The Mummy Film Review By Manya Malhotra

The Mummy Action   1.5 Cast : Tom Cruise, Sofia Boutella, Annabelle Wallis, Jake Johnson, Russell Crowe Director : Alex Kurtzman Story : An Egyptian Princess from ancient times rises from the dead to complete an unfinished deed . Thus creating havoc in the lives  of countless innocents . Review :  As I re-evaluate the genre of this film I feel it should be changed from action to disgusting because that is exactly what this movie was in many parts. We are not interested in seeing mummies suck out human souls and the turning of their crooked body parts as they awaken from the dead. If we wanted to see that we would have seen a C-grade horror movie, oh wait, that is exactly what we were doing. This film moves at an awkward pace. Sometimes if you shut your eyes even for a minute you would have missed so much and sometimes if you leave the cinema to buy popcorn and come back ten minutes later( yes I did that) you feel like nothing has happened and the film had...

Wonder Woman Film Review By Manya Malhotra

Wonder Woman Fantasy 3.5 Cast : Gal Gadot , Chris Pine Director : Patty Jenkins Story : Born and brought up in the land of the Amazons, Princess Diana seizes  the opportunity to go to the real world and save the people   from a blood thirsty war raging there. Review : The days are gone of the woman being the damsel in distress!  Now it's the man who takes the backseat while the woman wonderfully ( pun intended) locks horns with the bad guys. The film starts off with a back story to Diana's life explaining where she came from and what she believes in . wonder woman takes an exciting turn only once she reaches the real world.Her vulnerableness and innocence has been portrayed well by the makers . However ,all superhero (or heroine ) films are garnished with quips and that's what makes the  film so entertaining to watch! Wonder Woman is behind in that department and lacks  the occasional verbal showdown between the villain and the protagonis...

Pirates of the Caribbean : Dead men tell no tales film review by Manya Malhotra

Pirates of the Caribbean : Dead men tell no tales    Action 3 Cast: Johnny Depp, Kaya Scodelario  , Brenton Thwaites Director :Joachim Ronning and Espen Sandberg Story :Carina Smyth , Henry Turner and Jack Sparrow are all searching for the trident of Poseidon for different reasons . During their quest ,they encounter the wrath of a half - dead man and an old nemesis .Will they succeed ? Review : Pirates of the Caribbean : Dead men tell  no tales is like being on a ship where you experience sea sickness at times but then when a thrill wave comes your way you are soaked in  exuberance. Some scenes in the film are quite amusing (we have Johnny Depp to thank for that ),and they bring in laughs .(watch out for Jack Sparrow 's entry scene ) . But in the attempt to be funny,  the makers overdo it and  some supposedly funny scenes miss the mark. Once the crew finds the ship ,they seem to reach their destination(which  I won't reveal , ...
