Raya and the Last Dragon (2021)
Better than I thought but stupid ending and message.
SPOILER ALERT
I'll be honest, I was really expecting this movie to be pretty terrible and just another Disney child's movie, but I actually enjoyed most of the movie. The animation is spectacular and the story is interesting but too fast paste and lacks depth. It is also a typical Disney movie where you could pretty much predict the happy ending of the movie within the first half hour. The voice acting was also top notch, you could tell they were emotionally connected to their characters. So overall I would say 90 percent of the movie is enjoyable. However the 10 percent that isnt really kinda ruined the movie for me and was a big turn off for the movie. One big example is how clan Fang is constantly ruining the world over and over again and keeps getting trusted until they finally had no choice but to combine the gemstones because they literally were the last people not in stone thanks to their own dumb decision to backstab everyone (were also the main ones responsible for sisus death) and thanks to everyone stupidly trusting them again.
Also hated the ending where the very chick (Namaari) who ruined the world and killed sisu was now the one responsible for saving everyone and all of a sudden everyone loves her and thinks she's awesome (not realistic at all.) That should have been given to Raya, and the whole constant trust aspect of the story bothered me, like is Disney trying to teach our kids it's okay to keep trusting people you know are going to stab you in the back until hopefully they come around because they litterally have no choice? Because that's not real life, real life you could die for trusting the wrong people even once. The morale of their story backfired because they are trying to say everyone needs to come together and trust each other to overcome trials in life and save everyone, but in their movie that doesn't happen until litterally there was no other option for Namaari to take than to trust and combine the gemstones because she was going to die and nobody was coming back if she didnt. Clan Fang even wanted to keep sisu for themselves before they screwed that up too. Idk.. the parts that I disliked about the movie really did kind of ruin the movie for me though, and I think they were trying to send the wrong message. However if none of that bothers you too much then the vast majority of the movie is really well done, entertaining and enjoyable. Plus the beautiful animation and awesome fighting scenes make it easier to ignore much of the annoying stuff.
Kingudamu (2019)
Way too much screaming and overacting and too much drama
I was hoping this would be an action packed war movie, and it was in some ways. But the constant emotional cry/screaming drove me absolutely insane by the end of the movie, so much so I didn't even finish the last 15 mins of the movie. It was unbelievably predictable, the lead character was uninteresting who was constantly screaming and yelling for long periods of time. There was more drama in this movie than anything else. If you took out all the screaming, crying, flashbacks, and talking in between fighting (super unrealistic) you could condense this movie into a short 30 min movie and you would still get all the important parts of this movie. I went into this movie expecting to enjoy it, and ended it early because it was that boring and annoying. It could have been such a better movie than it turned out to be because the plot of the movie was good. I would advise skipping this movie unless your into drama war movies where there's almost non stop crying and screaming and very little action.
Deep Blue Sea 3 (2020)
Great time killer, semi-realistic
So this movie is definitely watchable and enjoyable, but it had it's moments where I was like wtf. It was too easy to tell when the sharks were going to jump and attack. It was realistic with the fighting between the chick and the dude, most movies make the female who's 1/2 the size of the dude a badass who beats the guy up which I'm sorry ladies but is totally unreal, and it usually ends up being super unrealistic in the fighting. In this one she was overwhelmed by his strength but still managed to kill him in a realistic fashion. I also did not enjoy that she could care less that her boyfriend jumped off the boat to try to be with her and got killed by the shark and she could care less, even if she were mad at him, seeing someone you view as your partner or someone you like die before your eyes in such a brutal fashion would make anyone break down. She didn't even bat an eye or even really acknowledge his death. It was as if he didn't even exist to her really.
