Black Widow (2021)
Surprisingly bad
To keep it concise - superficial villains, underwhelming story, unusually noticable VFX hiccups.
Good acting by the main cast and partially impressive fight choreos cannot save this loveless spinoff. Particularly towards the end the movie disintegrates in scenes which actually made my friend and I facepalm.
Jim Knopf und die Wilde 13 (2020)
Awesome
Given that the characters abide by the book, and the book being written even before racial seggregation was ended in the United States (2 years prior), I think it would be very lowbrow to reduce this to the multiculturalism aspect (cough).
It's a cute modern fairy tale.
Aladdin (2019)
Finally a neutral review (not comparing to old movie! 1!1)
(Skip to second paragraph for rating)
Yeah... I didn't intend to write a full review, but the comments right here are just embarrassing. I personally never watched the Aladdin cartoon version (I guess it's not thaaat big of a thing where I live, compared to other Disney classics like snow white?).
So I just went to the cinema without real expectations, but I must admit: it was totally worth it. And here's why:
- The scenery. Just wow, mind blowing. So much detail, color and creativity, that it's almost overwhelming. Disney really hit the right spot between 'not so great looking' and 'completely drives your focus away from the actors'.
- Music is fantastic as well. I watched the synchronised German version, but the melodies and the way in which it is integrated into the story work out pretty well, in my opinion.
- Acting is good. The main actors do their job, and even though Will Smith obviously outshines them in his 'blue, flying' version at some points, Aladdin and the Princess show both character and expression more than well.
There's obviously way more to review but I think I underlined why the movie definetly isn't just "bAD cgI AnD caRtOon iS BetTEr".
