Better late than never
8 March 2023
Just discovered this show few days ago in 2023 when i wanted safe pg cartoon for my son. I thought it was a boring show, with lazy quick uninteresting animation but i was wrong. My son & i hooked up with this show. Fun intro song, fun multiverse not realising it came a year after rick & morty, fun avatarish adventure (before disney owns 21st century) without things getting serious when i just want a fun go lucky adventure without hurting my emotions like owl house, gravity falls, etc so far since we haven't finished watching the whole season. Pretty weird, i had watched gravity falls, star vs forces of evil but how did i miss this one? Even there's no youtube suggestion, no facebook feed, as if there's a conspiracy probably too many ip in this series but why just 2 seasons?

Don't put too much anticipation
19 November 2022
I regretted watching it. They have amazing casts in it unfortunately i had no idea how they ended up acting in movie.i heard bill murray was a problematic actor, but he plays a nice police. This movie wasn't gruesome, maybe cleaning up would be a hassle like other zombie movies. I love the town with less than a thousand population, keeps me wondering why people would live in such town. Just wondering if they need emergency c section like in my country, it'd take few hours to reach bigger hospital with certain skilled specialist. I really hate the ending, it's like rogue one but not as depressive.

Pinocchio (I) (2022)
7/10
I love the ending
10 September 2022
My disappointment as a kid watching the original disney's oscar winning was the ending. I grew fond of wooden/original pinocchio, as a kid i wanted him as a friend. As for live action, the non disney 90s was already captivating especially the practical effects. Like it or not, 2022 & beyond everything will be relying on CGI. Maybe decades later we can't tell which is cgi, which is real. Zemeckis' magic from his 80s & 90s masterpieces, roger rabbit a 2d cartoon blends well with the surrounding. I can't say this is another masterpiece, but another remake suitable for kids nowadays. Try 1940's pinocchio, some kids won't even watch it. I love how hanks plays a hikikomori old man (can't help the hatred against him), i was thinking mark ruffalo would play a good old italian man with accent. So much we don't know about geppeto's past. Everything is cut up short, some are quirky. Monstro had a modification & comes with an explanation or kids be like "do whales have hollow tummy?". I'd say, give this movie a sequel. So much from the book can't fit in a movie.

Spider-man begins
23 December 2021
You saw the trailer, you somehow read spoilers random people left on social media comments & "they" are in this movie.

Holland's spider-man is a pampered version one to a point he's not the spider-man we watched since we're kids. Iron spider? Avenger? No diy sewing his own super hero suit? So much pop culture references without the complex scientific terms? Relying so much on his friends to defeat bad guys? Took movie after movie to discover his strengths.

After took care of thanos & his experience in civil war, he's still not strong enough to take care maguire & garfield's villains. His spidey sense is much like final destination's sense.

I love how strong green goblin is. This disneyfication approach on villains by turning them bad to good is paying of, like you have mental illness? You're not a bad guy, just use the great power & be responsible for the consequences.

This movie has depressing moment like maguire & garfield's version, for some superhero the tragedy will happen sooner or later.

Is this the end? Hope not, he's just starting out like the rest of poor, struggling, loner spider-men except he's still very young.

Arcane (2021– )
9/10
No cringeworthy moment, i like!
22 November 2021
I like the animation, it's like the improved netflix's klaus. It was like the time in 2000s video games had cool posters & artworks but no cool animation until this one came out. Jinx/powder is way crazier & heartless than dc's harley where i feel sorry & hate her at the same time. I never played this game, but i managed to finish the whole season without wanting to fast forward. I wonder we'll get counsellors to play their video games characters next season. Thankfully they didn't go full fincher's eleven's "what's in the box?!!". This series should be nominated for an emmy.

Teen Titans Go!: Trans Oceanic Magical Cruise (2021)
Season 7, Episode 16
8/10
Lots of references about a hollywood actor's filmography
22 October 2021
Episode has all the right moves with collateral & though i didn't manage to see all the references, i somehow heard of those movies. For now, this is my minority report.

Go make a movie already!
10 September 2021
This episode made me realise, start making a movie already! I too was angry like mariner when dennis quaid's kid missing in action with her like a piece of her is gone, thinking the boys going to make him quit this series like watching sliders without jerry o'connell. Casts are good, luckily they don't look much different than the voice actors, maintain real life actors, cgi some actors. Make good use of aging actors of other star treks, especially picard is very very old but don't kill him like in logan. What's with old actors getting killed in movies, traumatising kids now grown ups that some day their dads going to die horribly especially during covid-19???

Watchable for kids include certain adults
4 July 2021
I didn't miss the opportunity to watch each episode. Fun to watch giant robots fight. Some critics miss the 80s, i was born in mid 80s but it's time to embrace 2020s & covid-19. Wb animations probably needs to look out for disney's original adventure fantasy magical cartoon series. Maybe some people expecting something like gravity falls but can't accept touch of reality in cartoons like cheetara's corp, nature stuff, laws, stupid leader.

Worth it, now i can delete whedon's jl from existence
19 March 2021
All the questions I had in 2017 justice league are now answered like flash & cyborg could have just done it faster exhuming clark's body but they have honourable reason not doing so. The bad guys look believable & alienish, maybe snyder can start making more photorealistic than comic cgi ala 300, i prefer looking at something & wanting to be there. 4 hours & well explained. Batman plays his part very well rather than whedon's version where gets hurt easily, weak & made me think, was this the same batman in bvs??? If there's another project, I'd like batman to be as kinetic, fast like the animated jl. Wonder woman saving people, just wow. Maybe we'll get all dc characters vs darkseid 1 day or maybe amazo, just don't rush it WB. You can't rush art.too much, too fast of it could be another michael bay's transformers.

Who needs giant mechas in ordinary life in extraordinary world
20 November 2020
Main protagonist gets bullied almost everyday including his guardian/colleague which reflects some of us but use his superpower/non muscle type+a limiter for the greater good but still focusing on importance of teamwork(I'm too tired watching overpowered protagonists growing from an idiot to a champion thanks to hero's journey guidelines). Not much tense watching each episode as no need to cringe what the antagonist would do in the finale. Exciting adventure from a typical everyday routine to places out of the world. It's not depressing watching each episode, sad yes but not depressive for some deaths/goodbyes. unexpected happy endings for victims/friends is a satisfaction (really hate barb's death in stranger things). I almost forget the soundtracks are great, mix very well with the mood. if there's season 3, i hope characters' bios pop up have bigger fonts for non nihongo speakers.

Nostalgic
17 November 2020
This kid didn't spoil everything to his parents or any grown ups. We continuously wonder if he'd end up in a psychiatric ward like western films portray to anybody making up stories they can't comprehend but thank God we get to see a happy ending to appreciate past, current & future family members. Just like "when marnie was here", I'm going to forgive how this kid manage to imagine his fantasy or even to the extent connecting to his mom's kid version or his great grandfather's young days. This movie is a must for people going to have second child & how we're going to treat the first child.

The Mighty Orbots: Magnetic Menace (1984)
Season 1, Episode 1
8/10
this episode gave an idea to james cameron to defeat t-1000.
22 August 2020
The mighty orbots carry the bad guy to subzero temperature of saturn & another planet into a valcano where that's how you kill t-1000 in terminator 2 (Luckily james cameron didn't end up using the whole idea of giant mecha movie). Although this series aired in 1984, the animation was unlike transformers, voltron etc where i remember how clean & smooth it was except me still today can't accept a human size robots change into a giant robot. The godzilla like monster was like Netflix's anime godzilla, speaking of ahead of time.

Star Trek: Lower Decks (2020–2024)
9/10
Rick & morty?more like opposite of doraemon & nobita.
17 August 2020
One is like opposite doraemon who .. yes, comes to the rescue but also the one ruins it in the first place. The later is opposite nobita, work hard to accomplish something. Totally enjoying it, can't wait for more episodes. Thank God no shocking moment, death like rick morty. Don't mess up my mind like rick morty, let me watch cartoon & enjoy star trek going crazy once in a while instead of the nerdy clean serious star treks. You people need cameos from picard, wheaton & any surviving star trek crews.

Harley Quinn: Batman's Back, Man (2020)
Season 2, Episode 5
9/10
Iron man 3 sucks
17 May 2020
I still don't get it, how to beat bane?!! (He takes down batman in the dark night without drug enhancement! )This episode bane goes super bane vs iron bat suit, even bane vs iron bat suit could not weaken bane. Batman in this episode goes ala iron man 3 & the iron bat suit could not do the job at the same time disappoints a fan.( What if in iron man 3 the kid sees "the mandarin" takes down iron man easily? I'd switch side if i were him. ) Before pepper pots annoyingly tells stark to stop being iron man, we have alfred tells wayne the same thing but this alred is the most reliable alfred from all of alfreds & a superhero.

The fun ended after they got help
17 April 2020
With limited ammunition battling merciless criminals, they defend themselves until the very end. Not overcomplicated movie, every question has answer, the enemies don't give up & fearless also smart at cutting every communication & electricity. It ends as in, it ends without question with no more "what if?". I wanted to see the movie ends with unexpected ending, but after you got help everything should be okay..full stop( Not suddenly there's another challenge rescuers/backups need to overcome & the plot twist good guy turns out bad guy, give me a break!!!).

Star Trek: Picard (2020–2023)
9/10
It's prof x from that movie logan, but in space
18 February 2020
I grew up watching star trek the next generation & patrick stewart is where some won't recognize him as picard but prof x. He's picard & this web series is like the movie logan but data won't be as hardcore as wolverine since both should be immortal but writers know damn well to make them died of something. So, expect something like x23 where picard an old fragile man plays the hero (don't end up like prof x in logan! Oh i wish logan was a tv series or mini series). The cinematography feels like watching a movie too. This is based on episode 1, now I'm gonna watch episode 2. Hopefully my 9 star will stay & don't end up like x files (90s series was great but someone had to ruin it.)

Go watch the host/gwoemul (2006)
2 February 2020
I really don't understand the motive, the devotion, the problem of monster attacking america. (Yeah, we all know on news all the invasions including the failure in vietnam & now iran.)

Why the host? We all need to watch not so rich, moderate, broke, everyday nobody people doing something extraordinary to save a family no matter the odds.

Beautiful ending
19 January 2020
It was like fight club, minus the mental illness & self harm. This movie proves short cut to success does exist. jesse eisenberg plays a righteous lex luthor while imogen poots plays a female always be compassion. Being bad will make you lose true friend & doing things right is always the give bad guys opportunity. I was thrilled the moment jesse finds the truth of the truth but later on it answers the need for that secret room. So, will jesse be killed in this movie? Let's find out in this movie.

thanos conquers many places but fails at earth
25 April 2019
Epic battle, just like any sentai tv series or kamen riders where they all come together to help. out of many, wakanda help them and not much help from america. this movie serves as captain america 4 & bucky did spoiled early on even before infinity war came out of what captain america going to do to falcon. the previous thanos is smarter and stronger than infinity war thanos, he killed many and conquers planets but earth is no match for him. all thanks to infinity gauntlet. this movie has been contaminated by too much rick and morty's elements! you people just can't make a decent time travel movie like back to the future!

now russos, go make me "community" movie.

Your Name. (2016)
7/10
I expect more but how did it get the hight grossing anime movie???
5 April 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Not as magical as hayao miyazaki's other masterpieces.

It's just an animated, scifi & romcom version of j-drama I'd a say. I used to be a j-drama fan but people move on to k-dramas which makes better tv series & also films compare to japan nowadays.

1 thing I'm impressed of the hero or typical japan hero's journey, they'd do anything against all odds to achieve the goals for the loved ones. Like the tragic death of lalaru from anime "now and then, here and there" after shu trying so hard to save her. This movie did the same & the hero rewrites history, luckily the boy in the girl's body didn't cry wolf to save them all. It's kind of weird nobody heard of the town hit by the asteroid #plottwist

Why i watched this movie? I was single & longed for ala j-drama love story.

Why i kinda hate it? I was in japan, not as fun as watching j-drama & that time neighbors next to a bnb i booked wasn't available, the old guy said "i cannot understand English". The ending like spirited away's ending the dragon kid, haku... What became of of the haku??? Now this movie, taki & mitsuha??? They finally got to meet face-to-face (happily ever after) & it's up to us to make up their next story?????

Why i kinda like it? I don't want to end up in a tragic death by asteroid, proposed the girl I've had known for 13 years.

Not marvellous at all
31 March 2019
Looking at the all-time worldwide at boxofficemojo, marvel or disney is the apple of the industry. Whatever they sell will sold out. Didn't expect the remake of live beauty action beauty & the beast made billion

I feel sorry for battle angel alita, the adrenaline watching marvel can't surpass alita.

Disney's current fashion trend is turning the bad guys into good guys, look at maleficent!

I still don't get it before this they said Scarlett witch is the strongest avenger, now it's captain marvel. What about thor & hulk? Thanos took hulk down easily in infinity war. What would happen to captain marvel when rogue from x men becomes MCU?

She doesn't seem tough like the animated avengers assemble. I hope to see her tougher side in endgame or any sequel.

Alas, go watch battle angel alita or disney should market this movie now disney's 20th century fox.... Please fix predator & alien franchise (make it r rated too)

They're great together!
27 March 2019
A rom com with a bit of fantasy.

Their love didn't last long enough where most movies always end up a happily ever after. That's reality bites, don't expect ups without downs. Not just about love, also business. Thanks a lot movie writers, i was about to start a business but this movie made me think thrice.

Be careful of a potential incest ideas, this neither a porn movie nor a japanese adult video. Just try watching it with an open mind, but this is the only part against my moral & I'd like to condemn Paul rudd's acting if he successfully plants the idea to anyone's subconscious mind.

The downside of this movie, there's not much movie with this hilarious storytelling starring the woman from "parks & rec" & now the current "ant man" who seems not right for evangeline lilly.

Overall, i watched it together with my wife & we laughed until the end.

Bright (I) (2017)

Where's the sequel???
25 March 2019
This is nothing like suicide squad especially i was bit disappointed to see david ayer at the opening credit but i was wrong after watching the whole movie. It took one night for the duo to finish their quest which is great, we don't need a long winded journey & as jakoby wanted to be acknowledged badly by the orcs, he's like any normal person who gets tired the whole adventure wanted to rest do badly while will smith plays someone who like it or not had to "babysit" an orc but deep down he has a pure heart. I want to see a sequel for the unanswered questions like will ward gets his revenge on the orc who shot him? Why serling acts like the dude, i thought the magic task force was a plot twist or something.. etc. The trailer was fascinating, but the critics got into my head that took me 2 years to watch it & still no sequel. Sorry david ayer, bright is a great movie but not suicide squad... Blame the better version of warner bros animation's suicide squad. Will smith still got his bad boys persona.... Don't ruin aladdin. I used to be a straight forward jakoby.... Doing the right thing but ended up in trouble...
