Ballerina Review



So Ballerina is obviously a spinoff of the John Wick franchise and pretty much what Trigger Warning was trying to be but failed miserably. Starring Ana de Armas as the title character, the movie centers on a ballet dancer (and assassin) seeking vengeance for her father. She does eventually encounter the Baba Yaga himself.

I liked it. Like Mission Impossible, it did what it needed to do. It provided lots of action and thrills, and thankfully our protagonist wasn't an unlikable jerk. That was my biggest worry about the film, I assumed they would make her better than John Wick simply for being a girl. But the movie still managed to make a skilled female protagonist without disrespecting Wick himself. Eve is a BOSS female character done correctly without over-doing it, and I really appreciate that. 

The fight scenes were amazing. Some of them were EXTREMELY creative, which is something the John Wick franchise is known for. This thankfully did not hold back. This movie also somewhat highlighted fathers, which I also really appreciated (also considering it's almost Father's Day, perfect timing). 

My only flaw with the movie is that there was a certain character they could've expanded just a little bit more. But honestly, it could've been a whole lot worse. This movie isn't amazing, but I do approve. And more importantly my aunt approves. Thanks For Reading.

Introduction

Bio My name is Naomi Marie Elidios Chadwick. I was born in San Diego, California, but I currently live in Las Vegas, Nevada. I pretty much have a traditional family, which involves happily married parents, 1 younger sister, and an older brother. I was raised Christian, and I continue to practice Christianity to this day. This is not a spiritual blog but some of the content that I post is influenced by my faith. Every now and then I will post Christian content as well, just not always (except with Billboard ). The picture you see up above is me at the airport with my father after I graduated from AmeriCorps NCCC after 10 months of community service. In response I received a congressional award for community service. I've always been really proud of that. I was diagnosed with Asperger's (a form of Autism) around the age of 6, but I was not informed of my diagnosis until I was 12. I'm very into movies and television (animation especially), and pop culture as a whole, and I...

My Top 10 Best Movies Of 2024 (Part 2)

  So, now it’s time for the best list. This is obviously a list of what is in my opinion, the best movies of 2024. Before anything else, just a quick reminder that I have chosen not to review or rank the films  Mary  &  Dune: Part Two   due to my conflicting feelings on them. So you won’t see either of those 2 on this list. If you would like an explanation for 1 or both movies, there are 2 links down below. If there’s an acclaimed movie you were expecting to see on this list that you didn’t see, check out my “Movies You Won’t See” post through the link down below.  #10:  The Bikeriders God-honest truth, the main reason I saw this movie is because of my soft spot for Austin Butler. Though definitely not the strongest movie, this was really good. Its strong points were the performances and the twists. While Austin wasn’t THE standout, he did do a really good job and truly embraced his inner James Dean. The standout however was indeed Tom Ha...
