  Moana 2 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 15 Mar 2025

  Ok. This was really good. The start was contrived just to get her on an adventure. But the goal to eliminate the barriers between people was hugely impactful. I was crying at the end. 

  Awhimai Fraser is amazing at Matangi. Her song was my favorite. 

  I liked every member of her crew including the old guy. So all in all a very worthy sequel.

  This was excellent. Robert Patterson is amazing. As is Mark Ruffalo.

  The plot is fun and satisfying. Special effects good. The Ruffalo character hits its mark and is difficult to watch at times because it’s so realistic. Like, this is what the men who are mashed up in the character are like. What their motivations are. Sigh. At one point the realistic nature of the driving force of Ruffalos character made me sick to my stomach. Not because of the action, but because of how sick the moral character is as a human. 

  Bong joon ho nailed this.

  ★★★★½ Watched 27 Jun 2024

  This is as amazing. 
  Saw it in IMAX and it was worth the extra expense Felt like you were in the battle sequences with the vibrations. 

  Plot was great. Prabhas was great. Amitabh was as great. Deepika is wonderful. I cried during some of her sequences. She’s very moving. 

  I like how they put this together and wove an epic into this story and universe. The design work was fantastic, again drawing from the epics but in a modern way and not a classical way. 

  Great movie. Lots of fun. Exciting.
