Being a Colombian I can tell you that it was set in a perfect way.
The colors, the cultural diversity, the music that represents us, the typical foods, the personalities, everything. You could even say that the background on the violence is very well done. In Colombia we have a big problem that is forced internal displacement, so much so that we are the number one country in this. The fact that they gave a few little moments about this conflict ... brought me to tears, but I really appreciate it.
It is the perfect tribute to my beautiful land. I loved it.
In addition, I feel that it is very easy to connect with the characters and give each one a little development, considering that there are so many.
I have a little criticism for the movie though. I feel like a little more explanation was needed as to why Mirabel could not receive the miracle when she was a child and the specific reason why Casita was cracking. Maybe they could make it a bit longer to explain this, but overall I liked it.
Pd: Lin Manuel Miranda never disappoints, I'm his fan 4eveeeeer
my anxiety was THROUGH THE FUCKING ROOF
One of the best movies that Disney has made. The visuals and animation is incomparable to any studio (except Disney itself with Pixar) and the story is so well balanced, with (meta-)comedy and drama/suspense mixed so well together. The voice actors really makes you believe in a world where animals can be anthropomorphic and live in a society. A must-watch for children but also anyone who appreciate the beauty of animated storytelling.
This is the best episode of the season so far, maybe the best episode of the show. Akechta's story is heartbreaking. When he was walking around looking for Kohana and found her and then realized he could do nothing about it really got to me. That piano cover of Heart-Shaped Box was fantastic too.

It went amazingly fast. I did not see that hour go by. What a great episode!
The clicker scene was masterfully translated from video game to live action, the tension was insane! Incredible episode.
This movie goes back to basics and really recaptures the classic spirit of man (or woman in this case) vs Predator.
Amber does a great turn as Naru, a Comanche trying to show that she CAN hunt and ends up in a battle against the almighty predator. The evolution of the story is a well paced and the combat encounters are well planned and satisfying.
Aesthetically the predator is a more raw tribal type than we've seen before but is well put out.
There's a few CGI moments that could have done with a little longer is post but on the whole it's pretty good.
Fun, exciting and a classic Predator tale without all the fluff, much better than what we've seen in recent years.
Also the addition of a dog companion is fun :-) Although we are in a world where every movie likes to show strong women I think this movie framed it very well and the Comanche and time frame were a great choice.
8/10
Holy sh*t that was AWESOME! A show where the heroes are the villains. I love it.
No joke, this single episode is the best Star Wars I've seen since the throne room sequence in Return of the Jedi. I can't think of anything else that comes close except maybe the ending of Rogue One.
This is a gorgeous movie. There is no villain or external force to fight. It is about a girl who had a very happy childhood learning to deal with loneliness and accepting other negative emotions like sadness. She is learning how to balance all the little pieces of herself (what separates children from adults). The movie shows little kids how you are dealing with stuff on the inside affects how you deal with stuff on the outside.
Are you here looking for reviews to see if the movie is good?
Just say Silenzio Bruno!! and immediately watch this movie
Soul is another triumph for Pixar
About the meaning and purpose of life and trying to find yourself in there
Funny, Emotional and Fullfilling
Celeste's argument made me feel like I can do anything in the world. She managed to destroy Mary Louise and her son at the same time... ugh her mind

I'm half tempted to give this full marks just for daring to play Radiohead's Everything in Its Right Place during your typical military in dropship scene. Anyway my boy Gareth knocked out another cracking piece of scifi. You really don't mind when a director takes a few years off and comes back with something like this. There's certainly a fair amount of Rogue One, Blade Runner and Terminator in the mix, the latter of which he takes the Judgement Day plot and turns it on its head defying expectations where I assumed it was going just due to the tropes of the genre.
There's also a lot of stuff on screen for 80mill in comparison to other recent effects heavy films. Gets you wondering if budgets elsewhere escalate to $200 mill mark due to talent demands or that something like this has less behind the scenes VFX artists but take longer to bake? I dunno. Either way, check it out. The trailer gives too much away (as always my opinion) however there's plenty more that isn't shown.
NB. Watch out for the Scarif Easter egg
As Butcher would say, “Fuckin Diabolical!”
Even Homelander was clueless when everyone started exploding haha
The bright colours, the haunting and melodic soundtrack and the excellent acting, direction and writing! This one is a work of art!
I'm 27 and I just saw this anime for the first time. In fact, it's the first anime I ever saw and I only watched it because a friend kept telling me how great it was. It had been sitting on my shelf for over two years and last night I figured: what the hell, let's try it.
This movie blew me away. It so perfectly captures the innocence and the exploratory nature of childhood. It enables you to view an ordinary day through the viewpoint of two ordinary young girls. It shows how boring we adults are, and how much fantasy, discovery, emotions and playfulness we have lost since we were kids. There's no macho behaviour, no bad guys, no evil to beat, just two kids growing up in a normal life, but extraordinarily presented.
A perfect coming-of-age movie and one of the most impressive movies I've ever seen. Already one of my all-time favourites. If the rest of Hayao Miyazaki's films are anything close to this, he will have a new lifelong fan.
Fantastic end to a fantastic season. The slowmo scene with the tomato was sooo silly! I loved it!
Such a great creative episode that didn’t feel gimmicky and flowed with the series without missing a beat!! Bravo !!
This was a fitting send off for the late Jessica Walter. Well constructed around existing dialogue.
Malory got to show she is still a super spy, kick some ass, and save them all.
She left the spy game on a high note and got a much deserved happily ever after.
RIP JW
can't wait to see Celeste tearing Mary Louise down next week
Really poor storytelling, Clooney's part was so cliché, you knew exactly what will happen with him in the first moment.
The part with the spaceship could have been awesome, but sadly it fell really flat - first the acting was bad, and secondly the moment the accident happened everything went worse. I mean you want to tell me that there's no doctor on a spaceship, and there's only one person who knows how is a wound supposed to be handled? Because I'm not a doctor, but putting only pressure on it and think that will be enough is just stupid.
So all in all this was not a great movie, expected so much better than this, I'm disappointed.
As an Iranian man in exile, witnessing the courageous women of my country fighting shoulder by shoulder with men, to earn back their long-lost human rights; it was very pleasant to watch this movie. Feminism, as a movement towards equal rights, has every righ to be more portrayed in media.
I was one of the lucky few to attend an early screening, and I must say, this is one of the best Disney movies EVER! The quality of the animation is beyond compare. The story is balanced with deep moments and really great comedic bits, and I couldn't stop myself laughing at each joke and meta-joke the movie threw at me. The cast is great, it's uncanny how much life they are able to give to these anthropomorphic animals. I'm definitely going to see it again when it premieres in a few weeks!
It's the best of any of the Star Wars movies for me. Hayden Christiansen may not be a great actor but literally every other actor involved is great, and Ewan MacGregor is amazing (It's also worth noting that Harrison Ford is literally the only good actor in the originals but I won't get into that now). The story for this one makes more sense than any of the originals and adds a level of politics and historical/mythological background that is completely absent from the originals. The action and effects have obviously gotten better with time and because the people involved with Star Wars have so much experience. This movie is exactly what it was meant to be the Fall of Troy combined with Julius Caesar and a little bit of Oedipus thrown in there just for fun.
