Uzumaki (2024)
It's so well done and Junji Ito stans must see
Uzumaki is one of my favorites. This is so well done and it's truly like watching art move. The way they've animated the actual manga scenes is insane. It's so beautiful m. I'm not sure why people are talking about pacing but just ignore them. You can't fix ignorance. You can't complain about pace when everybody has read the book differently. I suppose some humans need things done slower for them too, like cutting food. The music is pretty good and matches the various moods of Uzumaki. I'm really blown away by how they've animated everything. It's almost creepier with the animated. The English VAs aren't bad either. All in all I absolutely love it and can see all the hard work that's gone into this project. Any Junji Ito fan must see.
Avatar: The Last Airbender (2024)
A great second attempt that buries the 2010 film.
It's the live adaptation that we needed. No it's not exactly like the original but it's good enough to give us more. All in all I think most of us long time fans will love it. Yes, there's a few things they can fix for S2 but they are easy fixes honestly. Giving us the humor would be one. The casting was flawless and they did a great job. Give it the chance it deserves as fans. It's not the 2010 film, it's 100x better and any fan of the animated must give it it's due credit. Yes, there's some tweaks they can make but it's all in all very good 👍. Great job Netflix. You didn't entirely mess this up =)
Dashcam (2021)
A genius film. Absolutely brilliant. Ignore the bad reviews. Read mine.
The fact that Annie Hardy played such a miserable version of herself was utterly phenomenal. She goes out of her way to be the representation of Americans that everyone but Americans can see. She freestyles, and most of her script was improv. Annie is such a Karen in this film that you almost watch the movie to see what bad things are going to befall her. It's a fun ride, there's a lot of hilarious dialogue that preys upon the issues we had going on in 2020. Theres a slew of audience commentary thats so very much what we see today. This film is very much like a Horror/Comedy. It's meant to offend you so obviously the trolls are going to bombard it with bad reviews but honestly I highly recommend giving it a shot. Just have the knowledge that the main character is so atrociously a Karen but oddly enough I wanted to keep watching. It's honestly a genius film and the fact I see so many reviews bashing it just tells me it did what it intended. It's one of the best "livestream" style horror films I've seen. Give it a chance. It deserves it.
Underwater (2020)
Honestly the only Kristen Stewart movie I love
Any self respecting scifi/horror junkie should love this. As a fan of HP Lovecraft, and deep sea horror, this was honestly brilliant. Graphically excellent. The music is perfectly scored. The cast was excellent! Typically I don't even get into Kristen Stewart but she honestly played a freaking great role. She was awesome. Vincent is always amazing. It's a very dark ride and honestly I loved every bit of it. It still shocks me how critics butcher it with reviews. Give Underwater the chance it rightly deserves because it's a wild ride that doesn't disappoint. If you like Lovecraftian anything then this truly is a must see!
Mortal Kombat (2021)
Long time fan. Lots of love but left me needing more.
So I've played the game since MK1 was out on arcades. I have grown up with these characters like many of you. The film is a fantastic reboot but it does need a bit of tweaking. The cast all around was really great and did fantastic work. Some of the fights seemed way too ....I dunno....robotic? It just seemed like there wasn't a natural flow. Some of the fights just came on far too fast without giving these characters much of their needed back story. I feel like they sidelined alot of the fighters gorgeous storylines for this new Cole character. Some of the villains deserved more love too. Reiko was just terrible first and foremost. You can't pop in these characters that are huge characters in the game and comics but then give us what they gave with Reiko. Same with Nitara, like wtf? Mileena was absolutely stunning!!! She gave me everything I needed but, once again, they didn't give us anything with her story. Visuals were okay, but lemme tell you, the flame visuals were absolutely atrocious. I'm like really? Ice effects, gorgeous. The flame effects, preschool. I think my biggest complaint is the complete lack of lore, and lack of story. If you can't add to the depth of these fighters then you need to figure out a way to do so because we needed to hear so much more from the villains side. Everyone deserves to know where Mileena came from, who Reiko is, who Nitara is. The non gamers need to know that Sub Zero is a title, and that other members can, and will, become the next Sub Zero. They focused
the best details pretty much entirely on the two faces of MK, and they did a fantastic job with Scorpion, aside from the fire FX. The fighting between the two was quite superb and im glad they gave then the limelight but i fear these two characters took away from the others a bit. All in all it was great and I'm so happy we got a reboot. I just hope they can pace things out better in the future. Let the characters have some growth in the future so when we see someone get a fatality we feel for whoever it is instead of it being more of a "well alrighty then, why did we even need to learn their names?" Oh and can SOMEONE please tell me where the super Jax arms just magically popped up from? Once again, they explained the hard lined points of the story but gave us no extra in anyway. There just wasn't much depth to the film beyond the story behind Hanzo and Bi Han.
