Y'all are giving this way too much praise lol, this movie sucked. Yeah it's pretty, but the protagonist is working with the nazi's... We're supposed to sympathize with him because he mumbles a few vague sentences of regret and not agreeing with the war but uhm... you're designing kamikaze planes bro. The romance is also just BS, they fall in love instantly while he's a college student and she's literal CHILD. They spend a few days together and then decide to get married outta nowhere. The plot is also a hot mess, the middle of the movie is just a bunch of weird dream sequences and confusing nothing. Idk. It's beautiful animation but that's really all. I liked Miyazaki's earlier work a lot more.
Puss in boots 1 was very mid but the sequel is much better. The main villain was genuinely scary, the little doggy side character was funny and charming, the world is really cool, the emotional moments are actually touching. They also switch to an indie game/spiderverse-esque animation style sometimes and that looks really good. I liked it a lot.
The message of this movie is “trust people even if they backstab you SEVERAL TIMES with literal world ending consequences” and I dunno, that seems kinda whack to me
The Bond girl in this one is really cool but it’s really jarring how Bond disrespects her just because she’s a woman. There have been cool powerful women in previous Bond films (e.g May Day, mrs. Goodhead, Pussy Galore) and Bond seemed to be fine with them but now he just goes off on her about how she’s unprofessional and this is a man’s world and he works alone. She’s a CIA agent bro why are you being so rude to her?
him turning Japanese? He doesn’t look or sound Japanese at all, nobody would be fooled by the cheap black wig, eyes that aren’t almond shaped and a thick English accent. And the plot point is dropped almost immediately, in the next scene he just follows up a lead from another agent and he just looks as he always does?
. At least the sexual assault is limited to some minor back and forth.
I found this one kind of unwatchable with the casual misogyny and racism. Like why is there a canonically Chinese character cosplayed by a white man lol. It's to be expected for the time I guess but it doesn't help a film that's otherwise also quite bad.
This movie was really dumb. It's kind of a sequel to the classic nutcracker story. The visuals are pretty, the acting is mostly okay, but the story makes zero sense. There's plotholes, cheesyness, and all the characters are shallow and one-dimensional. I pretty much hated the main character, because she's touted at this genius girl coming to save the country, yet she doesn't see the most obvious double-cross in the world coming. She's dumb as rocks and so is the movie.
This movie could have been so much better. The setting and world-building is good, it looks great, but the story makes no sense at all, the romance is cringey, and the acting is a mixed bag. Basically a worse version of avatar.
I mean, the plot is literally " We were a primitive people living in nature. Our planet was destroyed so we hid on this broken space ship (what?!) and learned language and math and science in a few years (??) and now we built a machine to make our planet again (riight) but we just need this Macguffin creature that shits out Pearls to complete it so we had to make a deal with a criminal to get it for us but then the government took it so we just busted into a high-profile government meeting (because apparently we have the ability to do that). But then we don't take the Macguffin, but just kidnap the commander, so the heroes of the story can come and give it to us after getting distracted 3x rescuing each other.

As a dreamworks fan, I did not like this at all.
