the risk they took.

    Visually, the graphics were fantastic, but there were a few little things that could have been smoother. Some textures, like hair and armor, didn’t flow as nicely as the rest of the animation. It felt like they spent so much time on the grand scale—the swooping camera angles, the dynamic glides, the whole “perspective enhancement” for the audience—that they missed out on details like the texture of scales or the way hair moves. Not a dealbreaker, but worth noting.

    The plot was solid, everything made sense, and DreamWorks nailed the balance between excitement, fun, and heart. The mom storyline, though a bit too perfect, didn’t bother me too much because, hey, it’s DreamWorks and they’re aiming for a younger audience.

    Now, let’s talk about the villain—Drago Bloodfist. Sure, he’s the bad guy, but I had one question: Where did he come from? The film does explain his backstory a little, but honestly, I felt like we needed more. When he talks about losing his family to dragons and seeking revenge, I was hoping for a brief flashback to really understand his motivations. Just hearing him say it wasn’t enough for me. It didn’t quite land the way it could’ve.

    But that’s really my only gripe. If you love flying dragon-riders, evolving friendships, and moments that mix laughter with heartache, then this movie is definitely worth a watch. And if you’re not sure? Watch it anyway—it’s awesome.

    Edit: Can we talk about that dragon during the “war” sequence? The one that lit itself on fire and rolled around like a flaming wheel? Seriously, so cool.

    Rampage: Capital Punishment

    Rating: 3 out of 5.

    Wow. I don’t even know where to start with the messages in this film.

    Bill Williamson, the protagonist, is fed up—with the U.S. government, political corruption, systemic inequality, and the way the rich manipulate the law while the poor keep getting crushed. He doesn’t just say these things; he forces you to see them. His argument? That the government isn’t just influenced by money—it’s owned by it. Money is the law, and the system is rigged to keep power in the hands of the elite. Bill doesn’t just rant; he rewires your perspective on America—past, present, and future.

    And how does he deliver this message? By hijacking a news broadcast and unleashing an unfiltered, brutal manifesto. He tears into everything: healthcare, oil companies, war, political hypocrisy (calling out presidents like Washington and Obama), child casualties, and even pop culture distractions. It’s like he’s screaming every suppressed truth people have whispered about for decades.

    The film’s production? Solid but not groundbreaking. The action is standard—explosions, gunfights, nothing revolutionary—but honestly, I didn’t care. The message was too gripping to focus on technical flaws. Maybe they could’ve fleshed out Bill’s backstory more, but since this might tie into the first movie (which I haven’t seen), I’ll cut it some slack. Plus, the actor nailed the role—his intensity, his delivery, even his look was perfect. Character score: +1.

    Now, his methods? Absolutely extreme. But ask yourself: Would anyone have listened if he’d protested peacefully? How much do you really care about change? How far would you go to make it happen? Bill doesn’t just talk—he dares you to act. And while I didn’t agree with everything he said (let’s be clear, I’m not signing up for his manifesto), his arguments hit hard. As someone who already thinks about these issues, this movie was exactly what I needed.

    Fair warning: It’s violent. Bloody. Uncomfortable. But that’s the point—it’s supposed to shake you. If you can’t handle gore, harsh truths, or the sound of gunfire, skip it. But if you’re tired of sugarcoated lies and want a film that rages against the machine? Watch this.

    Based on the acclaimed novel (which many say outshines the film), The Giver explores a world eerily similar to The Hunger Games and Divergent—but with a chilling twist. Imagine a society stripped of emotion, art, and even color. A place where people don’t understand love, music, or the vibrancy of a sunset because they’ve never seen it. Worse yet, they don’t even realize what they’re missing.
