FREE GUY (Theatrical Release USA 2021)

 Ben Meyers’ Rating: 4.2|5.0 Starsìììì 

Free Guy—fresh, creative, and fun—shows Ryan Reynolds in some of his better works as he thoroughly plumbs his role as ‘Guy’. The script is complicated and the conclusion takes some thought to understand what truly happened in this story. The movie more than earns its watch time and monetary investment. Great concept movie.

THOR: RAGNARÖK (Theatrical Release USA 2017)

 Ben Meyers’ Rating: 4.3|5.0 Starsìììì 

Thor: Ragnarök—a better Marvel film—incorporates much more comedy into its dialogue and storyline. This welcome diversion increases the entertainment value and makes it unique among the more serious, action-oriented superhero movies. Chris Hemsworth reprises his role as Thor. The movie works on a creative and highly original structuring than previous Thor-related stories. Good watch, worth both time and money expenditure.
