Men with wings

In the past few week I watched two movies of men with wings. One is about an angel who chops of his wings to save humans and another is of a human who gain wings for dismissing the ideas of tooth fairies. The movies are Legion and Tooth Fairy.

Legion is disappointing at first as the huge billboard by the road side shows Michael in his glorious wings while in the movie the first thing he did was cut his wings and became a gun toting angel. Luckily there is Gabriel who swoops in to torment the humans while showcasing his wings of steel.

At some point in the movie I felt like watching a movie adaptation of a graphic novel where the back story is often fast cut to get to the action parts. I am wondering about the function of the neck brace which Michael throws away when he cuts his wings. If a human wears one will he become an angel? Or does it give angels special powers? There was no clear explanation there.

Nearing the end the movie smells like Sarah Connor tale of a couple who unites to save a Chosen One. I am thinking should someone name his/her son Chosen One. Very Unique name indeed.
And surprise surprise the meek one turned out to be the prophet and which prompts a question. Will there be a sequel?

Tooth Fairy showcases The formerly known as Rock's (Dwayne Johnson) very cardboard character. He acts like a bimbo here who always flares up when something goes wrong in his life and never even pause to think before he speak, hey he paused once. It was before he told his girlfriend's son about hope and What If?

Dwayne Johnson plays a ice hockey player who is over his prime and is comfortable in being in his own state. I think with his very huge muscles he is bound to play tough guy roles for many years to come. And also like Game Plan he is reduced to playing a self centered guy who went through some life changing events which eventually changes him.

The darn thing about movies is when one guy did wrong to another person, the wronged person life then goes downhill and the doer gets all the blame. Like when his character Thompson degraded his future stepson Randy about his guitar skills, he was all blamed for the boy's sadness. When in reality you shouldn't bow down to people when sometimes all they ever said were some nonsense which was out of place and definitely out of their mind.

Now I sound like a motivational speaker. Ok. Listen to Tooth Fairy and you will be set for a lifetime supply of puns. "You can't handle the tooth?"
