Bad Guys 2 Review

 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. Really trying not to get into spoilers here, as you can tell. I thought the pacing was really good for the first and second acts, being chaotic but also nothing feeling rushed, but I do feel like I have a major complaint with how the third act ended up. I feel like you had great buildup, but the actual third act of the film feels a bit rushed. Like the best way I can put it is that the first two parts felt chaotic but I didn’t mind because it all flowed together well, but then I feel like the third act feels chaotic in a way that is clunky, and not in a way that is attention grabbing and fun. I think the third act is significantly worse for another reason, which is that, the first ⅔ of the film has much less obnoxious kiddy humor than the first film, but then in the third act they bring back the Piranha farting gag that I don’t like about the first film, and almost go ‘this is to make up for the rest of the film not being obnoxious’ and just bombards you with fart humor. It’s not great. 


However, despite being definitely flawed, I found myself really enjoying this film. I would give it a Strong 7/10, due to the third act bringing it down.

The Plankton Movie Review

I remember hearing about this film leaking about a year ago, long before it actually released, and after the disaster that The Sandy Cheeks Movie was, generally people who saw this early due to the leak thought it was surprisingly good, especially after the terrible last SpongeBob film. So, due to the overall positive reception from leak watchers, I had moderate hope that this film would at least be an alright film, a 6/10. Then, the film officially came out in early 2025 and…. No one talked about it. No one really cared. In fact, I completely forgot about this film until I saw it in my recommended feed on Netflix after watching the original SpongeBob movie. So I watched it earlier, and I must say: If this is your favourite recent Spongebob film, I would completely understand, as this film does have one thing about it that I thought was pretty cool. Especially because, recently, films in the SpongeBob franchise have been in a huge slump of quality, it's not hard at all to get a fil...

Wallace And Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl Review

I was looking forward to watching this one since it came out, ages ago now, but it’s on Netflix now, so here we are. I finally watched it. The first full Wallace and Gromit film in years, a franchise that is definitely the British staple at this point, with the titular characters, undoubtedly, along with Paddington, being some of the most iconic British characters ever. And as a British person myself, of course I ended up watching the next film in the series. This film marks the return of villain ‘Feathers Mcgraw’ from the wrong trousers, their most well known villain. And, honestly, while bringing him back feels like kind of nostalgia bait for people who grew up with the films, they did a great job of still keeping him a great, and unapologetically, cartoonishly evil villain. He definitely feels like the same character, only now in a different situation (using Wallace’s inventions to break out of prison) which I feel like is always good when you are bringing back old, beloved villains...

Spongebob Squarepants movie review

  Spongebob Squarepants Movie Review The Spongebob movie is very iconic, for sure. Even if you haven’t watched it, you’ll recognise scenes and gags from it from its presence in internet culture and memes. That applies for Spongebob itself to be honest, but there's practically no one on earth who hasn't watched even a single episode of the show. I mean, up until yesterday I hadn’t watched THE SpongeBob SquarePants movie, but I sure could tell you about goofy goober and the SpongeBob yelling scene, thanks to the internet. That being said, I had watched A SpongeBob movie before, in the form of Sponge on the Run, which, to put it lightly, I didn’t really enjoy. Because, it feels like they dumbed down all of the characters, took away everything that made them charming, and made basically all the characters 1 dimensional, despite the fact we have such iconic, and to be honest, layered characters to work with, and you remove everything that makes them likeable. Not only that, but Spon...
