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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

After the devastating events of Avengers: Infinity War (2018), the universe is in ruins. With the help of remaining allies, the Avengers assemble once more in order to undo Thanos' actions and restore order to the universe.

Bring tissues. This movie is very emotional.

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.

We all have a superhero inside us, it just takes a bit of magic to bring it out. In Billy Batson's case, by shouting out one word - SHAZAM! - this streetwise fourteen-year-old foster kid can turn into the adult superhero Shazam.

This movie was actualy very good though the story of how he got his powers is very stupid. Though it would be cool to have superpowers I don't think you're supposed to show off your powers. That's the whole point of secret idenity. That's also what I was really annoyed about. He just walked around while his foster brother is saying his name,showing off his powers and saying stuff like "Oh hey I'm a superhero". It's very opposite of what a superhero does and pretty much ruins the whole secret idenity rule. Especially when he almost told his one foster sister and had already told the younger one. I didn't really like the bad guy that much. The seven deadly sins and a glowy eye orb thing. All he wanted ws the superhero power for himself. Which also feels like that's all the bad guys goals in like every superhero thing ever. A bad guy wants to do something so thier first move is to take their power fro the heroes. Are they that lazy to come up with a new plan to beat the hero? I mean they are supposed to be evil geniuses right? This movie was also funny and everytime Zachary Levi panicked it kind of reminded me of Chuck. This is a good movie to see but make sure you stay for the two credit scenes. If you don't then you're definitely missing out. This movie turned out better than I thought it was though the beginning was confusing me. It starts off thundering but it's snowing and they never explained why the dad and the brother hated the kid. It was them just hating on him but he didn't do anything. I wasn't a big fan of Billy's birth mom either. She was a big jerk.

Carol Danvers becomes one of the universe's most powerful heroes when Earth is caught in the middle of a galactic war between two alien races.

YASSSSSSSSSS!!!!! This movie was fantasic and is one of the best Marvel movies ever. She was awesome and fierce and can kick some serious butt. I also love Coulson and Nick Fury. I also really loved the cat,Goose even though he was a Flerken. I feel like this was how Hydra came up with their symbol. Scarlet Witch is my favorite female character but Marvel and Black Widow are not far behind. The amazing part was that they still had Stan Lee's Cameo and they opened it with Stan Lee. They could not have done it better. I think the other cool part is that you get to see the origin of the Tesseract and how Fury lost his eye but get's an awesome eyepatch. There is just so much excitement and awesomness in this movie you'll never be bored. You'll want to see this again when you're done. She's a very powerful female character and watching this movie makes me so excited to see to see her in Endgame. Thanos has no chance against the Avengers at this point. I also really like that they included the Airforce. I thought it was really cool and the rocket looking ship was pretty cool too. I am confused how no one figured out that the Dr. lady was a Kree. People around her had to have seen her bleed at some point. She lived on Earth for so long someone would have to notice her blood is blue. Brie Larson rocked at playing this character and if I could recast it I wouldn't change a thing. She killed it and I'm already wanting a second one.
