Rant on Game of Thrones spoilers

finally done with GoT Season 6 and
holy shiet! 
the last 2 episodes are the best in the series so far!

but my enjoyment of the series is greatly reduced because the internet are spoiling everything because of those rabid fans.....

it feels like if you don't watch it on D-Day
you're screwed
totally screwed, mate

I really hate the people who'd be like "Please do not spoil it for me!" 
and after they watch it

they spoil everything on the internet!

and they’d be like
"it's your own fault, why don't you watch on D-Day too?"
People have their own lives and not all of them have the spare time like you, you spoilery cunts!

people invest their time to watch it.. and so does the writers who put so much effort to make twist and turns of the stories!

if you already know something is happening in the story, 
it feels like that you already lost the element of surprise!

the element of surprise is what makes people who can't stand spoilers (like me) feels engaged and immersed with the story

so what's my point with all these rants about spoilers?

please be considerate to others who haven't watch it

if you have watched it, and you feel that you need someone to discuss about it. just discuss with the person who already watched it instead
I don't need to know your reaction of the twist or someone's death on a series

if you feel so inclined to make a reaction make a reaction video out of it and upload it to youtube!
it's a thing on Youtube nowadays!

okay guys, that was my rant on Game of Thrones spoilers



for those who did enjoy the series without spoiling 
good for you 
for those who spoil it well this picture is for you

Batman v Superman - Spoiler talk

Before we started, I'm more a Batman person than Superman person. So you know which team I am in right now. hahaha
This is a spoiler talk, so if you don't want to get spoiled or you don't mind about it, you have been warned!
My non-spoiler review that this movie is not as bad as the reviewers says about it, but it's not as good as the fanboy says about it. But it's entertaining to watch! if you haven't watched it, go watch it!

So let's dive into it shall we?


This movie opens up with the obligatory Bruce Wayne's parents death scene, and then it jumps to the scene in Man of Steel where Superman fights Zod on Metropolis and destroys like 80% of the city.
I think Superman is going to be an overpowered unlock-able character in Rampage game (I loved that game seriously haha)

So Bruce Wayne rushed into the Metropolis and told the PIC on his office to evacuate all the employee on the building. But when Bruce arrived there, it was too late...
He saw his office building crumbling because of Superman's laser eye

Before we continue let's compare one small thing here.
Here's the difference between normal human and Bruce Wayne

Normal People
>building is falling down
>runs away from the falling building

Bruce Wayne
>his office building is falling down
>he runs INTO the building because he wants to save his employee

Badassery and selflessness we saw there, ladies and gentlemen!

After that, he saw his employee's feet getting crushed by steel while screaming "I can't feel my legs"
and he saw one of little girl who wants to meet her mom in the office, and he holds her right in the time before the debris dropped onto her.
and he said "where's your mommy? Don't worry, I'll find her"
and she cried while pointing to the wrecked building. Her mom obviously didn't survive that.
And he holds her while menacingly looking at Superman & Zod's fight.

"I swear to god, I will make you bleed, Superman!"

that

was a good opening scene!


in here we can see Batman's reason to fight Superman. Many people died because of his fight with Zod.

and then we switch to Lois Lane getting somewhere in, I dunno, middle-east location *I forgot* lol.
And she was kinda hold hostage and apparently it was a setup by the CIA to frame Superman. Superman saved Lois Lane, again.

and then some lovey dovey scene between Clark Kent and Lois Lane.of course it is censored here in Indonesia haha

tbh Superman's part of story was not really interesting to me haha

And after some exposition and political issues on Superman's presence in the Earth, we finally introduced to Lex Luthor, I watched Christopher Reeve's Superman and watched a few episodes of Smallville when I was a kid, But I know for sure, this is a very different Lex Luthor that we used to know. He is not a corporate bastard anymore (well he is in this movie, but less corporate vibe here) He is kind of a psychotic/spastic/OCD/atheist main antagonist now. Many people said that he is a miscast, but honestly I'm okay with this Lex Luthor. A breath of fresh air.  

 
u mad bro?

He proposed to the Senator to asks for permission to import the Kryptonite to his lab in order to make a "deterrent" to the Kryptonian aka Superman

We switched to Bruce Wayne again, he is currently looking for "White Portuguese" which he believes that he has the weapon that must be stopped. or that what's he told us/Alfred so we believe that he is into something completely different with the story. But later on Alfred knows that Bruce is after something big, which is killing Superman with Kryptonite!
Btw, this Alfred is the best sassy/sarcastic Alfred ever! He delivers some sarcastic one-liner that made me laugh through out the Movie.

 
"I'm not great at the advice, Can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?"

And then we switched to Lois Lane again that apparently found that the bullet that pierced her note is not registered everywhere, and she looked everywhere to find where the hell does that bullet came from. Later on, she found out that the bullet is made by Lexcorp.
and my question is, so what? That bullet can't hurt Superman. does that really matter here?

Bruce Wayne suspected that Lex Luthor could be the White Portuguese that he's been looking for, and he wanted to sneak in to Lex's house as Batman, but Alfred was like
"nah bro! you don't need to, just go there, here's an invitation to the event in there"
and he goes there to hack the computer to get some encrypted information from Lex Luthor's house. And he met Clark Kent there, and he was interviewed by Clark Kent. and he asked 
"Bruce Wayne, what's your position on Batman vigilante?"
and Bruce was like 
"bruh, seriously?"

at that scene, Clark Kent already suspects Bruce Wayne as Batman, because he can hear the communication between Alfred and Bruce from Bruce's earpiece. Alfred told that the data transfer is already completed. so yeah, he runs to the computer room, but he can't find it there, and he saw outside, and there's a mysterious woman who took it from him. and she runs away with Bruce's hard drive.

later on, Lex Luthor's request to the senator regarding the kryptonite import was rejected. and he threatens the senator about it.
Lex Luthor is very menacing on this scene!

later on, Bruce Wayne manages to find the mysterious girl who stole his hard drive, apparently she is looking a photo of her on that Lex Luthor's computer. she told him that she put the hard drive on his car. 
That scene with that mysterious woman, reminds me of Catwoman and Bruce Wayne scene in The Dark Knight Rises. 

After he arrived at the batcave, he decrypts the data that he got. While decrypting it, Bruce fell asleep.

Ok, honestly this is the part where it goes, WTF happened!?

this part is a setup to the Justice League. If you don't know Justice League, it's an equivalent of Avengers to the Marvel universe

I think this part is kinda out of place since it doesn't add up anything to the story, and it runs around 15-20 mins. This could be better if this was a trailer to the Justice League. better not shown at all at this movie.

Bruce finally woke up and found that white portugese was a ship, not a person. And he rushed himself to go there. He placed a tracer to the container that contains the Kryptonite. I dunno why he have to chase it after he placed the tracer. but who cares, there's a smokin' sick badass car chase scene between Batman and Lex Luthor's thugs! 

and then, I don't know why, suddenly Superman showed up and stopped Batman and tear his batmobile apart. 
It just doesn't make sense here, it looks like that he is protecting Lex, and why did he suddenly told Batman "Turn off the batsignal, your bat days are over, consider this as a warning!"

like
why??

what's the reason he tell that to Batman?
and then Batman replies with that epic line, yes, that epic line


It IS a badass line, 
but still, it doesn't make any sense, why would Superman say that to Batman. 

and finally Bruce Wayne found out that the Kryptonite is stored at the Lexcorp's HQ.

And then Superman finally get summoned to the court to be questioned about his motives when he fought crime and saving people, does that act was on his own will or based on government's will. 

Lex Luthor set things up to frame Superman by blow the shit out of that courthouse. after that, Lex Luthor went back to his company, and he found out that his Kryptonite is stolen by Batman. 

Finally we came down to the moment of truth, Batman v Superman, yay!

Batman already set things up in Gotham, he made a spear out of Kryptonite in order to kill Superman. The thing is, 
Superman still have no reason to fight Batman until now, but Lex Luthor wants to made him fight Batman. 
First thing first, he kidnapped Lois Lane and push her out of her building, and Superman saved her, again,
and then he told Superman that he got Superman's mother kidnapped, if Superman didn't bring Batman's head to him in 1 hour, Superman's mom will die!

I find it kind of weird, Lex and Batman didn't cooperate on this, but why did he know that Batman is going to fight Superman at that exact day? I know that he set up to provoke Batman by using his ex-employee that loses both of his legs since that superman incident 2 years ago, Lex didn't know about Superman who told Batman to turn off his batsignal. And now Batman turning on his signal to call Superman to fight, isn't that weird? how did Lex know about all this? 

So both of them finally have the reason to fight each other. and you know what, Batman kicks ass here, and when he almost deliver the final blow to Superman while holding the Kryptonite spear, 
Superman shouts to him, 
"You're going to let them kill Martha!"
and to Batman's surprise, he replies 
"WHY DO YOU SAY THAT NAME!?"
and Lois Lane told him that it is her mother's name. 

It's a good coincidence that their mother shares the same first name, my dad was confused at first and he told me that "What, they're brothers?" that could have been the best plot twist ever in 2K16

and then Batman throws the spear and didn't kill Superman, and he promises Superman to save Martha for him and he will deal with Lex by himself.

at this time I was like
wow 
they're bros now,
their fight ended just like that.
if only Superman manages to tell him sooner before they fight, there won't be any fight between them, and this movie title would be very misleading hahahahaha
you know this conflict is actually can be avoided if they talked things through before they fight, but that won't please any comic book fans, we want to watch our biggest nerd wet dream by looking at two iconic superhero from DC comics smash each other! 

later on, Batman saves Martha, and yes he is very badass, my friend told me that that scene was like the Arkham Knight style of fighting. I have to play it if I can. 


Superman meets Lex, and Lex created Doomsday on Zod's ship

oh I forgot to mention something's bothering me

in the first act of the movie, Lex cuts zod's fingerprint and in the last act of the movie he brought Zod's body to the ship. And he used that fingerprint that he cut in the first act to enter ship

why did he do that? why doesn't he just use Zod's hand to enter the ship? it's really inconvenient for him to be honest. 

And Doomsday fights Superman, and Superman brought him to the atmosphere, and for some military reason, they decided to NUKE Superman and Doomsday there. 

I mean,


why should they do that? they think the casualties would be only Superman, but it IS still on earth, and that nuke will have some serious radiation contamination on the atmosphere. and apparently President of America agreed to launch that nuke, 
wow
can you remind me again that we have global warming issues right now?
hahaha

but who cares about that, as long as we see flashy fight amirite?

Doomsday falls into the earth, and superman floats on the atmosphere

Batman says that Doomsday is a kryptonian, so the thing that only be used to kill him is Kryptonite.

this is where things gets so out of hand on this movie

After Batman and Superman's fight, Lois Lane threw away the Kryptonite spear to the pond. 
Yes, she was like "yeah, that thing is dangerous for my bae, I just throw 'em out on this pond!"

and when Batman says that, Lois Lane wanted that spear back, 

"oh may gawd, my bae's besties needs this spear to defeat that thing, better take that spear out of from that pond!"


Superman returns from the atmosphere and suddenly Wonder Woman showed up, yes apparently that mysterious woman was Wonder Woman all along!

and the three of them, oh no, 2 of them (Batman can't fight Doomsday head on since he is too stronk!) fight Doomsday

while fighting Doomsday, Lois Lane was trapped on the pond because there's a debris that falls on to the pond, and thankfully Superman hears her almost died there.

and Superman saves her, again, for the n-th time. goddammit lane, she's nothing but a damsel on distress!


Superman sacrifices himself by lounges the spear on Doomsday heart, and Doomsday stabbed him. And the result is

double KO!


both of them dies..
yes

Superman is dead! 


another thing that bothers me, why didn't Superman asked Wonder Woman to stab Doomsday with the kryptonian spear while he hold Doomsday? Superman's death could be avoided!


Lex finally got bald in the prison, and Batman warns him that he always look for him if he did something bad again. 

Right at the end of the movie, we saw Superman's coffin there's some pebbles are lifting, and yeah...
he is not dead...


whew

that was a long ass post that I write there,

here's the tl;dr version

The good
  1.  A good cinematography, and well directed shots, intense and awesome fighting/car chase scene
  2. Ben Affleck is the best BatmanAt first, I have doubt that he will be a good Batman, but he is indeed the best thing from this movie, he gives his best for this role! and yes he is the most brutal Batman ever.About the "no-killing" policy which what makes Batman is Batman, he totally killed a lot of thugs in this movie, but he mentioned to Alfred that he didn't think that he is a hero. "We're criminals, Alfred, we always are!" I know Batman should be a morally conflicted character since he is a borderline between a hero and a criminal, but in this movie, he clearly stated that they are criminals, so I'm totally okay with this brutal Batman who killed thugs.
  3. Hans Zimmer's score! Especially when Wonder Woman shows up!


The Bad
  1. As you can see on this post, yes, the plot is a scatter mess and didn't really linked up to one and another. So much things happened in this movie!
  2. They tried to set up the Justice League, but it seems like out of place and context in the movie, they should have made a post credit scene or make a trailer out of it
  3. Lack of character development: especially Superman, his character is still the same on Man of Steel
  4. Lois Lane : welp, she is a damsel in distress who did some stupid things and tries to be relevant to the plot. and she did almost nothing to the story
  5. Lex Luthor's motive to hate Superman is unclear. Is there any particular reason why he hates Superman so much in this movie? I don't think so 

I honestly entertained watching this movie despite of the flaws and the problem on this movie, it could have been better. One thing for sure, this movie is much more watchable than Transformers : Age of Extinction. 


okay guys, this is the end of the post, I hope you enjoyed this long ass spoiler talk on this movie

Thanks for reading!

Star Wars Episode VII - The Force Awakens - Spoiler Review Talk

Okay, this post is going to contain full spoiler review talk from this movie, if you want my non-spoiler review, you can click it here

If you haven't watched it and still reading this, you have been warned!


So Star Wars Episode VII The Force Awakens opens up with the title screen
(me and my girlfriend was squealing when watching the title exposition lol)
and it states that Luke Skywalker is missing.

When I saw that line, I was thinking to myself.
"Oh crap! What happened? Is he going to be evil in this movie?"
But we'll get there later

The story opens up with Poe, which is the best Rebellion pilot (yeah the movie told us so and it was true, All of it!), getting a map that contains Luke Skywalker's whereabouts and he put that map in to his Droid, BB-8 and he told BB-8 to run away from that place and bring back the map to the Rebellion base.

At this point, I was like "Yes, this is familiar, I've seen this on Episode IV"

And then we encounter the First Order that blasted through the place. And we see our main Antagonist here, Kylo Ren!

I really like this reveal seriously, He is just menacingly killed everybody on the camp. And the most epic moment when Kylo Ren stopped a laser blast with the Force. That scene there blew my mind and made my jaw dropped. My god he is a badass!

and later on Poe got captured by the First Order.

I really like the scene where there's a stormtrooper dying because he got shot and he tries to reach another stormtrooper while dying and his blood just marked his friend's helmet. And we can see humanity side of Stormtrooper for awhile.

And it was revealed that the stormtrooper that has been marked with blood was Finn, our main character (or that's what we believed in because the trailer cues that)

and then we switched to Rey, the other main character! She is a scavenger and she lives on a Jakku, a desert planet (which I initially thought that it was Tattooine, but it wasn't)

After Rey's brief introduction, we see that Poe is getting tortured by Kylo Ren to get information about the map (which finally he get the information)

Later on, Poe was saved by Finn and both of them escaped from the First Order ship and get shot and crash landed on Jakku.

At that scene, Finn and Poe feels like a true bro who helped each other and mind you that it's the first 5-6 minutes of the movie and we can see a better bro relationship than Anakin and Obi-Wan in the prequel did on the Episode II and III. *seriously tho hahaha


Finn believes that Poe didn't survive the crash and he walked and met Rey.
They got attacked by the First order and they try to escape it while bringing BB-8 together and look for a spaceship and Finn and Rey's conversation was like
"Hey can you pilot that thing?"
"Yes I can"
"How about that one?"
"That one is garbage!"(at that scene I was like, "I think I know what ship that you were refer as garbage")
And a ship that they headed got destroyed and Rey was like
"The garbage will do"
damn that scene was hilarious.XD

And the garbage was of course The Millenium Falcon! And then an awesome dog fight scene. I really liked Finn and Rey's chemistry during this dog fight scene.

And then we met Han Solo and Chewbacca (This scene makes me emotional for a sec, damn it's really good to see them back)

Okay, let's talk about Kylo Ren, He is revealed that he is Han Solo's and Leia's son. And that makes me feel like "OMG! This is going to be a family matter again".

And we see that Kylo Ren is actually not a Sith Lord, I should have noticed it because there's no Darth title on him. But Snoke (which looks awfully similar like Gollum from The Lords of The Rings) didn't have Darth title as well. I'm not really sure what happened and this plot hole bothers me and I hope they will explain it in the next movies.

It wasn't explained in detail but Luke Skywalker trained some people to be a Jedi and some of his apprentice betrayed him and it makes everything wrong. And we can assume that traitor was Kylo Ren and he was seduced by the Dark Side. Before this plot point was revealed, I was thinking
"Is this some kind of trend? A Jedi Master goes to exile and hide in the unknown planet."
But Luke's action makes sense, because Kylo Ren is Han Solo's and Leia's Son, He feels ashamed that he couldn't trained Kylo Ren better and failed them as a friend and as a Jedi Master. He feels guilty about it.

Kylo Ren is also still young and haven't finished his training as a Sith. We can see that when he tries to get the information from Rey. Because she fights back by using the Force and he couldn't do anything about it.

We can also see him having a dilemma of him about going back to the light side. That kind of struggle makes me think that "Damn, Anakin's dilemma should be executed like this"

I think people will start comparing him to Darth Vader and the fact that he loses to someone who never fights using light saber before will make people say "Man, Kylo Ren is lame"
but hear this
Kylo Ren is neither a fully trained Jedi nor Sith, So I find his lack of skill is not disturbing (see what I did there? lol)
While Darth Vader, he was almost a Jedi Master (even Obi-Wan himself acknowledged his skills), and he have fought countless battle during the Clone Wars.
So I can see potential of Kylo Ren's character development in the next 2 episodes.

And now let's talk about Rey. My god this girl is a badass! In the trailer, we saw that Finn is going to be the main character and he is going to be a Jedi. But it wasn't! It was Rey all along!

(I really loved that Trailer because it didn't reveal any plot points)

She is Force sensitive, and I really like her natural Jedi Ability and she might be a better Jedi Master than Luke someday. She used the Jedi Mind Trick on the Stormtrooper when she was captured (which people next to me thought that she was reading the stormtrooper's mind, yeah, I facepalmed at that too)
even though it takes 2-3 times before she manages to pull it off.

And I really love that scene where Kylo Ren is trying to pull the lightsaber by using the Force and it pans out and BAM! the lightsaber flew through him and Rey holding up the lightsaber. My god that scene makes me thrill seriously!

And there's this scene that shocks me, when Kylo Ren (or Ben Solo) killed his father.
And that scene feels like Game of Thrones, where it was emotionally touching at first, but then that person just get ruthlessly murdered.
When I watched that, I froze because I was too shocked!
I can't even feel mad about the fact that Ben killed Han Solo!
And Chewbacca was like "YOU BASTARD!" and he shot Ben from the distance and he managed to shot him which makes Kylo Ren during the final fight beating his chest to endure the pain.

damn I didn't really see that coming
Apparently Han Solo's death scene was spoiled on the internet before this movie came out, but I managed to avoid it because I decided to signed out from the Internet before I watched the movie. And boy I'm glad that I did

After Kylo Ren is defeated, Snoke was like, "Bring him to me, I will complete his training"
Ok, the next movie, he is going to be more badass *hopefully*

After that, Rey goes to the planet where Luke Skywalker is hiding, and she showed the lightsaber to him and..... the movie ends!

and that makes me wanted to see more of this movie! Seriously! This is a very well directed movie that has  great script and very engaging story telling! It's awesome! I really can't wait to watch the next episode! XD

Okay that's it guys, Hope you enjoyed my spoiler review (or rambling to be precise), If you are a Star Wars fan, this movie is a MUST WATCH! XD
