WONDER WOMAN

*I spent three consecutive nights reviewing the Hunger Games films before watching Wonder Woman (yes, andami ko pong time :D). So I sat at the cinema expecting an advocacy film.

I thought the movie started well but once I've seen the action parts I understood why Gal Gadot managed to film while five months pregnant because it is largely effects. Kinulang pati sa acting, cute lang siya ganun.

Plot is not remarkable, the transition seemed hasty and I thought the ending is cheap. Hindi ko talaga alam kung anong sine celebrate nila at kung anong pinaglalaban ni Ateng.

Mukhang women empowerment ang package kay ateng but looking closer ginamit lang siya to cover up the weakness of men. Pinaniwala nila ang lahat na ending the war is her cause but no lovelife pala bes. To add to that, there was no manifestation of respect nor recognition of her contribution during the war, except yung palakpakan sa village.  Ang madalas napapansin ay maganda siya. So ganun pa rin mukha at katawan, the usual ways of marketing women. Secondary palagi ang kakayahan.

Andami kong negative feels sa film na to. Tas iniisip ko magdamag sana Moana na lang lagi. Pero salamat sa aking sponsor at least nakapag-isip ako habang nanunuod :D

SPIDERMAN

*I watched Resident Evil: Final Chapter night before watching Spiderman: Homecoming* Hindi ko po ito sinadya.

Disclaimer:
I watched almost every single Spiderman movie from Tobey Maguire to present. I don't remember in detail the comics version of the story. Hindi ako nagbasa ng kahit ano about this film before watching.

While Amazing Spiderman is great, I didn't expect a lot from the Homecoming because I know It'll be another version from Tobey's and for sure there will be new twists to the story. I tried not to be disappointed haha. Susubukan ko sa abot ng aking makakaya na maging kalma lang sa pagreview haha. I'll insert my SokSay thoughts na din dahil mas nangibabaw ito while watching

So here it goes:
1. The inherent power/ability was taken away from Spidey throughout the story. I understand that they needed to highlight that Tony Stark line but Spidey has his own gift, which was undermined in this film. Pati yung sapot niya parang hindi na biological. Major issue ito sakin bilang "great power comes with great responsibility" haha, which brings me to my 2nd point.

2. Hindi ganun ka responsible si Spidey sa film na ito. He is enjoying his superpowers and wanted to do more but not really understanding what it takes to be a superhero. He wanted to become a superstar and not necessarily a superhero bilang feel na feel niya talagang Avengers siya. *soksay thoughts ON!* Madalas ganun din tayo, we prematurely use our talents and skills because of anxiety; because sometimes we thought only us can save the world.

3. I watched Tom Holland sa The Impossible. Sobra ko siyang nagustuhan dun. Pero bilang Spiderman parang hirap na hirap akong magustuhan siya. Mukhang wag na siyang mag action film, please.

4. Natuwa ako na meron ng friend si Spidey at Asian siya hehe. However, nawalan ng role si Aunt May. Supposedly siya ang takbuhan ni Spidey. This is reflective of today's condition, sometimes we choose to engage people outside the home in facing our concerns and miss out the wisdom our families could offer.

5. I admired Tony Stark all the more sa film na ito. He's mentoring Peter but at the same time allowing him to learn on his own by letting him experience mistakes and failures.

6. Nakakatuwa na hindi masyadong highlighted ang love life dito. Yun lang bow.

7. Mas nakakatuwa na black at mas matangkad sa kanya ang love interest ni Spidey this time. Meaning we are really moving outside the typical idea na ang maganda dapat maputi, blonde etc.

8. Yung costume niya after TS took back his gift, mukhang pajama lang! Eh pinag-aralang mabuti yun ni Spidey after he discovered his ability! Major deviation.

9. Nakakatuwa yung detalyeng nagpapalit siya ng costume. Matagal ko ng gustong makita yun eh. At least sa part na yun taong tao siya.

10. What I really love about Spidey films is the story on how villain character develops. This helps me to become more sensitive to others.

11. May isang twist na sobrang nakakatense. Hindi ko na susulatin para sa mga manunuod na yun :D

12. Generally, maganda naman siya basta hindi particular sa detalye ng Spiderman story. Also, sa mga batang manunuod may mga detalye na posibleng hindi ayon sa inyong values. Mainam na magprocess afterwards.

Spidey will return daw.

KITA KITA

*Fan ako ng local comedy films. Babalu, Redford White, Rene Requestas; patay na sila si Empoy naman. Maikli lang to bilang puro tawa ginawa ko dun.*

1. Babala: nakakapagod ang palabas na ito -physical, emotional, intellectual haha

2. Epektibong komedyante si Empoy. May mga eksenang feeling ko horror film ang pinapanuod ko kasi hindi ko kayang panuorin. Kumain muna bago manuod para may sapat na lakas.

3. Sobrang taas at bilis ng pagdevelop ng emosyon. Kaya ayun, sobrang sakit din.

4. Iniisip ko kung tini take advantage niya si Lea pero naisip ko kahit naman yung mga nakakakita nate-take advantage din

5. Gusto ko yung pagconnect ng kwentong buhay nila sa pagbibilang. Iba iba ang ating karanasan. Yung nakita mo pwedeng hindi niya nakita. Yung naramdaman mo pwedeng hindi niya naramdaman.

6. Nakakabulag ang pag-ibig. Nakakaloko din kahit ayaw mong magpaloko.

7. Nung binalikan niya yung mga 'happy places', nadurog ako dun!

8. Pag bumitaw ka na sa sakit at pait ng nakaraan, makakakita ka na.

Filipino film to, manuod kayo :)
