 Ed Sheeran = review 

Rating:★★★★★ (1)

My opinion on Ed Sheeran is low, he is somehow the second most streamed artist of the decade even though he sticks to his formula and releases mediocrity. He is an excellent songwriter and is popular beyond belief which gains my respect but somehow I never understand his success and perhaps never will. 

A simple drumming beat to begin the album but I have heard this song a million times from every singer songwriter. It's somehow popular with nothing at all spectacular and very ordinary, the Ed Sheeran special.  The lyrics are about the birth of the son, however even this life changing event and the miracles of human life, the song is still fucking boring and during the 1st minute of the song I wanted to skip it and thus the whole album. 

Shivers has 200 million streams but contains a piano loop that could be done by a 12 year old. It is the Ed Sheeran standards of recent years. Basic, catchy beats at the background and Ed Sheeran singing choruses with meaningless lyrics in the background. First Times is a touching tribute to his wife, all the memories they made and all the memories they are going to make. It is not memorable or unique to me but I imagine his wife will quite like it. Or at least I hope she does and she is not completely bored of the album as I am. 

Bad habits is a pop song. Catchy chorus and catchy melody but nothing special with as much stream and airplay it bloody gets. Overpass Graffiti sounds like Blinding Lights with a catchy beat but is infinitely more boring and less forgettable. The next two songs passed me like a blur with nothing really coming to mind. Collide reminded me of a Stone Roses type beat but again still manages to be fucking boring. I will spare you from the rest of the album and my thoughts cos it is more of the same and no one wants to hear it and I cannot bear to put myself through it again. 

Ed Sheeran is just not for me, he's average and still sells like a motherfucker. 1 star for me and even that feels too high and that is what Jenka has to say.

Stranger Things Season 3 Review

Stranger Things Season 3 Review Rating: ★★★★★ (3.5) Spoilers of course I am a big fan of Stranger Things, when series one first came out I watched the whole series over one night. This series also broke a load of Netflix streaming records according to the company, no one really knows and these records seemed to get broken constantly so everything is taken with a pinch of salt in my eyes. On the whole, I liked this series not as much as the first one but I would say it would be on par or just below the second one. There were a few good additions to the cast and the story but the pacing for me just seemed kinda off. Firstly, additions to this season do add new dimensions to this season. Robin played by Maya Hawke is a new fresh addition, her chemistry with Dustin and particularly Steve, are some of the best scenes of this year. The other member of the Scoops Ahoy team is Erica Sinclair. Although not a completely new addition, the characters minutes in this season were quite dra...

Avengers:Endgame Review

Avengers: Endgame Review Rating: ★★★★★ (4.5) This is a heavy, heavy spoilers review. Don't read it unless you have watched the film. I would not wish that upon anyone.  This is the 22nd film of the MCU and that sentence is just nuts to me. Star Wars was first released in 1977 and there have only been half the amount of films released. Of the top 25 highest grossing franchises of all time, only James Bond has had more films then the MCU and grossed nearly a third less than Marvel films. The 3 Avengers films so far before this one, have grossed slightly less than the whole DC universe as well as such famous franchises Jurassic Park, Batman and The Fast and the Furious. Those numbers hurt my head and they go to some way to explain what a social and commercial juggernaut these films are.  I expected the world from this film and going I was both excited and nervous. There are many ways that this film could have gone wrong however there are only a few that it c...

Dark Phoenix Review

Dark Phoenix Review Rating: ★★★★★ (2) Dark Phoenix is the 12th film in the X-Men universe and the seventh film in the main X-Men series. I saw the Rotten Tomatoes score and I was worried about this film. I wanted this film to be good quite badly. I really like this cast and wanted this film to be good without the dodgy Bryan Singer. However, I did not like this film and was massively disappointed with this film. First of, at the beginning of the film, it just didn't feel cut right to me. Everything was too jumpy and just didn't feel cut right. The scenes alongside each other didn't seem right to me, I don't really know how to put this into common speech and probably won't make sense to most people. Anyway, another problem I had with this film is the constant music. It took away from the drama and the acting. Why have Oscar-nominated actors and actresses if the tension is undercut with music. I am a massive fan of soundtracks and a good one which this probably i...
