Elemental (2023)
Heartwarming and familiar
It's a Pixar movie with heart to it! That's all I was Simply expecting, it was a lot more than that! It's a love story and an enjoyable at that. It's simple but that's okay, because the animation all makes up for it! The colors in the movie is breathtaking and stunning! If there's something Pixar always seems to knock out of the water is their Animation! Let's also talk about how it's tells a compelling story that's very relevant to so many people! Adults and kids alike will truly enjoy this beautiful Pixar movie!
But I do have to say the marketing failed this movie, maybe I just think that but go see it!
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023)
Woah! I love spider man
This movie takes the cake ;) by being the best spider-man movie, one of the best animated movies, and the best movie of this year so far! This film is a beautiful masterpiece that is so beautiful and captivating to watch! It tells a contained compelling story with so much heart and feeling!
It puts all the wannabe film trying to attempt this animation style to shame because it ups by 100. Its exciting, and so entertaining to watch!
Across the spider-verse takes a more serious approach than the prior film but the execution was brilliant and meaningful. It really takes its place as a brilliant comic book movie and a great movie in general! Go see it in theaters to get the full experience!
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)
My heart and soul were definitely thrown into a whirlwind
I wanted to wait a day before writing my thoughts because I wanted them to settle and marinate a little! In my opinion this has to be one of the best marvel movies ever. It's such a character driven and compelling way to end such a beloved trilogy. From the beginning moments you can really feel it tugging on your heart strings! I have become to love this trilogy so much over the nearly decade of its release. Seeing these characters have their own individual arch be wrapped up in such an emotion yet satisfying way was brilliant. I definitely want to go see this movie again soon because I can't stop thinking about it! Also the music choices were so good! Definitely gave me chills on way it used the music! Also can't forget about that one scene!! Chefs kiss!!
Peter Pan & Wendy (2023)
Second star to the right!!
Ever since I was young I've always loved the story of Peter Pan! Whether that be me being a kid at heart or my yearning for adventure! Peter Pan and Wendy captures that magic I felt as a child, it provided a glimpse into why certain things are the way they are! Though this film is not perfect and there's things I've liked more in other versions of the story, it still captivated me by its stunning visuals, the outstanding cast, namely Ever Anderson's portrayal of Wendy, With fun moments with Alexander Molony's Peter Pan, and the incredible work from Jude Law's menacing yet brilliant Captain Hook! One other thing that I loved for the movie was magnificent soundtrack and I loved when it had the callbacks to original 1953 score!!
Overall! It's magical film that young and young at heart can come to love! If you're hesitant, I'd say give it a chance!
Pinocchio (2022)
A charming reimagining of a classic!
Though it's no where close to as incredible as the classic 1940 film. I do have to say I loved it for it being what it is! I wouldn't say it's the best live action reimagining of a Disney Film but I do have to say it's visually stunning and lovely to watch. The changes are fun additions! Tom Hanks as Geppetto was amazing, he played the role so great! I also loved Jiminy Cricket. I can understand those who are weary and don't enjoy it as much. For those who refuse to watch it for once reason or another, I say give it a chance and if you like it you like it but if you don't then that's okay!
I will give it a 8/10!
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (2022)
My first thoughts of the beautiful series!
My initial first thoughts of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power! I absolutely loved what I've seen so far! It's sad to see the haters of the series! Adaptions aren't going to be perfect but that's okay! Enjoy it for the beautiful cinematography, the lovely composed soundtracks, and variety of stunning special effects!! If the toxicity of the "fans" try to ruin this series success I'll be saddened, I have hopes for this series to succeed! I was drawn in from first moments so I want to see more! As a fan of mainly the Peter Jackson trilogy I love the approach shown in the series. Here's a list of things that I've loved!
The visuals: I am a huge fan of the visuals of this show! Content aside I can just watch and be captivated by the beautiful imagery of what I can view on the screen! Compared to what we've gotten from some recent series or even some films the cgi/effects are impressive. Especially compared to recent Marvel productions. Overall it's great visuals really push it along.
The score: If there's anything that really grabs my attention in series or films it's the score. Growing up loving music, it's a great treat to hear such beautiful written music. The score has its own unique footing but still having a similar feel to Howard Shore's work. I mean Shore wrote the score for the shows main titles which is beautiful! In my opinion my favorite written part in the score is Galadriel's theme. It's excites my soul hearing it. The others pieces of the score are beautifully written and is music to my ears.
The characters: It's always so intriguing to see the characters and creatures that we come across in this vast world of Middle Earth. The characters, from the leading roles and even some of the smaller roles have the opportunity to stand out in multiple ways. I love how diverse the cast is, and how it's wonderful to see it throughout the series. The characters that have stood out to me so far are Galadriel, Nori, and Arondir to name a few. They're plenty of fantastic characters who add so much life to the world and are so awesome to see play a part in the story!
The story: As I stated I am a big fan of the Peter Jackson Trilogy, and that being said I can't criticize the story of the show because from my point of view I'm excited to be back in middle earth. The story so far has been a lot of world building for the story more or less. I find that exciting from a storytelling stand point. I can see why others might seem stand off-ish about it. It's slower than what you might find elsewhere but I can see that picking up as the series progresses. As what I've watched so far, I'm invested to see what else is to come from the story!
Conclusion, overall these are my initial first thoughts on the first two episodes so my opinion could change but as of now, I absolutely love what I've seen and ecstatic to see what else is in store!
For those who do read this review/thoughts of the series! Give it a chance!

Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)
It's Star Wars and that's okay so give it a try
I loved this movie! I was impressed by Alden's Performance! There was great moments that I got way excited about. I loved how it connected itself in the universe. Donald Glover's performance was fantastic, I love seeing Chewbacca on screen, he's such a fun loving character. I did go into the movie with no expectations but it being a movie. I was amazed, and I love how different it is. Give it a try. You might like it.
Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
