Well, I very much enjoyed this!

It was fantastic to be back in a theater to watch a Star Wars movie!

I loved seeing a bunch of the characters from the show on the big screen. And the new characters were enjoyable. The movie is basically two parts and both were fun!

Some people say that it felt like two episodes of the show, and others felt like it was a movie. I agree that it did feel like two episodes. But I didn’t mind it. It also felt like a movie. The pacing worked well I think. Most of the scenes from the trailers seemed to come from the first half of the movie, so the most of the rest of the movie was new stuff.

The visuals were fantastic as expected and the sound and music were great! Some familiar music of course, and some new things that I enjoyed. And most of the locations were new, but there were a couple that we’ve been to before, and one that I don’t think we’ve seen on-screen before (ever?).

I did have fun with Din and Grogu on this adventure, but I still wish that LucasFilm had decided to make season 4 of the show. The scripts were all finished by the time we got the season 3 finale. They were ready to go for the next season and that all was abruptly halted. And who knows when we’ll see those stories play out. I would assume that movie that will eventually come that will connect all the shows that Dave Filoni made. But who knows how much they’ve had to restructure that since they don’t have the setup of that season 4. Though I think Ahsoka season 2 may have a lot of that stuff in it as a result. We’ll see next year.

But this movie was a fun ride! Certainly a movie to bring family and friends to watch together and just enjoy it all. And you really don’t need to know much to understand anything in the movie.

The obvious cameos are obvious to those who know the characters and actors, but they don’t take away from anything in the plot. For example, it’s been 21 (of our) years since we last saw Rotta on-screen, but that doesn’t change anything, it’s just fun to know for those who do.

Well, that was a fantastic movie!

I loved seeing the characters again. And the new ones were great too! the returning characters felt the same as when we first met them but also changed. And the new ones were refreshing.

The story was the expectedly twisty and turny. A couple things I saw coming but I was a bit late on others. The pacing was good, I felt the time in the theater, but since I was happy to be back in this world, I didn’t mind it at all. And there was one moment that I was so happy for and I did tear up from. Well deserved indeed.

There were times that the music was a bit overpowering, but it didn’t happen much.

There were of course many fashion cameos, only one of which I recognized. The same person that I recognized in the first movie, haha.

This was such an enjoyable movie. If you enjoyed the first one, then you will probably enjoy this too.

That was such a fun movie!

Saw it in RealD 3D. The visuals were fun in 3D. And the animation was of course fantastic.

The actors all did great jobs in their roles, new and returning. It was nice to be back in this world again. There’s one scene introducing a new character (one that made people excited when it was revealed online) and there a fantastic 2D animation sequence explaining his backstory, and I really would like a 2D animated movie for that character that leads to a normal CG second and third act, or just third act.

The story was unsurprising as it’s how this IP works. But it was nice to see connections to what we’ve seen before. And as I don’t know tons about the Mario IP, it was enjoyable to learn things as I went. Having said that, I have no idea if details are the same or different in the game lore.

The movie went by quickly, but didn’t feel rushed. And of course the comedy was enjoyable. Fun call-backs and some new stuff.

The one odd thing was the way it ended. the final moments of the main movie ended on such an abrupt note. I expected a more natural conclusion. I’ve seen this happen with TV-movies where there isn’t a wrapping-up things up kind of ending, the movie just stops. I don’t tend to like the lack of closure.

All-in-all, this was such a fun movie to see in theaters, I’m glad that I got to enjoy it on the big screen!

Mid-credit scene: Yes. A fun and slightly creepy scene.

End-credit scene: Yes. Setting up what’s to come next (similar to how the Sonic movies end revealing the next new character).

Amazing as the hype made it out to be!

This was just wonderful! I loved it! A fantastic job by directors Lord and Miller. And of course Ryan Gosling was brilliant too.

I have the same feelings I had after watching Arrival and Interstellar and other film like those. The wonder of space and the possibilities of science and such.

The score and music included were amazing of course. and the visuals were as gorgeous as anything.

The tone of the movie was heartfelt. And even though I did feel the length of the movie, I welcomed it because I loved being with the characters so much.

I’m so glad I got to see this in a theater and in IMAX.

Mid-credit scene: Nope

End-credit scene: Nope

Wow. Well, I didn’t know anything about this movie at all, and that certainly made the subject matter a shock.

It was a fantastic movie though. It certainly got deep into the main characters and went hard at all the feelings and such happening.

The actors all did brilliant jobs with this movie. The emotions were intense and loud. Zendaya and Robert Pattinson were amazing.

I’d perhaps suggest looking up the movie, like a synopsis or something to maybe prepare you for it. incase it could trigger you.

It was an intense movie that I will probably look up a bit to see what the inspiration for it was and stuff.

Pixar movies just have a way of hitting you. This was a fantastic movie.

First of all, it was fun in 3D. The story was wonderful, the score was emotional and powerful. The characters were relatable and enjoyable. Also, the animation itself was fantastic as usual for Pixar.

The cast did such a great job with the voices. Some names I know, others I don’t. Some people really know how to really emote doing animation.

The plot was a relatively simple one and it grew and grew. The heart of the main character was so strong. And the climax of her feelings really hits you if you can relate to what she’s feeling.

I really enjoyed this.

Mid-credit scene: Yup, a fun little scene. Also some animation in the credits.

End-credit scene: Yup! A short and sweet one.

This was such a cute movie!

It was an enjoyable romcom with a gorgeous setting and certainly made me hungry for Italian food.

The acting was fantastic, I loved the characters! Each new person we met had a great presence in their role.

The time went by so quickly! The music was enjoyable and it was just a fun watch. The plot is a familiar structure but still entertaining.

Mid-credit scene: Nope. But there are bloopers of two particular scenes.

End-credit scene: Nope.

That was fantastic! Also, I saw this in RealD 3D

I really had fun watching this. It felt a lot like the first movie emotionally.

The returning characters were of course wonderful to see again. Even though some of the secondary character from the first movie only had a few lines each. But even so, they were enjoyable. The leads were as fantastic as they were in the first movie. I loved seeing how there was still more to learn about them than we knew. I would like a possible third movie to focus slightly more on Nick rather than Judy. The first movie was really about Judy’s Journey and this movie was more of a balance between the two.

The new characters were enjoyable too! A couple were a bit one-note, but there was a lot going on, so we didn’t have a lot of time to focus on more of their background development. I would like to see them maybe in more shorts in the future though. And going to various new places was exciting! I loved seeing more of the environments. There were some things that I hadn’t thought about this world till this movie.

The music was as lovely and well-done as the first one. The visuals were really good. And the 3D looked pretty good!

The character development for Judy and Nick were very well done.

I certainly hope for more from this world. I love the characters and history on these movies. A very fun and emotional ride indeed!

Mid-credit scene: Not really, but like most animated movies, the mid-credits are continuing scenes with the characters.

End-credit scene: Yes, a joke and a little hint at what could come next.

What a fun ride!

I’m so happy we got a third movie from this franchise! It was as magical as the other two. Do I still love the first one the best? I think so, but I still really enjoyed this.

The returning cast all were as wonderful as they were previously. They all felt like they just slipped back into their roles from 14 years ago.

The new cast was fun to get to know. Ariana Greenblatt and Justice Smith I’ve seen in many movies or shows over the past few years, so I expected their acting chops. But I haven’t seen anything that Dominic Sessa has been in, so he was the character that I had to get used to more than the other two. I wouldn’t say no to learning more about them each in a future movie, though these movies don’t spend a lot of time on the people themselves, so I don’t really expect more of that. But I enjoyed them in these roles.

And the antagonist was a good foil to the team. Their story wasn’t so complicated or anything, but still a good character.

The visuals were mesmerizing of course. As with the other two movies, I would love to see the behind the scenes of all the tricks, beyond when we actually see the tricks shown to us.

I certainly look forward to whatever May come next or this franchise, though I’d hope to not have to wait another 14 years for the next one!

But, the last scenes of the movie hint at more, just as the others have beforehand.

Well, that was a fantastic movie!

The duo of characters we had was a great team. And the side characters and creatures added so much to the world. The story was as advertised and flowed pretty well. The movie actually went by faster than I thought it would.

Elle Fanning is so good! I can’t remember the last project I saw her in but it was a while ago. She brought a good amount of humor and heart to the darkness and action of the movie.

Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi did a fantastic job as the main Predator. I mean, I don’t know what filming was like, if he said his lines in English or if he literally had to learn the Yautja language that was made for the movie, but either way, it was great to watch.

The visuals were amazing of course. I may have to see this again in IMAX 3D. The opening shot was totally a good shot for 3D.

I was wondering if we’d see some particular creatures, and we didn’t, but that’s fine. But I wonder what’s next for this franchise beyond the upcoming AVP movie and whatever is branching out of the Killer of Killers ending.
