I am genuinely surprised at how bad this movie is. I gave it two stars because I think the art is so pretty and I loved the book at the beginning and end. The characters are awful. The only one that stands out to me is Magnifico and he gets the shaft in the end. I think it would have been such a better story had Asha found his secret wish or something to get him to see the error of his approach. The story never really explains why he won't give the wishes back if he doesn't want to grant them. It's frustrating because he seems like a practical guy that wants his citizens to be happy. He had such hope and it's such a shame how he ended up. I think it was a huge missed opportunity not to show his past like the grandmother's in Encanto. The main character had no depth at all and was annoying and her friends were even worse. The story was very weird. Did they not take story telling 101 at community college? I understand wanting the emphasize the wish upon a star theme but have a better set up for it! Did the wishes have power? Why did they hurt people when they were destroyed? What was Mama's wish (built up over and over but never revealed? Maybe I missed it?) Why does Asha get the wand? Why do they need a sorceress if everyone's a star? And are we talking about wishes or dreams? Those seem to be interchangable in this movie when I don't think they are. For example, I wish I was thin against I have a dream to one day be a professional photographer. Crushed dreams hurt more than crushed wishes. It's just weird. The star reminds of the star buddy from Care Bears. I don't think it was as cute though and a little creepy. The songs were losers and I can't remember any of them. The movie felt like 3 hours and it was only an hour and a half. How far Pixar has fallen from its glory days of Finding Nemo and Wall-E.

This is not a kid's movie. It's way too long and it's boring (from a kid's point of view). I expected to hate this movie but I thought it was pretty good. I had to separate myself from the toy story buzz bc these two are not the same. The politically correct stuff was gross, didn't belong in this supposed kid's movie, and didn't add anything to the storyline. Heaven forbid we have a normal family. A black female senior (of course) to Buzz has to be homosexual. Looks like all potential boxes have been ticked. When did Pixar stop being fun? Oh right when they sold their souls to the devil. They made the Incredibles, they should have known how to make a fun action filled movie for kids that would have inspired Andy. This movie would not have. Where's evil Zurg? Where's the aliens? Where's the action? Where's the galactic alliance? Where's confident, take charge, kick butt Buzz that doesn't need to be rescued constantly? Etc. This movie was better than blue beetle or wonder woman 84. It is just for adults though. I liked Chris, I thought he did a good job for a young Buzz. I liked that he matched Tim's mannerism. I liked the cat though it was a strange addition. I also liked the twist with Zurg. This movie should come with a disclaimer that says "we are throwing canon out the window." I have no attachment to the misfits, the criminal old woman was weird and the quitter was annoying. Why the weird obnoxious characters? No one knows how to tell a good story with good characters anymore.

This movie was painful to watch. The family was awful. I'm surprised Jaime came back to them in the beginning. They were obnoxious and horrendous, especially Rudy (why was he there anyway?) The grandmother was interesting until the end when she lost her mind. Does Hollyweird know how to make movies anymore? Family going to "save" a superhero? Ridiculous. What was wrong with Susan? Why was she acting like she was in a junior high play? Her acting was so over the top bad, I wouldn't have believed it. The most frustrating thing was the potential. Glimpses of banter between Khaji and Jaime. Maybe the struggle between wills would have been nice. But maybe that would have been too hard for the brainless to understand. The movie was about the blue beetle but that character was hardly on the screen. As usual The movie was way too long. The setting - why wasnt there more exploration of the culture and neighbors? We get this unappetizing cartoon sketch of a Mexican family. Is that what these families are like? All the time? Maybe the writers should have watched Encanto for tips. Jenny was forgetful and couldn't act either. Why was she helping Jaime again? I still don't understand how she was related to Susan's character. Furthermore, what was the reason Susan's character wanted to build a scarab powered army? Was there a reason or did we just need a cackling witch of a character? Why did her guard suddenly turn on her? Cheesy cheesy cheesy. He's got a pic of his family that he carries but don't expect an explanation. Jaime was forgetful and came across as an idiot which is a shame. I'm really surprised at the high ranking of this film. I must have watched the wrong movie.

I read so many good things about this movie. Maybe I didn't see the same movie? This movie sucked. It was so boring and it was a struggle to finish. I am glad I didn't see it in the theater. It was so BORING. Tom Hanks' character was really irritating. The weird montages to show time progression were jarring. The modern music was like ice water being thrown in my face. What was the point? I don't understand why people think the actor that played Elvis was a look alike. Have they SEEN how shockingly handsome the real Elvis was? Very disappointed.

I can't believe this movie is not more popular, it is fantastic. But I guess in the dumbed down society that we now live, it's to be expected. The Most Reluctant Convert is thought provoking and is a treat for the mind. The presentation was so unique with an older Lewis narrating his life as he literally walked through it. The actor who did it was so engaging too! I wonder if that had to do with the fact that he is a theater actor. It was pleasant to see how atheists and Christians could debate their beliefs with intellect instead of emotional meltdowns. The beautiful scenery of Oxford was unexpected. The story is wonderful as well! It's so refreshing that it's only an hour, makes you think, has no profanity, violence, or sex, and it's over in a blink! I could go on and on. GO WATCH IT NOW!

Pretty bad which was disappointing because it had potential. "Gas and water has dried up" according to the back of the DVD. Yet one of the first scenes is motorcycles racing along the desert... never explained. There was a pound at the end as well. How is everyone alive with no water? I think Lucy was in this as a favor to someone. I watched 99% of this on fast forward. Why does the robot suddenly want to make out with a lesbian? No clue. Why is the main character an absolute moron? No clue. Even if you're sheltered, there are still survival instincts. What was the point of drugging the main character with so much stuff that a horse would have died? No clue.

I'm not sure why so many Catholics liked this movie, including Mark himself. The vulgarity and blasphemy is shocking. It seems to be there purely for shock value, including the horrendous dialogue that his parents say to insult God. Not one character seemed realistic. I'm very disapponted in a so called Catholic film being so terrible. The transition from bad Stu to good Stu is unrealistic and jarring. His seminary days are awkward. Nothing seemed genuine in this movie, I can't put my finger on why. I'm also puzzled as to why anyone feels inspired by his random conversion, I guess I missed something. The lighting inside the church scenes was really strange as well. Why the spotlights, darkness, and silhouettes? Carmen's fornication is an extreme disappointment as well. Did anyone who put this movie together learn about character development 101? I am skeptical that the real Fr. Stu (God rest his soul) would have liked this movie. The two best parts were how he became a priest and Mary during his accident. Just my humble opinion.

This movie was bad. I am shocked at how bad Angelie Jolie was. She was so bad that I thought it was a different actress. Whatever she got paid was too much for the 'acting' she did(n't) do. This movie was lame. It tried to be some moral masterpiece and it was just long, fragmented, flat, and really long. I didn't care about any of the characters. Every character seemed to be fake and uninspiring. Nothing was aptly explained. (SPOILER) Why was thena the only one cracking up? Memory erase went wrong? No more like the writers couldn't think of anything. Why couldn't the eternals talk to Tiamut? Why does the planet need to be destroyed for a celestial to be born? Why does the destruction of a celestial cause billions of other beings not to be created? (END) I think it might have been better had we known the purpose of celestials without a quick tell all in the beginning. I fast forwarded a lot towards the end, it dragged so much. The obligatory woke pair with a child was disgusting as well and was tacked on in the end instead of coming up with something more creative for the black character. Has having a normal one man and one woman married with children become taboo now in Hollwywood? Sersi and ikaris' relationship is about as shallow and empty as Anakin and Padme's. The character I liked the most was the sign language woman but heck if we know why all powerful beings need HUMAN sign language instead of communicating normally. What a mess of a movie.

Very bad. I went in with low expectations as I hated the third movie but was still disgusted. Why was every male (especially Morpheus) flamboyant? Did Hollywood forget what a male is? The playing of the first Matrix scenes just seemed to rub salt in the wound. The story had potential, that was the most frustrating thing about it. The new matrix makes no sense at all. People are getting unplugged at random and regular Joes are able to fight off Agents. I fast forwarded many times. The end was absolutely atrocious. (SPOILER) Hollywood loves making male heros nuetered. Neo couldn't possibly be the one on his own. He needed Trinity and together they would be the anamoly which contradicts the previous movies. (End SPOILER) The acting was just weird. Keanu must have had a cold or something, he was terrible. Good thing Lawrence and Hugo weren't in this car wreck, as much as I missed them. This was so awful, like Batman and Robin awful.
