Short review: It’s eh. Long review: (SPOILERS AHEAD). I first saw the trailer when it came out and I was so excited. Han Solo is by far my favorite character in the entire Star Wars franchise, and even the slightest thought of him having his own side movie just blew my mind. I missed my chance to watch it in theaters, but as it came out on Netflix, I watched it, and was surprisingly disappointed. My biggest problem with this movie is the fact that Harrison Ford didn’t get his spotlight. I’m not saying Alden is the worst, but he’s also not the best. Other than the actors, I’m really just not feeling this movie. The storyline is constantly changing and getting more confusing. It also feels like it was very fast paced. I liked the appearance of Lando. Although it was quite obvious from the trailer(s). The other characters aren’t that exciting. It’s also confusing because they forced Han to a death sentence, yet he escapes unharmed and still gets to go along with Beckett. Overall this movie wasn’t very good.

It’s an abomination. They tore up a good franchise for this cash grab of a movie. It is obvious this isn’t for entertainment purposes, it’s just a lousy reboot of an otherwise enjoyable trilogy. Reboots will always be disasters (for example: the LEGO ninjago movie, the ghostbusters reboot etc.) Casting: Susan Heffley: No, I don’t enjoy this character particularly in this film. It’s not like she’s one of the biggest characters, but in the last few films, she actually had character. Now they are just trying to make her this mom that everyone should feel bad for because her kids are doing kid stuff. Frank Heffley: I’m disappointed in this character. He used to actually be a character that did something for the plot and would complete an enjoyable storyline. Now he’s just business dad who doesn’t care about his kids anymore. He’s such a weird character and hard to even watch on screen. Manny Heffley: Probably the only good character in this film probably because all he does is get a pig, return it, and get it back. Greg: of course, the main character is horrible. It’s not necessarily the actors fault, it’s more the screenplay that they chose him to do. They want the audience to go: “Haha, greg is at his shenanigans again,” but what the audience really does is say “Huh?” In this movie, Greg isn’t getting in trouble for his own selfish acts, he’s getting in trouble more or less because he’s being deservingly upset. For example: the cleaning cart. When Greg hears a ruckus outside his room, he finds a group of children bashing a cart of cleaning supplies into the wall. When he is deservingly upset about this, he confronts them. The children get angry and shove the cart at him, Greg moves away in time, only to watch the cart scrape up the children’s dad’s car. It’s not gregs fault, it’s the children’s. The only example of Greg being selfish is when he changes the gps to go to a gaming convention to meet the cringe-worthy ninja rip off “Digby.” Rodrick: Let me get this off first: Rodrick isn’t an idiot. He just prefers to live a life like one to get off easier. This movie completely contradicted this. Instead of being a teenager, he’s just a bumbling side kick that the directors want people to laugh at. He was more of an intimidating older brother, not this floundering idiot. As the memes say: “This is not my rodrick.” I’m quite sure the horrible acting is because of the script but honestly I cant defend any of them (except for manny). The intention of Susan is to get her family to bond on this road trip. But they aren’t bonding, they are just bumbling around in a rush to get to their grandma’s house. Just a little “Haha,” there and a “Potty Humour” there and you have a disaster of a diary of a wimpy kid movie.

Great movie. Will Arnett is funny. Some jokes are pretty laughable like “The Kids at the orphanage call me Dick.” It is funny, good, and a must watch for Batman fans. That being said, I do have to point out what’s wrong with this film. The jokers intentions are very weird and unvillian-like. He wants Batman to “hate him” as all superhero’s and villains do, but at the same time, he wants Batman to, (don’t take this the wrong way), love him. I know there’s these weird fanfics about Batman and joker being gay, but thats not what I’m talking about. I feel like the joker in this film doesn’t have a real motive, it’s kind of just “hey I want you to hate me, but still love me as I do evil things and destroy this town you love.” Good but weird cameos. Voldemort comes in at some point during the end, Daleks, the wicked witch, the eye of Soren, and King Kong all make cameos. I know they are villains and all but it seems unnecessary. It still does set up the plot for the rest of the movie, how Batman can’t defeat them all without help from family, but it’s such a weird collage of characters it doesn’t really appeal to me as I never watched the hobbit or a lot of doctor who, as I’m sure most kids have not. Voldemort and The Wicked Witch and King Kong were smart inclusions, but the Daleks, eye or Soren and the green lake monster mostly go completely unnoticed. Overall, this movie made me laugh, but also very confused and slightly aggravated. (Most reviews with 1 star or under are just people that don’t actually give reason to why this movie was bad)

Man, this movie was a train wreck. Before I get started, This movie is entertaining and somewhat enjoyable. My opinion should not stop you from using your time to watch this movie. Being a fan of the show “LEGO Ninjago, Masters of Spinjitsu,” hearing this movie would come out made me amped up. I was super hyper to watch it, I couldn’t wait. Watching the movie to me was really awesome. I was enjoying it, loving it and when I walked out I said it was “Great”. I’ve rewatched this movie several times, and boy, I noticed what was wrong immediately. This movie is targeted towards the demographic audience of the show, mainly young kids from 7-11. When your a kid, and see a show you love get a trailer for it’s own movie, you don’t even have time to watch the trailer again. Your immediate response is to get hyper and amped up. Then, when you actually watch the movie, your so excited you don’t even realize what’s wrong. This is how a lot of these movies are. If you were to rewatch it, you don’t even have to pay attention to see what’s wrong. My main thing is that they ruined the shows fun and interesting ideas of having ninjas with shiny gold weapons fighting against evil snakes bent on revenge and a dark ruler obsessed with control. Not to mention it was a kids toy that moved on screen for everyone to enjoy. The show had good laughs and comedic affect. The movie takes an entirely different approach, and relies on the tactic that nobody will be paying attention to notice. I will admit, there is a few funny moments where they can get a good laugh out of you, and there are some good action scenes, but overall, it does feel like something is off. One of the main things in Ninjago is the fact that they can do spinjitsu, a spinning offensive move that can clear things out of ones way. This movie glosses over that entirely and makes one terrible joke about them practicing it. Ninjago is a show about learning the ways of martial arts. This movie almost never uses that besides the one shot of Jackie Chan catching a few plates. The ninja in the movie have mechs, and when they aren’t using them, they are using swords, nunchucks, Etc. It confuses me a slight bit because in the show they use elemental vehicles. I’m not sure whether the producers were trying to replicate that or what. It just feels like a lazy excuse to not use actual fighting affects in what was supposed to be a fighting movie. Garmadons character in this movie sucks. His personality is just “I’m dumb kids laugh at me please,” like a beg for attention. His purpose in the show was to be a father that wanted to care but couldn’t, so he was hurting himself by not doing that. This movie just makes it seem like he doesn’t care. Not to mention the fact that his “army” is a bunch of furry’s dressed in fish costumes, instead of stone warriors or skeletons. The main lure for parents is the famous actors like Dave Franco and/or Jackie Chan. I don’t really feel for these actors in anyway whatsoever. This movie was a good idea but executed in a awful way. If they had looked back and actually used some knowledge and hadn’t been too lazy to include fighting affects, this review would’ve been more positive. I suggest you watch the show rather than this waste of time.

Bonsais! This show is amazing! The shows plot is that Thirty four years after events of the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament, a down-and-out Johnny Lawrence seeks redemption by reopening the infamous Cobra Kai dojo, reigniting his rivalry with a now successful Daniel LaRusso. There are so many good characters in this show. They really make you feel for them throughout, and the rivalry’s make it so much better. There are multiple perspectives from this show which makes it so easy for you to get hooked. A YouTube red original that is now streaming on Netflix. I really enjoyed watching this as I enjoyed the karate kid and it’s sequels which, weren’t the greatest. You get to see bonds with specific characters and their sensei’s, it makes you relate to them with somebody special to you. This show is also hilarious. I laughed so hard while watching the first season. Some episodes (specifically the fourth of the first season) aren’t the most appropriate with adult humor, but with parental guidance I recommend it ages 14 and up. Overall, it’s pretty clean besides the cursing. This show is amazing and really portrays the karate kid. Another thing to note, you should probably watch the three movies before you start streaming. There is some references needed to understand jokes, or just plain facts, but watching all the movies isn’t necessary especially if you already watched them. I recommend this so much. Grab some popcorn, a friend, a relative, grab a soda and sit back and stream. Cobra kai never dies!

This show is phenomenal. The first episodes were a bit corny and I was thinking of quitting it because it looked boring. I continued watching and to my suprised I was really really enjoying it. The show itself is great. The plot changed mostly every season, but the same storyline is continuous through the entire show and it makes it much easier to understand. The characters are funny and grow a lot through development and make you really care for them. I’m not going to give any spoilers, but some things happen that really make you sad, but that’s really what you want in a show. I’ve been watching this show since 2011 and I still do watch it here and there, enjoying the old memories. I do have to admit, the seasons get rough after the 10th. The plot kind of drags away and isn’t that interesting. I thought the newest season was actually really good and finally made a season for a very underrated character. The show doesn’t get enough credit in my opinion, and LS Mark and just stop made a video talking about how “bad” it was (it got lots of hate). I definitely recommend this show to all that are looking for something new to stream. It’s episodes aren’t the longest, only 20-29 minutes usually. So sit back, grab a snack, and watch Ninjago: Masters of spinjitsu!

I’m kind of aghast at this movie. Now the books are definitely better with very much evidence to prove it, but this movie was Fantastic!! (Spoilers) In Harry’s second year at Hogwarts, he faces a big mystery revolves around the Chamber of Secrets, and The Heir Of Slytherin. The movies mystery element adds a spectacular touch to the story and makes you so itchy to find out what happens. Now, the movie over exaggerates the books, and some times it makes the movie better, other times it makes worse. Some of the scenes give me a lot of jitters, like the scene when they are consuming the polyjuice potion and their skin bubbles up. The scene that really scares me is Aragogs Scene. I have acrophobia and that scene gave me anxiety. Overall this movie is fantastic. My only complaint is that the movies parts don’t exactly align with the books, but as I said sometimes that makes it better, others it makes it worse. I definitely recommend this movie to all wizards and witches, but if your a muggle.... don’t even think about!!
