The Kid Who Would Be King (2019)
Surprisingly entertaining
Young merlin is a brilliant actor, an exciting new actor to watch.
I like the modern update with Google translate and jabbing at the world being fragmented and unkind. Kind of aware of kids growing up in a time like this.
It is still great to remind ourselves and the younger generation what makes a good person.
Also I will pay more attention to young Serkis who's young start looks promising.
Movie-wise, I agree it's a little too long and Morgana doesn't really get much screen time to develop her presence, though her voice was very enjoyable.
Batman Ninja (2018)
It's easier to like this movie if you are not a Batman fan
It's a really fun movie, superb animation and character design. People need to give credit to the design team for they help to tell the story very much beyond what's immediately available in the storyline. I loved the anime style 2d-like 3D artwork, the art and details are amazing! I'm not a DC fan, I don't get offended by the merge of Batman and his tech into feudal era Japan, it was a good blend of high tech batmobiles and olden days utilities, it goes to show how adaptable the characters are into absorbing resources for their own aims.
Did I mention the CG was great? Easily the best 2D rendition of 3D I have seen so far.
La La Land (2016)
I really don't get why this movie is "So so good"
I'm being really shallow here, but I can't see past Emma's huge eyes and odd teeth. During the song about dreams, I was mixed with wanting to feel her emotions and being fixated at how her mouth works to create sound. Does anybody else feel the same way?
I watched this movie having very high expectations due to how it has been reviewed as "So so good" and the number of Oscars it has won. I find the result a huge "meh". I don't think it's bad, it's just not THAT good, and I sure don't get why it's being lauded so.
It is to me at best a 6/10.
Even though it is a musical, I came out of the show not able to remember even one number vividly. The opening dance had potential but soon degraded and became bit of a bore when everyone started dancing on the cars, and that scene almost didn't have any much purpose except to tell people "Hey I'm a musical, watch me dance and sing in the middle of the highway".
It's difficult not to compare this movie to Disney's Beauty and the Beast, since Emmas from both shows had both offers. Though both Emmas aren't superb singers, I'd say Watson at least looks more natural singing, because Stone's eyes and mouth are just too distracting for me.
There really isn't enough good singing and dancing to justify this movie to be a massive award winning one.
Well, the fact that Ryan Gosling plays the piano well may gain some favours.
Ultimately, a big MEH.
