RENEÉ RAPP & AULI’I CRAVAHLO ARE BOTH AWESOME….. but this movie is not 😕
I get why’d they would make a feature film adaptation of the musical but tbh, it can never top how iconic the original 2004 film was at the time and even still now. I still quote and make references to it quite often, which I’m sure other people do too because it is just that iconic. To the point where it’s so meme-coded, we celebrate Mean Girls…
Watching this just reminded me of The Adam Project (2022). Specifically how The Adam Project is also an action, sci-fi, family film made by a director (Shawn Levy) about to make an MCU film, Deadpool & Wolverine (2024).
This is The Russo Brothers’ The Adam Project, before they go on to return to direct Avengers: Doomsday (2026) & Secret Wars (2027). This has a very simple and cliché family, sci-fi narrative with charismatic characters that are tied together with themes of family, love and humanity.…
Just as an action film alone, it’s super generic and has nothing interesting to show/say.
As a Russo Brothers film to add to their filmography, this is really disappointing. It’s crazy to me that these are the same people who made 4 of the greatest MCU films which also consists of action, drama and thriller which is what The Gray Man is…
…so like what the fuck happened here? I wasn’t expecting the story to be amazing, but that it…
