Most underrated movie of 2023
3 July 2023
I saw this today and it was pretty good. The characters were very fluid and Ruby's arc was very well written and how her interactions with the Gilman family really stood out as she is trying to find her inner self.

Big bonus points go to the animation for this movie and the usage of darker colors and tones to envoke a sense of darkness and whimsy is what made the movie pop. As far as the story goes, it's your average coming-of-age story but it was done in a way that was different and I enjoyed it. So, it was so underrated from the initial reviews and I think families would enjoy this film As I much as I did.

24 y/o male.

Eternals (2021)
9/10
What a wonderful movie of heroism and passion
13 November 2021
Chloe Zhao is very well known for her art house film "Nomadland" and I was star-struck when I heard she was directing a MCU film. When the initial reviews came out, a lot of people bounced this movie like frying eggs in a pan filled with mixed reviews and people walking out for being too boring.

Honestly, my initial thoughts for this film were not on par with critics. I was curious to see the anticipation for this movie based on the reviews for this movie. I was Blown away!

The reasons are for as follows: thought provoking messages, epic battles, characterization was very unique, and the representation of LGBTQ was amazing! My only criticism is that there was a lot of stuff happening and the story bounced from A to C without B. But, that's my only criticism. The post-credit scene was an amazing finish to an amazing movie!

Highly recommend this movie if your interested in the most thought provoking and emotional MCU movie so-far!

Addams did it again!
1 October 2021
From the moment Addams Family 2019 was released, this movie has been a cult classic in my eyes. However, this is a sequel that I thoroughly enjoyed and had a blast watching.

One of the biggest things that I adored was that they storyline was WAY more developed than it's predecessor and the character develop was average for a sequel that got mixed reviews. The animation was very crisp with a blend of 2-D and CGI really made this movie very fun to watch. Also, the main antagonist was a genius to watch develop during the second act . Also, fester turning into an octopus was a on-par subplot.

Overall, I enjoyed watching this sequel and I can consider this movie as a cult classic. Don't care about critics or negative reviews, just go into this movie with zero expectations and it is a fun and wild ride to enjoy!

Sonic outperforms
15 February 2020
Let me start off by saying... BEST MOVIE EVER! Everything about this movie was awesome and it had a lot of references to the old games. The script was solid, the characters were spectacular, and I think everything fit together nicely.

The only drawback for me coming from a guy who has played the sonic games for a long time, was the fact that it had too much Pop culture jokes in it. I mean for it being a sonic movie I was hoping for more sonic lore and less of this becoming a "Shrek Clone".

Other than that, this movie was impressive coming from Jeff Fowler's first theatrical film on the directors chair. It was great and I really think it's movie worth watching.

One word of advice, stay behind during the credits for a special surprise character.. you won't regret it 😉😉😉

BELIEVE IN STEVEN!
2 September 2019
This movie was just flat-out AMAZING! It followed along with the series finale very well and it brought us the most heartwarming story that Cartoon Network has made in a good while!!!

While i say that this really ends the Renaissance for Cartoon Network, Steven Universe: The Movie really was an Amazing story filled with Laughter, Drama, Heart and soul. It really made me feel like the show ended off with a great ending and it really is one of those movies that can be described as a fun time!

Hate to see this show go away. But the movie itself, AWESOME AND AMAZING!!! Cartoon Network needs more material like this instead of Teen Titans GO!

But take it from a guy who studies animation as an art form, Steven Universe's movie really has my sincere recommendation! I hope that we can all BELIEVE IN STEVEN.........

Long live the boss!
16 August 2019
This movie was an amazing movie based on a true story! Taking into account of the time period the movie was in, the movie didn't waste any time to tell an amazing story!

Every minute was used perfectly! All the songs used was perfect to the last detail and so many emotions were felt in this flick!

As of right now, best movie of 2019 so far!

Dumbo (2019)
10/10
Visual masterpiece! Second Favorite remake
16 July 2019
Dumbo is a movie characterized by many as one of the Disney's greatest short films. Given the original movie's runtime at 77 mins long it really made sense for the movie to become 104 mins.

Within the 104 mins for this remake, they used every second to make a wonderful and heartfelt story and really gave it purpose. The acting was pretty average for a Disney Remake. The extended plot was entertaining and very genius.

But, what really gave Dumbo my undivided attention was the Visuals and sounds that helped make dumbo create a "Steampunk" feel with it. This theme adjoining with the other elements really make this movie a wonderful movie for the eyes and for the mind..

Why is this film so underwhelmed?... I don't know, but one thing is for sure, this remake is going on my top 3 list next to Jungle Book and Christopher Robin...

Wonderful film! Just plain wonderful!

Wonder Park (2019)

Imagination is back! Better than ever!
29 March 2019
This movie was by far one of the best animated movies of the spring movie season. In reality, this was the splat's first ORIGINAL animated theatrical release since 2006 with Barnyard. By god, this movie was amazing and has a really cool story. Sad thing is... No one was laughing in the theater except me! The jokes were fresh, Characters were moving along the tracks, and the animation was just freaking beautiful! I would say that Nickelodeon has pulled a miracle out of its bag of tricks. This movie was so heartfelt, wonderful, and just overall a family-friendly movie that would really made families agree that this is probably the best work out of the splat's studio since Barnyard back in 2006

14 years in the making, it was worth every penny! I even stood and applauded as the credits roll cause it was just that good! Bring this to heart next time you criticize a movie like this... Its all about the imigination and the heart. And this movie does both!

Milo Murphy's Law (2016–2019)
10/10
An excellent sequel to P&F! Disney's only good cartoon
15 March 2019
After Phineas and Ferb got cancelled in 2015, Disney had the greatest idea ever of creating this show! In a short summary, the show basically is a photocopy of P&F and it has the same crew behind P&F! It really makes me smile that Disney Channel made this show in its own element with the advice of the original P&F crew!

I would love to see this cartoon continue for a while! But, I would love for Disney to create more cartoons that are original and not just a syndicated IP like Big Hero 6 or Avengers.

Highly recommend it for all you P&F fans out there!!!!!

Everything is awesome!!! LEGO shines in the sistar system Get it?
15 February 2019
By the look of this second movie, it really hit theaters with an underwhelming box office. But, the movie itself was so good!!!! Just the different ideas that the creators have created were just astonishing, creative, and just made for a good time at the movies.

This sequel exceeded expectations from the first original movie and really put on a show that should families of all sizes. The casting really was awesome from the start to finish. So may pop-cult references that i counted over 15 of them in one short clip.

The biggest surprise was an extended scene with the live-action family near the conclusion. I really was in awe when they had the characters interacting with Emmet and his Friends.

One thing to take to heart from this movie, We all grow up some time. But enjoy your child hood. That's coming from a 20 year old! So grab your family and enjoy this sequel! Worth the money and time! Have fun and keep building my friends!

Pretty colorful!
29 January 2019
In the dawn of Nick's animation renaissance, They created Felicity the cat with extraordinary powers. I figured this would be a clone of Unikitty which isn't having any luck on Cartoon Network.

But I think this show has some potential vs. Spongebob. If there was only one cartoon to choose from, it would be Rainbow, Butterfly, Unicorn, kitty.

This show has some of the best animation nick has done since Invader Zim in 2001. I hope they continue with this show and hopefully kill off spongebob for good!

Ralph's going to the internet and its an epic adventure!
1 December 2018
This movie was a superb sequel which succeeded the first one with awesomeness and just overall storytelling. If i'm going to be honest, this basically an awesome adventure for the whole family to enjoy regardless of what other people think.

The jokes are up to the point, Ralph & Venolpe came back and better than ever, and some heartfelt moments were even felt at certain points during the movie.

I had a blast with this movie, so much fun to watch & enjoy. The adults may get a kick out of it and the kids will eat this movie up. It's just that pure and innocent. Wreck it Ralph really shows off the pop-culture of today's generation and really does with comedy and story.

Go on this adventure with Ralph and Venlope. It's a great adventure for sure! its well worth it!

Hint: Stay till after the main post credits for a special bonus scene!

Queen is rocking the big screen....
21 November 2018
As a musical historian, you have to take into account the tragic stories of the rich and famous. Queen's story was no exception, this movie really captures the tragic flaws that Queen had to go through to get into the shining glory where they stand in today's world.

From a critic standpoint, this movie outdid expectations in terms of acting, presentation, poise, and really the keen ideas of queens rise to stardom are really unity and selfless devotion.

This movie really created this sense of historical accuracy between the famous and the common townspeople. This movie did a lot to help people understand what Freddie Mercury went through and how Queen climbed the ladder.

Take it from the historian, go see this movie and take in some culture.

The Ren & Stimpy Show (1991–1996)
10/10
Nick at its finest!
24 October 2018
I loved this cartoon when I was six years old and I never missed an episode of the show on tv! This was nicks prime show and here are the reasons why: 1) Classic Animation 2) Catchy Music that stuck 3) Every episode had HILARIOUS GUT-BUSTING content

Unfortunately, Cartoons are not made like this anymore!! This cartoon will always remain in my hearts as one of the greats!!!

RIP Nickelodeon's nicktoon era 1993-2005...... wee going to miss this era :(

BoJack Horseman (2014–2020)
10/10
Very Funny and addicting to watch!!!
24 October 2018
I found this show one day while searching through Netflix. It's one of my favorite shows that I have watched since Family Guy!

This show in its entirety is great to watch! Each episode is Humorous, dramatic, and you will always get hooked into the next episode.

The greatest thing about this show is it aims at Celebrities and current politics. More of a less, this is mock off South Park and this show is awesome to watch!!!!

I love all the characters and how they live together. It really makes me want to watch seasons 1-5 all over again!!!! Can't wait for season 6 if they do one.....

Eighth Grade (2018)
10/10
Good movie to follow!
10 October 2018
This movie I watched just recently in my mind, It really opened the world of the teenage psyche as an understanding of the the way that Adolescence is portrayed today.

The movie's connection with social media really made sense with the day by day journal that Kayla makes to show herself to the world and she tries not to be very quiet.

In the modern age, this movie really taps into how teenagers think, socialize, and connect with other people. It also shows the dangers behind how teenagers are mostly affected by these agents of socialization.

Being an upcoming high-school/ middle school teacher, this movie was very powerful and how it express positivity in the real world today! Great movie and I hope to own this movie REALLY SOON!!!!!!!!!

Venom (2018)

Prince of the night reigns! But not child friendly!
8 October 2018
Columbia's use of marvel studios really took me by surprise when this movie came in with unexpected anticipation. The movies overall theming was too good and really epic for the young adults in the audience!

I knocked off a star b/c of the use of foul Language spread throughout the movie. If you ask me, This is not really considered a child friendly movie! But other than that, the effects were amazing especially in 3D!!!!

Heed my advise, if you have the extra money in the piggy bank lying around, go see this movie in 3-D or IMAX 3-D it's well worth it!

The cast of the movie was just phenomenal and Venoms backstory really came to life and I couldn't asked for anything better.

If you have little kids and they want a superhero, I suggest wait for Spider-man into the spider verse to come out before bringing the little ones! This movie is aimed toward the young adults and older adults!

But overall, Great movie and well worth the wait!!!!

Stunning rom-com! Quaint yet lovely!
23 September 2018
This flick by John Chu was something that i never knew came out of Hollywood. It wasn't the sex-ridden films that Tinseltown makes today, Its more clean than dirty. Although, some words are sputtered in some spots that really didn't belong, This movie was a rom-com that was great and very funny!

One con of it though is the length. You didn't really need 117 mins to tell a story that could be told in under 95-100 mins. But it in the end, it was worth it!

I mean out of the rom-com's i have seen over the past seven years, this one is my second favorite behind Vince Vaughn's Delivery Man. Excellent to watch, rent, or own! Lets just sure hope Chu can make the sequel live up to this movie's magic, charm, and sheer storytelling to an extent of wonder and charm.

Muppets in an adult movie? Yes, its the thing and i loved it!
1 September 2018
Surprisingly, this movie came out of nowhere and really blew my mind! The way this movie told it's story as something that i didn't expect coming out of Henson and his team of Puppeteers.

Let me put it this way, Henson really let his colors shine in this adult flick. It made me laugh every minute, the jokes were on par with the story, and the load after load of silly-string made me want to go on the floor and kick like a baby from laughing so much!

I couldn't have asked for a better time at the movies than the twisted plot of this movie and Melissa McCarthy made her role in this movie worth it to watch! This movie embraced the true colors of puppets gone bad!

The only reason i knocked one star was the story dragged by a short-shot in the second half. But overall, a fun movie for adults. NO KIDS ALLOWED IN THIS MOVIE! Let that flow through your heads and go in and enjoy this movie! Don't think like a critic, GO HAVE FUN WITH THIS MOVIE! trust me, you wont regret it!

Christopher's imagination was lost now it's found! Tremendous!
14 August 2018
This live-action adaptation of the Winnie the Pooh movies was something I didn't see coming. It was a great and loveable story that involved "growing up can be a good thing".

I recently watched "Goodbye Christopher Robin" and now I know more of how this story really dug into this one. It really connected with the real Christopher Robin's life-story.

Poor and the gang brought a spectacular and emotional story to the big screen. The adults would love it; But, on the other side, the kids would really find the movie slow at first and kinda frightening.

But after getting through the rough first half, it opens the door for a loveable adventure as pooh says "it's always a sunny day, when Christopher Robin comes to play!"

Surprise adventure! Teen Titans GO can make a movie!
4 August 2018
At first glance, This movie looked a little grim from the teaser. But as i saw the whole movie, It made more sense too me and my friends.

Surprisingly, this movie was really hilarious and very-well structured. This movie actually had a plot!!!!!! Well, a good plot that actually made sense. Also, Every thirty seconds there would either be a superhero joke or a song. In my opinion, this movie was more of a mini-musical.

However, One of the biggest surprises is during the end credits that has to do with the original Teen Titans!!! So being a 90's kid, That really made me excited and hyped out to see what happens next!

But if you're a fan of TTG and looking for a movie to watch while Winnie the Pooh and Dracula are entertaining audiences, then definitely watch this movie! Even if you're not a fan of TTG, This movie will open your eyes to what the newest generation of kids have created!!!!

Drac Pack at sea... Pretty good but something more than a trip
27 July 2018
Hotel Transylavania has been one of my favorite franchises to come out of Hollywood since Toy Story. The way this third one is done can really be summarized in two words.. LOVE BOAT

Let me put it this way, This more of a love story than the kids can dissect from this movie. Sure its wacky and just plain fun, but really, its more of less a movie that could be described as the "Toy Story 3" of 2018.

By that i mean, its got a good story line and the characters really show their colors in this movie. But, it kinda drags a bit with this one and the jokes were kinda uncanny.

But, its still a watch for the family to see. Let me just point out something, watch the first two before this one!!!! 9/10

Ant Man and the wasp is the power duo of 2018!!
16 July 2018
I saw this movie with one goal in mind, to enjoy a sequel with all the action, humor, and storyline you can eat! This movie served it up just right with enough action and storyline to strike your fancy!!!

I take away one star b/c of some plot-holes that lead to Infinity war part II and maybe the entrance of Cap Marvel? Idk if that's a theory or not ??????

But overall, much cleaner than Infinity war to an extent... What a backstory for the shrinking super hero while everyone is fighting " the dark one" aka thanos!!!!!!!

Bunsen Is a Beast (2017–2018)
10/10
Stamp of approval! Renew it for the good of the many!!
7 July 2018
This butch Hartman revival show tells the story of Mikey and Bunsen the magical beast in the town of Muckledunk. With the town goofball Amanda on the hunt for beasts, Mikey tries to help Bunsen not get caught by Amanda to be exposed!

Awesome spinoff... great plots, characters, and just overall timing really made me go fanboy over this show!! This reminded me of the Fairly Oddparents by a meer 200%.

It shouldn't have been cancelled, Nickelodeon if you're reading this, bring back Bunsen is a Beast! It helps us 90's kids from crying over the shows you took down that we loved!

Stop with Spongebob! Bring back Bunsen!!!!!
