Andor: One Way Out (2022)
A full 180 from the beginning of the show!
After one of the slowest starts of any television show I've ever seen, the show started to pick up in pace and led to one of the greatest episodes I've seen in television. The episodes leading up to it, the tension, and the the oh-so-sweet payoff for it all. This honestly could've been the season finale with the way it was so perfectly done. Not getting into spoilers, but the story-telling really is top-tier in this episode. If you just so happened to end up here and haven't reached this episode yet, DON'T STOP WATCHING, trust me, I made the mistake of quitting my viewing and only now coming back to realize what I had been truly missing out on.
Inception (2010)
Possibly Overrated.
This movie is really good, don't get me wrong, but to be in the Top 15? A bit too much. This movie explores some vast concepts in a easy to understand way, in fact, one of the main characters' entire purpose is to spoonfeed the story to you. However, this movie does not have the same impact as something like Forrest Gump, or better yet, Interstellar. Interstellar is able to get you emotionally invested in it's characters and actually make you care for them. This movie? Not so much. The characters feel generic with not a lot to offer, which is a shame considering Christopher Nolan's track record. All in all, it's a good movie, but Interstellar has more emotional impact and is overall a better movie.
Joker (2019)
A surreal experience.
This movie is scary, but not in the way you think. It reaches deep inside your head, and will make you question what is happening. This movie will make you feel strange. The acting is great, the cinematography is great, and the story, it's nuts. The whole viewing experience is surreal and it'll feel like a dream afterwards. I like this movie for the way it can manipulate you to feel these things, and it's like the Space Odyssey of this generation.
RRR (Rise Roar Revolt) (2022)
Wow.
I wasn't expecting much from this movie, mostly due to the three hour runtime and the fact that I don't generally like Bollywood, but wow, it ended up being one of the best movies I've ever seen. From the perfectly shot action scenes, to the heartbreaking story, it will keep you on your toes the whole experience through. If you love a good story, and you love some Terminator-level action, this is THE movie for you.
Soul (2020)
Really good.
This film is perfect in almost every way. Key word: Almost. The ending falls a bit flat, and doesn't exactly end on the most satisfying note, but it's still entertaining the whole way through.
Encanto (2021)
Disney is still going strong.
The nice thing about Disney is that nearly all of their movies are consistently good, and it's the same case here. It's an enjoyable adventure from start to finish, and I would definitely recommend it.
Ciao Alberto (2021)
Cute.
It was cute, but I'd say it's way too short to genuinely recommend to someone unfortunately. Still, if you've wanted some more Luca, well, here you go.
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022)
The Real Sonic Movie.
If the first Sonic movie was the exposition, here's the action. Finally introducing the rest of the trio, this movie managed to consistently stay more entertaining than the original, and I applaud it for that. Would definitely recommend as a good movie to sit back and watch.
Sing 2 (2021)
It wasn't bad...!?
I've watched the first sing, and I did not like it at all. So naturally my expectations were below the floor. Little did I know, this movie would actually knock the first out of the park. This one improved upon everything, from the story to the characters, and the animation is gorgeous in the new setting. Overall, a wonderful surprise that I believe anyone can enjoy.
The Bad Guys (2022)
I was surprised.
When I saw the word: "DreamWorks", my expectations fell to the floor, seeing as DreamWorks hasn't had the best recent reputation, but there was definitely a lot of effort put into this movie. The animation style was great, the story was great, it was overall very entertaining. I would definitely recommend this if you like animated movies.
Obi-Wan Kenobi (2022)
Everything was filler except the ending.
The story was, I don't know how to put this, boring. I'd say that the only justification for watching this was the Anakin and Obi-Wan fight scenes, because they are GOOD. The ending with Anakin's voice turning into Darth Vader's, absolute perfection. The only thing holding it back is literally everything else.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)
Doctor Strange and the Waster of Time
It feels like every recent Marvel movie has just been average, none of them really have anything to bring to the table, and it's the same here. I wouldn't say it's worth watching, but if you really like Doctor Strange, go nuts.
Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers (2022)
Okay.
I enjoyed it, sort of. This honestly felt like the kind of thing you'd see on Disney Channel, not that there's anything wrong with that, but something just felt, off. Overall, it wasn't good, it wasn't bad, it was just okay.
Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)
Will leave a smile on your face.
This movie was, in my opinion, an amazing conclusion to the ENTIRE Spider-Man franchise. Seeing the three Spider-Men reunite made me feel like a child again, and it was definitely worth watching in theaters. The ending could've been better though, I was left unsatisfied with Peter's decision to avoid his friends, but other than that, it was great.
Turning Red (2022)
"She looked as if she had never seen anything quite so horrible in all her life" - Michael Rosen
Long story short, I just hate this movie. From the absolute cringe that this movie calls "character development", to the "wonderful" message about rebelling against your parents. Now that I've gotten that out of the way, time to actually review it. The story sucks, there's a girl going through puberty that gets turned into a panda, she starts a scheme to get money for a boy band concert, and then her mom also becomes a panda and destroys the city. How does our protagonist defeat her mother? By twerking, obviously. I'm not even joking, that's what actually happens. (such a great role model for kids!). The characters are all annoying, and the only people that can relate to them are pre-teen TikTok users. The animation is overly simplistic, a far cry from what Pixar is known for, and overall, everything feels like a massive downgrade. I'm not even gonna say this is Netflix quality, because it's even worse than that. It feels like Pixar took everything that didn't work and smashed it into one movie. So, to summarize, it's awful. The story is awful, the message is awful, everything is just awful. I'd rather re-watch Cars 2 a million times than have to re-watch this once. Sometimes I wish IMDb had a zero star option.
Forrest Gump (1994)
This is a film like no other.
In all my years of watching movies, I've never really taken them seriously. But when I watched this movie, it changed everything. I experienced emotions I never knew I could get from a movie, sadness, grief, relief, satisfaction, and raw joy. This is THE feel good movie, yes, you will be put on a roller coaster of emotions, but it is worth it. And hey, if you know US history, you'll especially love this one. Overall, this movie is perfect, from Tom Hanks' portrayal of Forrest, all the way to one of the most satisfying endings in all of cinema.
The Sea Beast (2022)
"A bit rich, but okay." - Michael Rosen
It's an above average Netflix movie. You have a generic adventure story with vibrant colors and a "lesson". The one thing that did surprise me however was the animation. Holy smokes, the animation is good. But, that's it. It's a normal kids movie with Pixar-level animation, what else can I say?
Ms. Marvel: Generation Why (2022)
First Impressions Matter.
You know, they say first impressions are everything. Well, this show obviously hasn't taken a hint. The characters feel one-dimensional and at times annoying, and it's a challenge just trying to establish a connection to them. I've never been so instantly turned off by a Marvel show, it's surprising. As for the rest of the show, can't say much on it here. Overall, I thought the first episode was awful, but maybe it's just not for me, who knows.
The Lost City (2022)
It's okay.
An author writes a novel believing it to be fiction only to find out it's all real. It's a seemingly perfect concept on paper, (pun intended), but the execution falls short. Lots of the jokes don't really land and the plot never seems to go in a satisfying direction. It's a bit entertaining, but I can't really say much else. Overall, it's mediocre.
Minions: The Rise of Gru (2022)
Illumination is at it again.
It's very funny and very entertaining, in fact, everyone in the theater was laughing out loud with us, (not just the kids). It's not perfect, it's definitely flawed in several ways, but if you want a fun way to kill time, here it is. (It's way better than the first Minions, in case you were wondering.)
Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)
Ragnarok is better.
It was entertaining... That's about it. The story felt all over the place and the ending left a lot to be desired. Overall, it was an average movie with not a lot to offer, but good if you can turn your brain off. I'd still rather re-watch Ragnarok.
