Film / Pacific Rim: Uprising
Enjoyable, but not a patch on the original.
Going in to Pacific Rim: Uprising, I knew in advance that it wasn't going to be as good as the original Pacific Rim. There was simply no way it possibly could be. And it wasn't. It wasn't even close. I consider the original film a 10/10, and I think this film is lucky to rate a 6/10 from me. Now keep in mind that 6/10 is still a fundamentally po...

A review of the SpongeBob movie
November 19, 2004 was, for me, a dark day for a cartoon that, for three solid-gold seasons, hit cartoon perfection over and over again. For 19/11/2014 was the day that The SpongeBob Square Pants Movie came out. To many fans, it was good enough. To others, including me, it was the first sign that the series was going to crash and shatter. At the tim...

It's like an hour and a half long headache
I've been putting off watching this film for a while now, but with so many memes, I feel like I sort of had to check it out at some point, especially considering people have practically been treating it like a religion for the past decade. And so I watched it...and it was painful. The story: a reverse Cindarella story? Wow, I've only seen that 50...

Far Less Than the Sum of its Parts
The Hitmans Bodyguard is an idiot plot through and through. Basically, an evil Belarusian Dictator has been taken to trial, and the only testimony that can put him away is that of a professional hitman (the movie hand-waves away the hundreds of other Belarusian witnesses attesting to his crimes, for reasons). Despite being a tinpot dictator, the D...

Kakeguri, in a nut shell, is the story of a schoolgirl, Yumeko, who arrives at a super expensive highschool that runs entirely on high stakes gambling. Nothing else matters in the scope of this show; we don't see the actual classes or the outside world, and everything is built around the extra-curricular card and dice games people play, to the po...

A wonderful story with no glaring problems
Ouf of the many stories I've read of this type (you know, post movie, new case along with WildeHopps) this is easily one of the best. Story and characters, setting and dialogue are all great with a lot of thought and effort put into them. Judy and Nick are great and their voices are spot on. The relationship between them builds slowly and subtly, ...

I have always been a fan of Disney films, growing up with such legends as The Lion King. Despite the resurgence of Disney beginning with Tangled, I haven't been so moved by a movie in such a long time. As said, words don't do it justice... but I will attempt to do so.

Good, but not great
I found this fanfic enjoyable, with just enough plot to make the lengthy read a worthy one. However the focus is on the romance, and while I enjoyed that part immensely, the way it outshone the actual plot created a sort of dissonance that makes it impossible to get invested into in comparison to a full romance. Obviously, the romance is the best p...

An odd little dark art piece.
9 is like nothing I've seen before, and that means many things. The best way to describe it is with comparisons, though they don't quite suffice. The animation? In six words, I wish it was stop-motion. It's really got that Laika/Burton feel, but it's CGI. Competent CGI, yes, but I'm so used to this kind of thing being amazing stop-motion that ...

My issues with Thanos Rising
Plenty of people praise the Thanos Rising story by Jason Aaron, thinking he did something profound with Thanos, when in reality, he badly streamlined both Thanos and the society of the Titanian Eternals as estabilished by Jim Starlin and really, it served more as a prologue to Hickman's Infinity event. 1) For starters Lady Death goes from a silent...

It has an important lesson to teach, and teaches it badly. (spoilers)
First off, while I didn't quite like this movie... i also think 95% of the "criticism" by hardcore fans is nothing but whining. There ARE problems with this film, but almost none of those problems "ruined my childhood" and whatnot. In fact, I consider half that stuff to be the good parts. So, on to the themes. This movie has a good theme it...

Bad as a movie and as a sequel
Let's get straight to the point: I think this movie is trash. Not even good, enjoyable trash: it's boring, plodding, shoddily-acted, clichéd trash. All the new characters barely have five personality traits between every single one of them: they're universally fairly bland, and only John Boyega manages to coast through the movie on sheer natura...

It's bolstered by a charming cast (special mention to John Boyega, Cailee Spaeny, and Burn Gorman, who carry this film on their backs) and dizzying fight choreo...
