Cinderella and the Secret Prince (2018)
Nice ideas but execution is lacking
The story starts out just like Disney's Cinderella : there is a royal ball, Cinderella is forbidden to go by the evil step mother, she is helped by her mice friends, gets magical help and goes to the ball. But the prince turns out to be an imposter, while the real prince is under a curse, that Cinderella decides to help to break.
The idea is nice, but the execution is not great. The pace of the action scenes feels off, the scenes go from slow to big action to slow again without warning, which is the biggest problem for me. I wasn't surprised by the plot twists but I suppose kids will be. And finally the ending is really abrupt, it left me with a feeling that the movie was incomplete. Not because the situation the characters are in is dissatisfying but the narration is really bad and makes it seem worse than it is.
Overall, the story had potential but the final product is not as good as it could have been.
Peppermint (2018)
Decent revenge movie
Well I cannot say this is the movie of the century, but it is a very decent entertainment to watch, the action keeps you on edge. Jennifer Garner is great in this role, even if it is to me very much like what she played on Alias. The one complaint I have is the lack of explanation when it comes to the missing years. It would have been nice to know a little bit more.
