Doctor Who: Wild Blue Yonder (2023)
Season Unknown, Episode Unknown
8/10
I'm sleeping with the lights on tonight
2 December 2023
Wow! This episode is NOT for people who get easily creeped out. It's been a long time since I got scared from a Doctor Who episode and that time finally came. So, we of course we had some pandering to the left with a few lines here and there, but this time the episode was actually pretty good, making the pander-talk a minor annoyance. The feeling of emptiness and the mystery behind every single thing that was going on, made the episode a thrilling experience that we haven't seen in the show for a long time. The monsters in this episode are easily among my top scariest Doctor Who monsters. I hope that even if we can't avoid the political preaching, we will at least get good stories to balance it out. This second special was the proof that Russell T Davies still has ideas for the show and hasn't lost his touch. Great stuff, keep it up! I'm excited to see what's next!

Wish (II) (2023)
5/10
Ignore the high ratings
24 November 2023
Yet another disappointment. Not a bad movie, but surely not a good one either. Even kids at the cinema were bored and almost none laughed throughout the movie, except just a handful of times. The plot was literally what you see on the trailer, there is no twist, nothing exciting to keep you interested, it was as bare bones as it could get. Nothing stood out, from the characters to the songs, it was from those movies you forget you watched after a month! It had too many references to old Disney movies, which got tiring after a while and the plot was rushed. I have no words, Disney was known for having great stories for the entire family to gather and enjoy, but now it's just generic and boring. I think it's time for Bob Iger to retire.

Do writers even read the source material anymore?
2 August 2023
What was that? First of all, the animation was fine and some scenes were great but for the most part, it was a mindless movie with tons of failed joke attempts, forced message and the plot was very rushed. The turtles were, at the most part, acting the same and didn't have the distinct personalities from previous shows, April looked nothing like April (i literally thought she was a different character at first), Splinter was turned into a joke and classic villains were ruined and had no time to shine. I get it that writers try to make changes to stand out and make something more of their own, but the changes just didn't work for me. Sadly, it was yet another mindless wannabe-funny movie for mindless consumers.

Elemental (2023)

A bad Zootopia rip-off?
25 June 2023
Another pointless and unfocused movie like lightyear and strange world. The movie gets really boring very easily, we have like three plots that get resolved in the last ten minutes and there is nothing to keep a kid awake on the cinema... It's obviously an attempt for Disney to make a rom-com but for me it didn't work. It had every cliche on the book and the chemistry between the main characters was forced. It had potential, but in the end it was just a chain of random and boring events that lead to a forced conclusion we all saw coming since the start. Disney has just ran out of ideas, there was nothing special about this movie and I'm sure it won't do well because it's just not entertaining to watch... The "jokes" were bad, the romance was blunt and the side characters offered very little to the plot. Barely any obstacles to overcome and the messages the movie was focusing on needed more time and better focus. Really disappointed.

The Little Mermaid (I) (2023)
5/10
Another wasted opportunity
28 May 2023
The movie could have been a great remake. They did many things right but every time i was having fun, they ruined it with their laziness and lack of inspiration. Triton was barely acting, the songs did sound good but looked awful with no energy and no colourful sights that made the underwater world look like an eye candy in the animated movie... The CGI looked really bad a few times, the animal characters looked awful and the scuttlebutt song was horrible! Ursula was good, Eric had an interesting backstory and personality and his connection with Ariel was much more fleshed out than the animated movie... But then the third act slaps you in the face with nonsensical and unneeded changes... I expected it to be much worse, it's actually my second best rated Disney remake, but it still wasn't as good as it could be and in no way comes close to the original movie.

Disney lost their way
30 April 2023
Literally nothing in this movie comes close to the original movie! It was boring, there was no charm and nothing magical about it. The characters were blunt and had no charisma. Wendy was of course the perfect female protagonist, like everyone expected from a Disney remake. Peter Pan was not the focus of the movie, he was boring with no charm. Tinkerbell had 0 personality in the movie, they could take her out and nothing would be missed. The lost boys were nowhere to be seen, they just used them to push a message and then we forgot about them. There were cut scenes yet the movie was longer. The only redeeming point was the backstory of captain hook, it was the only interesting thing in the entire movie. Overall, a horrible and boring experience, unimaginative with no charisma and charm. Just watch the original movie with your kids, there is nothing good about this one.

Had a blast!
18 February 2022
What to criticize first? The amazing art style? The voice acting? The songs? The jokes? It was perfect in every way. There were some episodes specifically that made me laugh really hard! Had an amazing time and i really recommend everyone to watch it. It deserves the attention and praise. Can't wait for the next season! Keep up the good work, and put your heart into this, cause it pays off.
