Luke Cage: Season 2 - Review

I recently watched the second season of Luke Cage on Netflix. I had been disappointed with the first season. I thought that the first season was painfully slow, focused more on highlighting the culture of Harlem than anything else. I also found the villains, Cottonmouth and Diamondback to be rather boring. I thought the second season was a great improvement over the first. In this season, we have a Luke Cage who is much more comfortable with the role of a hero. The pace was picked up a bit. Although part of the problem is the Netflix pace in general. I'm currently watching Agents of SHIELD and I much prefer the faster pace of that series to the slower pace of all the Marvel Netflix series. I also liked the villain Bushmaster in this season much better. I call him the villain, even though he is not the real villain of the season. That would require some spoilers. I will say that there were some nice fight scenes between Bushmaster and Luke Cage. It is difficult to find villains

Thor Ragnarok - Review

I didn't get a chance to see Thor Ragnarok in the theatre but I was really looking forward to seeing it when it was available for home release. There was so much that looked good. It had a Thor and Hulk team-up. It had Cate Blanchett and Karl Urban playing the villains. It included a mix of mythology and science fiction. And I knew that it did very well at the theatres. I will admit that I was quite disappointed once I saw it. The basic storyline was good. I liked the concept of Hela taking over Asgard and Thor needing to return from a distant planet where he was forced to fight as a gladiator. But it was the execution that was the problem. Ragnarok tried too hard to be funny. I like humour as much as anyone and I understand DC has been criticized for being too dark and Marvel has had success with a lighter tone. But to me, Ragnarok almost felt more like a parody of superhero movies rather than a superhero movie with touches of humour. I didn't mind Jeff Goldblum'

Stranger Things: Season 2 - Review

I really enjoyed the first season of Stranger Things. Not only did I love the story, I was not much older than those kids at that time in the 1980s. I was looking forward to the second season, but didn't jump into it because I was watching plenty of other shows. I finally watched the first episode of the second season. It was okay but it didn't really grab me. In fact it was a couple of months later before I watched the second episode. However, as the story developed, I got more into it. The 1980s charm was as powerful as ever. But it was more than that. I really enjoyed the story and the character development. I liked the new characters and what they did with the previous characters. This was especially true with Eleven. At first I wasn't sure what to make of her side-trip to Chicago. But it all made sense by the end of the season. I found the final battle with the shadow monster to be quite satisfying. In fact I liked the ending of this season better than the firs
