Wonder Woman

Wonder Woman  - 141min  - PG13

This is hands down the best DC film of the modern age. They final reconnected with the character and made a movie that focused on the hero's humanity and not only on their powers.  I have high hopes that Warner Brothers studios takes the right notes. 

This gives me hope that Justice Leauge won't be horrible. Read my review here on BlackFlix

Kong: Skull Island

Kong: Skull Island  - 118min - PG13

This was a promising start to a shared monster universe, and John C Reilly  Stole the show. Seeing my childhood monsters on the screen again in some spectacular effects. The Monsterverse seems to be chugging along, looking forward to Godzilla in 2019 and then Godzilla vs. Kong later.

The BFG

The BFG - 117min - PG

Roald Dahl is a master storyteller.  It is challenging to put some of this kid shows on screen without changing something or losing sight of the spirit of the story. I have seen a few Dr. Seuss books ruined by the big screen.  I am looking at you Cat in the Hat. This one transitioned well. I think it helps when you have people who love and understand the story working to make it a film worthy of the story. Read my full review here.

The Legend of Tarzan

The Legend of Tarzan  - 110 min - PG13

This is a reintroduction of this classic tale to the modern age. Does it hold up to the dramatic change in tone and a more modern sensibility? For the most part, it does. Some of the less savory views of the original material have been brought up to date. 

Margo Robbie is a force to be reconded with, Jane is no wilting flower in this retelling.  Read my review here on Balckflix
