Mario galaxy was a fun ride overall. The story is typical and very much like the game. It is well done apart from a slower middle section. The humor, the music, that characters all comes from the game. So, if you never played Mario Galaxy you might not get 60-70% of the content. I especially like the villains in this one. They had the best dialogues. The animation is incredible, and there is even some fun 2d inclusions. I though the music didn't lean enough into the game's music. It was too orchestral at time. The music in the games is great and could have been in the movie, then some samples mixing. I give it 65%. It made me smile and was easier to watch then the first. For the adults, you need to be a gamer of Galaxy to enjoy this, in my opinion. For the kids, they will enjoy it for the action and visuals.

Hail Mary is surely a fun scifi. The story is good but not excessively original. That said, it is more the interact between the main characters that has value. Some humor and drama. Good visuals overall. And a good performance from Gosling. I give it 88%. Nice scifi with a good story.

Good luck, is a good movie. The story is interesting with some twists, but you see them coming. Still, the humor and acting does carry that movie a long way. This made me think of Mystery men of 1999. Due to be a cult film. The Cgi is hilarious at times, and it's on purpose. Good sounds. I recommend it even if it's not perfect. I give it 75%

War machine is a fair action film. The story is nothing new or really that creative. The element of PTSD are surely interesting. And one thing the story does well is keeping the suspense alive. The action is mostly believable. The CGI are really great. The acting is good from the main actors, some are weaker in the secondaries. Good music and sounds. I give it 70%. I think it's nothing super memorable, but it will keep you entertain for 2 hours.

Rental family is a very nice movie. The story is emotional. The acting is amazing, not only from M. Fraser but all the casting. And even the side characters have their parts to do within themselves. I think we skip very fast about the police and authority, at a certain point. I do understand that they wanted to keep the story short. So certain aspects aren't fully explored. Good music too. I give it 80%. I don't like drama usually, but that one, I did love. I highly recommend it.

Predator Badland wasn't such a bad film. I was expecting a woke story but that wasn't so much. It was more about clan and family. That said the entire movie is center around action. Some CGI at the beginning were not perfect but after that, it was really well done. The acting is mainly Elle, nice performance in two tones. Music wasn't so bad a very nice sounds. I give it 72%. Good action flick with some humor, but nothing that breaks the mold. Of anything it adds quite a bit of Lore to that universe.

Interesting movie. There is a mini series that explain much more but that movie was different. Focused more upon 2-3 characters. Emotional and all. Good acting. Strangely applies to the current political situation. I give it 75%. Maybe a bit boring at one or two places, but otherwise very convincing.

That was a fun 2 hours and mostly intriguing. Although the first 36 minutes seems a bit slow at times. I like that, it's more focused on one character this time around. A bit like the first actually. The overall acting transport the story and the dialogues are pretty good. And yes, visually some very nice -mise en scene- with calculated lighting. Overall a much better movie then the second. I give it 80%

Weapons was interesting. The story is kind of new but rely on some classic elements of horror. However the movie is really slow to start and doesn't pick up until 1/3 of it. The way it is told is like, telling the same story but from a different point of view. The acting was really good, especially the villain. There is a certain amount of gore. Music was really nice. The effects were horror like. I give it 75%. I am not a lover of horror but that was acceptable for me.

Nobody 2 is average at best. The story is not very focus compare to the first movie. I think the fight scenes were not interesting this time, mainly because it's wasn't filmed in an interesting way. Not much humour, not very cohesive. I give it 60%. I don't know why it's so different from Nobody, but it lost it's charm along the way.

I thought that Final reckoning, was kind of uneven, all over the place. The story is very predictable, because of the first movie that did state everything. They added a recap into that movie, I was fine with it. The acting wasn't really that convincing this time around. I found it very goofy at times. The action was mostly generic. Although the underwater/submarine scenes and the flying planes were amazing to watch. Kudos on that. The end of Gabriel was underwhelming, to say the least. I mean I understand what it is, but it made me laugh and roll my eyes, in that context. I like the couple at the end, this was a nice arc. Music was ok. Sound works quite good. I give it 65%. I think the first one had all the action and emotion, and that one felt a bit cold and by the book.

F1: the movie was decent. The story is good overall but somewhat classic. The acting is one of the best element. The racing scenes are fantastic. You get a good amount of action racing in that movie. I wasn't sold about the music and songs. I though they sounded too odd at times. Also the movie had some slow moments, and I think they could have shorten the movie a bit. I give it 74%. Entertaining and certainly one of the good racing movie since a while.

I like the first movie because there was a mystical elements to it. The story is a continuation but I couldn't watch more then 50% of the movie. It was boring. The action wasn't bad per say but there was long periods of sentimental fluff that were barely watchable in between. I don't mind drama but for some reason everything was a mix of bad and good dialogues. And it dragged the movie a lot, in terms of slowness. The mystical elements were almost gone or not well presented. The music didn't do anything for me. It is woke ? yes and some parts no. They certainly didn't mix well together. I give it 45% mainly because Ms Theron and Thurman are great, but the rest is just not focused enough.

Life of Chuck was certainly interesting. The story is most intricate, since it's in reverse order. It does force you to think of the why... Although the links between the 3 chapters feels a bit too light at times, and some questions remains. It also feels like some elements are missing along the way. In that sens, the editing pose some shadows over the movie. If 2/3 goes relatively well, the last part of the movie is much more slower and a bit boring. And the main characters are only in one chapter, or one other. So there appearances are brief. Music is great. Visually very neatly done with a limited budget for CGI.I give it 70% but, I don't know about that structure and that slow ending.

As a comedy goes, The Naked Gun is pretty decent. The story is kind of generic. The acting is the most surprising part. The actors are just superb in it. Easily the best part of the movie. I like the recurring gags. I though that it was missing some background gags, that you see in those slapstick movies, like Airplanes, **** I am pretty sure you have to watch it more then once to get all the humour. The movie is not that long 77 minutes I think. Around the last part, the movie kind of slow down. I give it 70%. Nothing as impressive as the original, but certainly a very decent movie in a genre that we have been missing for a long time.

I though that Rebirth was ok for some things. The story was horrible. I mean there is two stories, the mercenaries and the family, but they are like stitched together. Neither of them commit fully in terms of emotions and narrative. The Dino sequences are the best in the movies. CGI are pretty decent. The acting is phoned in, no great performance here. And apart from a brief moment on the boat, emotions doesn't count overall. I mean, from an action stand point, it's a good movie. For all the rest, it's below average. Even the music is kind of lame. I give it 55%. Not something you will remember, the day after. That's why I am writing the review now.

This movie was just ok. The story is interesting and is separate by x chapters. The unique style of WA is still there, but I though there was too many lines given to Del Toro and that it lessen the other characters and deprived them for humour and witty dialogues. Reducing them to merely cameos. The movie also lack some Ma (see Ghibli) moments. It hardly pauses and doesn't give you time to process all those dialogues. So the rhythm is pretty bad. I give it 60%. Great actors but an average movie in terms of structure and written dialogues.

28 years later is average at best. There are some good things in it. The story is a small family drama with some elements of horror. Great acting, even the young actor. But we barely feel anything for the isolated island occupants. There is a quarantine, and we don't see it, don't really feel it. The ragers a bit more nuance to them but they were more cannon fodder then anything. Quite frankly, it would have been more interesting to find out how the rest of Europe was able to isolate the contagion to Britain. Or to find out how that isolated island came to be, then having this movie. I give it 55%, but overall it was a boring moving that had some moments in it.

FF4 wasn't that bad. It's certainly on par with Thunderbolts. The story is kind of deja vu. However all the aspects of 1960 future tech are certainly the most fun to see in the movie. The humour is ok, nothing special and at least, it's well dosed and placed. The acting was really good but I still think that Pedro was a bad choice for that role. He was certainly the less convincing of the batch. The CGI were fine, the exception of Silver Surfer. Not only it feels very basic but the look is detrimental to the role. Why the ugly hair ? Why not doing something more elaborate with the silver costume (lines and texture) ? You took risk with the 60's retro futuristic and you do a dumb down version of the Surfer ??? Why ? Galactus looks great by the way. The music was ok. I give it 75%. A good action hero movie with some emotion, but unequal in it's presentation.

M3gan 2.0 is a passable action flick. The story is generic but has an interesting twist. That said, it's a bit woke with stupid men all around. The acting is good. I like the dialogues of M3gan vs her creator. In fact one of the best thing. The actions has some cringy obvious CGI in it, but that said there are some good moments in it. I like some camera stuff at times, some particular fights. The music was forgettable. I give it 65%. The kind of movie that you watch once and forget.

I did like that Superman movie, in fact it's one of my favorite. The story is interesting. Superman, is more alien then invincible. He can also be hurt to a certain degree. All the personals aspects of Luther and Lois. And yes, the fear of the politicians toward an alien. I like the humour, especially the Justice gang. There was nothing too develop about them, but they did serve a purpose. Contrary to many, I don't think there was too much humour, or too much characters. The acting was excellent. Nathan Fillion could have stole the movie, but he was use sparsely, and it's fair to the rest of the cast. I also enjoyed Jimmy Olsen. The action and CGI were really good. I think they had a lot of time to do the film justice. There is maybe one scene that feels a bit like the last Flash movie. Nothing dramatic. Music was ok. I give 76%. Maybe the movie lack focus at times but overall, the message, the emotions make this a good entertainment.

Thunderbolts, I think wasn't that bad. The story is more about anti heroes and mental health. And in that sens it succeeds in most ways. The action is quite good. I really loved the humour in it. There are several funny and touching moments. It's not woke by any means. I just think the movie release in a bad time, but somehow I believe it will flourish online. The acting was awesome. Hannah (Ava) wasn't use very much. And I do appreciate that they did something very different with the ending. I tough it would be stupid but was pleasantly surprised. I give it a 72%. Not the kind of movie that will relaunch Marvel, but it's a good ladder step.

The accountant 2 was a bit better then the first one. The story is interesting and quite current, I really loved that banter and dynamic between the two brothers. It bring something deeper into the movie. There is some actions, and it's very well done. But this is not a film that is full of it. In that sens the film is well paced, but don't expect a Wick movie. I give it 75%. Good movie, with humour and darker tones at times.

Mickey 17 was a fun scifi movie. The story is pretty good but you can feel a certain limitation in the budget at times. That said it does rely on certain CGI effects, but you basically stay on the ship or one planet, The acting is superb, but the senator role is wildly exaggerated. I also didn't like the odd voice choice (a nasal child like) they did for Mickey, but it 's bearable. The sounds are pretty good. I give it a 75%. Good movie worth at least one watch, but if you dislike Ruffalo or Pattisson, it might not be for you. They pretty much carry the movie.

I am at half hour mark of this, and the movie start with a big plot hole. And they kind of accumulate too. The humour barely lands. I like that the robots have personalities. The CGI are decent enough. The music is horrible and mostly out of context. It's kind of a pain, because you notice it a lot. The acting is just ordinary, maybe that because you get a very average kind of vibe from this movie. I give it 50%, I will try to finish it and edit this review. Update, so I finish it but I will leave the score like it is. Yes the CGI fight in the end was good, but the ending felt anti-climatic. And the ending doesn't address the problem of the scavengers, which is an enormous plot hole.

I tried to watch it but it was so boring. After 45 minutes I was done. Apart from MacKey, no other relatable characters from Avenger. Which didn't help getting attached to the new Captain. And I watched the TV series, but that was, way more dull. The story was stitched together, and taking the Hulk 2 and Eternals as a reference for everything is just plainly bad. Two very average movies doesn't make a solid foundation. I give it 40%, mainly because I feel sorry for some actors.

Good scifi/horror movie. The story is interesting regarding the Gorge itself, not so much when it comes to the love story. I did like the PTSD side of it, but it is only slightly used. Which I though was a missed opportunity. Not something that will stick for long in your mind, since there is a lot of the usual story tropes. I must say the CGI was more then decent and the action really good. Sounds effects were well place, and the atmosphere pretty good around the area. I give it 68%. Good movie that would have been better without the love stuff.

Flow is a nice movie for kids. The story is interesting. It does put a lot of unanswered question up in the air. Visually the movie is stunning. If you get it on the web, I suggest you opted for the best quality, because there is a lot vegetation and forest foliage, that can pixelate the image. Music is really good and the sound is just a work of art. Adult might find it a bit long. There is no dialogues, just animal sounds. I give it 85%. Especially lovely for the kids.

Carry-On is a good thrilling drama. The story is interesting and mostly about the main actor. The start is really slow tho, and it takes easily around 52 minutes until things start to move on faster. Not that is totally bad but be prepare to a slow build up. Once you get there however, it is a fun film. I like the fact that you constantly question the morale of the main character. Music is decent. The acting is really good. I give it 75%. I guess the pacing and some of the structure of the movie could be better, but overall, it was a fun thriller.

The last Venom was not so bad. The story was finally more solid in terms of logic, and moving forward. The acting was somewhat unequal. Some just phone it in, while others were on point. The CGI was really good for the creatures, but the main villain on it's planet, looked like a video game CGI. I really like the jovial and humorous nature of Venom in contrast to Eddy. That made some good moments in the movie. I give it 70%. At least it's a good ending, and I don't think it deserve too much negative.

Megalopolis is certainly visually apart. The story is trying to make a parallel with Rome and modern civilization. But it is done with dialogues that make no sens. They seems to have been written by a 4-5 years old, or someone that had dementia. There is no logic, no cohesion. The film seems to be made with cools scenes put together, and in between, with fillings with no links. It tries to be surrealist and it fails miserably at it. There are good actors in this, but they pass has incompetent because of the overlay pretentious writing. I give 22% for partially good visuals at times. I watch 35 minutes of it, and it was enough, believe me.

Pretty good documentary. Emotional and truthful. The documentary is more focus on his accident, with the impact it had. You also get his career context, but not in every details, in the form of flashbacks. And by the side also the in and out of his family history and implications. I give it a 82%. I think it also does a good job at understanding paralyzed peoples.

Transformer One was fun to watch. As far as an origin story goes, it does a fantastic job, in terms of characters development. I am not a big fan of the transformer movie, apart from the first two and Bumblebee. This one restore a bit of my faith in that universe. The animation style is really great. Although some of the fights could have been less chaotic. Sound design was great and very fun voice overs. I like the humour in it. I give it 80%. It does setup a follow up, there is hope if they can bring that quality of writing and execution.

The Substance is certainly unique in it's story. It's a pure reflection on the world of actress and beauty. The acting is really good and sells the story. The effects are really fun until the last gory ending part. Music is incredible. That said, I didn't like how the last 45 minutes devolved into a psychedelic gory horror fest. That kind of made a caricature, of the first hour of the movie, which was so good. I give it 72% because it started with a very unique vision, but I am afraid that the end was just your typical horror ending cliché.

Nice movie. The story is for children and adults won't get bored. Some humour in it and a lot of charms/emotions. Maybe not totally original but it does the story with a lot control of the rhythm and smart placement. Visually very good to look at and the sounds are great. I give it 82%. Not groundbreaking, but this movie is similar to these old Pixar and Ghibli movies.

Inside out 2 isn't on par with the original but still, holds some charms. The story is a real continuity, from outside and onside. Which is the only logical way a sequel should be made for this movie. The humour is less prevalent. It make you smile but not laugh. Some action, some emotions. I must say that for an adult, it might be boring after 45 minutes but young peoples will have interest. I didn't like that the movie didn't pause until around one hour, of incessant talking/actions/situations. We are far from a Ghibli film here, that let you, process what you see. I find this, to be the weakest part of the movie. I give it 70%. Nice and professional, but not great.

Romulus is another average Alien movie. The story is thin. What is most jarring are the dialogues. I agree that the character are not very attaching, and by no fault of the actors. Some CGI are cringe (robot). They got the hand spider well. I left after 45 minutes because I was bored to no end. The music is just ok. I give it 58%. I feel that ship has sailed long ago.

Fly Me to the Moon, is a romantic comedy, with an emphasis on comedy. The story is made around the real event of Apollo 11, and kind of built around it. The acting is kind of average, although Scarlet impressive accents range and acting, are well displayed here. That said, she tends to move her head a lot in this movie, and often her wig/puffy hair, make it a distraction, more then emotion. Is it funny. Yes kind of a satirical funny. A reflection about marketing versus normal life. Even the small elements of drama we have, are pretty decent. They could have been more exploited. However the rhythm of the movie, is kind of unequal. Too fast, too slow. The humour doesn't always land. I give it 70%. It's a good summer flick made around real event and clips. A movie you will forget very fast.

Deadpool and Wolverine is fun. A lot of humour in it. A lot of jabs at Disney, Fox, the old Xmen series. But also a lot of respect for Logan's movie, in a way. Nice fighting sequence. I like that they laugh at the woke agenda. That said the story is a bit cliché at times, and there are some slow moments. I like the acting a lot, and it does carry the movie a lot, that synergy between the two characters, even the negative one. I give it 78 %. I had a good time at the theatre and that what movies should be about.

Kingdom of, has some good aspects. The story moves the world a little bit, but maybe not enough in the end. The emotions are there on the apes side, but we do lack to see the real story of Mae. So, it's harder to relate to her, without seeing a part of her past. Again, it's off screen. The acting is really good which does help selling the apes. The CGI is good, but begin to decline when you arrive at the Kingdom, especially the compositing. However everything that involved water is extremely well done. Music is fine by me, and the sounds are perfects. I give it 72%. I think the story could have been better emotionally and deeper. So it make this an average movie experience overall. Do it deserve another film ? Not sure of that, but a TV series, would be fascinating (expensive tho)

Unfrosted started well. the story was fun and original at the beginning. But the idea got old very fast and it felt more like expanding a sketche then a real movie. So, the humour falls flat after the first half hour. Mind you, the actors are very good at their craft and did deserve a better story. I give it 42% because it is fun to see all those actors in the same movie.

Furiosa was an excellent action movie. The story is pretty basic, and curiously, we don't learn a lot about Furiosa. And Max isn't really there. But the performance of Dementus is amazing. But the action! In terms of editing, it is cut with an extraordinary precision. The rhythm of the movie is incredible. You have to see this for the visual and the amazing sounds. I give it 80%. Maybe not a prequel that explain everything, but it does a nice link between the two movies.

Fall Guy was almost more, then an average movie. The story is somewhat fun but fall into clichés by the end. I would say the first 3/4 of the movie are good. But after the night club sequences, the film is pretty much boring. The action is there, I like all the stunts side of things. The humour/dialogues started well, but felt flat in the last part. I give it 70% because it's a good action movie, and half decent romance.

RM part 2 was decent but not that great. The story is painfully slow for the first half. With poor dialogues, overuse of slow mo (yes, again slow mo for farming). The flashback works in some cases, at least. They really missed an opportunity with the robot. Story wise it's a big miss. The CGI is a mix bag. Some feels cheesy, some are great. The actors are still average by any standard, except General Titus which at least shows intensity. I give it 50%. You can skip to 1:28 minutes if you want to watch the best part only.

Godzilla New Empire, was somewhat dull. The story is ok but extremely bad when humans are involved. The last 45 minutes are the most fun part of the movie, while the rest is just boring. I don't know how many exposition dialogues you have in this movie, but after two of them, it's way too much. In fact I would have appreciated a no dialogues movie, with only the monsters, and from their point of view. The messiah part with the girl is just, predictable. the acting is average if not awful. But the actors have bad dialogues to start with. CGI is still great tho with the action. Music is ok. Some sounds effects are just misplaced and very repetitive. I give it 42%. This doesn't compared well after Godzilla Minus One.

GMO was a fun story. The story is quite surprising because it follows very closely a man and his family, after WW2. Very touching story that will get you some tears at times. Don't worry Godzilla is there. You are also showed the state of Japan after the war. The acting is really good. Of course you can almost feel the acting coach with the very young girl, but that's ok. The special effect are fine to amazing. The way they show how heavy Godzilla is, is interesting. And there is no magical: I can stand on the water, with this one. I give it 85%. This is by far, the best Godzilla movie I have seen.

I liked Poor Things. The story is very much for adults and intellectual, yet a bit stupid in certain ways. It certainly speaks of the innocence versus cynicism. the acting is just fabulous. The imagery is special and unique. The world is very imaginative. A lot of sex scenes but the context is important for them. The language is going from very crude to very articulate. If you don't like dialogues with complex phrasing, it might not be for you...from around the middle of the movie. Music and sounds are really good here. Some longer and slow moments around the middle. I give it 88%. Those kinds of movie with sarcasm are pretty rare, so enjoy this one.

Very good follow up to Dune. The story has some deviations to the book, but it is still very accurate. The acting is amazing all around. The action, CGI and filming makes a very solid ensemble. The music transport the film more then you know. Quite frankly, I have very little negative to say about it. You must see it in theatre to enjoy it fully. I give it 90%. Some says it's like another Empire Strikes back. It surely has the vibe of it, but it is it's own thing.

The Marvels is a silly movie. The story starts well and is pretty decent until the half mark. When you get to the singing planet, everything takes a silly, illogical turn. The cat thing is stupid. The villain is absolutely not convincing. She was totally miscast. Kalama and her family do bring a good energy to the movie but after the half mark, the acting becomes also pretty bad. There are some CGI that are very bad and cringy. And in a way, they ruined the best ones. I give it 35%. Mostly for Kamala actress and the first half of the movie. But the second half is just horrible on so many levels.

Ferrari was good but with strange decisions. The story follow the private life of Enzio. Because the rest is kind of there, but sometimes skimmed over. That strange part with selling to Fiat, is incomplete and not really concluded. You have to evoke it, and you treat it like an obstacle. Weird. The acting is surely what elevates this movie. Sensational. Photography is beautiful with Italy landscape. The racing parts are exhilarating but few. Sounds are realistic. I give it 70%. The movie is a bit slow around the middle. It was interesting anyway.
