Wednesday (2022)
Riverdale and Harry Potter with Addams Family branding
There is clearly no understanding of the source material or what made the Addams Family such a beloved name. Everything at the core of the movies and shows is not in this series. There is no comedy or wittyness, it's all poorly written cringy, cliche, 'teen' dialogue. The weirdness of the family is completely muted because of the world being supernatural some reason. All the characters feel off. It doesn't feel cohesive.
It's basically taking the worst of Riverdale, mixing some Harry Potter, and naming characters after the Addams Family characters. There is no reason for this to be tied to the brand. There was little to no effort done to make this a "Addams Family" show. On top of this, It's there has already been a show based on Wednesday before. By a YouTuber. Who not only did a better job made but understood the material a lot better. It's embarrassing that having so many people and such a massive budget produces such poor results.
This would have been fine otherwise, but dragging a beloved IP into this lazy "re-imagining'", doesn't deserve anything past a single star. I'd give it half that if I could. I have nothing wrong with reboots as long as the spirit of the original is maintained. But this.... Do better.
Poet Anderson: The Dream Walker (2014)
Full of charm, and we want more!
Upon starting this film, you'll be greeted with an amazing style of art with smooth form of animation that will just blow you away. You can't help but pause, or re watch it just admire the care and work that went into it. I found myself even pausing at certain moments just to better appreciate the detail that went into it. The animation (though very beautiful) does at some points seem to have a few amateur moments, but only further adds to the charm of the whole thing. However, the movie falls short on delivering a full story, with a lore that isn't explained very well and expects you to try and make sense of it. Since this is a short film, you can't really expect it too either. It fells like this movie could have been something more, something greater. There's so much left to be desired and I do hope that this will one day turn into a full length feature.
