Review: Venom (2018) : Good entertainer. Nothing to complain about.

This is a hugely popular movie. One indicator to prove it is the number of reviews on IMDB which is around 3k at present. Technically this is a Sony movie in association with Marvel and not directly part of MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) but leaving aside these technicalities, to a regular fan, this is a nice superhero movie which keeps you engaged.

The characters are good, might not be very deep as you will see in Batman Begins (comparing it with another origin movie) but fun to watch.

Effects are good which was very much required in such movie.

And you also get to see Stan Lee in a special appearance at the very end.

Overall, this movie leaves you with a smile on your face and is a good refresher!

Review : Quantico : Season 1 Episode 1 - Run

Looking at the first episode, what can be said is that the show Quantico cannot be rejected at the first sight. That means two things, first, the show is above average and second, it does not have a WOW factor. (The show is being aired on +Star World  in India.)

Those who like these kind of plots will not be disappointed but if you are coming from a background of the 9 seasons of 24, you will definitely keep wanting more out of this one.

The plot could have been better, it felt like too many things were happening in quite less time and when that happens, there is a loss of substance. The beginning episodes must build up the series even if they are a bit less pacy, but at the same time there has to be something which can give you satisfaction of watching a 40 odd minutes episode. Neither happens here perfectly.

The acting of the lead actress and the other characters is good. It's a big one for  +Priyanka Chopra and so far she does impress. Let's see how does the series go in the next episodes.
