I was smiling the entire movie. The level of detail and care that went into this film is incredible. Tributes from the first game to the last mario game. Yes, it's a children's movie, yes, the screenplay is not a masterpiece and yes, you will like it more if you are fan of the games. But it's a fun ride from start to finish.
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
I think the message of the movie is rendered more important and urgent by the fact that so many adults simply don’t get it.
The story is beautifully told, but in a society obsessed with being successful the metaphor about the gifts flies over most heads.
"The more you know who you are, and what you want, the less you let things upset you."
Be warned: this show has straight relationships. There's actually men and women who love each other, I can't believe they are pushing this agenda. Can't we just keep politics out of these shows?
Argo expertly builds tension and makes you wonder whether the mission will succeed. Enjoyable, Suspenseful and well-acted.
I'm fully in love with the way this show lets its characters fail in front of each other, the way characters call each other out for wrong-ass behaviour, the way forgive and reconcile... folks seeing each other, showing each other kindness. Even though it's paper-thin in some areas, the areas in which Ted Lasso are trying the hardest to succeed (humour through character and empathy, mainly), it's just f*ing **excelling. Also: Hannah Waddington is just ridiculously good in this episode. I know I've seen her in several things over the years, but I hadn't quite noticed how great she is at the acting until this role.
A very good IJ movie, probably my third favorite after the first and third film. It feels like a full on IJ film, lots of action, a bit of humor, nice ending.
The only negative thing about it would be that some of the CGI was a bit iffy towards the end. However, it still worked and didn't bother me.
Would highly recommend :thumbsup:
If you're a fan of the Super Mario Bros games (like I am), love Video Games, or have kids, I highly recommend this high fast paced, funny, and visually pleasing film!
A lot of critics didn't like it, but the Audience Score is at 95% for a reason! I love fun movies at the theater, and I bet you would too!
Glad Disney got rid of this movie cause it wouldn't turned out so good otherwise. Funny and likeable protagonist (great voice acting), girl power done right. Gay couple but not forced. Quite emotional as well. Glad to see the classic animation style made more creative and modern instead of the usual Pixar 3D models.
I don’t care what anybody says! I started smiling when the Nintendo-logo appeared in front of my face on the big screen for the first time ever and stopped when the movie was over. It’s fun, fantastic and full of easter eggs. For long time fans (like me) this is everything I wanted to see. I love it!
I totally love this movie I used to play Super Mario Brothers back in the days and I'm so impressed with the detail they put into this movie truly love you highly recommended it's must watch
Will your family really accept you for you? Those who visibly cannot conform to their family's expectations are rejected and the rest run themselves ragged trying to hide their perceived flaws from each other. I could go on forever on how Encanto uses the magic powers as metaphors for the generational pressure/family dynamics, and wow if it didn't hit hard!
Visually beautiful, interesting characters and great songs. Unfortunately parts of it are too reminiscent of other recent Disney animations for it to truly stand out. EDIT: I do think a second watch brings out the absolute best of the story (raised my score from 8 to 9) but really shouldn't have been necessary.
I knew there'll be bad acting and ridiculous fighting. I watched for pure nostalgia and that what I got :blush:
Literally the best movie of 2023. It’s all. References, music, VFX, argument.
It’s a damn love letter to Super Mario Bros saga.
"How can you arrest a house?"
Never change Grog, you majestic motherfucker.
Sheer fun. I laughed, I danced, I sung along.
You guys hid Liz all this while to end up with..what is this.
Nothing less than a decade-defining show! There's no doubt this is the absolute best crime drama ever made considering it's the one that started it all, setting the standard for everything that came after. I loved CSI for so many reasons but mainly because of how intense the cases always got, how gripping every episode was, and most of all how much the city itself made a huge impact on the different stories as if Las Vegas were part of the cast ... that's something amazing I haven't yet managed to find anywhere else in the genre. Needless to say, I binged my way through the seasons! I have to say I hated them for killing off Warrick, him being my favourite and all, but at least we got to see Greg up till the end #hilarious
Great show with adorable stop-motion animation and vibrant colors!
I know just how labor-intensive the stop-motion medium is, so I understand we couldn’t get a full season of 8-12 half hour episodes but nevertheless I was so ready to keep going once this show ended. Hopefully enough people watch this so they can greenlight a longer second season.
As of now, the show comes off as a cute series of vignettes with nice anti-corporate messaging about finding purpose in friends and the outside world instead of getting bogged down by the digital world/capitalism.
I’d recommend this to anyone who loves Pokemon, stop-motion animation, or just an easy relaxing watch. Definitely showing this to my future kids!
Now THAT is how you write TV. One word, that last word, took this episode from great, to un-fucking-forgettable.
"The thing about this form of communication is you're likely to talk about nothing. But I just want to say... all this nothing has meant more to me than so many somethings."
I love Meg Ryan's character, the setting, the development of the story and of course the chemistry between them. But every time I watch it I end up disappointed with the ending. Instead of proving herself to be a woman with integrity (and slapping him for the way he manipulated her), she just falls into his arms unquestionably. Unlike her heroin Lizzie Bennet would have done.
It's one of the few Nora Ephron romantic films I really complain about the ending
Pure unadulterated fun for Mario fans of all ages. Leave your expectations at the door and just let this nostalgic experience sweep you off your feet.
I like the sense of homor used in this film and being against senseless violence, I can honestly say that I could not detect any senceless violence in this movie, therefore a 10+
5 grams, kilo 5 kilos scene is brilliant / hilarious.
Bluey's third season (or at leats the part already available on Disney+) confirms and underlines what I already knew: it's the best show on TV. I already said I everything I had to say when I wrote about it after watching the first two seasons so I got nothing else to add besides bonjour pavlova!
