Chuck's Movie Breakdown

        Hey guys, Chuck here. Well, I recently picked up a popular DC Comics animated series from my childhood: Superman: The Animated Series . And now that I've watched through every episode of this series, I thought I'd give my thoughts on it.            So, Superman: The Animated Series , which aired as part of the Kid's WB block from 1996 to 2000, was produced by Bruce Timm and Paul Dini, who had previous success earlier in the '90s with Batman: The Animated Series , which aired on Fox Kids. The series opens with the three-parter "The Last Son of Krypton," which establishes the origins of Superman from his infancy on Krypton, his childhood and teen years in Smallville, and his eventual life in Metropolis as both Daily Planet reporter Clark Kent and as the costumed hero Superman. One really interesting detail that was exclusive to this series it that the artificial intelligence Brainiac was given a Kryptonian origin as well, and it sh...

         Hey guys, Chuck here. Well, we're just a couple of months away from the release of Matt Reeves' upcoming film The Batman , and I have one more Batman film that I have to discuss. However, this movie is so heinously bad, that I needed to be in a mindset to just go full-on fanboy rage fest all over the film. And I am most definitely in that mindset as I write this review. So, brace yourselves dear readers, as we delve into the 1997 Joel Schumacher film Batman & Robin . While Chris O'Donnell returned as Dick Grayson/Robin, George Clooney takes over as Bruce Wayne/Batman, and is easily the worst actor to have portrayed Batman.           So, this movie has three villains in it. The first villain we meet is Mr. Freeze, played by Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is ripping off the largest diamonds in Gotham in order to build a freezing engine. We actually learn that Freeze has a tragic past, as he was once renowned scientist Dr. Vic...

        Hey guys, Chuck here. Well, I've rested up, and so it's time to get back into reviewing movies. And today, I'm diving back into a world that's as near and dear to my heart today as it was twenty years ago: Pokémon. More specifically, I'm taking a look at the 2017 film Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You! . Released in 2017, this marked the first Pokémon movie since 2001's Pokémon 3: Spell of the Unown  to get a theatrical release in the United States, courtesy of NCM Fathom Events. So, as a long time fan, what did I think of this one? Let's dig into this movie and find out.           So, the movie starts off, just as the Indigo League season of the anime did, with Ash Ketchum getting ready to be given his first Pokémon partner by Professor Oak. Unfortunately, because he slept in, he arrives late, and all three starters of Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur have been taken. So, Professor Oak offers another Pokémon: a very stubbo...
