Six years after the first movie, the sequel of Wreck-It-Ralph is breaking in. Is it coindence that Disney released this movie the same year as Sony's Hotel Transylvania franchise? Guess not. I see what you did there, Disney. This sequel takes place six yeas after the first movie. It is the same amount of time that's passed in real time life. We can see that from the sign outside the arcade.

Assumed by the trailer back then, this movie seems like a cooler version of Emoji Movie which was failed badly in rating and revenue. The fact is, Wreck-It-Ralph 2 is suprisingly better than the Emoji Movie. Either from its plot or easter eggs. We will see about the revenue later. But, considering it is a Disney movie, well you guess it.

Before talking about the plot, let's check the newcomer casts. Gal Gadot is perfect as Shank. The character is based on her character in Fast Furious franchise, after all. They said that the movie is Gal Gadot's first animated film. And one thing I didn't expected that SHE CAN SING. Next, Taraji as Yesss also great. The character resembes her much. And Alfred Monila as Double Dan. You recognized him as Doc Ock in the original Spiderman. Moreover, there's also Vin Diesel and the original VA of Disney princesses, except for Aurora. Nostalgia at its best!

The movie has a complete plot structure. Six stages with five turning points. In general term, its plot is easy to understand. Duh, it is a PG-13 movie. The climax is executed beautifully yet predicted. No wonder if there's someone out there would choose Vanellope as their favorite Disney princesses after this movie.

As expected, the movie is full of pop culture stuffs. You can measure your pop culture knowledge by searching the easter eggs. A113, princesses' casual clothes, Zootopia, Twisted Metal, and so many to mention. There are two EGs that become my favorite. The imperial march song and the usage of Internet/Wifi word. Even they said that this movie is the first movie that uses 'Internet' in its title, it still can't use 'Internet' and 'Wifi' word inside the movie. Maybe because of intellectual property thing. Instead, they changed those words into Interneat and W1F1.

In a whole, Wreck-It-Ralph 2 is a movie that challenge "problematic" Disney princess stereotypes. Even the movie looks like an advert for Disney's brands like Ohmydisney and others, Ralph 2 is changing our perception about Disney princesses. Also, congratulations for Vanellope von Schweetz become the first Jewish Disney princess.

Ciao.

The only reason why I want to watch this movie is because of its PH, Blumhouse Production. The PH has great record in making horror movies such as Paranormal Activity, The Purge, and the masterpiece, Get Out *claps*.

The movie's premise is quite simple. A simple game goes wrong. Even though it is similar to Stay Alive's premise, it turns out that the plot is great. But, there's one fatal problem. The plot delivery is pretty awful.

When I know that the movie is R rated, I was expected the gore will be similar to Final Destination or (maybe) Saw. Unfortunately, it isn't. It is R rated because of its sexual scenes. I mean, come on. I understand that the movie has teenagers theme but you don't have to include the romantic things into the plot. It's freaking cringy. Especially when you watch it alone *insert sad emoji*

There are so many scene that almost made me burst out laughing. The special effect and the death,. The effect is like a Snapchat filter and it's cringy af. The death isn't memorable. I didn't even turn my face from the screen because the death is lame. Absolutely lame.

TL:DR, if you want a romantic/horror/thriller movie or want to kill your time, this movie is for you. But, if you want the suspension of thriller/horror movie, it isn't for you. 4 of 10.

The only reason I watched this movie is I want to know how someone can put a solid plot for a movie based on a game that has basic premise about destroying cities and stuffs.

As much as I grateful to see Ralph who is my favorite monster in the game, I can't denied that this movie is disappointing. The plot is basically a "template" plot for monster movies. Experiment goes wrong and destruction everywhere.

There's another issues in the movie. The character. Why did they introduce a character if he/she didn't crucial to the plot? There is a scene that introduce a character and I was like "wow, a promising character" but then I was like "okay". The funny thing, there's a character who didn't even get a proper introduction. Also, the background story of the characters is messy.

I did enjoy the movie only for the destruction scenes or may be I did enjoy that because they remind me the game I have played when I was kid. The rest is not so good. No further explanation about that.

Judging from the casts, this movie looks like a low budget movie with additional CGI stuff. Sometimes, a low budget movie has a great plot or even a twist. However, A Quiet Place isn't that kind of movie.

The plot is really simple. Because of its simplicity, the movie didn't have time for story telling. Imagine like this. You're having a supper in a fancy restaurant and the waiter directly gives you the main course without an appetizer. After you're done with your main course and ready for desert, the waiter appeared to tell you to pay the bill and leave the restaurant. Yup, that's the plot.

Despite of the plot, the tension of the movie is well executed. It feels like you can understand what the protagonists feel in certain situation, especially in the climax. I wouldn't recommend a woman who easily get traumatized or whose PPD to watch this movie. The psychology element of being a woman is emphasized in the movie.

A Quiet Place isn't a spoon-feeding movie. It needs certain aspect to understand the core. Well, it also because it's a slow-paced movie. Nevertheless, Emily Blunt and her husband (who also the director) showed us great chemistry without saying a lot of words. Also, the movie serves you a new sensation of watching movie in theater. It is really quiet in the theater.

What we have here is a dystopian future + advanced game technology movie which is adapted from the novel with the same name.

The plot is definitely simple. Try to win a game by find easter eggs in every quest. The characters might not developed much, but the avatars (characters in VR) was developed enough. And yes, Art3mis is bae <3

As a person who lives by playing game since kid, Ready Player One gives me nerdgasm. A lot of easter eggs can be found. Many game characters, many movie references, and many pop culture references. I was freaking out in the theater when those eggs showed up. The last battle was definitely the best, especially when the freaking Gundam appeared! (It's not a spoiler since it showed up in the trailer).

It is a easy-pill-to-swallow movie and gives pleasure to your eyes. My personal advice is watch it in IMAX. 9.5 of 10.

P.S : No need to wait post end credit. There is still no the sequel of the novel so don't bother to hope there's a sequel for this movie. Ciao!

Black Panther is back after Civil War! Before, I was assured myself that this movie would be the best superhero movie in 2018 if Infinity War wouldn't released in the same year. Now, the outcome is great.

Firstly, I do like the opening scene. It can be said that it's different from other MCU's films. New formula for the next phase, I think. Secondly, please someone give the person whose responsible for the choreography in this movie a lot of cookie. Black Panther isn't a martial art themed superhero but it nailed it. So much better than the choreography in the series of protector of K'un-Lun. Third, the humor. Back in the Ragnarok last year, Marvel served us an action-humor movie. Thus, my expectation is Black Panther will be not so different from Ragnarok. I can't said that this movie will not have any humour. It has precise portion of humour and I totally laughing out loud from its jokes. Last, the cast. Hands down for all the cast. Totally great job, especially you Andy Serkins.

Closing statement. Black Panther is a beautiful superhero movie. The plot, the bgm, and of course the scenery. 9 of 10.

P.S : There are two post-end credit scenes. Just wait. It's worth your time in the second scenes. Ciao.

To be honest, I only watch the trailer once because I'm afraid to put so much expectation and it fails me like TFA. But hey, it's beyond EPIC!

The movie has an emotional and breathtaking plot. It's like I'm riding a roller coaster and the suspense is so damn real. It's unfortunate that I can't explain the plot details because of its epicness and of course, it will ruin your movie experience.

The stars? Oh my God. The charisma between Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher is gold. They succeed to hypnotize me for bringing the good old memories. Don't forget to mention Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, The Collector of MCU, and the woman in Jurassic Park. But, among them, Adam Driver has a great character development as Kylo. Totally better than the previous one.

The lightsaber choreography, the fighter battle, and CAPTAIN PHASMA totally freaked me out in the movie. Oh God, the movie is good in so many levels. The movie is near perfect. Is it right if I say this movie can replace ESB as the best sequel in SW franchise? Maybe yes. 10/10

Here it is, our second adaptation of Murder in the Orient Express. I'm totally excited when the first time saw the trailer. It makes me wonder how the movie will be different from the original source.

The result? I'm satisfied. A lot of big stars which make people misguided the murderer ( If you haven't read the novel, be my guest to guess the murderer during the movie). Another thing that makes me satisfied is its plot. The exposition is not cheesy, the complication is well delivered, the climax is added for additional suspense (perhaps) , and the resolution is gold!

I'm out of my words to write about the movie. As one of my acquaintance said, it's like playing a werewolf game. It's a recommended movie to people who like to challenge their deduction skills or maybe to people who trust their hunch.

Even though I did find several flaws in the movie, I think it's because I have read the novel. It's hard to not judge a movie based on novel without comparing with the novel itself (maybe Harry Potter fans would know it lol). I truly hope there is a continuation of the movie or maybe we can have Miss Marple instead of Poirot!

I will have my closing words like as shown in the trailer. "Everyone is a suspect". Enjoy the movie for what it is. Do not compare it with the novel or the classic one. 9 of 10.

I am not a fans of Disney princesses or Disney characters. But i think every child in the world know Cinderella. Being tormented by her step- mother and her shoes is a trademark for Cinderella.

Honestly, this movie brings back my memories about Cinderella. Honestly, in my country, i didn't ever saw original movie of Cinderella. I only know her by a fairytale in my elementary school book.

Even though i'm not an expert at cinematographic, the background, music, CGI, and cast are perfect to me. For an usual fans like me, this movie is worth to watch if you want to see your nostalgic moment become more modern.
