If Marvel is trying to get on a redemption arc for the past year and a half of that series of trash you call films, this movie was a great start. To keep it concise, the humor was on point, bringing alive your classic banter between the team just like the first movie. It was also great to see the emotional side of everyone’s story. It helps you understand their backgrounds. There was also closure for each character that was defined with perfection. Fantastic film all around!

I would watch this movie frequently growing up during Christmas time. I thought it was a neat little movie and I really enjoyed watching it. I didn't think too much about what had happened though. It was very sad, but life goes on. Then, about 10 months ago, I had lost my father to COVID. I haven't cried any harder in my life than when my father died. I handled it pretty well, but it still took a huge emotional toll on my family and I. Fast forward to Christmas time. I remember this movie and think, "I haven't seen this in a while. I think I'll watch it!" 4 months had passed, which isn't a lot of time. As I watched this movie, the emotions surfaced. I RARELY so much as shed a tear in even the saddest movies. Knowing what that kid had to go through made it extremely difficult to contain myself. The whole time, I'm thinking, "All I want is to hug my father one more time." After the movie ended, my wife asked ever so calmly, "Are you alright?" That pushed me over, and I immediately broke down crying, burying my face into a pillow. I will always reflect on this movie know as one of the most relatable films to me I have seen. Just like the kid, I am grateful I had an awesome dad. I will always remember him as my hero each time I watch this film.

I enjoyed watching it through. It was wholesome to see Woody and Bo-Peep reunite. Definitely appreciated by the original Toy Story fans. Again, very enjoyable to watch. It’s fun to see all the toys together and how they work together just like in 1, 2, and 3. However, this was the very reason I gave this movie 2 stars instead of 1. The end of the movie, though only a sliver of 5 minutes of the movie, left a huge negative impact on Woody. All 3 movies, Woody’s character has been built up to be a brave, loyal cowboy who will look danger in the eyes in order to defend his friends. He truly reflects the ideal infamous hero character within the story. The ending of Toy Story 4 took all of that build-up and threw it in the trash, then lit the trash can on fire and tossed it into a volcano. Woody literally abandoned not only his friends, but also his owner, who probably would have broken up crying when she found out he was gone. Why did he leave? ALL FOR SOME GIRL. That, and some bizarre need to find himself in the world. The Sheriff Woody I know would never turn his back on his owner and his lifelong friends. What a waste of a character. Thank you Disney for providing me with the dissatisfaction of a broken down character.

Not sure why the tomato meter gave it a 33. This is one of the best documentary-themed movies I have ever seen. I love surfing. It fascinates me. This movie really brings alive the concept of surfing. Most people stereotype surfing to be such a 50-point IQ level activity with people driving down in their hippie van with ridiculous long blonde hair in swim trunks to catch a wave. Yes, there was a hippie van scene but it was irrelevant. I appreciate how these stereotypes have been corrected in this movie. Surfing isn’t a leisure activity, it’s a sport that takes serious dedication, big waves and small. If anyone wants to get familiar with surfing culture, here’s a good starter movie. Also as a bonus, my best friend’s uncle actually surfed with Jay. He was also the first person (or one of the first) to find out about his death.

This doesn’t even deserve to be on Netflix. I knew the quality of the film was gonna be bad once I saw internet stars as actors. Anyways, the plot was completely absurd. It wasn’t even basic; it just didn’t make sense. First you have these 4 kids going to camp. Nothing out of the ordinary here. Then, by some insane means, aliens just come out of the sky and attack earth and kill everyone. All that to build up the one main character to prove himself to be brave in the cheesiest way possible. Absolute garbage film.

I thought this was a great way to get the public excited for the coming trilogy. It wasn't over-the-top spectacular, but that's how it should be. Not too amazing, just enough to relight the spark. It introduced the new characters who would be played and gave them all a decent background. Like everyone, it was mazing how the old characters were brought in so we could see where they are now. At the end of the movie, we were left with unanswered questions that assumed a following movie. Amazing! However, one of the main critiques I have is about the dialogue. If you look at the scripts of the first 6 episodes, it's more formal and set up. Episode 7 and on seemed a little inconsistent as if it relied more on comedic scripts and improv. Other than that, it was a wholesome movie worth my time. It's a shame the storyline was ruined by episodes 8 and 9.
