Halfway through July already, crazy. Had a very busy week watching films, lots of marvel and lots of Adam Sandler, not much new content to watch in the coming week so let's hope there's some great summer content just around the corner.

The original Thor from 2011, making Chris Hemsworth as well as Thor himself a household name. It still holds up pretty strongly and I think it may be the best in his quadrilogy, although I can understand why people believe Ragnarok to be the best. But this is funny, action packed, full of dutch angles thanks to Kenneth Branagh behind the camera, and the production design is spot on to show off a lavish Godly lifestyle and incredible scenery all around with the rainbow bridge, Jotunheim and much more than we had seen in the MCU before. It's great!

Thor 2 is widely considered one of, if not the worst movie in the MCU but yknow what, it's actually not too bad. Especially after Love and Thunder

Released back in 2017, Thor's third outing is widely considered a huge improvement on his first two movies in the MCU, however I've never really been the biggest fan. Sure I can have fun with it now, and it features some great moments and humour during this phase of the MCU but ultimately I still prefer the first two Thor films and I'm sorry not sorry. Taika Waititi brings a bit of flare to this film but it's still a bit too wishy washy for me and lacks cohesiveness with many actors being able to ad lib whenever they like. It shows.

Thor's back for the first time since Endgame, this time Taika Waititi returns to the directors chair and i hate it. Ironic for a film with love in the title, I did anything but love this one. It's a messy rom com with far too many jokes to take anything seriously, and far too many bad jokes to make it worthwhile as a comedy. Everything about it is colossally bad, its almost impressive but seriously what are Marvel doing? In cinemas now, don't bother watching.

Double episode day, this is just a quick lil roundup of the first week that July has thrown our way. Not a lot of excitement and one incredibly disappointing Marvel movie that might be the worst they've produced yet, and Morbius came out just a few months ago so well done Marvel. Well done. Anyway have a great next week and watch plenty!

Why did I watch this film, why did I review this film, and why is this film making so much money. I don't think I've ever seen a film with such a paper thin plot before as I have with this. It's ridiculously shallow and annoying and stupid and rubbish but hey Thor 4 makes it look incredible so maybe it's not so bad in hindsight.

Minions. Released in 2015. Inbetween despicable me 2 and 3, a movie about Minions. Enjoy

One of the biggest shows on Netflix recently showcased it's epic 2 part finale to season 4, and so here's my take on how Stranger Things season 4 went down. Biggest takeaway is that while it's extremely well made and the budget is utilised strongly, the episodes are too long. If edited differently then perhaps it would've felt stronger but yeah they're way too long, especially a 2 hour 22 minute finale when this isn't even the final season. So despite there being some issues, it's still a very decent scary good time, so check it out on Netflix now!

As we are halfway through 2022, I've decided to do a quick little top ten list and give my recommendations on what to look out for across the next half of the year. Top films should come as no surprise to anyone but still enjoy my take on the year so far! And a prediction for the rest of the year is that my current number one will remain exactly the same. Mark. My. Words.
