BETTER THAN WANDAVISION. WAY BETTER.

The show has some hilarious comedy and some chilling drama, and I myself really love shows and movies that are a perfect balance like that. Everyone has their shades of grey and their own justifiable reasons make it a compelling watch. While I had my doubts at the beginning, especially when the trailers were released, but the acting, VFX, action and set pieces make it a great show. Cleverly placed references to the past movies and a dynamic soundtrack that has motifs to each and every character.
The Falcon and the winter soldier never got their solo movies but thanks to the history of our real universe, they needed more than that. Thus, they get a whole miniseries of movies that was not only deserving but packed with real world nuance and realism that involves Marvel Superheroes that still fit everyday life social issues. Bold, exciting and constantly surprising, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is a miniseries well worthy of Captain America 4 status. Rich with intrigue, its themes feed into each other seamlessly and through characters that are charming, likable, distinct, and interesting throughout.
We will see by the end, why Steve chose Sam. A great path for Anthony Mackie lay ahead as the new Cap'n but one well deserved for all the hard work and thoughtful creativity put out by the entire team at Marvel.  This series shows how truly human they are despite being superheroes. I’m really satisfied I sat through this show. Its style and emotional weight is very in tune with the Captain America films and they're my personal favorites of the whole MCU. Regardless of its flaws, I believe Falcon and the Winter Soldier stands proudly beside its cinematic predecessors.
Honestly, I didn't expect the show to be this good but I love the components in the show. The deep perspectives in each character and their development are amazing. Especially Wyatt Russell. We all hate this new captain America but in reality, it's only because he has played his part so well. 
Marvel and director Kari Skogland have paid enormous attention to detail to factor in and extend upon existing storylines like the Thanos Snap and the Zemo-Super Soldier arc, along with topical political crises to deliver a thought-provoking storyline.
Highly Recommended.
My Rating- 7.5/10

The Pianist (2002)

Image
  Starring - Adrien Brody, Emilia Fox, Thomas Kretschmann, Frank Finaly, Ed Stoppard. Directed by - Roman Polanski. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Władysław Szpilman-  “The life of a human being, let alone his personal freedom, is a matter of no importance. But the love of freedom is native to every human being and every nation, and cannot be suppressed in the long term. History teaches us that tyranny has never endured. And now we have blood-guilt on our conscience for the dreadful injustice of murdering the Jewish inhabitants.” Everything that happens in this film is so sad. Especially if you are a history buff. Please, I think this film should be in the top 10 best films of all time. World War II is one of the most frightening wars in history, if you read more about The Holocaust, you get more into it and you should. If you are not interested, then watch this film. It's a must see, otherwise how els...

The Irishman (2019)

Image
Starring- Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, Ray Romano and Al Pacino.  Directed By- Martin Scorsese ----------------------------------------------------- Jimmy Hoffa - "I heard you paint houses" Frank Sheeran:  Yes. Yes, sir, I do. I do. And I, uh, I also do my own carpentry. If you are a fan of watching crime, gangster movies which are based on a true story then The Irishman is the best thing to binge. And in order to fully appreciate the movie, you gotta watch it more than once. Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro yet again collaborate to present a masterpiece.  The best thing about The Irishman is that it keeps you on the edge despite being a 210 minutes long movie. The CGI in the movie is absolutely perfect. Over the period of 50 years being shown in the movie, you can easily recognise the change in the characters facial expressions (De Niro and Joe Pesci).  The story revolves around Frank Sheeran (De Niro) who started as a truck driver, then gets recruited by Russell Ba...

The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)

 Starring- Ralph Fiennes, Tony Revolori, Aiden Brody, Edward Norton, Sairose Rogan, Bill Murray, Jeff Goldblum, Willem Dafoe, Tilda Swinton, Harvey Keitel, Jude Law, F. Murray Abraham, and Owen Wilson. Directed By- Wes Anderson. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ M. Gustave- " She Needs Me, And I Need You, To Help Me With My Bags And So On." Welcome to the Grand Budapest Hotel. We recount the story of a lobby boy and the main concierge of the titular hotel who gets in way over their heads. This is personally my favourite Wes Anderson movie out of all his inspiring creations. I love how the movie is divided into chapters and how each has a straightforward storyline driving it forward. There is humour, romance, absurdness and generally breathtaking, meticulously-constructed scenes as usual. From the start of the film it is clear that you are watching a Wes Anderson film. The colour palette and set design are obvious visual clues for t...
