Hello Everyone,
Spoiler Alert!!!!!
Well its time for another review. Now I've been reviewing mostly movies but this time I am reviewing a television show. This time I am reviewing the Netflix original series Daredevil season one. For those of you who have seen the series would know that Netflix is posting season two this Friday. So what could be a better way to get ready for season than a review of season one. The reason I am writing about Daredevil is because I wanted to re-watched the first season before they posted season two and I just finished. So I figured this will be a good way to get other people ready for season two. Now let's get started with the review.
Before I watched Daredevil the first time I didn't know too much about the character but I still wanted to watch the show. And the first thing that attracted me to the show since the very first minute was right away they established the character was blind. I always enjoy blind characters because it shows they have to overcome what a lot of people have to overcome; losing one sense. So right away the character has to face and overcome a normal problem that many people have to go through in real life. I also enjoy watching how well the actor portrays a blind character. And that actor that plays Daredevil Charlie Cox does a good job at pretending that he cannot see. I read online that he does work with someone to help playing blind and make sure his eyes do not do anything that a non blind person(s) eyes would do. I also like the blind aspect because none of the other characters would suspect him being Daredevil. Because no one gives a second thought about someone that cannot see.
I also really enjoyed the acting. I think the actors are better in this series than in the Daredevil movie. I just feel the actors in the series are more believable and have their roles down better. But than the writing in the series is also better than the movie. The story is more interesting and captivating to watch. That is the key to having a good show is making sure the writing id strong and that in return will make the acting strong. And the filmmakers of Daredevil did a good job making sure they had a good story thus making the actors able to perform to the best of their ability. One thing to note is that the story is rather dark, but it makes sense because Daredevil is one of the darker heroes. Another thing to point out is that if you think about in the story they created the hero and villain are trying to do the same thing for the city in which they both live. However, they are just on opposite sides of how to make the city a better place thus putting them against one another. Now that's a good story!
Another thing that I enjoyed about the series is that he is never directly called Daredevil nor is he in the Daredevil costumes until the very last episode. Because you know he is Daredevil, you don't need a different character saying the name every episode. And not seeing in the costume til the end make the build up seeing the costume that much sweeter. Like the hero they do the same with the villain as they never address him as Kingpin, they only ever call him Wilson Fisk. Again you he is Kingpin, you don't need it address every episode. Bottom line Daredevil is just a fun series to watch.
Well I hope this review has gotten you excited to watch season two what they posted it tomorrow. Or even to watch or re-watch season one. Until next time!

Deadpool
Hello Everyone,
Spoiler Alert!!!!!
Well now is the time for another review. I know I haven't posted anything new for a few weeks, I just have been busy. But now I found the time to write. This film I was unsure if it was going to be any good and it really surprised me that it was and it was entertaining. I was expecting the lead actor to just really not being good and just really sucked at the role. But he was in fact surprising good in the film. If they make more films based in this character, I will most likely go and see them. So let's get started with the review of Deadpool.
Let's start with the material. Now I don't know that much about Deadpool but from what I already knew and from what I looked up online it does seem to be more authentic to the comics then that awful Wolverine: Origins movie. One way from what I found out is that Deadpool does seem to break the forth wall which is what he does throughout the entire film. That had to be my favorite thing about the film because forth wall breaks make the movie or show that you are watching funnier. Just to be clear for those of you who don't know what a forth wall break is? A forth wall break is when a character looks and speaks directing to the audience. Another way the movie seems to be closer to the comics is the character's backstory and how he becomes Deadpool seems to be right on the market. Which is probably the reason the film has been so successful because it follows the source material with accuracy.
Now speaking on the acting, Ryan Reynolds really surprised me and was good. Especially because we saw in the Wolverine film where he came across as egotistical and just plain stupid. And we all knew about the Green Lantern fiasco I guess is what you can call it. But unlike those films you actually felt bad for the character and really wanted him to win and Ryan Reynolds did a terrific job at portraying the emotions he was supposed to be feeling. Now for all you Firefly fans out there then you should know that they had Inara, herself Morena Baccarin to play Deadpool's love interest. And she was as lovable and badass as she was in Firefly. Her character could really hold her own against Deadpool and also no matter what he looked like she loved him unconditionally. Which was a really good message for the film. All the actors really played their characters well and played off of each other well.
I think the reason the film is so successful and the acting so great is because the movie is well written. Because if the writing is weak then even the best special effects, the best acting etc is not going to make the entire final product any good. This is not the case with Deadpool. The writing is strong and it makes everything else that much better. The film was better then I expected it to be. If you guys do go see it make sure to stay til the end of the credits because there is a fun little scene that will have you laughing before you leave the theater.
