The Little Mermaid (2023)
Good singing largely forgettable
Pretty mid. Halle can really sing like wow she did amazing. But otherwise the movie is pretty slow and generic. Not sure why they added 45 minutes. Prince Eric has all the charisma of a mannequin, and he can't really sing. Ursula was pretty good. Javier Bardem was kind of just reading a script for two hours. Daveed Diggs was great as Sebastian. The cgi was pretty ugly and the movie was kinda dark. I guess the darkness was to hide the bad cgi. Overall though, do not waste your money just wait for it to hit streaming in a couple of months. It's mostly pretty boring, but do check out the soundtrack cause Halle Bailey is fantastic.
Avatar: The Way of Water (2022)
Frustratingly Mediocre
At one point someone dies I guess and I'm like oh was I supposed to care about this person. None of the characters are fleshed out in a way that makes me care about them. I don't care about jakes stupid kids and spider boy. Another thing I don't care about is misuse of technology.
I found the variable frame rate to be very distracting. Why did we need to keep shifting back and forth. I found when it was 48 fps the action felt like someone hit the fast forward button. Which is dissappointing because I found the visuals were very stunning whenever Cameron allowed my eyes to linger for more than a millisecond.
Overall, Very disappointing to say the least. The first Avatar film is a labor of love, something really special. This is just another soulless corporate franchise film.
Firestarter (2022)
Utter garbage
Don't waste your money. The acting is bad, the writing is bad ... the uh "plot" is incomprehensible. Complete trash movie. I have a free movie pass and still want a refund.
