The Little Mermaid (2023)
Am I the weird one for not liking this?
I mean it's an okay film. But is that what Disney wants to achieve now? Just to make okay movies? What happened to making great and lasting ones? Is that just a thing of the past?
My biggest qualm with this movie is that the acting performances from the cast was lackluster. These Disney classics are sacred in a sense that they made us emotionally invested in them. It's disappointing to think that animated characters were able to "act" and exhibit more emotional pull more than live actors. The original made us feel for these characters.
This version had no heart in it, it's just the shell of the 1989 classic with an attempt to impress contemporary audiences but it still fell flat on its face.
The scenes in this movie felt rushed and it was just hard to watch all together without thinking they just had a checklist of events they wanted to make sure was there. The dialogue was sub-par. The new rap song was simply unbearable. I had my hands over my ears while it was happening.
The only thing I could compliment about this movie are the visual effects. I liked the feel of the setting. But other than that. It felt more two dimensional than the cartoon.
Incredibles 2 (2018)
IT WAS SO GOOOOOOOOOD AND SO MUCH FUNNNN!
I made a review on how this would be so much better than Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom; and boy was I right! I loved the movie! It was obviously well crafted. I loved the fact that each of the main characters had their own great funny moments. Jack-Jack definitely stole the show. It's one of those movies I would love to watch again. Watch it! You'll love it. The animation looked so good. I've watched two sequels (Deadpool 2 and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom) prior to this film; both were disappointing and so to have a sequel that actually, to me, is better the first one, is really really refreshing. I couldn't stop smiling after the movie. It really was an Incredible film.
Now, I put in 9 because I don't think there's a perfect movie ever. But I definitely 30/10 recommend this movie.
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)
MEH.
It was okay. Very mildly entertaining. I gave 6 because I think that it had potential but it just missed it. It felt like an essay that was only trying to hit a minimum number of words. Honestly, it was just a rollercoaster ride that kinda made me want to throw up. The plot is all over the place, the characters don't really have any kind of development. The concept was very shallow. A little disappointing coming from absolutely enjoying the first Jurassic World. A little tip to help ease future disappointment; don't come to this movie expecting a logical storyline. There's gonna be too many plot holes that will make you ask, "How did that happen?" "Why are they so stupid?" "How can they possibly think that makes sense?"
Ye be warned. I have a feeling Incredibles 2 will be a lot better than this; so please spare yourself.
