Iron Man's sworn enemy to appear in the Ironheart Series?

 It's still clear in fans' memories when Tony Stark aka Iron Man made a heroic sacrifice to save the Marvel Cinematic Universe from Thanos and his troops in Avengers: Endgame (2019). Even though the MCU has entered a new saga with its Phase 4, many fans are wondering, who will be the successor to Iron Man. One of them that is often discussed by fans is a Marvel Comics character named Riri Williams aka Ironheart who will have his own solo series in the MCU.

Ironheart is an upcoming MCU series that will premiere on the Disney+ streaming channel. So far, it is not known what the plot of Ironheart  will be, given the distance that is quite far since Iron Man's death. The series will be hosted by Chinaka Hodge and stars Dominique Thorne as Riri Williams. Previously, it was reported that the Ironheart series would soon start shooting in April. Apart from the plot which is still kept secret, apart from Thorne, no other names have been revealed as actors in the series later.

Recently, ComicBook reported that one of the villains in the Ironheart series will be Obadiah Stane's son, Ezekiel “Zeke” Stane. Obadiah is the first MCU villain that Iron Man has to face in his first film which was released in 2008 ago. While Zeke Stane himself is a strong enemy of Iron Man who first appeared in 2008 in the comic The Order Vol. 2 #8 by Barry Kitson and Matt Fraction.

In his comics, Matt Fraction depicts Zeke as a businessman as well as an ideological terrorist who does not obey any laws and beliefs. Zeke has a goal that is quite strange, he doesn't want to kill Iron Man at all, but just wants to humiliate him and make Iron Man slump. Zeke is a Marvel villain who is very genius, at a young age he implanted a lot of technology in his body. Zeke deliberately did this to make him have super abilities, including healing factors and repulsors like Iron Man.

If true, Zeke Stane will be the villain Riri Williams has to deal with, it's pretty clear that Ironheart is meant to be the successor to Iron Man who both started their superhero career by fighting a Stane. So far, Marvel has not issued an official statement regarding Zeke's appearance in the Ironheart series . The series itself is expected to be released in 2023. Prior to that, Riri's character from Dominique Thorne will first appear in the film  Black Panther: Wakanda Forever  which is scheduled to hit theaters on November 11, 2022.

Film Review : Split

 Hello geeks, this is my first review on the greenscene review forum, hehe, I want to review a little about the Split film made by a director named M. Night Shyamalan. Who is Shyamalan? he is one of the iconic directors in Hollywood who consistently presents supernatural-themed films that are full of twists. There are many films from M. Night Shyamalan that the writer likes, such as The Sixth Sense. as well as the latest film Split.

This film tells of the terror experienced by three women namely Casey, Claire and Marcia when they were about to travel together. A foreign man named Kevin (James McAvoy is my favorite actor hehe..) suddenly drugged and kidnapped the three of them. Casey, Claire, and Marcia are finally locked in a room where it is located. The three girls panicked and tried to find a way out. However, their efforts are not easy because Kevin actually has 23 personalities that appear alternately. He can transform into a woman named Patricia, a child named Hedwig, and a grown man named Dennis. Each Kevin's personality has a different character where some of them can be dangerous and certainly make the situation tense.

Now what I want to emphasize when watching this film is a story that makes us pay more attention to the characters, not to find twists like other Shyamalan films. Through many flashbacks, the placement of which must be admitted, sometimes shakes faith, eh, that means focus, this film conditions us to see Kevin as an ordinary human being due to childhood trauma.

The point is, in my opinion, split is a successful comeback for Shyamalan. This director is able to raise the mysterious theme of multiple personalities in an interesting and tense manner throughout the film. The story is present like pieces full of puzzles even though the twists that are presented are not as many and surprising as the previous M. Night Shyamalan film.

Thanks Shyamalan, I hope you can continue to release more cool works for sure.

[MOVIE REVIEW] The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Imaginative & Inspirational Phrases From Ben Stiller

 The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, maybe for some geeks this is a familiar movie title. The film was released on December 25, 2013 starring and directed by Ben Stiller. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is a film wrapped in adventure, comedy and drama genres. Make it a suitable entertainment to be enjoyed with family, friends, spouses and friends on the sidelines of your busy life. This time, we will review the film 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty', see more below.

The majority of us may think that Ben Stiller is 'only' a comedian actor who has succeeded by starring in various films, but what if Ben also sits in the director's chair? Some of the films that have been directed by himself include Reality Bites, The Cable Guy and Zoolander. he proved through the film Tropic Thunder comedy genre which is the highest grossing comedy film in 2008. But The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is probably his best work so far.

Geeks if you have read the synopsis of The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, you may assume that this film seems boring and ordinary. However, the director can package the film in a very epic way that can invite the audience to adventure, dream, and imagine with Walter Mitty so as to provide different emotions in each scene. On the other hand, the selection of each player is very in line with the storyline of this film and blends with the characters. In addition, Ben added an element of comedy adapted to the dramatic action which further strengthened the adventurous side of this film. Things like that make everything in this film an imprint on our minds as an 'inspirational & imaginative' film.

In terms of plot, this story, written by Steve Conrad, presents a simple story with a comfortable flow and unpredictable plot, but doesn't make the audience have to think hard. From here, you can see how Ben carries out his character as Walter Mitty. He was able to enrich the visuals and characterization of Walter Mitty. His character as someone who is boring and learns to get out of his comfort zone, Ben is able to portray from the way he communicates, body language, the look in his eyes and also the delivery of dialogue that makes this film come alive.

In addition, the cinematography in The Secret Life of Walter Mitty will spoil the visualization of the audience. Presenting a very beautiful view by applying very precise and amazing photography techniques and theories. It is not surprising that in this film visual is the main value. Coupled with the ultra wide-shot technique that shows the overall atmosphere in the film, it makes the actors look small, adding to the beauty of this film. And Stuart Dryburgh is the cinematographer, it's amazing, isn't it geeks?

Do not forget this film was added with a touch of advanced computerized CGI technology. In this film, CGI is used appropriately to realize Walter Mitty's wild imagination, his adventures and complete the cinematography which is so slick. Make the scene each scene runs nice and neat. Showing everything with the right composition details, it can be seen from the effects that are presented as if they are real.

Every adventure genre film will certainly feature a good location and maybe we've never seen it before, right geeks?

By taking locations in various countries that are again showing their beauty. This certainly greatly affects all aspects presented in this film, including the effect on emotions, film nuances, visuals and characterization in each scene.

The selection of costumes is also one of the most influential aspects in a film, including this film. Here describes the characteristics of Walter Mitty through the style and color of his clothes. Such as shirts, jackets, sweaters, t-shirts and other properties that support the character played by Ben Stiller. These styles and colors indirectly manage to bring out the emotions, enthusiasm and boring nuances of Ben's life for the audience.

Then, this is the thing that completes all the aspects in it to be more perfect, namely the background music. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty provides a touch of music from Theodore Shapiro which makes all the elements in this film more emotional and even so comfortable to enjoy and every lyric is able to describe the atmosphere in each scene.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty managed to bring the audience to laugh, move and think about life, which is definitely inspiring. Geeks, for those of you who are feeling tired with your daily routine and confused about choosing a film? The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is a very fitting choice, you don't have to think hard when watching it, just follow the plot until the end of the story, overall, the author's rating for this film is 8 out of a maximum value of 10.

Jurassic World Review: Fallen Kingdom: Gahar, Fun and Satisfying Veteran Fans

 When the film Jurassic World was announced in 2014, excitement and misgivings immediately erupted among “veteran” fans . Reasonable. Growing up and watching Michael Crichton's adaptation of the franchise  , of course they didn't want the fourth Jurassic film to disappoint them. Fortunately, when it was finally released on June 12, 2015, those worries turned into cracks of a smile.

Indeed, the overall film directed by Colin Trevorrow, is not as perfect as Jurassic Park (1993). But Jurassic World still displays the excitement and tension as when we watched the previous films. Seeing the success of the film, it is automatic once a sequel is produced.

Titled Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom , the film, now directed by JA Bayona ( The Impossible, A Monster Calls ), is set 3 years after the destruction of the entire Jurassic World theme park . After this event, all the remaining dinosaurs are now in danger of being destroyed by a volcanic eruption around the island of Isla Nublar. Now, it's up to Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) and Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard) to save the dinosaurs from extinction. Will they succeed?

Overall, every action scene and every scene where Owen cs tries to avoid being chased by dinosaurs (whatever the type of dino is), is really exciting and tense. In fact, you could say, these scenes are much more tense than the first film. So tense, we feel like we are being targeted and chased too.

Of course, this aspect becomes "beautiful music" for both Jyrassic World fans and Jurassic Park fans . Because yes, this aspect is the signature for this franchise . And JA Bayona does a very, very good job.

However, Bayona is not the only one who has contributed. Composer Michael Giacchino, who returned to handle the scoring of this sequel, also had a big (in fact, very big) role in adding to the sense of tension that was felt. The combination of the two looks much more suitable than the Giacchino-Trevorrow combination.

While the action and suspense aspects shine through, unfortunately the same cannot be said for the plot and character development aspects. Even though it still makes sense and is easy to follow, for some reason, we feel normal with the plot that is presented. I don't know, maybe this is because we have often watched movies or played games with similar plots.

But calm down geeks . The problems in the plot department are nothing compared to the problems in the character development department shown in this film. Gokil Geeks . If given a scale of 1-10, you could say the character development in this film is only 2 or 3 out of 10. This is of course very unfortunate.

Especially in this sequel, there is a little girl character named Maisie Lockwood (Isabella Sermon) who has a very imaginative portion and plot background . Indeed, in the third round, his background was revealed. And yes, the disclosure is quite surprising. But because it focuses too much on the main plot, as a result the disclosure feels useless. Supposedly, if you want, this disclosure is expressed only in the third film later than the end i mpact obtained senendang audience is not as expected.

Since Jurassic Park , it is undeniable that Tyrannosaurus Rex aka T-Rex, is the most dangerous and feared dinosaur figure. As a result, it's no wonder this carnivorous dinosaur has become an icon of this franchise . It's not wrong. We, veteran fans , are also waiting for the arrival of this distinctive roaring dino.

But since Jurassic Park 3 (2001), you could say the presence of this dino is nothing more than a gimmick . And this impression is increasingly visible in this Fallen Kingdom . His presence in one or two scenes is "useful" and makes sense. But, as the scene progressed. It really seems that the reason this Gahar Dino is included is for commercial reasons only.

Even though as we know, the figure of "King Dino" in this sequel, is Indo Raptor. So yes, it should be, if you want him to be presented at the end, like in the first film, when T-Rex was only shown to kill Indominus Rex. Oh yes, by the way Indo Raptor. WOW Geeks ! all you can say, Indo Raptor >>>> Indominus Rex. Owen and Claire alone must use their wits to defeat this vicious dino.

In addition to the exciting action scenes, the amazing performances of all the actors are also a factor that successfully covers some of the shortcomings that have been mentioned previously. But of all the actors, no doubt , Chris Pratt, again the most shining. I don't know why, geeks . Pratt does look very natural when he plays Owen. Casual, cool, slengean but still cool at the same time.

His chemistry with his favorite dinosaurs, Blue and Howard, is only getting worse, especially with Blue, which is undeniable that the relationship between the two is very vital to the overall plot of this sequel. Seeing his gokil appearance, it is a pity that it was Alden Ehrenreich who was actually appointed as the young Han Solo in Solo: A Star Wars Story instead of this 38 year old actor. Let's just pray, hopefully in the future he can become a substitute for other iconic Harrison Ford characters, you know who ( cue : fedora hat and whip).

Actually, when we watched The Fallen Kingdom , we felt that this sequel (although it was fun again), didn't need to be produced. Because it is a story and interest, this film does not really need to be made. But because it was scheduled as a trilogy PLUS seeing the aftermath of the ending of this film, we immediately changed our minds alias agreed that Jurassic World , indeed should be made as a trilogy.

As long as it's on a note, after the third film, which is scheduled to be released on June 11, 2021, this story must really be finished. Because if you don't, it will be very expensive. So geeks , for those of you who haven't watched, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is pretty much recommended. Especially if you're a veteran fan , you really must be a geeks .

Oh yeah, don't rush home, geeks . Because this film displays a post-credits scene that is quite interesting and can be used as a little clue as to how the state of the Jurassic universe will be in the upcoming third film.

Review of The Incredibles 2: Parr Family Still Super & Fantastic

 It can be said that the term “Long Gap” does not apply to the Pixar dictionary. As has been proven by Toy Story 3 (2010) , Monsters University (2013) and of course, Finding Dory (2016), the sequels which were released after 5 years of the original film, proved to be still able to maintain very good quality which as a result, make the audience not feel tired of the long pause. And the sequel to The Incredibles (2004), The Incredibles 2 , has yet again succeeded in proving that claim.

Yep, that's right, geeks . The sequel, which is directed by Brad Bird again and takes place right after the ending of the first film (yes, the film opens with a battle between the Parr VS The Underminer family), really makes our 14 years of waiting really pay off very sweetly.

Still Cool, Fun, Funny and Not Childish

And one of the main factors that makes this sequel still ridiculous, is that all the action scenes, dramas, well , basically everything still looks as exciting, cool and colorful as when watching the first film. Yep, once again, even the dramatic scenes don't make us bored and want to go back to watching the action scenes. In fact, if you want to compare it, it is the dramatic scene that becomes the "screen stealer ".

Neither the ideological conflict between Mr. Incredibles (Craig T. Nelson) with his wife, Elastigirl (Holly Hunter) related to the " Super Relocation" program which makes them again have to "retire" while being superheroes, a slight gap between Incredibles and Elastigirl regarding the wife who is preferred to promote the elimination of the program that, until the whole family finally sees Jack-Jack's (Eli Fucile) superpowers for the first time, all of which are presented very clearly, to the point , entertaining, and not childish.

Yep. Not childish. You could say this factor has always been a plus for The Incredibles series and all Pixar films. Indeed, this film is targeted mostly at children and pre-teens automatically, the language of the script must be really easy to understand. However, that does not mean that the accompanying adult audience also feels childish.

In fact, when we watched the film, it was the small audience who immediately "checked out" when they saw the dramatic scenes. Because the problem shown in this film contains various kinds of metaphors as well as contemporary social moral messages that are really only understood by those who are adults.

All Characters That Are Still Funny & Gokil

Another factor here, too, is the characters who are still funny, gokil and steal the attention. Anyway, for those of us who have watched the first film, we feel like we are reunited with close friends/family we haven't seen in a long time.

And one more aspect regarding the characters that this sequel still maintains, is that none of the characters seem to really dominate. Indeed, Elastigirl in this sequel is the main highlight. But Mr. The Incredibles, Violet (Sarah Vowell), Dash (Huck Milner) and even once again, Jack-Jack, also get an equally fair share.

Oh yes, speaking of Jack-Jack, you could say this super baby is the second character who shines after Elastigirl in this film. He really looks cute, innocent, adorable but still badass at the same time. Anyway, after seeing his figure, of course, those of us who already have babies, immediately want to pinch our children excitedly.

The Screen Slaver Motif is Weak and Very Generic

Unfortunately like its first film, The Incredibles 2 , it wasn't a completely perfect film. And again, the weakness lies in the villain department . If Syndrome (Jason Lee) was weak in the past, it was in the way he lost, then the weakness in Screen Slaver (Bill Wise) is in his motives and identity disclosure.

For the motive, it can be said that it is very generic and does not make us feel empathy and understanding towards him. This, of course, is very different from the previous Syndrome, whose motives are very relatable to all of us.

As for revealing who is behind this Screen Slaver mask, basically what we can say is, when you meet two of the many new characters in this film nearing Act 2, you can already guess that they are one of them and their reveal, only with a "reversal of logic" " just.

Beware of Potential Epilepsy When Watching the Movie!

Yep, that's right, geeks . As the name suggests, Screen Slaver, it's certain, this villain makes a lot of use of the monitor screen display which is really dazzling. Even in the scene where Elastigirl was fighting with herself, the screen display was truly dazzling. After watching it, we just got a little dizzy (yes, maybe it's because we sat in row D).

Therefore, we suggest for those of you who may have a little epilepsy or are easy to "vomit" with a glare, slightly lower your head or better to just skip watching the scene. Even some cinema chains in the US have issued warning circulars regarding this matter. So yeah, watch yourself geeks!

But apart from this and a few other shortcomings, overall , The Incredibles 2 , is a must watch for those of you who are animation fans and of course fans of the first film. Even if you haven't seen the first film, we think you'll still like it even though, you have to watch the first film before watching the sequel.

Seeing the success of this sequel, then yep, it seems we will be very ready and more than hype to watch Toy Story 4 which will be released on June 21, 2019. Although not necessarily, but it can be guaranteed that the fourth adventure of Woody (Tom Hanks) and Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) will be very successful. Because yes, as stated earlier, long time gaps are not a problem at all for Hollywood's biggest animation studio.

The Cured Review: Fresh and full of satire

 With The Walking Dead, iZombie and Resident Evil still popular , it's no wonder that many of us were quite skeptical when we heard about the release of The Cured film. Specifically, we immediately mumbled "Ah, at least it's going to be like most Zombie films with stories". But when I finally saw the film directed by David Freyne ( The Man in 301 ), this feeling of skepticism turned into a very wide smile.

The Cured tells the story of the spread of a virus called the Maze Virus . Well, this virus causes sufferers to become zombies. Almost the entire population in Europe is infected with this virus. Luckily a cure was found. As a result, after being treated from a ratio of 100%, 75% of the population recovered and returned to their former human form.

While 25% are immune (not effective) with the drug given. And they are quarantined. Now, the 75% who have recovered now have to face the next tough challenge: Convincing the surrounding community that they have fully recovered, aka, will not become zombies again. And one of those struggling is a young man named Senan Browne (Sam Keeley).

But in the midst of him having to adapt again to the surrounding community and his sister-in-law, Abbie (Ellen Page) and his son Cillian, Senan also has to face his best friend who has also recovered but is brutal, Conor (Tom Vaughan-Lawlor) who has big dangerous plans that could mess up the whole world again.

What plan is that? And did Senan manage to re-mingle with social life as before?

Super Fresh Plot And Full of Social Satire

How about after reading the plot geeks ? Feels different and really fresh right? And the concept of the story is what makes The Cured a really fun film to watch from beginning to end. Apart from that, most importantly, the plot of this film feels like satirizing social issues (SARA) which until now still often occurs in various parts of the world.

If examined carefully, the representations of zombies that have recovered but are still doubted / ostracized by the surrounding community are shown, just as they had previously suffered from a serious illness and had recovered, but were still ostracized / humiliated.

Or further, this also feels like the struggle of Latino immigrants in the US who as we know are still struggling (even rebellious) to be treated the same as other US citizens. This real-life injection is what once again makes The Cured very different from most zombie films or series.

Keeley, Hollywood's Next Big Irish Star

Of course, the freshness and uniqueness of this story is fully supported by the total super performance of the entire cast , especially Keeley and Lawlor. Both of them have succeeded in reviving the conflict of principles that are contrary to a very great degree. As a result, those of us who witness will also support both of them even though we know that one is good and one is evil.

But if you compare the two again, then Keeley is the one who shines. He succeeded in reviving Senan's sense of isolation. Those of us who may have been bullied will immediately be able to feel what they have experienced. His acting prowess inevitably makes him the next big Irish actor.

As for Pages? Well , what are the complaints here? Since making his acting debut in the FTV Pit Pony (1997), it can be said "Page can't do no wrong" . And the same can be said again for her brilliant performance as Abbie in this film.

Lost Direction in the Second Half

It's a shame that all the cool aspects already mentioned, are a bit tainted by a few wrong decisions that could have been avoided. The first concerns the final fate that Conor accepts.

Without the intention of spoilers , when we saw it, we immediately mumbled "Oh, so what happened to him?" If this is indeed done so that it will be revealed in the sequel, okay. So this decision is right. But if there are no plans for a sequel, this decision is very strange and wrong.

Apart from that, another major problem here is that towards the second half, the film lost its direction ( lost focus/direction ). At the beginning, it was explained that the focus of this film is on the struggle of Senan and those who have recovered, aka "The Cured" to be accepted again in society.

But entering round 2 and so on, this film shifts its focus to being like most zombie survival films . Although it still maintains the main premise, the deflection of the plot's focus actually makes this film a little damaged.

Fresh and Delicious Food for Zombie Fans

Apart from these problems, The Cured is undeniably a fresh, new and "delicious" dish for those of us who are fans of zombie stories. The premise is unique, the acting is gokil and the cinematography that is displayed is cool and chilling .

But at the same time, for those of you who prefer “ gore-zombie ” films , you may be disappointed. Because The Cured can be said to be very minimal showing blood and flesh splattered.

But then again, if you're the type who's bored until your brain wants to come out with most zombie stories nowadays, then The Cured is a must watch for all of you. Hopefully, after The Cured, in the future there will be many more filmmakers like Freyne who want to produce an unusual zombie story ( out of the box ) Amen.

Review of The House with a Clock in its Walls: A Not Too Horror Comedy That's Suitable for Families

 When you finally see the film, it can be said that there are several elements of Goosebumps in this film. Ultimately, though, the film is  The House with a Clock in its Walls . Then, is  The House with a Clock in its Walls really a fun and  enjoyable  film as promised by the  trailer ?

Dark Fantasy That Entertains the Family

If we talk about the entertaining ( enjoyable ), the film directed by Eli Roth ( Hostel ) is said to be samgat entertaining. Especially if we watch with family. Guaranteed geeks will get a very beautiful quality time with family.

Who would have thought that the filmmaker, who is famous for his gory and spooky works , would be able to direct a film that is clearly outside the shutter of its genre . But, that's the reality of geeks . Without his qualified direction, it is guaranteed that this film will be far from entertaining what has been said.

This Massachusetts-based director, was a great success in presenting the fantasy elements that are the essence of the story without losing its signature suspense. In his hands, this film feels magical, funny and at the same time feels quite creepy . The jokes that are displayed are also quite funny, although some of them sometimes don't really hit.

Pacing Too Fast

Apart from the jokes that don't really hit, the pacing of this film is somehow too fast ( to the point ). It's even better than rambling here and there isn't it? But, it's precisely the pacing that slows down a bit, it's really needed.

The reason is that the pacing, which is not immediately " like bik buk ", will provide space for the introduction of Lewis Barnavelt (Owen Vaccaro) with his uncle who is a warlock, Jonathan Barnavelt (Jack Black), feels more detailed and in-depth.

Geeks remember how the Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001) movie paced ? If you think about it with a duration of 2.5 hours, with a lot of exposition pacing , it will feel long and boring, right?

But why don't many fans feel that way? Because the film must be told with such pacing so that we can witness and understand in depth the intricacies of Harry's (Daniel Radcliffe) life journey in his first year until it finally ends up against his nemesis, Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes).

Indeed, the film shows how Lewis first met Jonathan and his "unique" neighbor and assistant, Florence Zimmerman (Cate Blanchett), then he became more and more interested in becoming a Warlock as well as his uncle.

But as has been said, the process is presented very quickly and too to the point which eventually makes us not care about Lewis's life journey. Moreover, the story of this film has 12 chapters in the novel. If Harry, who has only 7 novels, can "take their time" to cultivate his pacing , why can't The House with a Clock ?

Black-Blanchett's Magical Chemistry & Charisma

Fortunately, in the midst of the speed of pacing , Roth was still able to find loopholes to display exposition scenes that kept us informed of the background of the characters displayed.

Apart from that, another important aspect that helps this film to its fullest is the appearance as well as the magical and unexpected chemistry  of Hela and Po. Oops we mean Black & Blanchett.

Come to think of it, Jack Black and Cate Blanchett. One comedic one dramatic. Furthermore, before meeting each other in this film, the two had never appeared together. Where can you show cool chemistry ? But in reality, once again, the opposite is true.

The two characters they play can support each other, which in turn makes their interactions very dynamic. Not to mention that basically both of them are charismatic figures, especially Black. Bottom line, if it weren't for these two, this film is guaranteed to be pretty boring.

Then what about Vaccaro? Was he successful in his biggest lead role? It can be said that in the debut of this main role, the child actor who was first recognized through his role as Dylan in Daddy's Home (2015) is quite okay but unfortunately, a crybaby.

We don't know if Lewis is like this in his novel. But what is clear in this film is that he is described as having a crybaby mentality, although sometimes that is not the case. But in one scene he is shown sobbing which makes him look like a crybaby boy.

We understand when he was like that, it was due to a sensitive matter related to his deceased mother. But we think it would be better if his sadness was not displayed so whiny. But apart from this complaint, overall Vaccaro performed quite well.

In the end, despite the various complaints that have been mentioned previously and the main villain who has a very generic motif, The House with the Clock in its Walls , is a very entertaining, mysterious and quite exciting adaptation.

As said, the story is divided into 12 novels. In the future, the studio plans to adapt the remaining 11 stories, hopefully they can learn a lot from all the shortcomings in this film.

Because in our opinion, this franchise has great potential to become Harry Potter or in other words, a new cool franchise  story for today's young audience. Let's just pray that it will be.

Well, for geeks who this weekend might want to take their family to watch together, make sure you watch The House with the Clock in its Walls . Guaranteed, your time with your family will be very enjoyable.
