Lost me at the assault scene and the rapist be killed off screen. You put in all the effort to show an incredibly upsetting scene of a woman being assaulted but shy away from showing the death of the man who assaulted her???

Vile. Feels like a horror fanfic with all the paper thin characters and gross out gore. The only thing that makes this even notable was the use of Winnie the Pooh. A.A. Milne must be rolling in his grave.

The hatred I feel for this movie is immense. The reason? The characters are horrible and unlikeable, (except for Matteo because he’s a mood.) Our “hero” Sam is just a caustic bitter jerk that puts down and criticizes everyone. Yes, I absolutely love to watch a privileged princess complain about how much she hates being a royal and yet getting to keep all her privilege. In fact, her hatred of monarchy and want for “democracy” really only adds up the future installment of a parliament and that’s it. Sam is freaking insufferable and falls into the trap of “arrogance is confidence.” The story is interesting with the concept of the overlooked second-born royals being the main defenders of their crown is really cool. However, I really don’t know why even the royalty know about it? They are the first ones that should know.

You seriously did something wrong when you’re more interested in every character except the leads. How am I supposed to root for Cinderella when the wicked Stepmother is more likable and vastly more interesting that her?

He’s 15 years old. He’s a minor. Hell no.

I never like these new age sequels but now, I finally found one that I can say I genuinely love. So many of these movies struggle with that line of being their own thing and an homage to the originals, but not Ghostbusters Afterlife. This one is different in the ways that matters and still pays homage to the first two Ghostbusters movies. It’s got a good sending, great characters, new and old, and a really good setting. One of the few that I have shamelessly cried in. The humor, a mix between witty and good ol’ dad jokes, is a delightful cocktail that definitely appealed to me. (Note that humor is suggestive so my opinion on the matter is simply that: my own opinion.) It is everything the last Ghostbusters “sequel” could never be and will appeal to a much wider audience. I greatly, greatly recommend this one.

Another reason why we don’t mess with timelines. Mediocre beginning, action packed middle, and colossally garbage end that I will chose to ignore. [MAJOR SPOILERS] This movie has been added to the list of why I hate movies that mess with the timeline. Beginning had way too much exposition dumped out on the audience and could’ve been done a better way for first time watchers Then it took a turn with things going so good in the middle portion. Action was great, the stakes were high, the animation was crisp, and the deaths meant something. But then, they decided to do what I hated the most in movies and games: Mess with the timeline. It has to be done so carefully lest it concludes with the very point it makes out in this movie: nothing mattered. The connections Jim made, the lessons he learned and thus taught others, the lives he touched are all ultimately thrown away. Thanks snapped right out of existence. He will never make the same connections that he did before. Blinky’s full focus will be on Toby, Draal will (maybe) bond with Toby or outright continue to hate Toby, he will never earn the loyalty and friendship of Nomura, or the respect and support of Vendel. That’s all going to be rp Toby, and I’ll get to that later on why he is not a good choice for Trollhunter. The amulet chose Jim and that was made to be no mistake. It was his destiny and we saw in a very important episode that if he never took up the amulet, it would’ve gone to Draal (rest in peace bud.) Yet this movie shows, nah, it would’ve chosen the first bloke to pick it up. As for Toby, I love him but he is not meant to be THE Trollhunter. He was a hero in his own right but in no way, had the metal for the responsibility. Toby can be initially cowardly, he’s irresponsible, he jumps ahead without thinking, and very easily distracted while Jim already had the inklings of what made him a hero to begin with. He more than makes up for his short comings with his heart and loyalty but he is more of a Samwise, not a Frodo. He was never meant to be the star, even though he is a hero and fundamental part. This has cemented itself to be among the top five worst series finales and endings I’ve seen.

This movie is remarkably colorful with an eye catching and unique design, this movie is sure to hook in with its aesthetic color and fluid animation. The story is cute and full of personality. Though it has its flaws and it’s cute, colorful nature might alienate some audiences, it remains a fun watch. It’ll keep the kids entertained and parents might enjoy the heart behind it all!

The fact that people think that the toxic behavior of the characters is something romantic and therefore is “goals” is disturbing. The kind of toxic behavior depicted doesn’t get better. The characters are so problematic and the constant fighting is just a testament of why they should not be together! In real life, these two would be at each other’s throats after a few years together and at best would have an on again off again relationship. Boring with characters as complex as a flat piece of white bread, this story is even worse than the first.

Better in almost every way than the mostly passable original. The characters are better developed and cgi animation is a step up, especially with building on the characters of Cyborg, Flash, and Aquaman. The only flaws can be the somewhat excessive 4 hour length, though it does benefit from the length and some music choices. A more subjective complaint is the return of certain actors playing villains but that can be overlooked and doesn’t negate the fact that the movie is wonderful.
