Peppa Pig (2004)
Peppa pig rules!
My kids (5,3 and 1) all love Peppa pig. It is funny, light hearted and captures the innocence of childhood perfectly. I love the fact that there only seems to be Peppa's family and a few friends in the whole world. There are no fences to gardens and the whole world revolves around the family. This is exactly how childhood feels within a stable loving family.
Everything is simple and straightforward with plenty of funny moments added in for good measure. Daddy Pig is a lovely caricature of dads everywhere (including me!) and makes me smile.
Wonderful stuff!
The Matrix Revolutions (2003)
Disappointing final part
The first Matrix film, in my opinion had so much. A good plot, a dark quality to the scenes inside the matrix etc... but most of all it was a thought provoking intelligent piece of cinema.
Since then the Wachowski brothers have decided to turn the subsequent Matrix films into special effects laden cheesy blockbusters. The plot in Revolutions is vague at best. None of the questions and ideas that the first film raises are addressed.
--SPOILERS--
It just makes me laugh that Neo just asks the machines for "Peace" and they agree that as long as Neo defeats Smith that will be so. What about the Matrix? Wasn't that what the struggle was against, are they just gonna unplug everyone now? I thought the human mind couldn't take being woken up past a certain age. Surely peace can't happen if the reasons for the war aren't resolved! The whole thing makes no sense.... but it does give an excuse for a big FX Playstation-looking fight scene between Neo and Smith which seems to have been the priority whilst making this film.
I could go on about the lack of depth to any of the characters in the film. Morpheus is no longer a character but just a cardboard cut out that utters a few cliches here and there. There is some annoying kid that screams "The war is over" in the most cringe inducing scene I have ever scene in a film. I could go on for days about these things so I'll shut up I think you get the gist of my rant!
Very disappointed, could have been so good..... 3/10
