An entertaining movie that is not excellent, but has its essence, questionable negative points, and still delivers.
"JLA Adventures: Trapped in Time" is a super simple proposal for the little ones at home, but it is also enjoyable for fans of DC animated films, with a sustainable premise that has shortcomings due to various scenes that take you out of context because of certain arguments that were not taken into consideration. However, despite this, it offered attractive moments. "Trapped in Time" is a super simple offering for the little ones at home, but it is also enjoyable for fans of DC animated films, with a sustainable premise that has shortcomings due to various scenes that take you out of context because certain arguments were not taken into consideration, but despite that, it provided attractive moments. This movie is a rollercoaster of emotions because you might not like it or simply let it pass by to find something that catches your attention.
Regarding the animation, I think it has its advantages and disadvantages, as the movement sequences, color tones, action sequences, and some character designs are decent, making it coherent for a small production like this. However, the focus on many of the characters' faces is debatable. Many of them are not well drawn or were done in a very strange manner, which can slightly diminish the experience.
It should also be added that the movie does not escape the conventional, the neglect of each hero or villain's abilities by the script, the forced comedy, the scenes that make no sense at all, the excessive addition of characters, and perhaps small plot holes that have no answers.
In that sense, I think it's valid or fun to see many of your heroes fight their enemies, watching them work together (even if it's a little) and contributing something more to the animated films.
Lex Luthor will always be a great villain, even though sometimes he forgets how intelligent he is. I must highlight the action scenes of Karate Kid. The plots involving time travel and its consequences always catch attention.

The movie is a compilation of 3 specials or OVAs from the saga, adding small details that change the perspective of what was previously seen. However, it earns its merit in providing a summary.
"Digimon: The Movie" is the compilation of three previous installments with slight changes in the dubbing, story, or plot, thus arguing the connection that exists between each of them and the importance that lies in the iconic characters of the Digimon franchise. "The Movie" is the compilation of three past installments with slight changes in the dubbing, story, or plot, thus arguing the connection that exists between each of them and the importance that lies in the iconic characters of the Digimon franchise.
It's a movie that works well as long as you haven't seen the previous three products, as those small differences can throw you off track. Moreover, there are various plot holes that are not explained and remain open, failing to provide the necessary context for better understanding. However, that doesn't mean it isn't worth attending; in fact, it has its merits.
The film by Fox Kids has an addition of entertaining songs in various emotional scenes, of shock, sadness, or personal growth, which do not complement what is seen on screen; in fact, they do not establish any connection or coherence with what is being conveyed, diminishing the epicness of the moment. That is why I mention all of the above.
On the other hand, being a compilation, it is more than evident that they are three different products due to the change in animation, aesthetics, and overall design, bewildering the viewers, and I mean those who usually notice details.
Despite this, the goal of nostalgia was achieved. It can also be mentioned that this serves to remind us that there are underrated productions in the Digimon saga, which, interestingly, have little difference in their release dates.
From my perspective, by cutting important details from each plot, adding different dialogues due to their translations, placing unnecessary songs in significant moments, and not providing the fundamental context to the entire summary, it detracts a lot from the experience. Nevertheless, it passes just enough for merit's sake.

A two-part movie that has entertaining moments, shortcomings in its script, and acceptable animation. It meets the entertainment value.
Digimon Adventure 02: Hurricane Touchdown! ¡Evolución Suprema! "The Golden Digimentals" is a proposal that enhances the growth of some characters in the franchise, but it is not considered excellent compared to its predecessors. However, it holds its importance within the chronology due to certain details that drive the entire plot of this film.
However, it should be mentioned that the movie has an improvement in animation quality. It has a character design, overall drawing, and color tone with a more formidable execution. Everything related to the plot is simple, not impactful, but it serves its purpose. Shigeyasu Yamauchi knows how to deliver entertaining specials or movies for fans of different franchises.
Now, this production does not escape the conventions that the Digimon universe has accustomed us to, once again resorting to those messages of reflection and emotional growth of the characters. The premise repeats itself. Even so, for entertainment purposes, it's fine.
From my perspective, it could have been much better, adding some nuances filled with surprises, more impactful scenes, and maintaining that sense of danger. The movie is more relevant on the comedic side, though it does have moments with significant lines that encourage the viewer to reflect. Covering themes such as friendship, teamwork, loneliness, whims, bottlenecks, mental blocks, negativity, and lack of acceptance focused on the support of the people around you, they are executed in an acceptable manner. Without a doubt, Terriermon steals the show.
If you're a Digimon fan, you'll have a great time; if not, give it a chance.

An entertaining OVA that complements and adds new characters to the franchise. With interesting reflective themes and variable animation in many scenes.
"Digimon Adventure: Our War Game" is a pleasant experience for fans of the saga, adding a bit more to the story and leaving unforgettable moments. "Our War Game" is a pleasant experience for fans of the saga, complementing the story a bit more and leaving unforgettable moments. With just 40 minutes, it creates an atmosphere of intrigue about the events involving the new villain, the relationship of the chosen children, and the overall development of the plot. Being very energetic, yet simple, it is clear that it is not excellent, but for what it conveys, it fulfills its purpose.
It should be mentioned that this short film escapes conventionalities, but it's Digimon, what more can you expect? However, it opens an interesting window of reflection on friendship, strong bonds, and the connection between Digimon and their chosen ones. Mamoru Hosoda once again delivers an efficient product.
Speaking of continuity, the OVA provides a solid plot and entertains the viewer. Now then, among its negative points, its animation can be mentioned, which is variable and changes considerably. It is evident that all the effort was left for the final scenes, where we have visually stunning action moments. The sequences of movements, the change in color tones due to the digital focus, and the drawing are very remarkable.
However, the animation in the main scenes is very simple, leaving the design of the characters or the drawings of our protagonists with many details in their environments, where the edges are very irregular and lacking better execution. So, it's variable because if we talk about the environments in general, they fulfill their function.
The music of Digimon always complements its stories greatly, raising expectations and providing emotions to its audience. On the other hand, I must mention how epic it is to see Wargreymon and Omegamon on screen, what memorable characters they are.
Without a doubt, "Digimon Adventure: "Our War Game" deserves the opportunity. For many, it is considered one of the OVAs of the saga.

An engaging short film due to its theme, animation, and play of mixed emotions, providing an important social critique about animals.
"Birdsong" is a small experience that tries to give you a different perspective on the love for animals, specifically birds, where it takes you through a simple yet convincing, moving, and deeply reflective story. Michelle Cheng did an outstanding job, reflecting her potential and her great talent for the genre.
Among its positives, the short film features striking, unique animation that captivates the viewer, all thanks to its distinctive way of incorporating symbols and geometric figures in specific scenes that are pleasant to watch. On the other hand, the color tones go hand in hand with the message that is intended to be conveyed, reflecting feelings of peace, joy, but above all "life." There are very energetic colors to complement the plot. Moreover, the sound and the musical score help considerably.
The way James Cheek does his voice work is incredible. Very solid, believable, and well-coordinated. On the other hand, establishing the sounds of the bird in question is formidable.
Within his reflective messages, topics such as extinction, love for birds, concern, the innocence of animals, the role birds play on the planet, fulfilling your dreams, life, death, the beauty of nature, hope, and resilience are covered. It should also be highlighted the importance of the few words.
Without a doubt, it is an emotional short film, with good animation and an interesting reflection; however, for many viewers, it can be somewhat boring, either due to the lack of context or more information. Even so, it deserves a chance.

An impressive movie for its premise, cinematographic aspects, and formidable execution. It is a complete experience of science fiction and interesting metaphors.
"Ex Machina" is a phenomenal proposal, it has a captivating rhythm and atmosphere that with each scene argues its context more and takes you on that roller coaster of intrigue and suspense of what might happen. Alex Garland did a spectacular job, his script and direction are on another level. It's a striking, authentic, solid film with more than interesting reflective themes about the world of technology, artificial intelligences, and human behavior towards them.
Its entire premise has great successes that establish it as one of the best releases of that year. Its camera angles, editing, production design, cinematography, special effects, and scoring are executed well. They complement each other in such a way that the experience is unique, even visually it is incredible.
Another positive aspect of the movie is its cast. The essence, originality, charisma, performance, and potential of each one of them is very remarkable. Domhnall Gleeson is perfect for his role, his expressions, movements, and voice tone are excellent. On the other hand, Alicia Vikander is a great surprise, what she conveys is unique. Oscar Isaac has that quality of impressive versatility, his aura is brutal. Each one of them deserves applause.
However, the film does not escape certain irregularities, conventionalism, and/or lack of impact for brief moments. Perhaps there are some scenes that are too long or could have been better executed, especially in the final plot. Even so, it does not detract from all the aforementioned merits.
Within his reflections, we can find themes such as trust, the limits of human beings in relation to technology, the use of artificial intelligences, personal goals, deception, loneliness, innocence, among others. There is also a metaphor that refers to God, Adam, and Eve. All of this with the purpose of conveying the narrative context between both stories.

A movie that tries to be great, but falls short due to that lack of impact with everything the MCU represents. It can be entertaining, but it lacked better execution.
"Captain America: "Brave New World" really seems more like a sequel to the 2008 film "The Incredible Hulk" than to the legacy of Captain America, adding all that focus which may not be entirely correct. Moreover, it praises the miniseries "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier" for everything that happened in its episodes. However, the simplicity and conventionality make this movie very predictable and/or unoriginal. It seems more like an episode of a series than a full movie. Its script is quite debatable.
This fourth installment has some positive points, but the negatives are abundant throughout. However, it is better than other MCU movies depending on the viewers' perspective.
From my perspective, it is a sequel that doesn't add much to this universe; even its own name feels too grand for the entire narrative it presents. Perhaps a more fitting or conventional title for the plot would have been more acceptable.
Among its positive points, I could highlight to some extent that the 2008 Hulk film has not been forgotten, adding Harrison Ford's performance, which somewhat fulfills. Being able to see Red Hulk on the big screen is a good experience for Marvel fans and the character. We have a few scenes with good transitions and decent effects.
Anthony Mackie brings his style as the new Cap, and his role as Sam Wilson is good, very similar to the comics, but it still lacks better development to make the character something epic for the general audience. I could say that in several scenes he feels very flat and unexpressive compared to other appearances within the MCU. Still, he has his great merit.
"Captain America: Brave New World" has a great waste of characters and performances from high-quality actors, giving them secondary roles where they don't fully stand out. "Brave New World" has a great waste of characters and performances from high-quality actors, giving them secondary roles where they don't stand out at all. We have the case of Giancarlo Esposito, who more than a typical cap villain, is forgotten once you finish the film. On the other hand, the return of Tim Blake Nelson as The Leader, which without a doubt, is a waste of a villain, one of the worst things in this movie.
The special effects in this movie are not the best, the lack of rendering, adjustments, and more is very evident. Very unbelievable for the large amount of money the production cost. Once again, Marvel is making headlines with the CGI. We have shots where the green screen even detracts from the actors' appearance and appreciation.
The movie covers thought-provoking themes such as responsibility, legacy, revenge, teamwork, friendship, learning, among others.
However, it barely passes because there are small things that are interesting to me. Seeing Isaiah Bradley and Joaquin Torres again is entertaining.
What a scene our friend Bucky gives us. The best part of the movie, no matter how simple it may seem.

A movie that complements this universe and works from an entertainment perspective, adding a bit more to the story and adventures of Geralt of Rivia.
"The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep" is a pleasant experience, due to its proposal and narrative context. "Sirens of the Deep" is a pleasant experience, due to its proposal and narrative context. An adventure for those fans of the franchise for everything this story represents in relation to the live-action series. Netflix continues to add content to a saga that holds significant weight within the geek world.
The film, from an animation standpoint, fulfills its merit, delivering well-crafted scenes with a simple yet well-executed level of detail. Adding a palette of striking or muted colors for contrast with the environments, the characters' emotions, the creatures present, the characteristic focus of each character, and their representation within the plot. There are well-executed sequences of fights, action, and chases, of course not at an excellent level, but being a film directed for a platform, it looks quite pleasant.
In its script section, I think it could have been better. Being written by three people, you expect a groundbreaking movie given everything seen before in this universe. However, despite having its elevated moments, it considerably diminishes at times due to very conventional moments or dialogues, detracting from the importance of those interesting characters.
On the other hand, it should be noted the amount of thought-provoking messages the movie contains, where covering important topics adds a lot from my perspective. Although it is animation, that narrative context enhances the experience, giving a twist to the entire plot in general. We have reflections on teamwork, personal growth, love, deception, family bonds, envy, past traumas, emotional connections, truth before justice, ignorance, dual personalities, and how evil pulls its strings from the shadows.
"The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep" is an entertaining animated film that could have lived up to its predecessor, but it has pleasant moments and action sequences.

Adding more to the continuity of the saga. Highlighting the quality of their voice performances.

A short film that covers very interesting reflective themes due to the personal ideals presented by our protagonist, showcasing a solid cinematic execution that dazzles at all times. "Cope" quickly connects you with the story and immerses you in a whirlwind of mixed emotions.
Director Anthony Sutcliffe does a remarkable job in the cinematic aspect as a screenwriter, tackling a sustainable narrative that allows the viewer's understanding to be free. Each camera angle, transition, sequence, atmosphere, among others, are executed well. Adding a very entertaining visual quality to the short film.
"Cope" covers very important reflective themes that are common in people who face their present, stay, or experience in this world. Reflecting on the differences that exist among human beings regarding reality and their daily functions. Topics such as insecurity, thoughts of death, mental illnesses, traumas, the tendency to run away from problems, responsibility, couple communication, loneliness, secrets, and pretending to be fine in front of everyone around you are portrayed on screen in an excellent manner.
In addition to that, the great performance by Nick Hendrix as Liam. Where he brings an incredible performance through his expressions, movements in front of the camera, the way he conveys his feelings, and that talent for transmitting his personal problems. A role that has more relevance in the real world than we think.
In its technical aspects, I can undoubtedly highlight its soundtrack, cinematography, sounds, costumes, staging, and that simplicity that it offers and maintains as the scenes progress. This short film has countless outstanding reflections that the director leaves on the table for further theories.
In its negative aspects, we find a lack of depth in the main character, that is, some event that surprises the viewer in all its splendor to increase their emotional impact, in order to elevate the experience and achieve a striking conclusion. All of this is because it feels rushed for a story with the necessary potential to surprise.
"Cope" is worth it as long as you like the drama genre and personal stories with which you can identify.

A moving, special, and very surprising short film due to its great love story. It stands out at all times for its execution and the solidity of its narrative, keeping the viewer hooked from the very beginning. They are 4 minutes that are worth it without a doubt.
"Today I Fell in Love" encompasses a formidable foundation in every second seen on screen, whether it be from its musical score, cinematography, costumes, editing, settings, staging, script, or performances. This short film takes us on an emotional rollercoaster where you easily connect, with an interesting yet well-executed simplicity. Grant Steller's musical work is brilliant.
Jesse Foy has surprised with his great film talent. He applies camera angles in an exceptional way, capturing and conveying different emotions according to the context of the scenes. It demonstrates the importance of each environment and what they mean to each character, making something simple very formidable. The 4:3 aspect ratio is a marvel.
In the acting department, John and Wanda Rushing are excellent. A couple that conveys in all its splendor the connection, love, and feelings that can exist. Actors who, from my perspective, convince and complement the story with their expressions and naturalness.
The short film covers reflective themes such as true love, the daily struggle to win over your partner, adversities, the importance of photographs, consistency, respect, responsibility, care, and how small gestures hold great significance in the sentimental aspect.
It reminded me of the movie "The Notebook."
"Today I Fell in Love" is worth it as long as you're a fan of the romance genre. Little gem!
"Today I Fell in Love" encompasses a formidable foundation in every second seen on screen, whether it be from its musical score, cinematography, costumes, editing, settings, staging, script, or performances. This short film takes us on an emotional rollercoaster where you easily connect, with an interesting yet well-executed simplicity. Grant Steller's musical work is brilliant.
Jesse Foy has surprised with his great film talent. He applies camera angles in an exceptional way, capturing and conveying different emotions according to the context of the scenes.

An Argentine short film that is quite entertaining due to its comedy, thought-provoking messages, editing, songs, and a strong critique of the current music industry. It's formidable because of that great variety of images.
"PAPOTA" is a unique experience because it surprises at every moment with its comedic essence, which is quite entertaining due to its execution. CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso are really good, to be honest. Making this short film to promote their EP and offering much more in the cinematic aspect gives a lot to talk about positively.
In my experience, this is enjoyable, but if you look at it from a constructive perspective with very clear messages to highlight, it's even better. "PAPOTA" takes you on that roller coaster of scenarios within today's music careers, where both the positive and negative points are highlighted, with much emphasis on the latter.
Constructive criticism deserves applause. It's like capturing all that energy of a music video through its sequences of images, cuts, environments, focuses, and more, but with a special addition from the protagonists. Director Martín Piroyansky shines in every moment. He adds a very entertaining cinematic potential; each way of emphasizing various characteristics for each character is crucial to the overall context.
Cover topics such as songwriting, an artist's image, the ease of creating a song, awards, controversies, social media, substances, the rise to fame, differences in ideals, criticism towards representatives and music companies, the use of artificial intelligence, and above all, the lack of traditional talent among artists from an urban perspective. Brilliant.
In the musical section, sensational. The songs are very catchy and complement the actions seen on screen just right, adding depth and solidity. The songs in this short film make more sense than those heard in Emilia Pérez's movie. To think about.
Good comedy, good sequences, great proposal, entertaining songs, and it definitely deserves a chance.

An anime that started off very well, but lost weight or credibility as the episodes went on. I emphasize everything related to the continuity of the story and those loose ends left at the end. At that point, the anime has both very positive things and other very poorly executed negative ones, especially in small pieces of information added to the Dragon Ball lore.
Even so, Daima, with just 20 episodes, gives fans of the franchise a good taste depending on the context, the lore, transformations, and new characters. Thus, a fun, entertaining, and possibly epic experience for many. The Dragon Ball fanbase should have a good experience.
Among its most positive points, I must highlight that great animation; the dedication and effort from Toei Animation are evident. Comparing it to Dragon Ball Super, the results speak for themselves. The entire soundtrack section should also be mentioned; the scores, the opening, and the ending are great. The color palette, the sequence of movements, the line work, and other technical aspects are well executed. The character design is quite decent, the author's essence is captured in every scene.
Dragon Ball Daima started with a spectacular first episode, being quite enjoyable after so many years and considering that this was the last work of the great Akira Toriyama. The mangaka provided a great gift for all his fans with many details seen in the episodes, but left many with various questions; we'll have to wait to see how they resolve all of that.
In its negative points, we find the addition of a few subplots that don't contribute much to the story, lengthening the episodes and, at times, ruining legendary details from past sagas. There are many unexpected twists that lack a solid argument, but this is Dragon Ball and it can be "understood" in a way. In the end, it was all because a wizard did it, and yes, there's a lot of weight in that.
The most visually attractive, detailed, and beautiful transformations lose a lot of importance, but it all depends on your experience. We have memorable characters, others who are all talk, others who are completely broken, and then there are those who don't add much at all.
Dragon Ball Daima, from my perspective, started off excellent and gradually declined. Even so, it is entertaining and deserves a chance. It could have been a great saga, but it has details that divide opinions.

A short film that surprises with its national essence, the nostalgia, and the memories conveyed by the singer Bad Bunny. Giving a striking story as long as you are aware of the current status of Puerto Rico. Start 2025 in a remarkable way and this will help his new album.
The perspective that the short film possesses is of great importance due to the very clear message it conveys, encompassing controversial topics and that alertness from those involved to exalt their land. "DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS" has very solid technical aspects that complement each other as the scenes progress. The camera angles, the locations, the color tones, the character tracking, the staging related to the theme, and the musicalization.
Within the performances, Jacobo Morales does it in an excellent manner. His trajectory, quality, and level are evident in every second. The actor's calmness or fluidity is so good that what is seen within those 13 minutes seems natural. Jacobo Morales conveys each of the emotions reflected throughout the entire narrative arc of the short film. On the other hand, Kenneth Canales as Concho focuses more on comedy and succeeds in portraying a very peculiar and interesting character for the story.
The references to Benito's previous music videos, Puerto Rican arts, locations, songs, culture, towns, people, objects, and more add a lot to this production. Everything together places its influence on each of the viewers.
In the animation section where the character Concho is immersed, the work is well done, despite the use of the stop motion style which has its merit. However, it could have been better to achieve better rendering or movement fluidity by creating sequences more in line with small moments.
The short film covers reflective themes such as nationality, memories, gentrification, lack of empathy, kindness, sharing, good times, the importance of photographs over time, new generations, culture, sense of belonging, and friendship.
From another point of view, the story might lead you to think that the character of Concho is imaginary, but it will all depend on your analysis. Adding to that, it is also a species that is endangered in that country.

It's an attractive movie with an interesting premise, some strong themes, but visually entertaining due to its visual effects.
"Hollow Man" is a daring proposal due to controversial themes that are very explicit on screen, but it still fulfills its purpose, providing a social critique on power and double identities. The film takes you through an atmosphere of intrigue, science fiction, and a bit of suspense due to the actions of our protagonist. Without a doubt, the most remarkable aspect is its special effects, dazzling with their excellent quality and level of detail in every scene.
Director Paul Verhoeven applied his potential and excelled in a film that has aged well. Very interesting camera angles were added, whether in chases, close-ups, or the environments seen in key scenes.
"Hollow Man" has a sustainable script, but not perfect. It gets lost as the minutes go by and leaves much to be desired, wasting the potential that could have been more than incredible. It has unnecessary additions that don't contribute anything to the plot, but they provide another perspective on the protagonist's peaks, an important point because that's where the viewers' experience diverges.
The musical score, cinematography, editing, staging, and production design are decent, they meet expectations. However, the film is more than recognized for its great special effects, which dazzle in many crucial scenes. The creativity, the detail, and that realism of transformation are excellent. Of course, in its final sequences, the good work is somewhat lost.
Within the performances, Kevin Bacon does well; from my perspective, the actor fulfills his character in every sense. His expressions, tone of voice, and characteristics that make for a deranged role have their merit. On the other hand, we have Josh Brolin playing a counterpart of ideals, and it's not bad at all. The actress Elisabeth Shue has standout scenes, others forced, but she maintains that poise; she is undoubtedly a beauty.
The film covers reflective themes such as infidelity, acceptance, dual personalities, the loss of sanity, the sense of belonging, lust, the atrocities that humans can commit when they gain power, professional ethics, corruption, the consequences of science, and also makes a metaphor about morality.
It is important to mention that it does not escape the conventional, absurd moments, nonsensical parts, plot holes, and continuity errors. Even so, the movie is entertaining.

A movie with no motivation whatsoever that adds nothing to the genre, being very predictable, flat, and mediocre in its entire premise.
"Red Stone" is a completely boring proposal, as it loses itself with each scene or absurd moments where credibility is not an option, a method, or an alternative. I have no doubt that the viewer loses the slightest interest in finishing this film. She herself tries to be great, but the result is unfavorable.
Director Derek Presley delivered a terrible execution, leaving many loose ends and very meager filming sequences that fail to make an impact at any moment. That constant attempt to add different approaches in each scene is negative and counterproductive.
The movie has a simple concept, but through its executions, it loses the "interest," and they don't accompany it either. Perhaps with better concepts, the experience would be "a little better," but it should be mentioned that both the cinematic execution and the performances are very weak.
Neal McDonough (Boon) has a terrible performance, and from my perspective, he is the one who does it best. The actor doesn't save the movie, nor does he deserve this. That role of personal conflicts, mental lapses, redemption, they didn't quite hit the mark. Totally wasted.
Now, Michael Cudlitz as Jed Haywood is a total madness from the negative perspective. It's incredible how much his acting level declines. It doesn't contribute anything interesting, and it's simply one of the worst things the film can have. Super debatable.
"Red Stone" has a flat script, its narrative arguments are glaringly absent, it contains a great deal of nonsense, plot holes, continuity errors, and poorly choreographed action scenes (written with kid gloves) and undoubtedly does not convey its reflective messages well. Convenience is present at all times.

An entertaining OVA with a lot of science fiction essence and a cyberpunk style, offering an interesting premise and a predominant social critique.
"Black Magic M-66" is a pleasant experience within the world of anime that, in just 48 minutes, immerses us in a story of action, chase, survival, and a lot of technology. The short film focuses on demonstrating the characterization and importance of technological advancement, as well as its impact on society. The directors Shirow Masamune and Hiroyuki Kitakubo had their idea more than clear, having the opportunity to adapt this story and revolutionize anime, since one of them gifted us the universe of "Ghost in the Shell."
The musicalization is interesting, it has that 80s and classic signature of many works from those years. The sound is very efficient and the animation in general is well done, with a polished level of detail even better than current animes, of course, considering the resources used. The character design, the movement sequences, the line work, and the color tones, from my perspective, meet expectations.
Now then, "Black Magic M-66" could undoubtedly have been much better, whether in its script or more impactful scenes, by adding plot twists or any unforgettable event. However, it does have its great merit and for many anime fans, it can be a gem.
In his reflective messages, we have topics such as survival, love for work, skill, the importance of covering information from a journalistic perspective, problem situation analysis, the effect and/or consequences of technological developments, trust, teamwork, among others.
"Black Magic M-66" is an OVA with which you can easily make a direct connection to other products related to robots, androids, and action moments. For example, "The Terminator," "Ghost in the Shell," "Alita: Battle Angel," and many more.

A movie without much sense, rushed, lacking solid arguments, but entertaining. It has an energy that makes it acceptable.
"Karate Kid: Legends" is an interesting, fun, popcorn flick, but it doesn't stand out on a grand scale, becoming very predictable and not adding anything different to the saga. "Legends" is an interesting, fun, popcorn flick, but it doesn't stand out on a grand scale, becoming very predictable and not adding anything different to the saga. Once again, the same premise from the first installments is taken, but without the emotional, impactful, or moving factor. The movie takes you through that youthful story, with communication problems and personal growth, although the latter point is questionable due to the protagonist's already lacking skills.
Director Jonathan Entwistle did a decent job, with the particularity of filming attractively in specific scenes, where the energy and good action sequences are appreciated, although there is also a large number of cuts in the rest of the fight moments, which results in little appreciation.
Within the performances, Ben Wang is very good, he fulfills his role. The actor captures a lot of essence from another cast member, and you'll notice that he himself performed one of the best scenes, referring to acrobatics and combat skills, adding a lot to the movie. On the other hand, we have the addition of Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio, where it is truly incredible to see them together on screen, but their roles are based on unnecessary comedy and are completely wasted. They really don't contribute anything beyond forced moments. Sadie Stanley is a beautiful woman.
"Karate Kid: Legends" has the entertainment factor well implemented, but if you try to analyze it deeply, you'll find many plot holes, conventional narrative contexts, forced moments, and a rushed resolution of the overall plot. "Legends" has the entertainment factor well implemented, but if you try to analyze it deeply, you'll find many plot holes, conventional narrative contexts, forced moments, and a rushed resolution of the overall plot. Moreover, time is wasted on subplots that are more relevant than the main theme. The title of the movie is much too grand for what is seen on screen. It can also be added that the most important act flies by and is not appreciated objectively, not to mention its ending.
However, it is an entertaining film that you can enjoy very much. Popcorn entertainment in every sense, but with better execution and script, it could have been much better. And no, it's not better than Cobra Kai.
What William Zabka is doing is outrageous. Always epic.
5.5/10.

A completely unnecessary, boring, flat sequel with no character development. It's a colossal step back and doesn't bring anything interesting to the genre.
"The Old Guard 2" is a waste of a story that has a lot of juice to squeeze, yet it is set aside to add unnecessary drama and elongated scenes with a lot of dialogue that has absolutely no relevance. Not to mention the lack of creativity, everything related to the conventional, and each of its executions. Thus, a very unfavorable sequel. Director Victoria Mahoney makes her debut, and unfortunately, it wasn't the best.
All the action sequences are quite mediocre and none stand out. The special effects are very meager, the plot is predictable, the lighting and other cinematic aspects are quite weak. Like its predecessor, the musical score does not stand out. The script is one of the simplest things this sequel has, with many nonsensical elements, plot holes, and it should also be mentioned that the continuity errors are very evident.
Within the performances, there is nothing memorable; the cast, despite being of high quality, is not supported by the script, nor is there any connection between them, and honestly, it's quite tedious to watch them in action. Charlize Theron, on this occasion, does nothing more than put her face on screen. The waste of the cast is immense. Chiwetel Ejiofor's performance is debatable once again, please. We also have Uma Thurman, what a shame to waste talent.
Despite this, the movie adds some reflective themes that can "stand out," such as redemption, revenge, teamwork, strategies, reunions, the past, excuses, and false promises. Of course, this should be taken with a grain of salt.
Another important point to mention is about regeneration, which at times is accelerated and at others very slow, always depending on the situation and the conventions of its script.
We have one of the most incoherent endings of the year. Fatal.

An incredible movie for all its creativity, approach, and overall execution. Capturing the concept of the superhero was a marvel.
"Superman: The Movie" is a unique experience for fans of the character and superhero cinema. The Movie" is a unique experience for fans of the character and superhero cinema. Everything that is seen on screen is a beauty. The essence, characteristics, aura, and feelings of the Kryptonian are worthy of applause. Director Richard Donner was sensational; all his work, focus, and camera handling are incredible. Without a doubt, he was able to demonstrate on a grand scale the importance of Superman and what he means to the audience.
The movie takes you through different stages of the character where his growth is explored, which from my perspective is a great success. Being able to reflect important moments from Krypton, Smallville, and Metropolis adds a lot to the experience, providing that solid narrative argument that a superhero like this deserves, thus changing the perspective of this type of cinema.
Christopher Reeve is the best portrayal of the alien seen on screen. I have no doubt that by those years a large percentage of the audience believed it. His essence, expression, change of pace, development, versatility, aura, and personification are out of this world. The transition from Superman to Clark Kent is brilliant. On the other hand, the beginning of the romance with Lois Lane was depicted, which complements the story.
One of the most notable aspects of the film is the score by John Williams. A phenomenal, transcendental, epic, and historic work. The melody of the main theme is a true gem. It ages with even better quality each time. Other points such as the cinematography, the costumes, the editing, and the special effects should also be highlighted. Considering that for its time they were brilliant and nowadays many of them look decent. The essence of making you believe that a man can fly was effective.
Among its negative points, we can mention some interpretations that were not up to par or could have been executed better. We have the case of the character Lex Luthor, who has a more comedic role and does not have the impact he should, in addition to the characters around him fostering the same comedy. There are also characters that could have contributed more, like the Kents, but the Kryptonian-focused era is understandable.

The movie takes you through different stages of the character where his growth is explored, which from my perspective is a great success. Being able to reflect important moments from Krypton, Smallville, and Metropolis adds a lot to the experience, providing that solid narrative argument that a superhero like this deserves, thus changing the perspective of this type of cinema.
Christopher Reeve is the best portrayal of the alien seen on screen. I have no doubt that by those years a large percentage of the audience believed it. His essence, expression, change of pace, development, versatility, aura, and personification are out of this world. The transition from Superman to Clark Kent is brilliant. On the other hand, the beginning of the romance with Lois Lane was depicted, which complements the story.
One of the most notable aspects of the film is the score by John Williams. A phenomenal, transcendental, epic, and historic work. The melody of the main theme is a true gem. It ages with even better quality each time. Other points such as the cinematography, the costumes, the editing, and the special effects should also be highlighted. Considering that for its time they were brilliant and nowadays many of them look decent. The essence of making you believe that a man can fly was effective.
Among its negative points, we can mention some interpretations that were not up to par or could have been executed better. We have the case of the character Lex Luthor, who has a more comedic role and does not have the impact he should, in addition to the characters around him fostering the same comedy. There are also characters that could have contributed more, like the Kents, but the Kryptonian-focused era is understandable.
7.5/10.
A movie that promised a lot due to its premise and adaptation, however, it left much to be desired with unnecessary additions. I remembered it better.
"The Old Guard" is an interesting, entertaining, and fun proposal due to its action scenes and good filming technique, but it doesn't fully exploit that potential due to poor execution regarding its script. All of this lies in the way action, fiction, and drama are attempted to be added, diminishing the experience or losing the viewer's connection. The film starts off decently, but it loses its way with each scene. We have many plot holes, continuity errors, and unconventional moments.
Director Gina Prince-Bythewood did a decent job, with a way of applying camera angles and cuts in the action scenes that visually deliver. It's a shame that other aspects didn't quite match up.
The musicalization is executed in a completely different environment from that of the movie, it does not establish any connection with what is being conveyed and is inappropriate in many moments. An attempt to appear modern, but it is wasted.
Within the performances, there are several details that do not add to the experience, as there are quite mediocre actors or those who simply do not contribute anything more outstanding, considering that the script is not very favorable for many of them. However, from my perspective, Charlize Theron delivers; she is the one who holds the film together. The performances of Harry Melling, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and KiKi Layne are completely debatable, very meager.
"The Old Guard" could undoubtedly have been a very good action movie, but it got lost along the way. Perhaps with improvements in its execution, this could be more than entertaining. However, it has funny moments that stand out on the big screen.

A spin-off that complements the franchise and stands out on its own merit to deliver the required impact. It has entertaining and fun action.
"Ballerina" is an interesting installment, especially because of the saga it shares, where we have pure and well-crafted action. However, the film comes to contribute a bit and place its creative stamp to offer pleasant moments. It is a movie that works in terms of action, energy, and adrenaline, but it is not entirely excellent, as it relies on certain details that it cannot achieve on its own. Even so, it is entertaining and fulfills its purpose.
Director Len Wiseman delivers a quite decent performance, even managing to surprise at many moments, bringing that ingenuity to frantic scenes with good camera angles and cuts that don't bother the viewer. All that characteristic essence of the franchise is crafted well.
The film has interesting cinematic aspects, starting with the use of strong and striking colors that can even be seen in its poster. Additionally, it has a good handling of lighting and shadow play, playing an important role in key scenes. Everything related to the editing, staging, costumes, and battle choreography is quite decent.
In her performances, Ana de Armas delivers, does a pleasant job, and conveys good energy for what her character represents. A calculating person, with fear, mixed feelings, and a cold heart for the right moments.
An important aspect that can both elevate or diminish the film's foundation was the return of Keanu Reeves as John Wick, meaning the movie is entertaining, but it doesn't stand on its own; it needed the return of the main character from the saga to greatly excite both the audience and itself. However, Reeves does it incredibly again. What he conveys and creates for the movie is something else.
In terms of the script, the movie is indeed very weak; we only have a premise seen in many previous films. Death of parents, growth, training, and the quest for revenge, only with the addition that it belongs to the John Wick universe. Moreover, a sustainable narrative context is not explored in reference to our protagonist, being superficial and lacking details that could further complement her ideals.
On the other hand, there are moments where the movie showcases a good level of action from Eve, and others where the conventional and pyrrhic leave much to be desired. The script constantly increases and decreases the protagonist's abilities. Not to mention the underutilization of other characters who are played by great actors.
No, it's not up to the level of the previous movies, but it is entertaining in terms of action. Could it have been better? Totally.
Success in the tribute and farewell to actor Lance Reddick.

A surprising film that impresses with its approach, premise, and execution. It has a very remarkable atmosphere and cinematic aspects.
"Bring Her Back" is an effective proposal that solidly achieves its objective and manages to surprise any viewer. Its way of narrating events is subtly well-crafted, establishing a sustainable narrative argument and adding very outstanding reflective messages. It has intrigue, depth, horror, a bit of drama, and very striking scenes.
The directors Danny and Michael Philippou do an excellent job. Their camera work is visually appealing and reflects that great potential in films of this genre. The ability to bring their ingenuity is more than evident.
The film features outstanding cinematography, editing, script, musical score, costumes, staging, sound, makeup, effects, and performances. All complementing each other to provide a unique experience. The quality seen on screen is admirable.
From my perspective, Sally Hawkins steals the show with a performance that is more than efficient, productive, and effective for what the film represents. Her essence, expressions, and what she conveys in each scene are phenomenal. On the other hand, the impact Jonah Wren Phillips has as Oliver is incredible. Each shot is better than the last, keeping the viewer's tension and focus as they try to observe every detail related to him. Sora Wong has flashes of greatness and a spectacular final scene. Billy Barratt is very decent and fulfills his role.
Within the reflective messages, topics such as trauma from a family loss, fear, distrust, satanic pacts and their consequences, loss of sanity, double identities, sacrifice, emotional impact, self-love, lack of credibility in human beings, support, sibling relationships, child abuse, lies with a predetermined end, the mediocrity of security entities, and survival are covered.
"Bring Her Back" is a good movie that has a great impact and is one of the surprises of this year. You will definitely have a great time as long as you are a fan of the genre. It has its conventional moments, some nonsensical bits, but it's very remarkable despite everything.

A science fiction movie that had enormous potential but lost its way. Good special effects, entertaining moments, and a fatal ending.
"Splice" is an interesting proposal due to its premise and scientific arguments (for those fans of the subject) where DNA from various living beings is experimented with, along with a bunch of additions that can either disorient or entertain you. All of this, depending on your tastes. The movie takes you through various shades, some decent, but others fatal, as they have many details that minimize certain approaches within its narrative.
However, it can be said that so many details diminish the movie experience from a viewer's perspective. Director Vincenzo Natali did a coherent job from a cinematic perspective, but a chaotic one in terms of the script. It is important to mention that the potential of "Splice" is evident, but unfortunately, as the minutes went by, the essence and quality it had at the beginning were lost, because despite everything, it has a striking start.
The execution did not match this movie. The entire plot after the halfway point is a mess, with elements that are somewhat illogical or simply don't match the tone that was previously established. However, it is the theme that the film aims to convey, trying to encompass reflective messages and a strong social critique on the limits of human beings at various points.
Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley have a coherent performance, but Brody does well, he has some scenes where he convinces through the entire conflict and those captured expressions. Only the script didn't support them.
Covering topics such as lust, emotional turmoil, lack of communication, ingenuity, scientific advancements and their consequences, parenting, loss of sanity, immaturity, temptation, infidelity, denial, relationship problems, barriers to progress, among others, are depicted well.
The editing, special effects, creature designs, makeup, and practical effects are not bad at all; in fact, I think they save the movie. If it had had better ingenuity regarding its ending, "Splice" would have been a very good science fiction film.
What a scene Adrien Brody left us.

A movie that doesn't take itself too seriously, adding comedy and touches of suspense, but has a thoughtful message behind it. Good for some and mediocre for others.
"M3GAN" is a simple proposal that focuses on technology and the importance of parental care, featuring some funny moments and bringing its essence, which is referenced from other great characters in the film world, as if it were a mix of all of them. However, it has many cinematic details that are very poor or simply do not meet a notable quality. However, it will all depend on the viewer's expectations.
Director Gerard Johnstone did a decent job, providing several fun camera angles that look great. Of course, there are various aspects where it could have had more impact. Everything related to the editing, staging, and design of the M3GAN character is well-executed in a certain way.
From my perspective in the acting department, we have a significant disadvantage, with performances that are not very believable, exaggerated, and some forced. The performances of Allison Williams and Violet McGraw are debatable, although for what the movie conveys, it can be said that they "deliver."
Other aspects such as photography, costumes, makeup, and music, among others, do not stand out much, remaining simple.
It's a conventional, predictable, unbelievable movie with absurd moments. Not to mention the continuity errors and plot holes, but despite that, if you don't take it seriously, it can entertain you. Although I don't think it's the great movie that many say it is. It's only good for passing the time.
Their reflective messages are indeed present and hold great importance, although due to the focus on suspense, murders, and more, they may go unnoticed by many. Topics such as obsession, excessive use of technology, neglect, trauma from the loss of loved ones, manipulation, the proper use of artificial intelligence, work pressure, creativity, innocence, poor execution of parental control, among others, are covered.

A movie with enormous potential that got lost along the way, a premise very similar within the genre, but it has its positive points.
"Morgan" is a proposal with a lot of energy from the start and obvious similarities to other installments, but it adds its touch of action or frantic moments to try to impact the viewers, which it can achieve depending on personal taste or simply ruin the experience. The movie has a fun start and keeps the audience's expectations high about what will happen, however, as the scenes progress, it becomes very predictable and monotonous. Director Luke Scott makes every effort to bring a creative film under his father's guidance; however, he falls short.
The film has a high-level cast and full quality, but despite that, it feels underutilized and the script does not support them. Even so, some of them leave their mark and stand out at various moments. Anya Taylor-Joy is very good, she fulfills the function of her role, the intrigue, the mystery, and those changes in expressions. Who has surprised is Paul Giamatti, he has an incredible scene, what this actor conveys is something else. Toby Jones, Boyd Holbrook, and Michelle Yeoh are there, it's a shame the script doesn't do them justice.
Among the negative points, we first encounter Kate Mara, as she does not convey that convincing energy to the audience; she feels very forced, flat, and not credible. It is understood that her character is cold and calculating, but she tends to have the same expression all the time, debatable. On the other hand, the story does not progress with surprises, impacts, or brilliant scenes; it takes the path of simplicity, predictability, and the most conventional that can be seen. It's a movie that didn't take advantage of its potential, cast, and execution.
Many of its action scenes are not well received due to the excessive movement and cuts between them. Moreover, there are questionable situations that leave you pondering. The motivations of the characters, the good development, the continuity errors, the plot holes, and the lack of context are more than evident. And no, I'm not going to mention its ending.
It could undoubtedly have been better, it's a shame that it's just another run-of-the-mill movie that fails to stand out due to its mediocre execution. Even so, it has some entertaining moments and just barely passes because of those small gifts.
