A sequel to my favourite Pixar movie? IMMEDIATELY SOLD! I was already hyped after seeing the trailer, and I kid you not the movie did not disappoint! Yes it has been almost a decade since the first movie came out, and I was 10 during the first movie. But now watching the second film as a 20 year old, I found it extremely meaningful and applicable to my (and many many other people) teenage years. I found the animation, music, plot, theme, and moral exceptional! Nothing negative to say about them! The film also did not feel childish at all, it was raw, deep, and very realistic and fitting for the grown audience. The way that the animation symbolized and depicted real-life illnesses and mental conditions many people face was really well done and accurate. It’s amazing! Each of the characters were also perfectly pulled off and OH MY the music brought me to tears! Most certainly will watch it again since this yellow memory is never going to be forgotten!

what an intimate and affectionate drama this is! It's so masterfully written and the OST is just AMAZING! Each character is so well-performed by their respective actors, especially the main leads. To this day, I still don't understand how the actor for Gil Chae can cry fountains in a matter of SECONDS!!! For those who love historical dramas or even just romance, this is the perfect drama for you! Storyline: 9/10 Character development: 10/10 Theme: 9/10 Music: 10/10 Vibe: 9/10 Rating: 9.5/10

It’s not a bad movie. Elemental just shows a lack of originality and creativity, seeming like a copy and paste of your typical plot. It reminded me a lot about zootopia, and I must say, it’s more like a work that had less effort, due to the unimpactful development, dialogue, and theme. As time goes on, it becomes more and more difficult for producers to create something new and innovative that can appeal to everyone, and I believe that this is the case here. “We already know how this goes”, which is the key reason why this movie did not work out. Some parts I did find cute, but not memorable. The visuals show that technology has improved a lot, but it doesn’t make up for the shallow storytelling quality

To be honest, Twinkling Watermelon initially seemed like your typical Korean drama with a predictable plot and character development. Although I got bored with the storyline at some points, the character chemistry and depth of the significance behind each scene made this series very memorable. The time-travelling idea is unique, which also brings us back to a time when society lacked inclusivity given the absence of support for deaf people, a great way to reflect on our past. I really enjoyed watching the spontaneous development of Chung Ha and Yi Chan's relationship!! THEY'RE SO CUTE! The final episode was also a fantastic way to finish off the series, unlike many dramas that have a strong beginning and a poorly written conclusion. Twinkling Watermelon is an exceptional drama and I recommend it to anyone who is looking for goofy laughs and heartbreaking tears >.< Storyline: 8/10 Character development: 8/10 Theme: 9/10 Music: 8.5/10 Vibe: 9/10 Rating: VIVA LA VIDA/10

Masterpiece. AN ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE. I have never balled my eyes out that bad before. It has everything you’d expect in a romance drama. Yet, the way the story is woven together and pieced together from different time frames is unbelievable. I love how well it worked. There was never any overwhelming feeling of info dumping, it just flowed. It flowed. When you feel like one part of the story was missing, it would immediately be answered and satisfied as if the story was listening to our thoughts. The symbolism of many scenes is also just impeccable. I am speechless. Harumichi is a soft BEAN. I mean, seriously. The acting from everyone is astonishing. It felt so real. This can also be shown by the applications of real world disasters like the Japan earthquake, covid, etc. It was not some sort of fantasy. This love is real. That is why none of the scenes felt cheesy or fake. It was full of purity and meaning. And don’t even get me started with the songs. It will always be inside my heart. I’ll remember to love. IT TAUGHT ME HOW. I literally cannot wait to watch this drama over and over again to relive the story of their first love ❤️

Okay. I watched this film when I was in grade 9 and I couldn’t stop rewatching some heartbreaking scenes and listening to the soundtrack. Now, I am in university and I still cannot get over the magnificent score along with the complexity in the story, characters, and themes. This is by far my favourite film of all time because it is perfect in EVERY WAY: the character, the conflict, the change, the visuals, the colour symbols, the voice acting, the music. I could just go on and on. In my personal opinion, this film is a very mature and significant step above the first film, and is even better than the first. Many others can agree with me. It has a rich balance of comedic and solemn elements that drive the movie forward much more than the first and third film. Don’t even get me started with Shen. MOST COMPLEX AND WELL-WRITTEN VILLAIN EVER. There are so many theories and interpretations of Shen’s actions, backstory, and last moments that make audiences feel nothing but pity and sympathy for the character. I love how Po was not the only one who experienced change, Shen also changed psychologically. You can tell at the end where he had learned something he never did before: accepting. He never wanted to accept that he was the problem, that others are right, that there’s still hope for him. He believed that he was permanently broken and scarred and cant be healed. This was why he was so shocked with disbelief that Po, after suffering through so much loss and grief, was STILL able to find peace. Shen was frustrated that he was so stuck in the past, so wrong about everything, and mad at himself, which could be why he accepted his death at the end, admitting that he did not deserve to live. I would keep going but I wanna go to sleep so… Anyways, this is a fantastic movie that shouldn’t even be rated because it’s way too awesome!!! By the way, the music is so meaningful and Im so impressed at how it can masterfully incorporate Shen’s theme into almost anything. And the fact that Po and Shen’s theme go so well together shows just how connected these two are. Like literally, no other movie in the trilogy portrays such a meaningful connection between the protagonist and antagonist. It’s crazy!

My childhood is ruined. Although I understand what their motives were after viewing the plot and Someday, this movie does not justify the conclusion of the Zombies franchise. It seems as if the directors and writers think that the child viewers back in 2018 did not age and did not grow up over the years. The first movie came up when I started high school and I grew up watching all three movies. Sadly, these movies continue to lose their spark and meaning. The songs did not stick to me and sounded like the song writers rushed through the planning process and just whipped up the simplest tunes and bashed words that rhyme together. The actors made it seem like the viewers are watching Dora the Explorer, constantly looking at the camera and not acting naturally. And why do all the werewolves do a claw action and never even attacked for real? The plot was so predictable and generic that it seemed like they asked a 10 year old to write the story. It lacked depth and quality. And I can’t be the only one who is so triggered by the whole Cast singing Someday, a song that has always been dedicated to Zed and Addison. I do not want to discriminate the cast, but I am just saying that their voices cannot fit this kind of tune and mood. Only Zeddison can sing this masterpiece perfectly. The only thing that saved this movie was Zed and Addison, I mean, Milo and Meg’s chemistry. Do not ruin your day by watching this money grabber.
