Mostly just dumb, but every now and then it surprises you with unadulterated comedy genius.

Some great samples in here. I haven't liked Kanye's stuff in a while, but this is a good return to form.

1 point for every time the Dissolve Out effect was used

Bafflingly poor writing and rhetoric. The terrorists just randomly start lecturing liberals about what America stands for. It's more like someone aimlessly waving their hands in front of them instead of actually making a single argument. There's also no concept of "show, don't tell" in this movie. Anything the writer wants to tell you is just flat out explained to you as if you were a toddler.

Anyone stupid enough to watch this will be stupid enough to fall for its fear-mongering affirmation crap. I worry for these people. They really don't know the world they live in anymore.

I've always felt that my friends played a crucial, thankless role in my formative years: all of that trouble, that joy, and that honest conversation. This movie gets that. It intentionally offers the perspective from the view of a grown adult, who knows those years are long gone. I hope in that inevitable period where I fully become an adult I see it in this same bittersweet way, and don't forget what it was like to be a kid.

Anxiety is criminally unexplored territory in mainstream media, and I'm always happy to see it given some love. I reject the notion that embracing the topic is 'cringe'.

That said, AJR's music is a slap in the face. Every single song on this album is about social anxiety, yet it always comes off as extremely whiny and childish. The creators are middle-aged men who clearly haven't figured it out, but they think they can act as a voice for lonely people. They romanticize fear instead of treating it. It's harmful. If you want help, get therapy.

Criticizing the musicality of this album is low-hanging fruit. It's shopping mall wigga music, and no one is debating this.

A horror movie by any regard. It has no concept of when a bit becomes unfunny. Everyone in the design department was on crack.

The two main characters have a fun dynamic, but other than that there isn't much to say. The "musical" bits are extremely forgettable.

Probably the best of the Tom Holland series. I like how they actually developed the villain and gave her motivation. The writing is as corny as usual. They also continue the annoying Marvel trope of throwing in random outside characters.

Not all that scary, but definitely unsettling. There is rarely a moment where you know what's going on. The plot is as minimalist as the rooms, but it's enough to show off what the movie has to offer. I love how the room designs lie right in that uncanny valley of just vaguely familiar. I felt the actors did a good job making it feel like you, the viewer, is exploring the Backrooms yourself.

(Note: This is my first time watching anything Backrooms-related. There may be some novelty bias)

I didn't appreciate this movie's subtle genius on the first watch, unfortunately. It's very funny and a well-done adaptation of the Odyssey. The story is a slower burn but keeps you engaged the whole way. Bravo Coen Bros., you've done it again.

One Act writing

I first listened to this album around 4 days ago and it's still stuck inside my head.

Cleanup on aisle: my pants!

Illumination is genuinely the worst man.

Occasionally very funny.

Basically the definition of a fun bad movie.

It's hard to tell people, but this movie is a genuine, unironic masterpiece of comedy and filmmaking.

Very short.

By far the best ride at Silverwood. It's just scary enough to be a thrill ride, and designed in a way that makes it relaxing on subsequent runs.

The inferior of the wooden rides, but still very respectable.

Probably the most well-themed ride at Silverwood. The single rider seats and mininal guardrails make it scarier than most others too.

Good but uninteresting.

Very scary, very fast, but not very fun to do again.

Way better than the similar Popeye water ride at Orlando.

Has one pretty big drop, but otherwise is basic.

The best water ride at Silverwood.

Scariest ride at Silverwood

When a 90-degree turn comes up, it's all quiet on the frontal lobe

Simple yet delicious food. The sauce is absolutely as good as they say it is.

Surprisingly accurate to the Odyssey, since the Telemachus parts were boring and the Odysseus parts were cool.

I dropped the pen like Anton ego when i tasted the grilled cheese

Very good burrito and horchata.

Decent, slightly overpriced food.

The best steak I've ever had.

They have a pizza called "Black Olives Matter".

Really good fast food for a decent price.

(Eureka, CA)

A better Rear Window.

It's basically just Prince of Egypt with a less interesting narrative and worse songs. Probably the best thing Angel Studios has made in a while.

Bad in pretty much every department you can think of. The animation is nightmare-inducing.

One of those movies where you learn to accept halfway through that you're not getting an explanation for anything whatsoever.

And that's okay.

Probably the funkiest album I've ever heard. Zero bad songs. Technically a soundtrack but works perfectly on its own.

30% amazing hits, 70% background music.

It's still got that classic Spider-Man charm, but this time with over-the-top CGI that makes sure you know the movie has a really big budget!

A blast. I really like the unique style of humor that old Muppets movies have, and the songs are always really well done for a musical. In my opinion the 4th wall break gag was a bit overused, but that is a small complaint.

A case study in bad storytelling. The world design is interesting, though.

The Latina woman had two very big

eyes

Dead basic lyrics but incredible instrumentation. Pretty much as authentically Motown as it gets.

If you like long Pink Floyd instrumentals, this album is basically heaven.

For some reason this movie tries to have a political message, but it doesn't work at all with the story. Most of the characters are one-sided and annoying.

Jackie Chan's acrobatics make the action scenes worth seeing. Otherwise, pretty basic.

Overall good but way too many sex scenes

Commits the same sins most musicals do: awkwardly inserted songs, "musical logic" in the story, and just a general lack of self-awareness. The message is solid, though often shoved in your face. I liked the set designs—and for what it's worth, it's definitely not boring.

Everywhere at the End of Time: The Movie. The visual effects are unreal man.

Funny but has zero value as an actual lesson. The examples were too distracting to care about anything else.

This movie has many problems, but the one that bugged me the most was the soundtrack. Every single scene insists on having music blasting over it, even when it is completely unnecessary. In the parts where Bart's dad is abusing him, the stupid low drone turns what is otherwise a well-performed scene into a Dhar Mann parody. The editing is way too much in some areas as well. I like the song it's based on, at least..

The story of a moron, who ironically, is the only one smart enough to figure out what his purpose is. Despite its confusing messaging, I found this movie to be very heartwarming, and the characters are memorable. I will be returning to Bubba Gump's, hungry for more.

Chords straight from the pearly gates

One of the greatest comedies ever. It pulls zero punches. Thanks to the fact that 90% of it is unscripted, you get a rare look into the ugly hypocrisy of "civilized" Americans when their guards are down.

The criticism I give you is..










it's trash

An absolute monster of a movie that never loses steam. You watch Marty in horror as he bulldozes through everyone's lives to get what he wants, completely oblivious to the consequences. Equally, you want him to prove himself in the face of the snobs that don't see his vision. Every plot twist is total whiplash. Also like 1% of this movie is ping pong.

"There are no bugs in my skin, Mr. Ian"

"..Are you sure?"🧙‍♂️

This album has a vibe that is matched only by albums like Pet Sounds, which this narrowly clears. Your ears will be blessed by the beautiful instrumentals. The outtakes are cool because they let you look into the song-making process, which makes the re-listen even better.

Favorite track: Surf's Up

A few really great songs but not a lot of variety in terms of song structure.

I've never seen a sports movie quite like this. It follows very few conventions and lets you in on the character of Mark in such a personal way that you can't help but root for him. It never shies away from his flaws, either. You get all of him, like it or not. I appreciated the minimal editing and slower pacing so I could get time to really digest everything without all that noise. I love how he is written as a gentle giant and destroys his opponents in an almost cartoonish way. He is a vibrant character that dominates every scene he's in. Mark and Dawn's characters are great and add a lot to the story, too. In a strange way, this movie's down-to-earth vibe comforted me. I highly recommend giving it a watch for its unique take on Mark's life as well as its impressive display of the wrestling sport.

A charming movie that captures the essence of the book fairly well. My only problems were with the editing and soundtrack, which were distracting and overbearing at times. Other than that it's a vibe, and you should definitely give it a watch.

The broken tracks and animatronics were cool but the ride itself isn't worth too long a wait

Kinda short

Very fun but a bit short

Waited like 2 decades for it but the ride was slick and had some unexpected twists

Better than Fast and Furious because Kong jizzes on you halfway through the ride

A rare combo of terrifyingly fast and just genuinely fun at the same time.

Cool animatronics and a crazy drop

Very impressive visuals with some of the best action scenes out there. They sometimes over-explain stuff, probably for fear of people losing track of all the new concepts, though I never felt it was necessary. The environments capture a unique, uneasy vibe that pulls you in and constantly keeps you on edge.

An incredible movie where something is always happening, yet nothing happens at all

Kinda jerky but definitely intense and worth a good wait.

Kinda weak in all aspects and definitely not worth the 90-minute wait

I can stop whenever I want to I can stop whenever I want to I can stop whenever I want to I can

With her enticing speech she caused him to yield, with her flattering lips she seduced him.

Immediately he went after her, as an ox goes to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks—

Till an arrow struck his liver. As a bird hastens to the snare, he did not know it would cost his life.

Proverbs 7:21-23

Relaxing and whimsical

Ironically, the only bad part was the video game..

Way too short and I couldn't figure out how to tilt the dragon. I like regular hang gliders better where you can lay horizontally.

Speed that got you going "shiver me timbers"😭

Great use of animatronics, but the illusion cracks here and there when you can see the screens

Boring and tries too hard to involve you in the "story", making it cringe

Not worth the 60 min wait 😔

Bear my children Jimmy

Cool mix of screens and animatronics

"And they lived happily ever after" ahh

Feels a lot like an Interstellar or Martian clone, but it still has merit as its own thing. The cinematography is very impressive, and Ryan Gosling delivers a good performance. However, the writing suffers from the same problems The Martian does, often feeling corny and bland. All in all, it's another solid space movie that doesn't really step too far outside its comfort zone.

The best parts of this album are the dreamy, trance-like tracks (I'll Be Your Mirror, Sunday Morning, Femme Fatale). It also goes to the complete other extreme with grating, droning tracks like Heroin and Venus in Furs, which work very well. Thrown in are a couple mid rock songs.

I was going to say that European Son was the "Revolution 9" of the album and then found that someone on Reddit said the EXACT same thing about it 😭 (by this I mean the song frankly sounds terrible but is still fun and deserves to be on the album to complete the experience)

At Last got me groovin' involuntarily man

A lot of this movie is cliché, checking off Pixar's standard emotional boxes. Then it just completely loses its mind.

This album introduced me to the concept of a rapper who isn't just a celebrity, but a genuine artist. The heavy, deeply meaningful lyrics were such whiplash for me that it spoiled me to the point of not being able to listen to much else. It was the first time I truly appreciated rap.

In a lot of rap, you'll often get the impression that the dude just got out of bed and started recording. They sound bored or uninterested. Kendrick, however, is a performer. He packs emotional weight into every nook and cranny of his lyrics, especially with songs like u and The Blacker The Berry. You don't even have to know the full history of what he's talking about to appreciate and sympathize with his plight.

Needless to say, the lyrics themselves are some of the finest in the rap game. These Walls is just one big double entendre with value as both a comedic and a serious track, depending on how you listen to it. His rhyme schemes are complex and even dizzying at times, much like MF Doom or young Eminem. He's my absolute favorite "wordsmith."

The effortless mix of jazz and rap is the cherry on top. For Free? is just an interlude but is one of my favorite tracks just because of how impossible the production and flow is. Like how do you even come up with that😭

This is by far my favorite rap album. Give it a listen immediately if you're into rap as an art. It clears anything you'll get from celebrity "rappers" like Carti and Drake.

Favorite track: i

I was shocked by how good this performance was, especially in comparison to the One Acts. Shane was the obvious highlight of the show with his very funny Russian character and accent, though really everyone did a great job carrying their weight. The writing itself was meh, but that isn't the actors' fault. Without a doubt the best CPC play I've seen yet.

Also what are we doing Bobby

There are no bad songs on this album. So many hard-hitting classics, ranging from heavy rock anthems to delicate, emotional mastapieces. An absolute necessity to listen to if you like music.

Favorite track: Stairway to Heaven

Hilarious parody with metaphor that rivals even Shakespeare.

Griffin calling his review "generosity" as if Easton's entire career depends on his Hood Heat entry like Gusteau's and Anton Ego or sm 😭

Has a unique, instantly recognizable sound that is like no other album I've heard before. The rhythm and instrumentation is wild and all over the place in a somehow coherent way. Definitely recommend for the roller-coaster-like experience.

Favorite track: The Advent of Panurge

⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛

Who's elijar

Literally just a Dhar mann video

(s1e7)

My go-to packable snack. It's literally just compressed fruit, unlike most other fruit leathers that are filled with random extra crap to enhance the flavor.

Accurate

Boring and uninspired. Flooded with cringey ad libs and repetitive beats, this is the worst album I've ever listened to.

I am NOT white enough for ts

Ghibli food got me reaching through the screen but pulling back bc I'm NOT tryna be turned into a pig😭

Everything about this movie is incredibly well-done, but what caught my attention most was the world-building. Each time a new creature or idea is introduced, you are left with a few unanswered questions that keep you engaged. As the story progresses, you sink into the world, but never get fully used to it. Needless to say, the animation and soundtrack work wonders- you almost forget it's just a movie. My only confusion was with the use of magic. It seems kinda thrown in at random without clear rules, but this is a minor issue. Overall, I highly recommend.

Good portion sizes, excellent thick shakes.

Originally found these guys through their Pink Floyd covers, and it's safe to say their talent extends to original music as well. This album is funky and fun, with only a couple weak tracks.

Favorite track: Last Call

Their cover of Time / The Great Gig in the Sky:
https://youtu.be/BeHIo935-Xw (this is their best work imo- it perfectly highlights their understanding of the music)

Directed in a fun, over-the-top way that keeps you invested the whole way through. They somehow made Mark Zuckerberg an interesting character to watch!

CINEMA ✋😐🤚

A couple songs feel like filler (Speed Demon, Just Good Friends), but otherwise this album is very solid. It's got some monumental classics like Man in the Mirror and Smooth Criminal. The songs don't transition too well into each other, losing that cohesive album feel, but that is minor.

Favorite track: Another Part of Me

Sleeper pick fr. The strawberry ice cream is peak

The scene where he tries to block his door with a chair took physical control of my lungs for like 10 minutes

If you liked Napoleon Dynamite, this one has a similar vibe: simple, character-focused, and subtly funny. There are some annoying clichés that drag it down, though (namely the principal scenes). The minimal editing/soundtrack gives it a natural feel. It's oddly comforting, and reminds us to take it easy sometimes (but maybe not as easy as Bueller)

A must-see classic. While the animation may be dated, they more than make up for it with perfect pacing and lovable characters. The comedy is used in a way that never detracts from the intensity of important scenes. My favorite scene is where Hiccup finally learns to fly. You can feel every tilt of the wings, every terrifying swoop, and every ounce of exhilaration. There are so many perfectly done scenes like these. If you've put it off for as long as I have, watch it now. Chef's kiss.

🐲

Dickens is very good at making unique characters and metaphors. Jerry Cruncher is the funniest dude ever

Undoubtedly one of the greatest albums/artists ever. MJ's music transcends generations.

Favorite track: The Girl Is Mine

This album reminds me of the early Beatles albums: a few great songs, and the rest is filler. The last 5 songs in particular are very, very mid.

Favorite track: The Village Green Preservation Society

Claaaassic. So many memes came from this one movie. Kronk, Cuzco, and Pacha are iconic and perfectly written characters. Take out the dumb cat scenes and some unnecessary "that just happened" lines, and you have yourself a perfect movie.

Reptilia basically defined my early teens, so it was nice to come back and listen to a full Strokes album. Something about their style is so addictive to me. I love their crisp basslines and iconic vocals.

Favorite track: The Adults Are Talking

On first listen I was blinded by the hype of a new release. Upon re-listen, this album is mid at best. A lot of the songs are very dumb.

Favorite track: Like Him

I like this restaurant's gimmick. It lets you try a wide variety of foods for a mid-range price. The Dragon Roll is good but Garrett had to take the orange fizzy soda away from me because it would make me go crazy and hurt myself and others

Took me a few listens to fully appreciate this album. The melodies are very catchy, and the tone of the album feels small and whimsical. I only wish some of the songs were longer—most of them cut off after only 2 minutes.

Favorite track: Friends

Griffin and Will carried the dumb ahh plot

The ending was strangely abrupt and it was very slow. Pretty good for a first original script.

Don't act like you've never done this 😂

Manipulative and dry. The bells gave me Silksong PTSD

A great comfort food. Haagen-Dazs simply doesn't miss.

I aspire to one day to have a fraction of the skill this man has on the sax.

The cat in the gyatt

This album is just banger after banger. It's crazy to think this was made in 1973—the sound is so crisp and detailed that it could pass for something produced today.

Favorite track: The Great Gig in the Sky

This movie looks absolutely disgusting and has some very annoying characters. That said, this version is still way more entertaining than Illumination's, and the practical effects definitely deserve some credit.

Such a unique movie. The plot is bonkers and the characters are impossible to dislike.

Basically on-par with the first one. All-around solid animation and story, but very cliché at times. There was an egregious amount of furry bait.

The uncanny realism of The Polar Express meets the goofy camerawork of Zack D. Films. It may be ugly, but in a way it's charming. The story is told in an interesting, non-linear way. The transitions between past and present are sick. It captures the old murder mystery feel really well.

A very touching story with camerawork by Sam himself.

Pretty emotionally manipulative, especially during the childhood scenes. Every line of dialogue is delivered in the same exact monotonous way, which nearly put me to sleep. If you've seen Cabrini, it's just more of that.

This movie is like if someone tried to make an adaptation of Screwtape Letters but made the story unintelligible and dumbed everything down for no reason. Seriously, why does the demon spend half the movie convincing an atheist of the Christian faith and how murder is bad?? If the demon wants the atheist to "write his story" or whatever, why does he try to make him kill himself at the end? The demon's motivations make no sense. On top of this, the characters overexplain EVERYTHING that happens, leaving nothing for the viewer to figure out at all. Even with the spoonfeeding, it still didn't make sense because the story is just that poorly written. I liked some of the acting and the ethical question of whether someone with dual personalities is responsible for things they did unwittingly. Besides that, this movie is useless. It's marketed as a "Christian horror/thriller," but who is it even for? Christians will see this and go, "Yep, that was theology," and I don't see any non-Christian viewer being convinced by this poor excuse for a Christian argument. Just read Screwtape Letters instead.

And just when all hope is lost, Syndrome will save the day!

It's okay. Mysterio is sometimes a funny villain but he's hard to care about. His backstory monologue is F-tier exposition. The movie embraces its own awkwardness pretty well. Too many overused tropes ruin the side characters, though. There's really no single "fix" for this one. It just feels generally flat and uninspired. It's what I would call a "useless" Spider-Man movie. Life would go on if it wasn't a thing.

There are zero jokes that land in this movie. The soundtrack is weirdly a bop, though??

Watched in theaters with my inventor buddies. I liked the businessman and sailor characters and the ending was hilarious. Also shark gyat

Excruciatingly boring. There was no creativity in the suspense scenes. A main character just stands really still for a couple minutes, a dino creeps around, and then just eventually gives up. They do this about ten times. The chase scene in the village is pretty cool but that's about it. I also thought it was funny how the villain was just Tim Cook. When he punched the chair I audibly laughed.

I don't even think this is the first movie I've seen where they define "being human" as liking Rihanna.

A very confusing movie, except for when they explain every single reference to me like I'm a baby. A very funny movie, except for when it's sometimes awful and repetitive (seriously they milk the window joke like 20 times). A very pretty movie, except for when it looks like a MrBeast thumbnail. It's horrible and good but never boring. It's not worth missing Spy Kids 2 movie night for, though.

Only occasionally fun-bad. They sit you down and make you watch the most boring and useless character react to the whole movie. Not a single emotional beat or joke lands. Absolute cinema.

The greatest product of the furry community to date.

Idk what I expected it's rio 2

The best part of this movie is the setting. Like in 12 Angry Men, the director chose to limit the entire movie to one enclosed area, making for some very cool shots. Getting to see into the lives of Jeff's neighbors through the window is a good idea on paper but was underdeveloped in execution. The main plot is slow and predictable. It's supposed to be suspenseful but it only gets tense at the very end, then it's suddenly over. I left this movie with a feeling of "that's it?" It just seems unfinished at worst and gimmicky at best.

An emotional rollercoaster that I loved every minute of. James Stewart plays the part so perfectly that you forget you're watching fiction.

A sweet story with pretty mid-tier writing. I'm just glad to see big-budget originals, even if they don't blow my mind or anything.

One of those movies that's hard to peel your eyes away from once you've started watching. It has random XD humor but it somehow works and the story still feels coherent by the end. Every little awkward "mistake" in this movie fits right into its charming silliness so perfectly that you wonder what you just watched and when you'll get to watch it again all at the same time.

An incredible movie. Yeah, some parts were a little unrealistic and made me roll my eyes but accuracy isn't really the point. It's about a father's love for his son even through hardship. Even though it takes place during the Holocaust, the comedy never makes light of the tragedy. I loved watching this movie and see why it's considered a classic.

Lex throws weapon at Superman, Superman destroys it, Lex throws bigger weapon at Superman, Superman barely destroys it, etc. Pretty worthless but the action is fun to look at. The B-plot hero gang reminded me of the Justice Society from Black Adam: annoying and fatally underwritten. Just another reminder that DC is tired.

Cinema.

One moment you're watching one of the most realistic, relatable panic attack scenes to be portrayed in film, and the next you're dragged into an endlessly boring B-plot with AI-generated dialogue. Clearly they had very knowledgeable people working on this to capture Anxiety perfectly, and I actually really like the character they came up with. But the avalanche of soulless side quests ruins the whole plot. I think if this was the old Pixar, they could have nailed a concept like this. The falloff is disappointingly real.

Close enough, welcome back Watership Down.

Though I didn't always understand what was going on, I still liked my experience with this movie. I liked the dynamic between the animals and the way they learned to live with one another to survive. Keep in mind I'm a little biased towards movies with low dialogue and funny cat characters, but I still recommend giving this a watch if you want something chill.

Don't listen to Rotten Tomatoes or IMDB or Schaffrillas—this movie is a masterpiece with Bill Murray as the best voice for Garfield since Chris Pratt. I curse the foul AI pile of slop that is the 2024 Garfield Movie and thank the makers of this comedic genius instead. I'm sorry I ever doubted you guys.

(As much as I'm writing this to shoot spitballs at the 2024 spin-off, I actually like this movie a lot, even though I might just be nostalgic for it. Yeah, Dargis is a terrible villain and the plot is overused, but so what? Let a man have his fun.)

This movie dropped like a bombshell when it first came out, and the feeling of being alive when an actual Mario movie released felt special. Going back, I feel little of the same emotion. I'm glad this movie exists, and Peaches is a hood classic. But for the most part, it's just corporate slop with no soul. The only good time to watch this movie was when it first released and everyone (including myself) was going nuts over it. Still one of the best video game adaptations out there, though.

When Petey chose to cancel the abortion, a tear ran down my thigh.

This movie checks all of the adaptation boxes, but feels unpolished to me. It is true to its source material (I read every book, trust) and changes just enough to be its own thing. The animation looks good. However, pretty much everything about this movie has room for improvement. The pacing is a little rushed, the characters are too underdeveloped for us to care about them, the jokes are generic, etc. I'd say only watch this if you already read the series. You'll have fun spotting the references.

I got the honor of watching this film with a live orchestra and jazz band playing the score in real time. It is a fun, colorful masterpiece that already feels like a classic even though it only came out in 2016. My favorite thing about this movie is the way it leaves in intentional "mistakes" to make the characters more human. The dialogue is sometimes intentionally awkward, but somehow never cringey. The score is beautiful and the musical numbers smooth. Ryan Gosling is literally me.

The first Sonic movie I could watch without projectile vomitting into my never-ending pasta bowl. Jim Carrey's performance finally compliments the movie's wackiness in a way that works, and the plot is wholesome. The Gerald Robotnik death scene is cinema. Still, this is a Sonic movie. Expect the dialogue to sound like a fourth grade play.

Very cheesy but it's obvious that lots of passion went into making this. Half of the meta references have already aged like milk. Still, I enjoyed this on my second watchthrough. Guilty pleasure, I guess.

Favorite song?
Everything is Awesome!
Oh no...

Ready Player One follows in the footsteps of film masterpieces such as Pixels (2015) and The Emoji Movie (2017). It is an extravaganza of subtle, obscure references waiting to be found by only the hardcore culturists. If you haven't even watched the obscure indie movie, The Shining, consider this one too cultured for you.

In all seriousness, this movie is just two hours of sweaty gamer fantasy. No matter how I predicted the plot would go, it would always take a stupider turn. It only has value as a fun-bad party movie.

Surprisingly mature message. Usually is funny when it isn't trying to be.

The resolution to the tragic story of Oedipus told with a gospel spin. So much talent from the choir and actors. Only hinderance is the occasionally bad mixing; subtitles would've been nice.

I tell you what is. Peoples is peoples. Muppet is good? Is excitement. Is potatoes.

Daily Wire movies aren't my cup of tea, but I still found myself impressed with this one. The jokes work best when they write themselves, and luckily most are of this kind. I appreciate the focus on the real problems surrounding the destruction of gender; it's a breath of air from the childish insults I've grown so tired of hearing from the Right lately. I recommend this movie.

Rare example of a movie that would actually benefit from modern high-budget CGI. The shots on the water are underwhelming and the camera rarely leaves Santiago's face. The book seems like it could make for a great adaption but this ain't it. Also, the added B-plot about the random couple is trash. There's just too much bloat and not enough boat. 🤣 🤣 🪦

We only realize how beautiful life is when we face death.

Ikiru trumps its 2022 remake by miles. Shimura's character shows a much wider spectrum of emotion than Nighy's. His facial expressions alone carry the weight of the story. Watanabe's singing on the swing is such a beautifully done scene that it would be a crime not to call it a masterpiece. Clear English subtitles are available for Ikiru, so you have no excuse not to go see it for yourself.  :)

🛝

Everybody shush, important part coming up
*quiet party popper sound effect*

This movie has an interesting idea and doesn't overstay its welcome. Feels like a pilot for a TV show where they introduce an experimental concept. Good for what it is.

Across carries the momentum of the first Spider-Verse movie beautifully. It is an infinitely rewatchable masterpiece and unexpectedly great for a sequel. My favorite part of this movie is the dialogue. The writers did a fantastic job at giving every character something to say at every possible second. I'm amazed at how fast and fluid all of the conversations are. If Beyond is any good, we will have a perfect trilogy on our hands.

🕸️

This movie is chill. It's slow and quiet while showing death and cruelty. Even though the story comes to an unimaginative resolution, I'll remember the witty dialogue and unique characters fondly.

Never let Garfield cook again. This movie might just be impossible to sit through alone. Whenever I laughed, it was because of a toddler who kept randomly cackling behind us in the theater we were in. Uber unfunny.

A wholesome children's movie that I believe grown-ups can still appreciate. It is charming and innocent while maintaining the mood that comes from the TV series. The awkwardly inserted romance and the occasional cringey jokes are basically the only hiccups.

It's been a while since I've wanted to watch a movie again right after finishing it. Some songs are sung multiple times but in different contexts, adding depth and memorability to already catchy melodies. In many musicals, the way the characters sing-talk sounds unnatural, but that is never the case here. They also take time to flesh out every one of the characters, giving the audience a sort of personal connection with the Trapp family. By the end of the story, you feel like you've lived a whole life with them. Whenever there's romance, it is never plastic. Definitely take some time to sit down and enjoy this masterpiece.

This movie's main focus is on its characters. Most scenes are defined by just one animal or group goofing around with Mowgli. It makes the movie light on the story but big on the charm. Watch if you want something short and sweet with a bit of groove sprinkled in.

🐘

Cabrini is about an Italian nun that upgrades her Town Hall to house poor street kids. The story is interesting but very slow.

Readers of the book will likely appreciate the story much more. Major plot points are sped through and buildup for anything is virtually absent. Turbo-speed pacing aside, this movie is enjoyable but seeing as Kehaar never once said the word 'mudders,' I have no choice but to give this a zero out of ten.

An insipid piece of trash that makes me appreciate the first movie just a bit more. The horrendous writing completely nullifies the above-average animation and the lack of plot events is astounding.

Compared to the first part, this movie has much more variety between scenes. It has a more complete story, allowing it to be better as a standalone work. You feel satisfied by the end instead of being left half-empty. The fight scenes are insane. You don't just get a fuzzy idea of who is winning or losing; you can feel every swipe and motion. I doubt anyone will argue with the fact that the worm riding scene is one of the best. It truly amazed me. Everyone needs to experience it at least once in their life. The score lifts the movie to another level and gives it a very distinct feel. Having watched both movies, I now feel like I'm a part of Arrakis myself. The way the story is told makes it feel like you are being transported right into it. Movies should be like this. As for minor negatives: some lines are delivered so dramatically that they wrap around to being awkward, Paul and Chani's relationship feels plastic, and the variety between scenes still has some room for improvement.

Somehow manages to sidestep every problem conventional video game movies tend to have. The writing is funny and the characters are instantly iconic. I liked when Ralph called Vanellope "Baroness Boogerface."

This movie never stops moving until the whole and deserved ending. The characters are unique and recognizable. You grow a fondness of both Hank and Carl and wind up rooting for them to be friends. The scenes are well-shot and are never distracting, unlike a lot of other action movies. I recommend this movie for a fun time, but watch out for a couple of the scenes.

I already don't remember anything about this movie. The characters are about as flat as you can get. I don't care about any of them. The score sounds like copyright-free inspirational music. Nothing about the dialogue sticks out. The laughs from my friends whenever the main love interest makes a poor attempt at an innuendo were the only things keeping me awake. You won't miss anything by not watching this. Read a summary online and you'll be set.

One of my guilty pleasures. So many family movies try way too hard to be relatable, but this movie pulls it off naturally while also being funny. I can't really think of any big words to describe why I like it. Old people often like the strangest movies just because they are charming and dumb, and this is a rare case where I tend to agree.

Mediocre but the brainwashing part was spooky. There is more prevalent feminism in this one than in the first.

A Christian movie I can actually recommend to everyone. Kylie Rogers does an amazing job at the emotional stuff for a kid. Every scene feels genuine. The story itself is one that actually has a reason to be dramatized in a movie, unlike a lot of other Christian stories that would be better off not doing so. The theme of leaving situations in God's hands is conveyed very well, too. The based dad puts his faith in God from the beginning in contrast to the mom, who has to see to believe.

I looked at the Rotten Tomatoes critic reviews for this movie and a lot of them say something along the lines of, "This movie is too preachy!" or, "No one but Christians will like this movie." I disagree. It's pretty clear that thought was put into it being interesting while also having an underlying Biblical moral. Non-Christians could definitely find some comfort or satisfaction from this, even if the faith part is not for them.

Amazing animation and story. There are lots of morals you can get from this. The characters are unique and deep. I don't like a couple tiny things about this movie, but I still fully recommend giving it a watch.

The first act has excellent world-building, lovable characters, and beautiful scenery. The second act has a mid plot, pace slowdown, and underwhelming action sequences. It really is a shame how downhill this movie goes after the hunters get involved. I've seen this storyline done a million times before; I just wish this one was more distinct.

This movie looks like a two-hour improv. Super lazy and obviously unplanned. I rarely laughed.

This movie is awesome. You can watch it again and again and it will still be fun. There are tons of Warner Bros. characters that appear but they are used in such a way that never makes the movie feel like an advertisement. It's crazy to think that this is just a family movie but is still this good.

Just another cringey family disaster movie that isn't worth your time.

Memorable songs, impressive sets, and thoughtful themes. One of these themes is about accepting people born with oddities. Unfortunately, this movie is scarred by the normalization craze going on in our world right now. I can't look at the Bearded Lady the same, gosh darn it! Anyway, I still enjoy this movie after around my seventh watch through, so that says something.

This here is a deserved and well-made sequel. You don't see these often, do you? The B-plot is kind of eh but it actually has a purpose. The emotional scenes in this movie made me cry when I was younger. Can't wait to watch Al Story 3!

This is a quiet watch-once experience. It tells us to find joy in life rather than waste it away by being a zombie.

I know I'm going to get endlessly memed on for this review, but I'm not going to change my opinion to please others.

The Bad Guys is not at all a bad movie (no pun intended), but I'd be lying if I said it was great. There are a couple of furry appeals and feminist bits, but the majority of it is solid. The story has already been done to death before, but this presented it in an interesting way. The pacing was comfortably fast and kept my attention. I honestly didn't cringe as much as I was told I was going to. I might just be in a generous mood, I don't know.

The biggest problem with this movie is that there is no audience that will like it. If you're a kid, you'll be confused by the plethora of adult jokes fit into every single possible space in the dialogue. If you're an adult, you won't care about the nerdy game stuff. Calling this movie nerdy is a huge overstatement, though. There are a TON of inaccuracies and plot holes. It goes without saying that the dialogue (and pretty much everything anyone does) is super cringey. While watching this with friends, we noticed that it looks like it was written by some salty gamer that got rejected by a girl or something, so they made this fiction where the gamers get the girl and become liked by everybody. I could say more, but I have to wrap this review up because I need to marry Q*bert.

Raising Arizona is a wildly fun movie about two parents that can't have children so they steal another couple's child. Trust me when I say that it's not as weird as it sounds. The story ends on a satisfying note and makes the movie go from random to perfect real quick. I find it hard to have complaints about this one because everything that could be seen as weird or cringey actually fits the movie's style well and doesn't feel out of place. Just watch it and you'll see what I mean.

While being a little slow with few jokes that actually hit, this movie is harmless. It has a cute ending and unique characters that fleshed out the Muppet franchise. Still, it's nothing much to write home about.

Groundhog Day is a hilarious and heartwarming masterpiece of a movie. This is my second time watching it now, and it is just as good as I remember it being. Nearly every joke lands, and Phil's crazy stunts are super fun to watch. Watching the first act is like watching a dream unfold. The second act has a more serious tone but is not boring or dragged out; it keeps the pace going wonderfully. The romantic scenes are the some of the best and most creative I've seen. Even if you're not into lovey-dovey stuff, I still 100% recommend this. You could compare this to The Truman Show. It has a cool quirk, it's a little bit existential, and it's eye-candy to watch. Lastly, I'd like to say that I'm glad that they didn't feel the need to explain every minute detail about how or why the repeating day mechanic works. They just used it as a medium for telling a great story, and I think that's pretty cool.

Imagine if this movie was live-action and completely unrelated to emoji or phones. You wouldn't even be able to tell the difference. This movie had no reason to be about emoji. Ignoring all of the meta jokes and the Textopolis setting, this is just another cheap love story with a weak moral. They only made this movie the way they did so it would "appeal to the teens." You know what I say? Stop trying to appeal to the teens. As a teen, I want to watch something grown-up and better than me so that I can think about it and learn. I don't want to watch something that has been dumbed down to my level. THERE IS NO POINT. If you try to tell me you found something deep or meaningful about this movie, do humanity a favor and shut up.

Full review: https://hoodheat.xyz/a.php?a=3

A unique and epic animated superhero movie. I've watched this about ten times now and I still find cool little details in the writing. It pokes fun at classic stereotypes, like caped heroes and villain monologuing. Watch this movie if you're tired of generic superhero movies and want something actually deep.

This movie is REALLY messy. The costume and world designs are unpleasant to watch, the dialogue feels uninspired, and the action scenes are mid. However, as a lot of people have already said, Rocket's backstory is well done and actually did make me feel sorry for him. I'm going to say it: the only genuinely good scenes in this movie are the ones of Rocket's past; the rest are lame. I feel like this movie was trying too hard to be quirky and different sometimes to the point where anything goes as long as it hasn't been done before. It's like they were only going for the shock factor with some of the scenes. Overall I didn't enjoy my time watching this but at least I learned how it feels to eat without watching YouTube.

A joy to watch. The jokes are a little cringey sometimes and the ending is pretty unrealistic, but that's okay. The characters have good arcs. Everything is upbeat and never boring. Watch this movie for a chill time and also for the funny.

A pretty chill movie with a decent plot. I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. The animation isn't perfect; it looks a lot like Shrek. The twists are not terrible, and there is surprisingly a good moral. Watching this after The Last Wish is kind of uncanny, but it doesn't hurt this one's reputation at all.

Bo is one of the funniest and most unique comedians I've ever seen. I've binged almost his entire channel recently and got to see this special that he made free-to-view on YouTube. Some of his sketches here aren't perfect (they are EXTREMELY hit or miss), but he never fails to keep the interest of his audience. The short one hour runtime contains so many songs that are impossible to get unstuck from your head once you hear them, including Sad, We Think We Know You, and Repeat Stuff. Sad is my favorite song by Bo and happens to also be the most family-friendly; definitely give it a listen. We Think We Know You features THE most creative song performance I have ever seen and makes for an absolutely spot-on finale. Bo does the Hitler salute during Repeat Stuff. A few of his jokes hold this back from being a 90 or higher, but don't get me wrong; the good jokes more than outnumber the bad. From God's Perspective is a song that I thought was kind of weird starting out, but then he suddenly brings out the line, "If you want love, then the love has got to come from you." Genius. This pattern of a goofy song turning deep is in a lot of Bo's songs, which is really cool.

This review is more about Burnham in general than specifically this special because I probably won't get a chance to watch any others by him any time soon so I wanted to write all of my assorted thoughts out here.

It's alright. The animation style stands out the most of anything in the movie, and even that gets a little tiring to watch at times. The story is mega generic. There were LOTS of pop culture references and teenager slang lines, but I will give this movie credit for not being the worst at that. The main characters are teenagers after all, and when they goof off they do actually kind of resemble bros in real life goofing off. Still, April saying "sus" six times in the span of one minute was pretty stupid.

Mid, mid, mid. Creativity and continuity are heavily lacking from this mindless heap. Turn this on and prepare to fall asleep.

This one has an okay hero concept and story, but the acting is SO bad. It looks like all of the actors just want to go home, which is fair because they had to say some really cringey stuff. The villain is just okay, the CGI below average, the character arcs nonexistent. Basically what you would expect in a modern superhero movie.

This is a perfect example of a film that works great for both kids and adults. The movie starts off confusing, but works its way into a masterpiece of storytelling. The lesson of growing up but never losing your childlike personality is really deep and well-done. Seriously watch this movie if you want something innocent and wholesome.

Ford v Ferrari was way better than I expected it to be. Bale's character is written and acted extraordinarily well. He is the kind of character you feel like cheering on as he pulls off his racing feats. The cinematography is insane, especially during the racing scenes. It blows Top Gun: Maverick's action scenes out of the water, honestly. This movie has a very long two hour, thirty minute runtime, and they probably could've cut out some unnecessary scenes to shorten it. Another minor peeve is how deep it tries to get sometimes. By the end of the final race, the movie tries to tie itself up at the end with inspirational lines, but it doesn't really make sense here. Fun movie; do recommend even if you're not big on cars or racing. I'm not and I still enjoyed it.

This movie is... not an abomination, surprisingly. It has good intention, but just flops at everything it tries to do. The story is incredibly stupid, and the CGI doesn't help. However, even though it sucked, I couldn't find myself mad at it or anything. It's just a bad movie, not a garbage heap like some tales about sharks that I know. Don't waste your time watching it if you are above the age of four.

This movie had pretty dumb dialogue. Red, Chuck, and Bomb weren't very cool protagonists, but Leonard is a good antagonist. Every scene with Mighty Eagle in it was cringe. The movie really only does get interesting when the Pigs show up. My favorite part was when Chuck told everybody to get busy.

This movie boasts one of the absolute stupidest stories to ever be made. It is one big nostalgia-bait with basically nothing new to bring to the table besides the Vicious Six. The ONLY cool character in the entire movie is Wild Knuckles, and he isn't even voice-acted that well. The sequence with the Kung-Fu training is just dumb and breaks the rules of the cinematic universe. The ending is lame and has nothing to do with anything previously set up in the plot. The Minions are unfunny as usual. This movie was not planned out. Don't waste your time watching this because no one sure wasted their time making it.

Interesting, but the story feels kind of incomplete. The three main characters are acted well, making them fun to watch. Actually, just every actor was fun to watch and did a good job. I don't really know what to say about the rest of the movie, though. It's a little bit forgettable.

I revisited this movie, and I must say that it is better than I remembered. I think my first score of 78 was set as low as it was mostly because of the annoying dog character and some of the cringey scenes, but I now notice that I was a bit too harsh on the movie as a whole. There are only a few cringey parts; not enough to lower the score that much. This movie really is a breath of fresh air in the modern age of movies mostly comprised of corporate garbage. The animation is some of the best I've ever seen. Death is truly the greatest animated villain ever. This also has a great moral of looking right in front of you to find that everything you want is what's already in front of you. Honestly a top G movie.

An above-average mystery movie, but not exactly incredible. Unlike what some others have said about the answer, I don't think it is very predictable. (I didn't see it coming, at least).

Very well-written and well-shot. The story felt basic; it never surprised me. The flying scenes were cool but dragged out too long with little variety. Penny is kind of annoying. My list of problems with this movie is pretty small, but my list of things I enthusiastically like is also pretty small. Watch it if you want.

It's just alright. The messages are really muddled and the songs aren't that inspired, but you might still get something out of it. The pacing is really random and sudden, so I couldn't understand what was going on or where the plot was going the entire time. What I did like was the mature ending that, for once, actually made sense.

Super funny. You can be a kid or an adult and this can still make you laugh.

The characters and animation are the best parts of this movie. The plot has a couple of issues and is often predictable, but the lesson that you can get out of it is good.

Clever storytelling and genuinely funny. The animation is great (as usual for Aardman), and the characters are super fun to watch. Even though the message of environmentalism here isn't necessarily great, the alternate theme of never giving up is portrayed well.

Came for the goofiness, stayed for the plot. It is bonkers weird, but that's what makes it so fun to watch. I also did not expect it to include a mature, well thought-out story. This movie is like the funny friend that also knows how to be wholesome sometimes.

Just as unfunny and bland as the first one. The only thing I liked better about this is that it went slightly more off of the games. It still had the same amount of nonsense added, though. Knuckles was alright.

This, like a lot of other old Pixar movies, is an absolute masterpiece of filmmaking. The plot isn't super complex, making it easy to understand. The concept of a rat controlling a human by tugging on their hair is such a unique idea that I am confused how someone even came up with it. I've watched this movie a few times, and each time I laugh at something new or appreciate another artistic decision I didn't catch before. I can't state enough how clean and interesting the plot and pacing is. Many movies I've watched recently have had either a really good opening with a disappointing main act, or a lame main act but a satisfying ending that makes you forget about the mistakes. Ratatouille was a breath of fresh air because it doesn't ever stop being good. Every scene feels earned. Also, each character in this movie is written amazingly. Linguini is goofy and hilarious to start out, but then turns into a sort of an unexpected antagonist against Remy. Chef Skinner is such an animated character (pun intended) and is fun to watch get mad at random things. Ego is literally me fr. It is cool to see what Remy is feeling through his imaginary friend, Gusteau. I don't know if I've ever seen that done before. I could talk more about this movie and what is good about it, but I will leave you to watch it for yourself so you can find everything else on your own. Literally a fine wine.

A never-ending pit of cringe and cliché. There was nothing unique in this movie besides some of Robotnik's acting, and that wasn't even very good. I laughed once (I counted). There were at least ten product placements (that I counted). It has nothing to do with the games. It's so irredeemable that I can't even pinpoint one error to fix.

It's like Napoleon Dynamite but less funny. It did hold my attention the whole way through and had a decent story, but I wouldn't really watch it more than once.

You look at the title, watch the movie, and get exactly what you came for. The movie doesn't do a very good job of getting people to actually feel the emotions it's going for and the quality could use some work here and there, but it is still a solid classic.

This has a surprisingly great story for a Marvel movie. All of the family lore isn't cheesy or anything, and it makes coherent sense in the story of the Guardians. The characters actually learn from their adventure and the movie even has a moral that you can learn from it. My main problems with it are how drawn out some of it is, and the occasional cringey joke.

There are a few good moments that were interesting, but the rest of this movie is pretty inconsistent and pointless. I like this take on the Joker, though. He is funnier than the others and has a more clear origin story and goal.

Great fun to watch. The characters are all really well animated, and the story is interesting (although nothing too out of the ordinary). I also now want a pet like Stitch.

Really stupid movie that is pretty funny for the first half, but then is just nothingness for the second. The message, if any, is a lame environmental one that isn't even presented well. Boog do got that rizz, though.

Goofy movie to watch and turn your brain off to. Mad respect to just how many memes were farmed from this one thing.

While this movie is very long and seems to drag at times, the ending that ties it all together makes watching it completely worth it. I was a little lost as to what was happening at some parts, but the idea and the quality of the result should be praised highly.

The Truman Show is a super fun movie with a great idea that I've never seen done this well before. I recommend this to all ages for both the fun and the plot.

Impressive and moving. This is the first time I've seen the live-action Joker and I was not disappointed by the performance. The action is enjoyable and fun, but the serious parts are very deep and make for an excellent plot.

Cheesy, but you can't not enjoy it.

Another great Pixar film that is deep for adults and fun for kids at the same time without compromising either aspects. As many have already said, the peak of the film is the first ten minutes. The amount of storytelling they were able to do with so little dialogue or effects is incredible. The rest of the movie after that isn't as perfect, but still holds up and presents a great story.

The ideas of the three carriers and Bucky returning as a villain are really cool, but the rest of the movie is a waste. It only starts getting interesting at almost an hour in. The action scenes are WAY too shaky and end up being lame, besides a few exceptions including the car chase with Nick. That was my probably my favorite part. It has its moments, but isn't that interesting overall.

Megamind takes an overused trope of a 'good bad guy' and somehow comes out with an really clever story. Unfortunately, it felt like the depth of the concept was watered down a little too much at times with some of the childish humor, but overall it is super enjoyable. I am writing this review after seeing this for somewhere around the tenth time. Still slaps. I highly recommend this movie if you want something fun and unique.

Bean perfectly encapsulates the comedic style of the episodes and does them justice. I laughed many times at just how stupidly clever each joke was. Another great example of dumb humor done right.

The series that this is based on is good, but this just throws it all out of the window for a stupid experience. All that I got out of watching this was an existential crisis.

A solid movie about a cool event in Christian history. I liked the theme of inviting all to be saved, and this did a pretty good job of conveying it. My main complaint is that the section with Greg and Cathe breaking up and reuniting again is stretched too far out and feels like a diversion from the point of the movie. However, the first two-thirds had some excellent acting and storytelling; a breath of fresh air for Christian movies.

One of the funniest movies I've watched in a long time. While it doesn't really meet the standards of a masterpiece, it is still memorable and a great laugh.

The Prince of Egypt is the greatest Christianity-based film I have ever seen, my surprise further heightened by the fact that it was made by non-Christians. It changes very minor details of the Biblical story, but not enough to mock or twist the meaning of it. It is a great interpretation that is also very fun to watch, with excellent animation and storytelling.

A beautiful and tragic ending to the prequel trilogy. Watching this when I was younger, I thought this film was good because how fun it was, but now with an understanding of the dialogue and the deeper themes, I have an even greater respect for it. Unlike the other two episodes, this one focuses much more on Anakin's downfall and the unfortunate punishment of those who are affected by it. All of the emotions conveyed in this film hit right. I felt sad when I saw Padme, Windu, and Obi-Wan all get slowly betrayed by the person they thought they could trust in life. The political commentary (hidden underneath funny green monkey and lightsabers) is expertly written. They mixed together fun for kids and story for adults very well. The action early on has much left to be desired, but the battles closer to the end are some of the greatest in the entire franchise. I declare this the best episode in the trilogy, and it's not even close.

Too fast-paced. I could barely ever tell what was going on. Wallace was rarely ever not acting dumb and being thrown aside. The only thing going for this movie was the ridiculousness of Piella's schemes; they were pretty funny to laugh at.

By far the most wild ride of a Wallace & Gromit film yet. The classic humor stays true here and hits just as hard. The Wallace-like rabbit was my favorite character. My main complaint is that a lot of the slower, serious bits present in the episodes are often sacrificed for mindless action and chase scenes to fill up screen time.

A good short film overall, but one of the more underwhelming W&G ones. If you want to watch funny ahh sheep and Gromit going to jail but don't care about a good plot, it's for you.

Another funny Wallace & Gromit short film. Sometimes, you don't need a whole lot to convey emotion. I felt sad for Gromit when he was rejected, and all that was shown was a couple seconds of him sitting in a doghouse. The story was also unexpected and good. My favorite parts were Gromit laying down the tracks at Mach 8 and the penguin whipping out a Glock.

This short film is a wonder of simplicity. It is refreshing to see how such a basic but funny storyline can work out to be enjoyable. We'll just ignore how Wallace is breathing on the moon without a helmet.

All of the titular Guardians in this movie work great with one another and are instantly lovable. Chris Pratt is at his best here as Quill, and honestly, I couldn't ask for a better performance. The relatively uninteresting fight against Ronan holds this back from being perfect, but the rest of the movie is a masterpiece with genuine effort and passion put into it.

The first twenty minutes of this movie were entertainment at its peak, but then it kind of slowly loses steam. It's very goofy and you shouldn't expect anything spectacular out of a freaking Madagascar title. That said, it is one of the better ones, and didn't make me cringe for 90% of it, so that's cool. The cheesy jokes in this movie hit way more often than they have the right to. Weirdly enough, Dave was the most generic villain ever but ended up being my favorite character because of how well he was animated and voice-acted for the role.

This marks the first rated-R movie that I have watched in full. Overall, it does a good job of getting its message of peace across, but some details felt unnecessary. The latter half of the movie is also very drawn out and can feel very repetitive with large gaps between plot points at times. However, before you say that I am just missing the point, I think the grueseomeness and intensity are justified here. You really get a feel for how easy it is to end a perfectly good life on the battlefield. Desmond shows us brilliantly that sometimes, not fighting can be more courageous than actually fighting. I liked this message, and you feel happy for this unique character when he is recognized by his peers as a hero.

The colors and art style of this movie are, as said by many others, simply incredible. It looks like reading a comic book come to life! All of the characters are lovable, and seeing their adventures is never boring.

If you think Shane was exaggerating when he said this movie deserved a rating of over 90%, I am here to confirm that it is not an exaggeration. This movie could not have done a better job of telling the story it did if it tried. The pacing isn't super slow or boring, but isn't so fast that you can't keep up with the important details. The acting, too! With such a minimalistic script, I'm amazed that they were able to do what they did. If you want to watch a great court case movie, watch this. Take my word that it isn't 'just another boring one'.

It's actually pretty incredible how this goofy little kids movie makes you feel for the characters in the way it is supposed to. Movies like this have a reputation for being super cringe, but this one is still enjoyable, even if you're not a 7-year-old that wants to see haha funny emotions running around and getting into trouble. Also, Anger made me genuinely laugh lots of times.

What better way even is there to end this epic story? Marvel managed to bring back the emotion and chilling climax from the first movie and somehow keep it fresh at the same time. It didn't feel like a sequel; it felt like an ending to a circle that had not yet been completed. Also, the way that the Avengers win after finally assembling is a great message. After all, they couldn't defeat Thanos when scattered and separated. Infinity War shows us and our heroes the ways that lead to defeat, and Endgame shows that there is always one way to emerge victorious.

This movie is the scum of the earth. Why anyone would create such an abhorrent dumpster fire of a movie is beyond me. This DVD would make a better plate to eat off of than a movie.

'Avengers: Infinity War' is expertly crafted, from the epic music to the terror of the genocidal Titan, Thanos. It shows all of Marvel's iconic franchises as a complex network of life uniting to stop the destroyer of it, all while giving a chance for each character to shine.

Clearly appealing to the younger audience, 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' finds its strength in its fun and playful tone, while lacking in a lot of aspects that make a movie feel whole.

The over-the-top acting in this movie makes it fun to watch, but unfortunately, the plot doesn't feel unique.

The Amazing Spider-Man takes an average superhero storyline and runs with it, creating an extraordinarily fun film that hits all of the right spots.

An incoherent mumble of nothing burgers.

This film greatly struggles with trying to get emotion to hit right, but the overall message of the story is very good: When we let anger into our life, it can spiral out of control, but a life of goodness and honor is what heroes are made of.

Watching Spider-Man feels like watching a high school video project. It is charming, and the story idea and twists are very creative. However, it lacks high-quality effects and general flow, making it a little jarring to watch.

This movie is just as charming as its predecessor, but with a major glow-up on the fights. I didn't even notice that I was tightening my grip on my chair during them; a sign of well-executed suspense. The story and flow could always use some work, though.

This movie, while a little drawn-out at times, is great. Little to nothing is lacking in the cinematography and writing. One of my few complaints is that the vigilante fight scenes are NOT good. They used way too many cuts, and Batman's catchphrases while fighting weren't very cool. Still, this movie holds up surprisingly well as the prequel to The Dark Knight.

The Batman keeps you wondering what the Riddler's next devious piece of his plan is going to be, and is never afraid to wildly twist the storyline. Very enjoyable movie, although a little slow for the average watcher.

Pretty bland movie and doesn't have any rewatching value. They should've scrapped all of the cringe meta references and worked on making the storyline stronger.
