Movie Reviews

 Yeah that's right, a new Smurfs movie in 2025, despite the fact that Smurfs doesn't have a market with children at all in 2025. I watched it, mainly because the marketing was horrific and I wanted to see if it's really that bad or if it's just a mediocre kids movie. It really is that bad. I disliked basically everything about this film, although I did like the fact that the cat is called Azrael, because it's the name of the Undertale character, but that's just a coincidence on the writers' part, there is no way they did that because of Undertale. That being said, sometimes it does feel like the film wasn't written by human beings at all, because the script really feels like you typed in 'generate the script for a generic kids film but cater it to the fact that Rihanna is in it' into Bing A.I.

  The Bad Guys 2 is honestly better than the first. Cutting to the chase here, but it was a blast, with a couple flaws, but otherwise a really fun time. First off, the animation is better than the first, and downright amazing, especially for being outsourced. It was even more fluid and dynamic, and the fight scenes especially looked incredible. Especially the zero gravity fight scene near the end of the film, which was a highlight animation wise. The plot itself is insane, and very difficult to summarise without getting into spoilers. The film is very unpredictable with where it goes story wise, and for the most part it works, with a much more fun and fast paced plot. The villain, Kitty, is also really intimidating, and a scene stealer of a character. The other new characters are also pretty fun additions to the cast, but none compare to how good Kitty is as a villain. She is probably the perfect villain for this story, and Wolf’s arc in the film.
