ForTheMostPart1999

While the concept of Dia De Los Muertos in an animated film has been done before, Pixar as usual shines in on this one as another unique and original tale that shows how family traditions can change and also how music can inspire rather than ignore and how it can be used to create, rather than steal. I'm just a tad disappointed that the studio made it look like they "borrowed" the other film's concept (The Book of Life), yet they still know how to make it fresh enough for even the most skeptic. This one is especially a recent highlight for Pixar knowing that plenty of sequels are being/have been produced before and after this one. I do hope they continue to make original enough concepts in the near future. Overall, this film was fairly straightforward, yet complex enough to keep the audience thinking and for those unpredictable moments.

I did not expect Stewart to have such a major role. After Days of Future Past, I thought he was finished with X-Men movies. Jackman still has it as the classic mutant in this final chapter of his character, even after almost 17 years since he appeared in the first Marvel X-Men film. Out of the films that star mainly him, this was probably the best (with the possible exception of Days of Future Past). Overall the film has quite the intense blade-to-blade action, yet still has its subtle dramatic moments and enough surprises to keep the audience stunned. It never really drags on much, even for a film that's almost 2 hrs and 20 min. Long.
