Gojira -1.0 (2023)
Abso-f-ing-lutely incredible
After being scarred by one too many poor quality Hollywood movies for the past decade, I fortunately made the decision to switch to a production from our friends to the East.
It's been a long time since I was emotionally touched and invested so fully in every single main/secondary character. Their development alongside their background stories is so refreshing and the acting is simply sensational. The emotions are so raw being a post war movie, it got me reflecting to how grateful I was in my own life. Never expected this when I pressed play on this movie.
Without giving away spoilers, the movie isn't oversensationalised with crazy scientific weapons to combat Godzilla but an actual plot that doesn't feel too unrealistic. There is the perfect balance of just about everything that makes you feel all spectrums of the human emotion in the span of 2 hours.
I highly recommend watching with the original Japanese audio with respective subtitles. This is a movie I'm sure I will revisit in the future. 10/10.
Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)
A very confusing movie
Certainly was an explosion of emotion but not necessarily in a good way. Various times throughout the movie I was really bored and the scenes felt forced. In some instances, I felt excitement and the action scenes certainly didn't disappoint. It was like riding a rollercoaster and you're not sure if you want to get off or stay on.
On a high level, the plot made sense but the movie could've been 30 minutes shorter with a lot of extended rubbish. The movie definitely could've done more to develop the side characters instead of giving them instant personalities but then again that was always DC's weakpoint. In Marvel movies, there's always a character that's unexpected and provides comedic relief and unfortunately in WW1984 it was extremely predictable and bland.
Now why did I still rate this a 6? I couldn't find any areas where I would recommend to be fixed when normally I'm a smartass and seem to have a comment after most comedic/casual movies.
The teenage kids sitting around me looked like they were half asleep and they extremely disappointed like I was but I still think for fans of Wonder Woman this is a watch and just remember to set the bar low.
Kimi no na wa. (2016)
Incredibly vivid, original and beautiful
This is not normally a movie or anime that would fit my taste of genres. However upon recommendation from social media I decided to give this a whirl.
Absolutely mind blowing the level of detail the animators have poured into this masterpiece. I honestly paused a few scenes just to admire the dedication the animators did to cross every t and dot every i. The story itself is original and captivating which had me stuck on my seat. The voice actors also need to take a bow because I genuinely felt myself immersed in the timeline of events and importantly, feeling what the characters were experiencing emotionally too.
Ask yourself, when was the last movie you watched where all your expectations were blown out the water because this is what 'Your Name' did to me and many others.
Captain Tsubasa J (1994)
My childhood in an anime
I will try to be as unbiased as possible as title suggests so I will list down arguments below:
Pros:
-Soundtrack is beautiful and bring tears to my eyes to this day
-Story is captivating and well thought out
-Characters are very real and voice actors are perfection
Cons:
-Too much clutter between games, unnecessary wait time between goals
-Ending during a climax seems cruel given I wanted to see what happens after in same timeline
-All animes follow different story, very annoying
Overall one of the best animes I've ever seen as I associate it strongly with my childhood, even removing the emotional aspect this is still highly recommended as a must see anime, especially if you're a fan of the 90s.
Charlie's Angels (2019)
Embarassing
Somehow the producers turned a good franchise into utter crap. Frankly you had to put effort into being that bad to produce rubbish like this. Every actor in this movie signed up for woke points .
Shin kidô senki Gundam W (1995)
16 years on, a few animes come close but not quite
I've had the unique experience of watching this as an 8 year old boy who was completely obsessed with Gundam Wing after my uncle gifted this set of (then) VCD's to me. Back then, my priority was always animation, delivery of action scenes and how 'cool' the Gundams were.
Watching it again 16 years later, not only bought nostalgia but more understanding of what the movie transcends and the meaning the artist who made this wants us to interpret. I'm a financial industry professional, so please don't judge my knowledge of film techniques, but the symbolism and effects are really noticeable this time round watching it.
Everything about Gundam Wing is well thought, and has meaning to it. I may be biased because I did watch it as a child but I can honestly say this is the best anime/tv series I have ever seen just with the character development and continuity of storyline.
So I ask you give this series a chance before knocking it off as another knockoff for kids/teens because it is truly fascinating what this series delivers and I can honestly say I will remember this series for the rest of my life.
