Who knew that this movie would now be one of the most important early films in the MCU? I’ve got to watch it again so I know who The Leader is by the time of Captain America: New World Order.
Thor has its moments, but overall, it’s pretty subpar.
Decent, but not great.
Peter Pan and Wendy has recently made its debut on Disney+, and yes, I loved it! I’m not sure how it compares to Disney’s 1953 Peter Pan because I’ve never seen it, but I can say that it was as magical as I’d hoped. And yes, Jude Law’s Captain Hook was perfect. So, I figured I’d share where I’d rank it among Disney’s live-action films. Enjoy!
11. Pinocchio
This movie excited me in the first half, but its final thirty minutes were so unbelievably dreadful that I knew instantly this was the worst of the Disney remakes.
Continue reading Where Does ‘Peter Pan and Wendy’ Rank Amongst the Disney Live-Action Remakes?There are a lot of things to be excited about when it comes to Andor‘s imminent second season. After watching a somewhat-blurry leaked trailer on Twitter from Star Wars Celebration I can’t stop thinking about what’s in store.
The footage that I saw maintained that cold, dark tone that made Andor so good while adding another element that I wasn’t expecting: a more passionate, romantic side that’s sure to heat up the Twitter trending tabs. Suffice it so say, I’m counting down the days to see the new season and in my anticipation I decided to jump ahead and watch Rogue One. That’s when I noticed something.
With only one season under my belt Cassian’s story in Rogue One already seems so much more heightened but there was one line that stopped in me in my tracks. It was this one: “Is he a Jedi?”
Continue reading Could Ahsoka Be in ‘Andor’ Season 2?When Star Wars Celebration arrives, it’s always exciting as a fan of this franchise, but if I’m being honest, I wasn’t very enthused about the special day. With The Mandalorian leaving me with a sour feeling in my stomach and Star Wars movies being canceled left and right, my enjoyment has definitely waned. And then, I woke up this morning.
There were a lot of exciting announcements, reveals, and details about the upcoming series, but the news that thrilled me the most was the return of none other than Daisy Ridley to this franchise. Do I have problems with the sequel trilogy? 100%. Do I think there were some poor choices made with Rey’s character (retconning her chance at being special without being connected to a legacy character?) Absolutely. Did my heart skip a beat when I learned she would be in a new movie set fifteen years after The Rise of Skywalker? Yes, it did!
Continue reading Star Wars Celebration Begins With a Major Announcement!I think I speak for many people when I say the thought of adapting Dungeons and Dragons into a movie was met with little enthusiasm. Game adaptations are known to be anything but exciting, rewarding, or just downright good. The Last of Us was a feat of brilliance, showing that maybe the game adaptation curse had finally been lifted. Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves echoes that sentiment.
Yesterday, I went with my sister to watch Honor Among Thieves in IMAX. We were excited after hearing the great reviews. As two young women who don’t really know anything about this game and its universe, we were just ready to see another fun movie set in a fantasy world. What I wasn’t expecting was to see a film that enthralled me as much as this movie.
I watch many movies in theaters, but I honestly haven’t been that blown away by a film and all of its fun moments in a while. There were so many times when I was either staring at the screen with awe or a huge smile on my face.
The characters, portrayed by a pitch-perfect cast, were outstanding. I found myself wanting to follow their adventures for a whole Star Wars-level saga; that’s how much I loved them.
The action scenes were fantastical and magical, which is something I haven’t really seen utilized in fantasy films, maybe ever. As someone who does play fantasy games like Diablo, I loved how brilliantly the directors made it feel like these characters were actually casting spells and playing like a real team you’d put together. It was fantastic!
But most importantly, it wasn’t just the action and the characters that made this film enjoyable, but it was also the story that was told so beautifully. From the first few seconds of the film, you are locked into a fantastical world filled with peril and strange creatures. And I’m not ashamed to admit that this movie made me cry real tears. I mean, I was on the verge of ugly crying. I definitely didn’t see that coming. Just goes to show how engaging the story was.
When the movie concluded I was beyond elated. Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is a real hit. I implore you to see it in theaters because it is genuinely made for the big screen with all of its brilliant spectacles. And yes, I think I’m a Dungeons and Dragons fan now.
I’m giving this movie 100 out of 100 and 5 out of 5 stars.
I thank you for reading, and I hope you have a tremendous day.
Okay, we’re halfway through the third season, and this is my first review so far. Why? Well, if I’m being honest, which I always am, this season just hasn’t impressed me that much so far.
We haven’t had a season of The Mandalorian since 2020, and for such a long wait, it’s far more lackluster than I expected. The first episode had me smiling, but ultimately when I returned from the episode, I was baffled by the breakneck pacing of the episode’s several plots. The second episode was much more enjoyable, but I still found it to often be repetitive and sometimes poorly written. Such as Bo-Katan reminiscing about Mandalore at times when it was clear that Mando was in trouble. I found myself literally urging her from my room to move faster to save Din Djarin.
