review: Birds Of Prey

2/7/2020

After splitting with the Joker, Harley Quinn joins superheroes Black Canary, Huntress and Renee Montoya to save a young girl from an evil crime lord.

Best version of Harley Quinn ever. Margot Robbie really does kill it as this character. She is Harley. She plays this kind of crazy really well. Though if the Joker was the only thing keeping her alive why would she announce that they were done for good? She could have kept herself safe. Even if the bad guy had gotten the diamond how would he have even gotten the account numbers? They were so tiny and written in a diamond. I think this is the best movie DC has made besides the Dark Knight movies. I  wasn't a big fan of Huntress. I felt like she had no purpose. Black Canary wasn't my favorite either. She could fight but she only used her power once and the rest of the movie felt like she was just there like she had no purpose. The kid was strange. Who just looks at a diamond and eats it? They aren't edible and it's not like she knew what it was. I can't wait to see how they develop Harley Quinn in the next movies. Harley was never my favorite but this Harley Quinn is. I love her. This Harley Quinn is so much fun and no one can play her better than Margot.

Two young British soldiers during the First World War are given an impossible mission: deliver a message deep in enemy territory that will stop 1,600 men, and one of the soldiers' brothers, from walking straight into a deadly trap.

I don't normally like war movies but this was really good. They bravely traveled through enemy territory just to deliver a message though they maybe should of had more than two men. I am very confused on why they'd kill of the main guy who was to deliver the message. It was his brother after all. Also if they had more men with them maybe he wouldn't have died at all because there would have been someone to watch his back. How was the evil pilot even alive after that crash to begin with? He should have been dead. It even looked like Blake had pulled him from a burning plane and all he got in return was stabbed. That is definitely not the way to say thank you. I am impressed that he made it all the way to the destination. I thought the were both going to end up dead on the way there. Especially since he was on his own through the town full of German Soldiers trying to get where he needed to go. I do wish there was more of Collin Firth. I like him as an actor. He's one of my favorites.

Review: Jumanji: The Next Level

In Jumanji: The Next Level, the gang is back but the game has changed. As they return to rescue one of their own, the players will have to brave parts unknown from arid deserts to snowy mountains, to escape the world's most dangerous game.

This movie was funny and I think way better than the first one. The granddad and his friend really made it funny. I really like the Jumanji fruit scene when  Martha and Fridge switched bodies. I also really liked when Bethany got her character back because Jack Black pretending to be a girl was kind  of the best. I am confused where the horse came from because it was not a character to choose from in the first movie. I also find it hilarious that Fridge is afraid of cake. The end was kind of strange. Show the jewel to the sun. Really? I like the end of the first one better. Return it to it's rightful place. Sounds way better. Also the bad guys weakness was a piece of fruit? I do like the strength and weaknesses part. I like how they gave them extra abilities. Also the granddad giving the smolder face at the wrong time was hilarious. There should have been more Nick in it though. I felt like he was barely there. He was on screen and then he was gone while everyone else was on screen the entire movie or the entire time they were in the game. I want to see what they are doing for Level 3 if there is one and what new things they'll add to it. This is  definitely a movie to watch.

review:Frozen 2

Anna, Elsa, Kristoff, Olaf and Sven leave Arendelle to travel to an ancient, autumn-bound forest of an enchanted land. They set out to find the origin of Elsa's powers in order to save their kingdom.

Fifth Element+Disney=Frozen 2. If you've seen the movie then you will definitely see that this is just Fifth Element and Elsa is Leeloo. I still loved the movie and I love all the songs except Kristoff's Lost in the Woods. That was so bad and the whole scene was so weird. Olaf retelling the story of the first movie is hilarious. It was my favorite scene of the movie. I love that snowman. He's just so cute and I loved his song. I'm not really sure how I feel about the ending though.  This definitely had a much darker theme than the first movie. I loved it and would recommend seeing it a few times. Though I am curious  what they're planning to do if they decide to go with a Frozen 3. Will we finally get to see a wedding between Kristoff and Anna? Will Elsa meet someone?Will they move to a future of Arendelle and see their kids? I do gotta say that I prefer their hair in braids rather than down. I think their hair up looks way better. I get that they are all in fight for Arendelle mode but I did not like it down. Some of it did seem a little predictable. They kind of set it up before they reach the revealing point like when their dad said someone saved him when he was younger. It was kind of obvious who it was going to be.

review:Maleficent:Mistress of Evil

Maleficent and her goddaughter Aurora begin to question the complex family ties that bind them as they are pulled in different directions by impending nuptials, unexpected allies, and dark new forces at play.

I loved this movie and now I totally get why she was super evil. Someone making up a story that wasn't true and attacking them without reason. She didn't even do anything to Phillip's Kingdom. All he and his dad wanted was to bring peace between the Moors and the humans. Also how did Maleficent's spindle end up in Phillip's kingdom in the first place? That made no sense. I also thought Maleficent was the last of her kind. Where did these other Dark Fae's come from? I really do love the mother daughter bond between Aurora and Maleficent. The fact that she saved Aurora from the arrow knowing what it would do to her. It made me wanna cry because that was so sweet. Also Angelina really does make the perfect Maleficent. Also the chemistry between her and Elle really make the movie. It must be really fun playing a Disney character. I would definitely watch this multiple times. I kind of want to see what they can do with Hades from Hercules with a movie like this or maybe even Hook or Ursula. I think they would be just as cool and just as good as this one.

review: Lion King

After the murder of his father, a young lion prince flees his kingdom only to learn the true meaning of responsibility and bravery.

I normally love Disney movies but this was not my favorite. A lot of it didn't feel right to me. Timon wasn't as crazy as he's supposed to be and neither were the Hyenas. Pumba didn't feel like Pumba either. I really wasn't a fan of Beyonce as Nala. I think Rihanna would have been better or just get the original actors. I didn't think Scar looked like Scar either. He's supposed to be darker than Mufasa skin tone wise and his mane is supposed to be black. Also Zazu had very little blue on him to be a Hornbill. I felt "Be Prepared" wasn't where it should have been. It needs the green smoke and that devious look to it to show that it's a song of evil plans and such. I personally wouldn't waste money on this. If you plan on seeing it wait for streaming because I personally feel like it didn't reach it's potential. There is a lot that could have been done better though I did like the opening song. I still think Beauty and the Beast is their best live action musical so far and they still have a lot to live up to while making the others. Also what is the point of Mufasa being a king if he can't stop a stampede with a roar to save his kid. I'm sure there was a better way to do it that going into the ravine in the middle of a stampede. Also does no one question Scar going on a walk with the cub and not coming back with one or his brother? That seems very out of place. Especially for Sarabi who is the mother of Simba.

review: Aladdin

A kindhearted street urchin and a power-hungry Grand Vizier vie for a magic lamp that has the power to make their deepest wishes come true.

This movie was good but Beauty and the Beast was still made better. I love Will Smith as the Genie and Naomi Scott as Jasmine. Jafar ws also really good but I am confused where Dahlia came from and Hakim. I wasn't a big fan on some of the word changes in some of the songs but I like that Jasmine got one. I don't understand the Bollywood dancing but I liked it. It was a fun scene to watch. I think Aladdin could have been better and to be honest he didn't really look like Aladdin.  All around I think it's a good fun movie to see. Though I can't wait to see what they do with Lion King. Also this may be good but nothing will ever compre to the cartoon version with Robin Williams which is another thing I liked. Will Smith made his own Genie and didn't try to copy the original. It's annoying when people do that and then they ruin the character. I also like that they kept Genie blue. I think with Jafar as a Genie was ugly but also it was kind of strange seeing him without his signiture long beard. I loved Jasmine's dresses though. They were so pretty and very well made. I want them for myself. I especially liked the pink one and her original blue/green one. They were my favorite.

review: Detective Pikachu

In a world where people collect Pokémon to do battle, a boy comes across an intelligent talking Pikachu who seeks to be a detective.

This movie was really cute but also a bit cheesy. I like that it's Ryan Reynolds is playing Pikachu. All the pokemon were so cute. I loved the charmanders. They were so adorable. I didn't know Mewtwo could talk but I thought he was an evolution of Mew not a man made pokemon. I wish they would make another pokemon but with Ash and Team Rocket. I'd like to see them live actioned. The ending was a little too cheesy for me but over all the movie was good. I do think the villain could have had a better evil plan because that was the dumbest plan I've ever heard of. Also of all the pokemon why did Lucy pick a psyduck? The one pokemon that always has  a headache. I'd want to have a charmander,squirtle,pikachu or piplup. Maybe  a sandshrew. I would definatey like to see a movie with some gym battles and such but not one where people are cheating using "R". I'm not a big fan on the experimenting on pokemon thing. I thought that was very messed up.

Bring tissues. This movie is very emotional.

Review:Penguins

The story of Steve, an Adélie penguin, on a quest to find a life partner and start a family. When Steve meets with Wuzzo the emperor penguin they become friends. But nothing comes easy in the icy Antarctic.

I just love Disney's Earth Day movies. They are so cute and you get to learn so much about the animals. It also doesn't hurt that you get to see baby animals. Steve is a funny little penguin and the narrorator for him was perfect. My favorite was the baby emperor penguin having a slap fight with him. I wasn't a big fan of the lion seal eating the penguins. No kid wants to see that. It was a fun adventure for Steve though. I thought he was never going to find a penguin friend. I'm glad he did though. The other penguins weren't so friendly though. They were chasing him,biting him and stealing the rocks from his nest. They kept mentioning different seasons so it kept me wondering how long the film crew was actually down there freezing their butts off? I also wasn't a big fan of the baby penguin puking up it's food. That was nasty. The elephant seal part was kind of weird. Chasing Steve into the water.  It's a ggod movie too see if you love animals. They are just so cute and I enjoy these movies especially the Bears one.
