Finding Dory Spoiler-Free and Spoiler Review

Image
Welcome to my Spoiler-Free and Spoiler review for Finding Dory. If you have not seen Finding Dory, then I highly recommend you read my Spoiler-Free review and then see the film. When you do, come back and read the Spoiler portion of this post. Now there are some big surprises in the film so please, keep yourself away from any spoilers that could ruin your experience. Now let us begin. Non-Spoiler Portion Until I saw this film, I have not seen a Pixar sequel that is as good or better than the original since Toy Story 2. Cars 2 was a bit adrift in terms of its connection with the original, and Monsters University came close. But after having seen Finding Dory, Pixar has made a non-Toy Story sequel that is an equal to its predecessor. Not better, but an equal. We'll talk about why it isn't better in the Spoiler portion. But without spoilers here's what I can say. This is a fantastic Pixar film. It builds upon the original, with expanding the ocean and land. We get to see...

What Needs To Happen: The Incredibles 2

Before we start, three years from now this film will be released. With Finding Dory hitting theaters let us turn our attention to the Pixar film everyone wants sooner than later and that is The Incredibles 2. Yes The Incredibles 2 is the most demanded film from Pixar that fans actually want a sequel to. Lists of what they want to see in the upcoming sequel are spewing out left and right so I thought I'd join in and list the top five things that I'd want to see in the film. Yes welcome to a new series I didn't mention before where I give my top five ideas for a sequel and feel free to create your own list and share it in the comments. In order to make this list I re-watched The Incredibles, albeit in commentary which actually provided insight on the film, so I have a fresh memory of the film with some added info. Let's begin. 1. Stay Relevant Back in 2004, there was only one other major superhero film that came out and that was Spider-Man 2 so Incredibles didn't...

Alice Through The Looking Glass: Spoiler Free and Spoiler Review

So I will be giving this review the same treatment that I gave Captain America: Civil War and that I will give my non-spoiler thoughts and then delve deeper into the story. But I'm not sure that you should be worried about spoilers, because there aren't any really BIG surprises in the film. However, if you are so invested in keeping yourself safe from any reveals in the film then don't read the spoiler version, but I don't think that that's a big deal. So "YOU'VE BEEN WARNED." Non-Spoiler Review I don't know how to review this film. It's not horrible, but it's not spectacular either. I guess what I'm trying to say is that the film isn't one that's a must see. It's a great film, but it is not something that you need to see no matter what. All the characters have great parts, some more than others. There are some great messages at play in the film. The visuals are at some points great and some points funky. All the actor...

Captain America Civil War Spoiler-Free and Spoiler Review

I will make this both a Spoiler-free and Spoiler review so when you see the words SPOILER PORTION, turn it off and wait till you've seen it. I stress this because there are really good things in the film that won't elicit the same reaction if you know. It's your decision but that is what I recommend. Also, going in I was on Team Cap. Non-Spoiler Review Two thumbs up! 5 stars! Really...awesome...movie! I can't say enough good things about this film. It is really that good. The action sequences are the best action sequences in comic book film history. All the characters play their part in the story. The are some solid messages in it. This film is worth your time and money to see. People say that Marvel has a villain problem, but the villain in this film is better than all the previous films. The actors that were my favorite in this movie were Chris Evans, Paul Rudd, Tom Holland, Chadwick Boseman, and Robert Downey Jr. If I were to compare this sequel to another fa...
