The Star Wars franchise is Doomed! Lazy writing, too many plot holes, most of the story is too convenient (like when the bad guy is asked about his age and says "many years", yet he's know older than the twins. I don't know why Kathleen Kennedy is still employed. At least write a good cohesive story with characters that don't sound so plain.

When you here what Dev Patel went through in the making of this film, I had more appreciation watching it. A good story slipping between the gritty action & fun. I'm not one to see a movie twice but I will on this movie.

It wasn't as bad I thought. The things I didn't like were where Kamala had two bracelets in a scene then one bracelet the following scene,(little things matter). I Iike Kamala. The singing part was very awkward & silly, (as if you were watching a completely different movie for a moment) & also mentioning marriage is a diplomatic thing.

The game won't let me pick up dropped legendarys. It's annoying!

Maybe my expectations for the movie were too high. It was an okay movie for me. The movie felt rushed, the editing felt unnatural, the only accent that felt right was Maisy's & they rushed an unnecessary romance between two characters. They had such great actors & actresses but it didn't feel like they were used to their full potential. With all the time on their hands since 2017 they could of made a really great movie instead of a okay movie. Also there should of been way more character development or content for each character. If they made it a two part movie or at least 2hrs to really explore the story instead of a short 1hour 30min I'm certain this movie could have been better.

I rather enjoyed blue beetle movie. The guy from Cobra Kia did a good job in his first movie. Looking forward to the next one. López was hilarious & the grandmother was my favorite as far as the cometic part goes. His interactions with his sister never came across as fake, it really felt like it was his sibling. It was good to see a Latin hero's point of view. His parents were a showcase too, they had his back no matter what happened to him.

The CGI was beautiful & they had a great cast. However, I think there's a way to stick with the original story & add concepts without a retelling & if there is a retelling then it shouldn't so close to the original. Something's didn't make sense & fell flat to me. A few examples: Peter Pan was saved multiple times & he really didn't save anyone throughout the film, he was riding horse back on Tiger Lilly's horse when he should be able to fly, Wendy could suddenly fly without learning how to fly, Tinker Bell's name was never mentioned which made her seem unimportant in the story. I really did want to like this movie but I lost interest.

I thought it an interesting take on twists. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Josh Brolin & Will Patton sharing the same screen since Into the West. It's truly better than most movies in the theater! I was in the field of making films & it's not easy to make a cohesive film as Outer Range. I believe most (not all) critics nowadays are just upset people that won't allow them to enjoy simple pleasures, so they want to nitpick & tear a apart things.
