Lame 😒

 


Pretty much NOBODY had hope for this movie, let alone asked for another Smurfs movie. And to be completely honest, Rihanna voicing Smurfette made me take it even less seriously than I already did. Our titular characters have to stop Gargamel's brother from sucking all the "good" from the universe while James Cordon's character with no name is having issues finding his "thing".

The film wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but it was lame. The overall themes of this movie are super generic and it barely does anything with it. The live-action sequences had no reason to be there. If an animated movie is going to have live-action in it, they should at least do something with the live-action setting instead of just simply using it as a background, which is exactly what this movie did. If that was gonna be the case, then why didn't simply make the regular world animated? There was literally no reason for the live-action sequences. Not that I had a huge issue with this, but why did the writers feel the need to give Gargamel a brother? It really wasn't necessary. The dialogue was also quite cheesy.

This movie is also a musical, which is a HUGE indication that this film was overly reliant on Rihanna's star power. Pretty much all of the songs were pop songs, and kind of annoying. The songs of this film were just sad attempts to connect with a younger audience. Unlike Kpop Demon Hunters who's appeal through pop music is natural, this movie just tries too hard.

The best thing about the movie was the animation, it was actually pretty good. I just wish it wasn't wasted on such a lackluster movie. Thanks For Reading.

First Day Of 2024/2025 Awards Race

  It is about that time of year again where Hollywood gives out its most prestigious awards to most of the time the least deserving. But that doesn't mean I'm not gonna pay attention like always. But this year we will be shaking things up a little. Allow me to explain; Here's How This Works: Each year, I will have a target subject I'm rooting for this season. When the nominations for each award show are announced, I will do a small commentary on whether or not the subject has a chance of winning. However, this year instead of focusing on just the target, I will also be focusing on those I think are frontrunners in different categories for the season as a whole, whether I'm rooting for them or not.  I will most likely say a last minute thought the day before the award show. I will be tracking down all the way up to the big dogs: THE OSCARS. The Awards: We will be focusing on 5 awards; -The Golden Globes -The BAFTA's -The Critics Choice -The SAG Awards and Of Cour...

Red One & The Best Christmas Pageant Ever

I present to you, a Christmas Double Review. Red One centers on The Rock and Captain America trying to find J.K. Simmons (Santa) after he's been kidnapped. The Best Christmas Pageant Ever  is obviously based on the book of the same name and of course involves throwing a Christmas pageant with some of the worst kids in existence.  Red One This was a very strange movie. I don't hate it as much as others do, but I see why people hate it. I will admit there were some parts that were a little too ridiculous and I didn't laugh as much as I would've liked. Also, with all due respect to Kiernan Shipka, she was not a good casting for the main villain. Her performance just didn't work for me. She wasn't intimidating at all, and she still looks like a child. I'm sorry but I just could not take her seriously. But I also feel it had some heartwarming moments as well, particularly involving Chris Evans' character and his son. I wouldn't say this movie was good, bu...
