The Shape of Water (2017)
Mesmerizing
Typical for a beautiful movie to be underrated by most people. The difference in meta and user score was to be expected.
In my experience, this movie was captivating from the first scene and ended on a high note, with a simple frame, music and quote. Del Toro takes you on a journey, that never goes full-blown fantasy. The minor details in both film and music are sublime. It really brings the story to life. In my opinion, this is one of those movies that don't need any questions. You have to experience is.
Perhaps it is a story that is only enjoyable for people that daydream. The ambiance and message are set up in a way, a hopeless romantic could feast on for days. Seeing as most Hollywood movies are complete rubbish, this one really shows what a movie is capable of. Bringing the love of a celebrated director on screen. Go see this movie!
Doragon Bôru Zetto Fukkatsu no 'Efu' (2015)
Overrated
After all this time, it was finally time to watch the new, long expected, DBZ movie. I had my hopes up, until a few Z characters started dropping like flies.
There's one point in the movie where Sorbet compares his strongest henchman with the likes of Zarbon and Dodoria. Then later on in the movie, Picollo gets in a fight against the devil-like guy, Sorbet was talking about. Then Piccolo needs the help of Gohan SSY 1 to win the battle. Against a guy as strong as Zarbon...
After that Gohan almost dies by one hit from Frieza in his first form (without powering up). It's things like this that really grind my gears. I don't even wanna start about the whole Frieza thing getting God-like powers(!!!) just in a span of 6 months. And of course the whole 'Goku saves the day' thing.
The animations are good, and some of the fight are entertaining, but this movie just feels too easy. It's a big letdown.
