So this was considered Golden Globe worthy?

HERES A REVIEW ABOUT WICKED FROM A 12 YEAR OLD BOY FROM THE PHILIPPINES! (Spoiler Free) And yes I am a theater kid. Alright, so let’s dive into Wicked. When I first heard about this movie, I thought, “Oh no, not another musical-turned-movie disaster.” And when they announced Ariana Grande as Glinda? I’ll admit, I was pretty skeptical. But honestly, I’m thrilled to say I was wrong. Ariana absolutely nailed it. She’s funny, charming, and somehow hits those crazy high notes while still making you feel all the emotions. She’s officially my Glinda. Now, let’s talk about the runtime. The original musical runs about two and a half hours, right? Well, this movie is also two and a half hours, but it only covers the first act. When I heard that, I thought, “Wait, how is this going to work?” But here’s the twist—it totally works. The pacing is fantastic. The story flows so smoothly that I didn’t even notice the time flying by. They really took their time developing the characters and allowing the world of Oz to breathe. It never felt rushed, nor did it drag, which is quite an achievement. Can we discuss the performances? Because WOW. The entire cast really delivered. Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba is just... perfection. Her voice is breathtaking, and she brings so much depth to every scene. And Ariana? Not only does she have the vocal chops for Glinda, but she also captured the humor and heart of the character beautifully. What I appreciate is that they actually cast people who can sing—and not just sing, but sing live. Yes, LIVE. I was a bit nervous about that initially, but hearing it in the movie? Absolutely incredible. Ariana’s live vocals were outstanding, adding a raw, emotional quality to the songs that you just can’t replicate with pre-recorded tracks. Now, let’s talk about the lighting. Because, uh... what happened there? Some scenes were fine—Popular, for example, had fun, creative lighting that really added to the vibe. But then you get to something like Dancing Through Life, and it’s like they cranked the brightness up to 1000. My poor eyeballs were begging for mercy. And don’t even get me started on The Wizard and I. It’s one of the most iconic songs, and the visuals were just... meh. Cynthia’s singing her heart out, and the backdrop looks like they forgot to decorate. It made the scene feel kind of empty, which is a shame because that song deserves more. BUTTT... Visually, the movie is a treat for the eyes. They kept the CGI to a minimum and focused on practical effects, which honestly makes the world of Oz feel so much more authentic. The sets, the costumes, the colors—everything is just gorgeous. There were moments when I thought, "I MIGHT REWATCH THIS AGAIN OMG"

Well. Moana 2, a sequel that I was excited for, but also skeptical of. You see "Moana 2" was supposed to be a disney+ original series before it got converted into a cinematic feature length film. And, well the trailers made it look so good, and after walking out of the cinema, here are my thoughts. NOTE: I AM AN 11 YEAR OLD BOY FROM THE PHILIPPINES. So the pacing of the movie is just so bad. I can see where they went wrong because the movie felt like the supposed "Moana Disney+ series" threw all the episodes and mushed it together. and whatever aspect stuck, made it into the movie. The biggest mistake is not thinking to do this already instead of thinking if they could redo it. Because for me, the last 30 minutes of the movie saved the film from me giving it a 2 star review. ALSO CAN WE JUST TALK HOW FORGETTABLE THE CHARACTERS ARE? HELLOO?? I dont even know the name of the entire crew. All I can remember; Moana, Maui, Pua, Hei Hei. and Matanggi. Honestly the characters here just have no spirit in them. AND THE SONGS? Dont get me wrong Beyond, Get lost, and Chee Hoo were good, BUT? Its so forgettable aswell. The loss of THE Lin Manuel Miranda was so obvious here, I dont even remember a word from "We're back". But yeah summary, Moana 2 is a mid film. Its just RIGHT in the middle.

This review is from an 11 year old kid who watched the Barbie movie 1 year ago. Heres my Review: Dear Lord where do I start? This movie was insane! It was an unforgettable delight! The casting is perfect, Ryan Gosling as Ken was my everything, Margot Robbie was incredible, the setting. the pacing, the TRACK ON WHERE THE MOVIE GOES TO. I swear its just so wonderful. Now here are the topics I want to discuss: "Is barbie anti-men?" No. It is rather Anti Patriarchy. , but it does criticize a power structure that favors masculinity. The movie is a satire that argues against the idea that people are either masculine or feminine, and instead promotes the idea that people are individuals with a variety of traits. It suggests that being a leader is not masculine, and that being kind is not feminine. "Is Barbie Deep" - Yes! It is very unexpected as well. This movie explains the depth of girlhood and somewhat manhood. "How does barbie contribute to both men and women" -It shows that women are under the oppression of the patriarchy, and it shows that men do not need to be all perfect boyfriend (like ken who wanted to serve barbie). "How is it not anti men if the barbies mistreated the Ken's?" - First off, Barbie apologized to Ken for acting like he did not have a purpose. Barbieland is where women have power, while the Real World is the opposite. You can notice on the posters "She's everything, He's just Ken" which indicates to what im explaining. Even Ken didn't apologize to Barbie after reversing the role. I just want to add that in the end, the barbies gave the Ken's their own freedom. It is shown in the scene where the mayor gives the Ken's some land for them to start their own land. This is all for my review. So Overall: 10/10 movie for me! <3

Good OST And good plot makes good movie. Honestly there's nothing wrong with it. I've watched A Silent voice and I want to eat your pancreas, and they were good, but nothing competes to this. So lets go into my review >:3 !SPOILER! So when I said the OST was amazing. I didn't mean "oh average" I MEAN AMAZING AS HELL. The OST expressed the emotions so well in this movie unlike in any other movies where the music just ruins the entire vibe. The music here made me miss someone who doesn't even exist, if you know what I mean. For the plot, Its amazing as well. It connects Japanese culture and history to the modern Japan we have today. Makato Shinkais specialty is doing that in his movies. For the people rating it 1 star reviews, I respect your opinion dw! >:3 Kimi No Nawa was a movie snubbed by the oscars. So go watch it!!

Fancy nancy? More like crusty nancy. Shes wears 6 bracelets, her hair is like a rats nest, shes wearing ballet shoes socks and skirt. And she has 4 tiaras on. She cant handle things, shes not fancy, shes ugly, and the show has a messy plot.

Yeah this movie was great and amazing but it even that it was meant for kids I dont think its for kids for the murder of the ghost children and the sewing of the eyes and also the spider mom. But holy mother of coraline this is amazing

Now I am a 10 year old kid and I was scared that I might not be let in the cinema, but THANK GOD I got in because I had a guardian who was 14 (my sister) otherwise I couldn't see this MASTERPIECE. Now me myself is a horror fan but I did not like Annabelle. Annabelle was made by the same studio as M3GAN did. My favs are Pearl, Midsommar, Friday the 13th, The Poltergiest etc. BUTTTTTTTT M3GAN IS THE TOP. Unlike any movies who relate an unalive inanimate object, most of them are dolls and everything, but this? Something like a robot or android doll smthn. Which I thought it was really smart. The storyline is amazing. And the way Megan just cares for Cady but in an abusive overprotective way is amazing. I have nothing to complain about. I even held my pee because I was scared to miss out any good scenes. 5/5. I would reccomend this to horror fans!!!!!!

I DONT KNOW WHAT TO SAY BUT WOW
