Them 90s critics owe Elizabeth Berkley an apology. She delivers an excellent, unhinged, but ultimately affecting chaotic performance. She is such a damn dynamo.
I had not watched this movie until now, but had seen clips as a kid and sort of mentally tracked what appeared to be its "assessment". Something like this:
1993: This movie is awful, Elizabeth Berkeley is awful
2000: This movie is ironically fun, it's a midnight showing camp fun time
2015: We've reevaluated Paul Verhoeven,…
Animation is incredible again. Geppetto's workshop, with all the clocks is just a joy to behold.
As in Snow White, every single character is a complete imbecile except for that horrifying dude who runs the children to donkeys pipeline.
The very basic moral lessons were good for my 4-year-old: "Don't smoke, Don't drink, Don't Play pool, don't join a traveling puppet show, go to school, be brave and swim directly into the belly of Moby Dick".
I like the fantasy…
There's nothing else like this. It's bawdy and saccharine and melodramatic and it made me feel like an angsty tenth grader. I was inspired by this beautiful mess of a motion picture.
I'm really surprised by how much I like these stupid Sonic movies. It helps to have a 4-year-old to get excited with but I feel like these are shockingly tasteful. Like there's enough weird jokes and anachronistic humor that it feels like the folks cooking these up are wearing more of a chef hat than I would have thought of for what is supposed to just be a dumb IP cash-in. It's making me want to play the games? I feel unsettled that I'm becoming a Sonic fan at age 38 help.
