Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker was unfortunately not given much to go off of from Rian Johnson's mess that was 'The Last Jedi'. This film takes the mess left behind and executes some stupid and silly ideas very well. This film was enjoyable, the action scenes were very much impactful and a joy to watch. The acting is exceptional and runs alongside amazing directing by JJ Abrams who does a very good job to make it feel like a 'Star Wars' film. That being said, the film was relatively convoluted but it was not extremely hard to keep up with the plot, there is just a lot to take in here. Overall, 'The Rise of Skywalker' is unpredictable in good ways, takes risks that work out pretty well, but with that comes a bit of a mess that unfortunately can make someone lose their focus with the screenplay. People are going to say it just **** and it "the worst star wars film," but that is not true at all. Just try to enjoy it, it is not spectacular or by any means the best 'Star Wars' film, but it is really good and worthy of having the name "Skywalker" in its title, and a good amount of that is derived from that terrific ending. Score: 7.8/10

Rocketman follows the story of Elton John and his rise to fame. The formula for Rocketman, and like any other musical biopic is quite familiar, but Rocketman bends and twists this formula in ways that make it special. It has a very unique execution from Elton John telling his story to a rehab group, the amazing musical numbers, and the highs and lows of Elton's life represented through metaphors. Multiple scenes in this movie aren't meant to be taken literally, but the film never goes over the top with any of them. Taron Egerton, as Elton John, does an absolutely fantastic Job and fully embodies Elton perfectly. I admire Rocketman because it sets the standard very high for musical biopics due to the fact that it tries something new. Never have I seen a movie based on an artist use their music to drive the plot forward. Many scenes in this film had me emotionally and I thoroughly enjoyed rocketman and thought it was near perfect. 9.5/10

While Bohemian Rhapsody can be enjoyable, it falls flat on many levels. It follows your A->Z biopic formula that we have all seen too many times. The film doesn't take many risks and tends to lose itself in telling a basic story than actually having an effect on anyone watching it. The only reason people enjoyed this film is because of Queen's music and an amazing lead by Remi Malek. Bohemian Rhapsody is simple, bland, and can be quite boring as it takes a basic formula and does nothing with it, besides follow it. 5.8/10

After seeing the high user ratings, I had high hopes for this film and I was not disappointed. The Greatest Showman stars Hugh Jackman who plays a real man P.T. Barnum and how he "changed" entertainment. Speaking of entertainment, this film boasts with it. Although it suffers from being too cliche and corny, The Greatest Showman has stunning visuals, acting, and fantastic music. Everything plays out very nicely in this film and although it has multiple sub-plots, it is is very easy and fun to follow. 8/10

CGI is great and there are some fantastic action scenes Fallen Kingdom is a whole new take on the series. Unfortunately, it's an overly complicated mess about money and dinosaurs and this film doesn't serve a purpose. There are poor supporting characters but at least the main characters can sort of shadow that. I'm sorry, it just doesn't feel like a Jurassic film even though I thoroughly enjoyed the start and the end.

Although it can be overdramatic and its story is similar to the original, it is still a thriller. An entire group against one beast is a fantastic way to go. New fantastic characters and the two boys giving the background of the story life Jurassic World is an enjoyable and entertaining film to watch.

Feels like every Jurassic movie is something different from its predecessor. This survival episode adds suspense for the audience. Although the acting could've been better and it is a little cheesy, it's still its own story that pays a respect to the audience and the original by bringing Alan Grant back which is a fantastic character.

It's silly, bad characters and a different look and vibe compared to its perfect predecessor this one still puts life into the series giving us more dino duels and dino action.

Its originality is just amazing, perfect. A movie with amazing effects, characters, suspense and fun. A movie you must respect for being so creative.

A heartwarming tale of the Muppets reuniting has many exciting scenes, emotional scenes, and happy scenes. The songs are fantastic in every way. This is the best Muppet movie. Rating: A+

This film without a doubt improves on an already fantastic predecessor. Well directed, acted, scripted and filmed, it's the best of the four by a lot. Rating: A+

A popcorn thriller that is very well executed, suspenseful and amazing, The Hunger Games was my favourite movie at one point. You would think that since the games start 3/4 of the way in the film, the first 75% would be boring, but no, everything is entertaining and very well organized with memorable written all over this film. Rating: A-

Nothing memorable, just complete stupidity. Although it could be actually very funny at some points, nothing clicks and it's just a garbage film. Easy to make fun of. Rating: F

Absolutely hilarious with great emotion,animation, character development and plot. The Lego movie is not one to forget because it delivers greatness on every aspect. Very original and special. Rating: A

A funny clever film that is one easy to enjoy. But this movie just keeps getting worse and worse each time I watch it, probably because it can be all over the place and boring. Rating: C

Disappointing to say the least. This movie adds silly aspects that don't make a whole lot of sense at all. The story is bland and this film just doesn't have that feel we got from it's predecessors. Rating: F

The Lorax is a forgettable experience because of the lack emotion this movie has. The characters are forgettable and poorly used and they invent a whole new world that wasn’t even in the Lorax book. I enjoyed it, but this movie just adds random future concept elements that don’t suit the theme of the story well. Rating: C

Real Steel is a silly, fun, serious and enjoyable film. I had a lot of fun fun watching this for good reasons. The characters are good, but the characters are not used properly, so unpredictable at times which could be good or bad. I should also point out how overly dramatic this film was, there’s some scenes you need to turn your head away from because the acting can be bad and hard to watch. But I’m not gonna lie saying it was bad, I really enjoyed and loved it, but critically I cannot say it’s the best.

Ready Player One is without a doubt one of the best movies of the year, for the very reason that it stands out from the crowd. I could’ve not been more entertained when watching this film, there are next to zero sluggish moments and parts will you will turn your head way. Although the casting could have been better, this movie still has parts where you will go “wow” that’s some really good acting. But apart from that, Ready Player One is absolutely beautiful because of the gorgeous CGI this movie has to offer. The Story (the most important aspect) is very well thought out, but with that comes some confusion and parts that will have you maybe asking your friend what’s going on; other than that: the story is very good and very fun. “Ready Player One” would fall under the “Amazing” category.

This movie is absolutely magical. The Polar Express is perfect in almost every way, a movie hard to forget. 9.3

Finding Dory is s very fun and enjoyable movie. Although the creativity can be lacking. It’s a funny and heartwarming story you will really enjoy.

Such a creative story. The characters are where it shines, and so is everything else. Such an enjoyable film that literally has everything you could possibly want in an animated film by Disney.

Pixar’s newest movie has been the best they have hadn’t in years, beating out: Finding Dory, The Good Dinosaur and Cars 3. Coco is one stellar performance (literally) that is one you don’t want to turn your head away from. An amazing story, characters and animations, although Coco is a little draggy, it is all worth it in the end. Coco is a true masterpiece that I can’t imagine being forgotten.

Never expected to laugh as much as I did. The jokes are stupid and dirty, but there is no denying that they are hilarious. This movie also has some really strong characters with great actors to portray them. But the movie’s story is really all over the place and the same as the original. But still a solid film.

Yes, no one wanted it. But lets be real, we can't change it, this is what we have, and it's very good. With a whole line of unique and funny characters and a big event that rolls out the plot for this movie. Monsters University is a really fun film that deserves way more credit.

This movie is full of feelings because it's done so well. With next to zero flaws, just take it for what it is, and you'll enjoy it.

It favours what we love about the book and comes along with a lot of comedic scenes. But this movie can really feel a bit off with the acting and effort in this movie. It's okay but I still love this movie because I remember watching it as a kid over and over again, but when i'm criticizing, it's just a bland movie.

Lets see here, well there are zero improvements over 1 and 2. The whole brother thing is really bland and feels rushed. It is a huge mess focusing on the Minions, Gru, Lucy and The Girls all in one movie. It's like they try to cram 4-5 stories in one Movie, its just bad and makes me feel bad to say that considering how much i loved its predecessors.

I really loved where they went this one. The effort in everything here is very good. Despicable Me 2 tops its predecessor just barley. Great work by Illumination here.

Despiable Me is a great start. Giving us favourable characters, a well thought-out story line, and a bunch of comedy all fit together nicely. All around, this one is great and I won't ever forget it.

Sully can be a little bit slow and draggy, but that leads to big things. Sully is a almost a masterpiece and is really deep and interesting true story.

The only good things Illumination "Sing" gives us are: Good action, animation, and story basis. Other than that, Sing is a rushed movie on so many aspects. One being that the whole story changes because of something so stupid and unrealistic (an eyeball falling out of a lizards head), they should have put more thought into that. Another being that they use animals instead of humans, and they don't even act like Animals. Disney's "Zootopia" at least follows the basis that they are still animals, even though they are basically human, they still have animal traits that have a roll on the story of Zootopia, Sing falls short in that. The characters really feel bland and not interesting and hard to love. Sing is one movie that is very forgettable and Illumination better pick up their act soon or just stick to Despicable Me, and even that they can't do. Sorry, but Sing is not for me at all, and it's a very bad movie thats hard to even enjoy.

The Emoji Movie is a huge mess, with a lackluster story, odd characters, and bad acting, this film still has some positives. One being that it teaches the true meaning of friendship, the other being the gorgeous animation and of course the jokes, which are not very clever, but they are 'stupid funny' and made me laugh a bit. Overall, this movie needs work.

The Good Dinosaur is amazing when it comes to animation, after that, its okay. The story is a classic 'Lost find your way home story', and the characters have next to zero significance, this is a very forgettable film.

It's rare that a second sequel can be any good. But Pixar is different and can make amazing second sequels, they prove it twice with Cars 3, and of course Toy Story 3, which is amazing.

For my first viewing, it's fair to say that I hated this movie, and my original rating on Metacritic was 2/10. After Watching it again, I liked it way more. I found a lot of parts to be good, a lot of great action, and pretty well-used characters (although Rose is very irritating). Now to the cons, the story is all over the place focusing on 3 things in one movie, so it's very crammed. This film also doesn't really have a goal, but with that, I still found some enjoyment in this. Rating: C-

Disney brings proves that they can kick off a new series of Star Wars Movies with something amazing, this movie is truly special.

Cars is very mixed, it's a little childish but I have a huge soft spot for this film. Cars gives us very memorable Characters, all helping the main Character (Lightning McQueen) find his true self. Cars is great in many ways, and it's hilarious and enjoyable. The main Con of this film is the story, Lightning simply wants to win a race then becomes a respectful character later on, which we don't know. But other than that okay story Cars is great and fun. Rating: B+

Cars 2 is enjoyable, no doubting it, but with that comes complete stupidity. We watch the first film trying to like Lightning, then we do eventually like and appreciate Lightning McQueen in the end, then Cars 2 comes along and makes Mater (a slightly irritating character voiced by Larry the Cable Guy, which says a lot) the main character. This is a spy movie, not a race movie which is sad because the movie is about Cars. They make the World of Cars look weird and is a total insult to the Cars Trilogy. Luckily Cars 3 ignores the events of this movie. Rating: F

*Minor Spoilers* Cars 3 is probably the most controversial Pixar film, because it belongs to a mixed franchise. But surprisingly, Cars 3 is the best of the series easily. Cars 3 has more in its mind than Lightning McQueen simply winning a race, but also trying to prove himself worthy to stay in the sport he loves, then becoming a mentor to Cruz Ramirez (Cristela Alonza) later. The story is great, so are the characters. Cruz is a nice addition to the trilogy; there are also a lot more new characters like Sterling (Lightings new sponsor voiced by Nathan Fillion), Jackson Storm (An unexplained protagonist trying to throw Lightning of his game voiced by Armie Hammer), Smokey (Doc Hudson's old crew chief, who later becomes Lightnings Crew Chief voiced by Chris Cooper), and a lot of other old racers. Almost everything in this movie is great, Cars 3 has great race scenes, outstanding animation, a great story, amazing movie trailers, and a fabulous musical score (composed by Randy Newman). Although the story is predictable, Cars 3 is a great closure to a very lopsided trilogy, it's the Cars 2 we asked for, and it's great because it pays a huge respect to Paul Newman and the original Cars Movie. Rating: B+
