I.M.C.F Review
FF5 was amazing. FF6 blew the mind. FF7 was out of bounds. Now FF8 is over the limit and the best part? We have two more parts coming up in our way!! Woohoo!

Well, that's the Fan of this series talking. As a general movie goer, I believe this film serves the sole purpose of entertainment. If you have followed the series, you will enjoy this film a lot and even if you have not, you will still have a lot of fun! Coz, all this film has is Action, Blasts, and Speed; and who doesn't love them?

To those who follow the series, this film brought out almost every famous character from previous parts, except for Paul who will be missed forever. But the best part is... Dom's team grew big now! Going further, if there are more challenges, then we have more fighters to take care of it!

Just don't miss out this fast-paced action thriller. Also, do NOT expect much of a story from it! Coz that's not what they do. They don't rely on stories. They rely on the action! That's what this series is all about. So expect accordingly and you will have a hell lot of fun!

I.M.C.F Rating: 90/100
Direction: 9/10: Those stunts, those action sequences, those races and those fights... Not something new to the series, but Still... Very better!!
Production Values: 9/10 : These series have become a trademark for Blasts and Crashes! They have a ton in this film too! Never compromise.
Story/Plot: 8/10: Family comes before anything. We know the plot, but the challenge they had this time was different and the stakes were too high!
Cast Performances: 10/10: Vin did very well as a Friend who went Rogue. Others, especially Jason and Dwayne stole the show.
Music: 9/10: BGM is awesome. Takes you with the flow of the film.
Cinematography: 9/10: The stunts and the action sequences were shot extremely well.
CGI: 8/10: Well... One or two frames were evident of the CGI, but overall, they were exceptional.
Screenplay/Editing: 9/10: Right from the first frame, the film gets as exciting as it can get! Entertaining indeed.
Dialogues: 9/10: Well written. Hilarious at times too!
Awe Moment(s): 10/10: First race; Capturing the Russian Minister; Stealing the EMP; The submarine attack; Saving the baby!!

I.M.C.F Review
The most awaited film of the franchise, hands down, reaches the expectations for sure! This film is set in the year 2029, where Logan's healing power starts to falter and he finally begins to feel old! He is responsible for Laura, a young mutant who possess the same power as his and an aged Charles Xavier, who happens to have killed most (if not all) of the X-Men in a seizure-induced psychic attack.

An emotional drama of a Hero who is battling with the way of his life and craves Death, sets out on one final adventure of saving a Young Mutant (X-23), from being chased down and killed, and help her reach her friends, in a Dystopian future! The best parts of the film are the emotional scenes, conversations between Charles and Logan, Kick-ass Action sequences and the usage of Comics! Regarding the emotional part, Who ever gets close or tries to help Wolverine are taken from him and he had lived with that for far too long and this time... He finally gives up!

Seeing Charles and Wolverine in such a scenario of being old and not being strong enough could be a bit too much to take, but all good things come to an end, and so does their story too! But before their time is over, they did help the Good prevail. They did make sure that the future is Safe! Action sequences were well made and thrilling enough. Has emotions, humor, feelings, care and love! A perfectly made film with everything being done, the right way!

P.S: Don't wait at the end of the film, as this film doesnt have a Post Credit scene!
All it has is a Comedy Scene from Deadpool 2, at the very beginning of the film itself! 

I.M.C.F Rating : 86/100

Dialogues : 8/10 : Great!

When a rogue of a man changes himself to a Lover, a Son, a Brother, a Husband and a good Boss... Then thats a perfect love story! If is that so, then this film is a perfect gift for this Valentines day!

Well, this film definitely has a reputation, but this time it has got a beautiful love story too! I certainly didnt expect much of a story from this film, but Christian Grey did surprise, by changing himself completely as a Lover!

This film starts exactly where it has ended last time, as Mr Grey invites Ana, for Dinner. One thing escalates to other, and they get close in no time. This time, Mr Grey is responsible, possessive, caring, loving and is on his knees himself... fro Ana!

What amazed me about this film is the way, Mr Grey let Ana into his life. He asks her to move in, supports her in her job, drops onto his knees for her, proposes her and even fights death for her! On the other side, Ana stood by him despite the obstacles that come between them! These things altogether make this film a beautiful Love story!

I.M.C.F Rating : 82/100
Direction : 8/10 : Mesmerizing!
Production Values : 8/10 : Rich, as Mr Grey!
Story/Plot : 9/10 : Dont know if they altered the story for the sake of audience or if it was how, it was written... But the changeover in story is great!
Cast Performances : 8/10 : The chemistry between Ana and Grey is off the bounds, as usual. But the romance was wonderful too!
Music : 9/10 : Elevated the film!
Cinematography : 8/10 : Beautifully shot.
Romance : 8/10 : Definitely, one of the best Romantic flicks in recent times.
Screenplay : 8/10 : Good and Gripping
Dialogues : 8/10 : Naturally written, but well written.
Awe Moment(s) : 8/10 : Romance on the cruise; Mr Grey's revivavl from crash; Mr Grey's proposal; Grey on his knees, offering himself to Ana!

I.M.C.F Review
When some things happen... They happen for a reason. We should never try to alter what is destined to happen. If you do... You should be prepared for a better worse! That's what this film is all about. Johnathan, aka John Wick, aka Boogeyman, plans to retire from his Action filled life of a Hit man and decides to live in Peace.

But an Italian crime lord Santino D'Antonio (Riccardo Scamarcio) visits John Wick, with one final mission and upon denying, blasts the house of John Wick and forces him to take up the mission.

When that mission in Rome is taken care of, John is ambushed by D'Antonio's men in an apparent double-cross to tie up "loose ends". This results in John's gun pointing over to D'Antonio and he doesnt plan on stopping now. The rest of the film is, how John takes care of everyone under D'Antonio, and D'Antonio himself!

I havent seen the John Wick chapter 1 and I don't know if that film is so filled with Action sequences, that it has nothing else. Coz, this film literally has nothing but action sequences. No proper story, no plot, no emotions, no logic's! I can say, i'm not impressed with the way, this film is made!

I.M.C.F Rating : 76/100
Direction : 7/10 : Would have been better if it had some story or emotions.
Production Values : 8/10 : Fine!
Story/Plot : 5/10 : One doesn't exist.
Cast Performances : 8/10 : Keanu did very well as a Hit man who lost everything! Others were fine too.
Music : 7/10 : Suited the pace of the film.
CGI Affects : 8/10 : Good enough
Action Sequences : 9/10 : Never seen before sort of Action sequences, but they are almost throughout the film and thats boring!
Screenplay : 8/10 : Suited the plot
Dialogues : 7/10 : OK.
Awe Moment(s) : 8/10 : All the Killings of John Wick are worth Mentioning!

I.M.C.F Review
Batman's greatest fear is not the Snakes, nor the Clowns and Not the Snake Clowns. It is, to be a part of the Family again! But when he overcomes that and earns himself a family... Its the happy Ending!

A Hilarious Action film, an Animated film lover shouldn't miss! The best part of Animated films is that, we can actually show anything we want, to the audience. This film makes use of that fact very well. Or else, why would there be a battle between Voldemort and Batman? And why would there be the Entire Universe of DC and Entire Multiverse of Bad guys?

A wonderful script, involving the complete evolution of Batman as a hero, proper intro to Robin and Bat girl, along with a Family and Romantic drama! The bondage of Joker and Batman has been highlighted very well, in a fun filled ride of a film! Well timed jokes, music and pacy screenplay of dialogues and action sequences, make this film a one of a kind in the Animated genre! I have seen the Lego Movie and this film definitely surpasses that film in many ways, especially the Script!

I.M.C.F Rating : 89/100
Direction : 9/10 : Wonderful execution of the script! Creativity in almost every frame of the movie, can be seen!
Production Values : 9/10 : Wonderful!
Story/Plot : 10/10 : A script which is Perfect! Its fun, emotional, creative, dramatic, romantic and action filled!
Cast Performances : 9/10 : Voices matched very well to the characters! Wonderful voice over too!
Music : 8/10 : Suited the pace of the film.
CGI Affects : 9/10 : Almost perfect
Action Sequences : 9/10 : A fight with all the Best Villans of all time? Wow! What else would anyone want?
Screenplay : 9/10 : Right from the first scene, the film runs at high Pace!
Dialogues : 8/10 : Great.
Awe Moment(s) : 9/10 : Scenes around Robin; Scenes between Joker and Batman; Scenes around Batman and Superman!

All You Need to Know

I.M.C.F Review
This film marks the continuation of the 'xXx Film Series' franchise, after 12 years!! This film sees the return of Vin Diesel as Xander Cage who comes out of self-imposed exile, thought to be long dead, and is set on a collision course with deadly alpha warrior and his team in a race to recover a sinister and seemingly unstoppable weapon known as Pandora’s Box. Recruiting an all-new group of thrill-seeking cohorts, Xander finds himself enmeshed in a deadly conspiracy that points to collusion at the highest levels of world governments.

The star cast had been well picked, weather its Neymar Jr (I dont know from where and why was he picked for that small role) or Donnie Yen or Deepika Padukone or Nina Dobrev... Everyone had been exceptional on screen, both in terms of action and cuteness (talking about female lead, obviously!). But this film features too many action scenes which are highly impossible in real life and doesn't actually make any sense. Well... scenes like such are what makes Vin Diesel famous for who is, but these scenes are literally over the limit and instead of thrilling the audience, might make them feel... 'Come on, now'!!

Film lacks story and the story which it had is utterly common. Apart from one or two scenes, nothing much notable is there in this film!

I.M.C.F Rating : 72/100
Direction : 6/10 : Too many action scenes, which doesn't make any sense. Star cast not completely utilized!
Production Values : 8/10 : Just fine. But star cast is good. Neymar and Nina especially :)
Story/Plot : 5/10 : Nothing special!
Cast Performances : 7/10 : Yeah good enough, but we have seen better of them all!
Music : 7/10 : Ok, i guess
Cinematography : 8/10 : Hollywood job. So yeah... as usual.
Action Sequences : 8/10 : 8 off 10 scenes didnt make much sense, but yeah he is Xander Cage. A xXx Agent. He can do stuff!
Screenplay : 7/10 : Wont tie you to the seat!
Dialogues : 7/10 : Average
Awe Moment(s) : 9/10 : Game with Granedes, The Race for the Pandora's box through traffic, Deepika's action sequence!
