PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie (2023)
What were they thinking? Where is the innocence?
This is not a bad movie, don't get me wrong. Even compared to most garbage that gets thrown at us adults for entertainment purposes.
The mighty movie has all the characters we know (and like or even love) from the tv show. And that's about it. Except for the pups and the other characters we already know, this movie has nothing to do with the Paw Patrol we're used to.
It's the mighty movie, I got this. But even their super powers are different from the tv show (if these episodes were fan favorites, I also get the reason behind this movie and I can blind guess the next installment could be about dinosaurs).
There's more action, more shooting stuff, fighting, explosions and (more real) threat than in all tv show seasons together. It's not innocent anymore - and I guess that's why I feel this is not a Paw Patrol movie.
The kids liked it (because of the characters they know?). The movie has its moments, it has a good portion of fun and the story is not too bad for what it is; entertainment for kids aged 5 or 6 and up. Visually, the movie feels like a tiny step back from the first installment (imho the fur looks weird at times). But, I repeat, this has nothing to do with Paw Patrol from the tv show.
Star Trek: Discovery (2017)
Not suitable for fanboys - everyone else might love it.
I'm not a big fan of star trek, but I'm into sci-fi and so I check out whatever tv show or movie I can find. I've seen some episodes of various star trek shows and I guess I've seen all the movies (and happen to only kinda like the last few installments).
Quality and entertainment wise, Star Trek Discovery's first season gave me the hell of a good time. Sure, it could be named completely different. Like 'Discovery' without the 'Star Trek'. While reading all the negative reviews, that seems to be what keeps this away from being a great success: it doesn't feel like Star Trek - and thats good in my opinion. I happen to like the atmosphere, the well developed characters with all their flaws and the visual approach of the cinematography - as well as the pace. I literally loved everything about this season except for the awkward escape/rescue sign from the first few scenes and that one time loop episode which came way too early on a fresh installment like this.
If you're not into the Star Trek franchise at all, give 'Discovery' a chance. It deserves a lot of love. If you're a die-hard trekker, knowing all history and time line events of the Star Trek universe, avoid it.
