CREED II movie review

Adonis Creed (Michael B. Jordan) takes on a new opponent which happens to be Viktor Drago, the son of the person who killed his father in a match, Ivan Drago. Creed also enters a new chapter in life as a father and gets a lot going on when he was first defeated in an initial match with Drago.

Tessa Thompson gave more importance in his life as his wife and bearer of their daughter which made Creed grounded. Creed is a very familiar story especially for families with boxers in it. Phylicia Rashad, playing Creed's mother and Tessa, shares the same worries as he accepted the fight despite he is an expecting father and trying to recover from a severe injury in a previous fight.

But he thought he already met hell but his training under Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) is sure harder. To take on Drago, he has to go through another level of hardships and training. The workout is really something and a #fitspiration.

Creed II is now showing in cinemas from Warner Bros. Pictures.

THE GRINCH movie review

Illumination's The Grinch provides a heartwarming story on how you will look at Christmas again.
With the amazing animation of Dr. Seuss' classic, The Grinch submits great visual and songs that give a festive glow on each child's faces and to their parents. A perfect holiday movie that you will love and inspire you on why Christmas has the way to give everyone joy.
Dr. Seuss also gave Mr. Grinch (voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch) a backstory on why he hated Christmas so much and developed a sequence to understand him. He made the Grinch a lovable character with shortcomings and issues but deep inside has a pure heart.
Watch The Grinch only in cinemas this November 28. Directed by Ron Howard under Illumination.

Bohemian Rhapsody movie review

Queen's biopic should not be missed. This generation should know and learn from the life of Freddie Mercury, more than his music that connected the world for decades.
Aside from the resonating hits like Somebody to Love, Bohemian Rhapsody, Bicycle Race and more, we are given stories behind each song, putting Queen grounded and inspiring us to be true and fight for what we dream and love. Rami Malek's performance on Freddie Mercury is so candid that you'll imagine FM being alive again. From the hair to the clothes and mannerisms, I think he nailed it!
Freddie Mercury is a hero and a legend not just in music but in life. Though he has shortcomings to the people around him, he still managed to accept himself and be humble towards them to regain their affection and love. His songs have connected to everyone deeply that's why his story can relate to us in any point in our lives.

And during the Live Aid performance, I felt that I've had to jump on my seat and sing along and join the crowd like every Queen song is an anthem for the world. I was teary watching every moment of the concert unfold and the feeling is surreal. Watch it below.

You can find the sing-along version of Bohemian Rhapsody in theaters now. Distributed by 20th Century Fox.

FANTASTIC BEASTS: CRIMES OF GRINDELWALD movie review

Following the Fantastic Beasts franchise is the Crimes of Grindelwald opening today in cinemas.
The movie itself it a visual spectacle and if you see in IMAX, there are some elements that amazingly float from the aspec ratio of the screen. It gives you a larger-than-life visual of than the other films in the universe created by JK Rowling. The imagery and special effects are quite remarkable for Fantastic Beasts 2.

We again meet Newt's friendly beasts and introduced to new ones that made it more magical. The water horse was grand and the Chinese dragon dog was enchanting but dangerous. It is also amazing to know the origins of Nagini and how she came connected to the story and how she is rather good than evil in the Harry Potter movies is quite interesting.
However, the story has a lot of plots which I think made The Crimes of Grindelwald very complicated. I also got confused and need to check all Wizarding World references but following the story while watching it is easy for me. Good thing they provided origin stories that will assist yo us why the characters appear as they are. There are also unexpected rise and fall of emotions makes you think if you want it to be part even.
Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is the second of 5 movies in the Fantastic Beasts franchise. Check it in a cinema near you today.
