Great movie! Amazing motifs that are cleverly depicted. It will inspire you, warm your heart, and leave you with philosophical questions to ponder in regards to your own life. Definitely go see it!
The "diversity" in the cast was well placed and fitting because the script was all about jazz and show biz. Except for the opening scene which tries to jam as many non-whites in as possible to reach their...
Sequels usually suck. It's hard to balance giving what the audience liked in the first place, and also giving them something new without deviating too much from what clicked originally. Sadly, this film was just the same exact formula, but with slight changes. If it was an homage or two, it would have been cute. But the whole thing felt like one throwback after another, and just came off as lazy.

The white male protagonist is effeminate and incompetent. No big deal, though, because it's a buddy cop movie and they chose to make Jackie Chan the straight man. But Jackie normally does slapstick humor with his fighting, so why not make him the goofy one? Well, they did the same in "Rush Hour" so it's not a white guy thing, per se. When you compare any American to the robotic / hierarchical Far East...
The movie had some redeeming qualities. The two protagonists were fairly charming and of course the entire movie was visually stimulating. But there was just so much globalist clichรฉ crap shoved in, it's very close to a "skip" rating. You won't pull your hair out watching this film, but it'll be very frustrating to say the least. So only watch it if someone else suggests it, and hope it's in somewhat...
Fantastic! Take your kids to see this one for sure. Absolutely gorgeous animation and a worthwhile reboot that brought something new to the experience while staying true to what made the original great. Very tough balance, but Favreau did it.
The only reason the Affirmative Action ratings have points is because after watching the movie, I watched the voice actors. A good chunk of the main characters...
The anti-god themes rating was only there for the most strict religious followers to be warned: reincarnation is a core theme of the movie. But it doesn't preach anything and feels very heartwarming throughout. The average setting is in a farm town with characters out of a Norman Rockwell painting. Perhaps all these reboots and period pieces represent a subconscious longing for the pre 1965 Immigration...
ย Pretty decent movie. Decided to watch it after I stumbled upon the brief Murdoch Murdoch review of it. For those in the Dissident Right it's like watching a car crash in slow-motion because we know how it really screwed things up for us and we've already watched all the clips and interviews ad nauseam. And this time it's even more frustrating because they act like the Alt Right is the one...
ย This is a nostalgic film from back in the day. Recently, I was talking to a guy about manifesting and quantum physics and decided to give it a watch. It's free on YouTube right now as well, so I figured what the heck. TL;DR basically everything they say in the film is false. But I am a believer in positive thinking and many successful people are as well. At the very least placebo effect...
Just a typical blockbuster action movie. Nothing to really delve into analytically.
There was a tiny bit of women being bossy and physically superior to men without superpowers but nothing heavy. Of course they had to make the police chief black among others. But not crazy J.J. Abrams affirmative action. Itโs just, they portray white rich men as one dimensional boogey men, exploiting the poor...
It goes without saying, but if you are 100% convinced that heโs a traitor with no redeeming qualities, then you should skip this film. He is, afterall, the protagonist and things are dramatized to make him seem heroic. If you were on the fence, as I was, when I sat down to watch this film, then I highly suggest it. The movie does a great job of exploring this philosophical dilemma, while also...
This was an ok movie - Carrie-Ann Moss and Samuel L. Jackson try to get the whereabouts of three nuclear bombs from an American turned terrorist. One uses torture, the other wants to use verbal negotiation. In the end, the movie falls flat, as there is nothing new we learn about the ethical dilemma of using unethical methods on one person to save several millions. If you are looking for a movie to...
Ever seen those YouTube videos where people climb on 500 feet high telegraph towers to change a lightbulb? Or maybe you can't even watch a rollercoaster POV video? Congratulations, here you can vicariously embrace your fear of heights for one and a half hours! "Fall," directed by Scott Mann, is a gripping survival thriller, starring Grace Caroline Currey and Virginia Gardner in a high-stakes, adrenaline-fueled...
Don't waste your time. Per usual, any Hollywood movie based on a small town will be incredibly racist in its portrayal of Southern whites. With โ of course โ no sense of irony or self awareness in regard to its blatant hypocrisy as it spouts off platitudes about the horrors of small minded bigots.
I can hang with the stupid Southerner trope even though it's been done to death. Not...
The white protagonist is a fumbling pansy, but that's his character as the geeky scientist trope. Definitely easy to ignore and not get too annoyed by. There were a couple scenes and lines in there about a woman being strong and tough, while making the white men seem like threatened bigots blind to how badass chicks can be. โ_โ But that is also to be expected. Just a cheesy family flick, so don't...
Meh. Pretty entertaining so if you want to pay for it you can. It's what you'd expect a buddy cop sequel to be. I gave it gay ratings only because they made fun of a flamboyantly gay stereotype. Not PC at all, and no pro gay agenda. As for the other ratings, one could argue that Jackie and Chris are affirmative action hires right off the bat, and the movie is full of non whites. So it should get 5/5....
This was a pretty great film. Not gonna' lie. It's just sad that we can't have these same themes in movies lead by white people and about my nation. One of the most popular animated movies (worldwide) was "Frozen" but the themes weren't about the importance of familia, respecting your ancestors, unity, patriarchy, etc. like "Coco" was. Instead, if we're lucky enough to get blue eyed blondes as leads...
ย Cute family movie. There are lots of broken homes in the plot, but it's just for easy sympathy points from the audience. I didn't sense any agenda being pushed in this regard; the father figures were all respectable men. Another really refreshing theme (perhaps unintentional) was showing how the education system has failed boys. Without any spoilers, the protagonist has trouble in school and spaces...
This one is a bit tricky:
โย It was produced by J.J. Abrams.
โ ย They didn't make Captain Kirk a black midget trans woman.
โย It was directed by a Taiwanese-American and funded by a Chinese company.
โ ย But in catering to a traditional Chinese audience they cut out a gay kiss.
โย They added some cheesy "empowered" female characters showing men how it's done.
โ ย They...

Funny mindless entertainment and no insane agenda shoved in. Although, I did notice a trend among all three films. It was something I never noticed growing up, and may seem unimportant even...
Pretty great film. I had never seen it before but always love the idea of angels and demons. Yokai anime are my favorite and other Hollywood movies about ghosts or angels are in my top 10. So I am a bit biased. Very fascinating to see Nicholas Cage not be crazy for once, but he's just so friendly and kind that he is creepy so two sides of the same coin I guess...
ย Anyways, I would...
