One Piece (2023)
Wow..
Had very low expectations, after seeing how Cowboy Bebob turned out I thought this would be another wasted hype train but I'm truly impressed and humbled.
One piece takes place in such a unique universe with it's own set of rules, and to some extent laws of physics that I had feared they would have made the series more realistic and grounded in our reality because I struggled to see how it could work in live action, but I have no idea why but the cartoon-like physics, and even such a small detail like the snail based communication technology and the seagull newspaper delivery with their little hats just works somehow.
Sanji my favorite character growing up was absolutely amazing, very happy he's actually smoking instead of having a lollipop in his mouth, anything else would be betraying his character. He's still the definition of cool like I thought he was when I was 12.
Luffy was great, the perfect blend of naiveté and seriousness. Reminds me a lot of how I imagine Goku from dragon ball should be done in live action, a slightly naive guy with a heart of gold and overflowing with determination and confidence.
Usopp was amazing as well, although his constant lying hits different in live action somehow, maybe because he is missing his pinnochio nose? But still the casting couldn't have been better.
Nami was incredible as well, she's just as I imagined her as being. The actress did an amazing job.
Zorro was probably the hardest one for me to get used to though, not sure why but I think it might be his hair, I just don't believe Zorro is the kind of person who would dye his hair, and unlike other characters with unnatural colored hair(by our universe's standards) you could see his hair was dyed instead of being all the way through like Nami's sister or other characters.
While that being said I still felt the actor did an incredible job - really if all I have to criticize is his hair, he did amazingly.
But all in all this was a trip and strangely both a breath of fresh air and a nostalgic rendezvous, I'm happy to see my childhood be recreated in such a spectacular fashion.
Oh and the pacing was top notch too.
Thank you!

underrated
com'on guys? really i have seen some bad reviews of this movie and frankly i can't see whats wrong with it? the movie's fun really. it's not supposed to be serious it's just a light movie you can watch with your friends a Friday evening and have a laugh. i loved the guy who plays Charlie in lost in this one.. it's stupid yes i know but a lat of great movies are extremely stupid like the men who stare at goats for an example. so if you are expecting a plot like shawksank redemption or the bucket list you are gonna have a bad time but if you are expecting something like the men who stare at goats or team America you are in for the win ;)
