Yeah, bet you weren't expecting a comic book review for the Christmas season. Well here it is and it stars everybody's favorite web slinger.
'Twas the Fight Before Christmas was a 2003 story published in issue twenty-one of the Marvel Comics anthology series, Spider-Man's Tangled Web. The late, great Darwyn Cooke both drew and wrote.
The story is, it's Christmas in New York City. It might be the most wondrous time of the year, but a huge snowstorm is sweeping the city. Just to make things more chaotic there's a evil scheme going on at the mall, and Spider-Man and his allies need to quickly stop or nobody's having a Merry Christmas.
Negatives
I've got nothing.
Mix
I've got nothing...again.
Positives
First let's get to the humor. Since this a more lighthearted story compared to other Spider-Man comics, we're given many funny moments. My favorite running gag is J. Jonah trying to prove Spider-Man is a menace to a bunch of children. Typical J.J.J. behavior.
Then there's Darwyn Cooke's art. Before passing away, Cooke's art was always a beautiful sight to see. Because he clearly has a retro style to and whether you'd like the comic book art of the past or not, Darwyn's captured the old school vibe but he still had a lot of modern twists in his style. But he's style was also very versatile. He could go dark like with his Batman: Ego one-shot, serious like with The New Frontier, or comedic like with this. So if you like artists like who an old school look to like say Bruce Timm, then you'll love Darwyn Cooke.
The last thing I'll credit is the story. Now let me just say, this isn't a mind blowing Spider-Man like If This Be My Destiny, Kraven's Last Hunt, The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man, Blue, etc. But it is an entertaining story. It captures what you want a Christmas tale. It's got comedy, heart, people stressing over what to give their loved ones for Christmas, comedy, how crazy the holiday season is, and a happy ending. So if want a chilled Christmas story to read then this one's got you covered.
So yeah, overall a pretty nice comic.
My final rating is, Good.
That's all for now. Come back on Saturday, Dec 13th, for my review of Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery. Until then, enjoy the rest of your day.
It's been awhile since I've done a Cinematic Disaster. So as a little early Christmas present I present to you me having to suffer by having to review a terrible movie.
Santa Claus: The Movie (or just Santa Claus as it's titled on-screen) is a Christmas movie that was produced by Santa Claus Productions (cause I guess Santa owns his own film production) and Calash Corporation N.V. with Tri-Star Pictures distributing. The story was written by David & Leslie Newman (and if those names sound familiar it's because they wrote the first threeSupermanmovies) and directed by Jeannot Szwarc.
The story is, somewhere in the Middle Ages Europe there was a man named Claus who delivered hand-carved toys to the children of his village. During this time Claus and his wife were caught in a snow storm and almost died, but were saved by elves. Since that day, Claus has been delivering presents to not only to the kids of his village but all around the world for centuries. But his legacy is soon put in jeopardy when a greedy business man wants to sell gifts for the purpose of money, regardless if his presents are safe or not.
My Thoughts
So our movie starts off innocently enough with that previous stuff I said about Claus giving gifts to the children of his village, then the snow storm, and then being rescued by elves. Although I think the term elf or elves should be used loosely here. Because we have some shots where they're small like an elf and others times the elves are just really short people. Anyhow, but once then "elves" bring Claus to the workshop, they pretty much just thrust the title of "Santa Claus" onto him. I mean it the head elf (I forgot what he's name is) is basically saying you will do this, you will do that, you have to do this as well. And Claus isn't questioning any of this. He stands around perplexed and just accepts this new life of his. I get he was already doing something similar before what with giving the village kids presents, but dude! This is a lot to take in! For crying out Claus just arrived and already he's told to be Santa Claus.
So after unloading all of that on a guy they just meant, the elves get started by designing his suit and after rejecting the green one they decided the red one is the correct color. But when they aren't decided on what's fashionable, we get this very bizarre scene of the elves waiting for a star to align, for the light to shine on them, then for snow to fall on them, and then they proceed to congratulate each other and break out into dance. I swear of my mother, father, and sister I'm not making this up. That's an actual scene and it's never explained what that is. What kind of workshop is Santa running?
Then we get a very eyebrow raising scene. Just as Santa is about to start his first day on the job, we're all greeted to ancient elf named...The Ancient Elf, creative. But if you thought the snow dance thing whatever was odd get ready for this. Basically during this scene The Ancient Elf tells Claus he's fulfilling a prophecy that a chosen one who had no children of his own would love all the children of the world and bring the elves' gifts to all of the children. How is that Jesus Christ is not only the son of God, but is also the savior who died for our sins then three days later came back from the dead and yet he isn't getting this level of hype? I mean, Santa Claus is a prophecy?! What the hell?!? I thought Santa was just a cool guy who wanted to give gifts to all the good boys and girls? 😆
So after doing his job for centuries, Santa finds himself overworked by ever-increasing demand. But thankfully an elf named Patch, (by the way get use to him using the word "elf" in his sentences like how the Smurfs use the word "Smurf" in their sentences) has an idea. He's made a machine that'll get toys from scratch and put them together quickly too. Then Santa takes the toys where he meets a homeless boy named Joe who at first doesn't believe he's the real deal Santa Claus. Then because Santa feels bad for the boy's situation in life and also kind of wants to prove him wrong, teleports Joe and himself to his sleight and shows him what he can do. Okay homeless kid or not I'm pretty sure Santa just committed a kidnapping. Sure Joe's mind is blown away by what he's seeing and he did agree to go on the trip, but I'm still pretty sure this counts as a kidnapping. Then the duo meets a girl named Cornelia who actually knows Joe because she leaves food out in the open for him to eat. Then Santa leaves the two so they'll be better acquainted. Okay so I guess he knew that those two know each other so I'll stop with the kidnapping jokes, but I'm still be keeping my eye on this Santa.
Then it's Christmas Day and all of the kids are playing with Patch's toys. Until they start to break apart rather quickly. Probably should've tested the toys before delivering them there Santa. And during this time Joe and Cornelia are both being bullied by the angry children because they said they rode with Santa. Okay I know children aren't very bright because their brains aren't fully developed yet, but shouldn't these kids be entertaining the idea that maybe just maybe there's a 99.99% chance both Joe and Cornelia are lying? Literally anybody could say the rode with Santa.
Afterwards we cut back to the workshop where everyone is saddened by the failed toys. And I'm not gonna lie this is actually a pretty good moment. At first Santa knows he needs to fire Patch, but Patch is such a good friend he knows Santa can't bring himself to say it, so Patch willingly sets down. Then he watches on in sadness when he sees the new elf take his old job. Then to make the scene even more of a gut punch, Patch says his goodbyes to the reindeer who are so sad to see Patch leave and they're actually crying for him. Then Patch leaves feeling like a failure. Like I said it's really good scene and I truly enjoyed it despite the depressing story being told.
But then we got from sad to goofy when we meet the greedy business man I mentioned earlier simply named B.Z. And John Lithgow's performance is so over the top you can't help but love it. Hell he's character is so cartoonishly evil he puts nails and broken glass in teddy bears. I shit you not he actually has teddy bears with nails and broken glass in them. I get the movie is trying to show he's the opposite of Santa because Santa wants playable and safe toys, while B.Z. just wants to get them out as quickly as possible regardless of the consequences, but how the hell does that happen?!? How do you wind up with teddy bears with nails and broken glass? What did B.Z. hire a sociopathic serial killer?! How does that happen?!?!
And yet despite this very well documented recklessness, not only is B.Z. allowed to stay in business but Patch wants to work with him? I'm sorry....what? Why? B.Z. was just in court for the teddy bear thing which was both photographed and televised for everybody to see so imagine Patch saw it. So why work with the guy? So Patch is giving his pitch to B.Z. saying he'll make a product for him and during which Patch says they'll give away his idea for free...in which we get this amazing delivery.
....How did this not become a meme? That was perfect!
Eventually B.Z. agrees on the freething. Then Patch makes a lollipop that can make people float, and he starts traveling around to deliver his new invention. Then we catch up on Cornelia where the housemaid (yes Cornelia is not only an orphan but she's rich. Sorry I didn't mention that earlier) tells her to say Merry Christmas to her "step-uncle". Okay I get a step-mom, step-dad, step-son, and step-daughter, but how does one get a step-uncle? That doesn't sound like a real thing.
But ignoring that odd step-uncle thing, Cornelia goes to say Merry Christmas to him and it's revealed he's none other than...
Okay! Forget "For Free?!?!". How didn't this become a meme?! From the dramatic chair spin all the way to the evil laugh, this is ripe for meme material! 🤣
So after that glorious moment, seriously how did that NOT become a meme? We seen the flying candy is taking off all the while Patch believes this'll get him back into Santa's good graces. Which is an odd plan to say the least. Couldn't he redeem himself just by continuing working with Santa only this time making sure the toys are tested before releasing them to the public?
We go back to B.Z. and ask Patch what would happen if the formula was juiced up. Patch answers with it would make people fly and after hearing that B.Z. now has another unsafe get rich get scheme. But when Patch gives a time table which also mentions how Christmas is once a year, B.Z. not only wants to strike while the iron is hot, but also decides that we need another Christmas. So he comes up with the idea of March 25th being "Christmas II". After hearing that I'm just reminded of how both people and corporations have an unhealthy Christmas obsession. First we get Christmas in July because apparently Uncle Sam isn't good enough and when you go to Walmart during the fall season when we should be celebrating Halloween, in the far back ya a small but noticeable set of freakin' Christmas decorations on stand by! So folks do me a favor, PRAY WE DON'T GET AN OFFICIAL CHRISTMAS II ON MARCH 25TH!
Sorry for that meltdown there. Had to get something off my chest. Anyhow, but B.Z. just doesn't want money but he also wants to be the new Santa Claus to the point where children are writing to him. And he celebrates by...drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon beer in a wine glass. I know this doesn't effect the story but does anybody else find that weird? You drinks beer in a wine glass?
Later Cornelia calls the police and B.Z. is arrested. Man she's a snitch! I wanted more B.Z. and his cartoon brand of evil. While that's happening Patch and Joe put the exploding candy in Patch's sleigh and they head off to the North Pole to keep the candy from hurting anyone or anything. But the candy is set to exploded at any given time, so now we've got a ticking clock. So Santa and Cornelia race to save Patch and Joe. And Santa saves them with a move I would tell you about or make a short video, but go look it up or watch this movie for free on Tubi while you still can. You will not believe the trick Santa uses. So afterwards the day is saved and Joe and Cornelia can live at Santa's workshop. Okay Joe is understandable because he's homeless, but Cornelia? Sure she's an orphan, but doesn't see have friends she can live with? I imagine a rich background would give you some connections?
So that was Santa Claus: The Movie. I still find this to be bad, but it's also bizarrely entertaining and not just because of B.Z. So you know what? Give this look. Like I said before it's currently free on Tubi so go watch right now if you something weirder this Christmas season.
My final rating is, So Bad It's Good.
So that's gonna wrap things up. Come back on Thursday, Dec 11th, for a comic book review. What comic will it be? Well you're gonna have to figure it out. Until then, enjoy the rest of your day.
Okay, I'm doing what I usually do during the Christmas season. Wanting to review Christmas movies and specials but something interesting gets in the way. Oh well, got nobody to blame but myself.
Five Nights at Freddy's 2 is a supernatural horror movie based on the video game series Five Nights at Freddy's and the sequel to the 2023 film adaptation. Blumhouse Productions and Scott Cawthon Productions produced with Universal Pictures doing distributing. This time around Scott Cawthon is the only one writing the story but Emma Tammi has returned to direct.
The story is, it's been a whole year since the events of the previous movie and security guard Mike is trying his best to move on from those events alongside his 11 year old sister Abby. But when Abby decides to finally check in on her animatronic friends and reconnect with them, she unknowingly sets off a chain of events that'll reveal a secret hidden away in Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.
Initial Reaction
Now I'll be the first to admit it, but I actually liked the first movie. I don't think it's a masterpiece I just thought it was pretty decent. So I was curious what the sequel had in store.
Cons
My only complaint is we have a human villain and he has a connection to William Afton and it's supposed to this big shocking reveal. The problem with that is he appears so little in the movie that I wouldn't be shocked if I hear and read from other reviewers and audiences that they completely forgot about him.
Middle Ground
So we more or less have a lot of the same slight issues from before. That being again I did find some enjoyment from the story, but the scare factor wasn't full there. Although I did find the new animatronic villain's design to be pretty good and the look they give the person their possessing did actually look little creepy. There's also the characters. Now Mike was okay in this, he is giving the vibe he wants to move on, but they don't really develop his character more. Which is a bummer because the other characters, Vanessa and Abby both have some development. Abby feels like she doesn't fit in and wants to make Fazbear gang again because she feels as though as those are real friends. And Vanessa is struggling with her past and trauma, thus she desperately wants to move and be normal.
Pros
The only thing I'll praise is the animatronics. Once again they look like they leaped out of the game, they look great. So if there's anything to give applause to, it's the tremendous job from Jim Henson's Creature Shop.
Much like the previous movie, I didn't hate it but I still acknowledge it's flaws.
My final rating is, Okay.
That's all for now. Come back on Monday, Dec 8th, for my Cinematic Disasters review of, Santa Claus: The Movie. Until then, enjoy the rest of your day.
Holy crap! It's already December! Where did the time go? It felt like we just blew through 2025. Well regardless, let's kick off the Christmas season with a holiday film you more than likely never heard of.
The Family Man is a romantic fantasy comedy drama flick that was produced by Beacon Pictures and Saturn Films with Universal Pictures handling distribution. The story was written by David Diamond and David Weissman and directed by Brett Ratner. Yes, the same Brett Ratner that directed all three Rush Hour films and X-Men: The Last Stand.
The story is, Jack Campbell is a wealthy Wall Street executive bachelor with millions of dollars at his disposal. One night after defusing a hostel situation at a convenience store Jack wakes up not in his usual place, but in a suburban New Jersey home and things get weirder when he sees he's married to Kate who's supposed to be his ex-girlfriend but the two also have two kids. Jack quickly figures out this is a life he could've had if he didn't focus solely on his career. But even with this knowledge it leaves him at a crossroads.
Why It's Underrated
Be honest, how many of you actually knew of this movie's existence? Am I not asking you Nicolas Cage fans or movie buffs, I'm asking you casual fans. How many of you knew this was a movie? If you said you didn't know about this, don't worry I'm not gonna shame you. Cause I didn't know about either until last month when I was looking for underrated Christmas movies to review for this blog.
My Thoughts
Okay before I start giving this movie some praise let's get to some of it's slight flaws. One of them being the directing. Despite the Rush Hour films being fun and I'm probably one of the few people you DON'T think X-Men: The Last Stand isn't terrible but just decent, I could never be a big Brett Ratner fan because I never found his directing style to be something to be amazed. Don't get me wrong, he's pretty decent at what he does. But he never could wow me. So yeah, Ratner's directing is serviceable but don't be surprised if you don't gush over any of the shots in this.
Then there's the comedy and drama parts. Now the movie handles both aspects very well. Some of the drama is really good and I did laugh at some of the funnier moments. However there are moments when these two things kind of wobbles. So there's probably gonna be a moment where the drama can undercut a comedic moment or vice versa.
Now let's talk about the good stuff. Starting with my absolute favorite aspect, and that's the fact that never lifestyle is particularly glamorized. Sure Jack's Wall Street executive bachelor lifestyle at first might look good, but the movie actually tells you that no, it can be very lonely. But Jack's alternate version lifestyle were he married his Kate instead of breaking up with her years ago, so that even the married with children lifestyle can be a struggle. We see how Jack and Kate despite being in love and married can occasionally argue, we see the sacrifice they made for the sake of their children, at one point Jack takes alternate Kate to a fancy restaurant and she says "are you sure you can afford this". Which to any of you married guys or women out there probably understand that feeling and/or maybe have said that sentence. The only reason why the more family man was told to be the better life is because Jack was in denial and needed to learn that's what he was doing to himself. He was in a constant state of denial. Which isn't a bad lesson. Cause unless you're dead set on not getting married and having kids, then yes, it's true. A bachelor life with fast cars, lots of money that's yours alone, and sleeping with has many women as you want, can only bring you so much happiness.
I actually think you should give The Family Man a watch this Christmas season. Yes it was flaws, but it's still pretty good.
My final rating is, Good.
Well that about wraps it everything up. Come back on Saturday, Dec 6th, for my review of Five Nights at Freddy's 2. Until then, enjoy the rest of your day.
Alright, the long awaited sequel is finally here. Let's hope it's just as good as the first.
Zootopia 2 is animated buddy cop comedy movie and the sequel to 2016's Zootopia. Production and distribution was yet again done by Walt Disney Animation Studios and Walt Disney Pictures. Jared Bush is the only returning writer for the screenplay and he also directed with returning director Byron Howard.
The story is, Judy and Nick have been partners for the ZPD for one week and their clashing personalities are making their partnership very difficult. While trying to work out their issues especially after a botch smuggling ring, Judy thinks a snake was involved in the smuggling ring. Judy and Nick soon find this snake and before they know it their problems get even worse. Can Judy and Nick fix their personal problems and solve the case or will they fail and doom their friendship?
Initial Reaction
So it's a very simple explanation. I thought the first movie was really good and I wanted to see if the sequel was gonna be any better, even if we got two of the original crew.
Cons
I've got nothing.
Middle Ground
My only mix feelings are the story...again. First let's get the good out of the way first. I did enjoy how we explored Nick & Judy's friendship. We see what they agree on, what they disagree on, how their personalities clash with one another, what they mean to each other, and how they clash on their situation of being labeled fugitive and the villains wanting to kill them. Their bond and trying to work together is the heart of the story. Having said all of that where the story fumbles a bit is how we're revisiting old ground. Basically we got another prejudice themed storyline. I'd go into more detail but the best I can do is give hints. I mentioned a snake, and a snake is part a group of animals that start with r and rhymes with projectiles. So yeah, that's what the prejudice story focuses on now. And the only thing separating that prejudice storyline from the previous one is the conspiracy was bigger. So there's still a good story but we wind up with some familiar bits.
Pros
Now to the good stuff, starting with the pacing. Much like the first movie we get an easy to sit through movie. No time is wasted or anything. Then there's the humor. While I didn't find it as funny as the first, there was still plenty to laugh about which is why I'm not putting this part in the "Middle Ground" section. For instance, something that got a bigger laugh out of me then it should have was a little Ratatouille gag. The last thing I'll praise is the voice acting. Once again Jason Bateman and Ginnifer Goodwin's chemistry is the biggest highlight. Hearing them together again was joyful and whether it was a comedic scene or a real argument with their respected characters, these two and their performances are fantastic. But we also have newcomers like Ke Huy Quan who brings out a great amount of sympathy for his character Gary. Then there's Patrick Warburton, who I swear is one of the few actors who can get away with using the same voice over and over again and can still get a laugh out of everyone.
While the story does come with a repeat of a certain element from the previous film, this was still a really good sequel.
My final rating is, Good.
That's all for now. Come back on Monday, Dec 1st, where I'll start off the Christmas season with my Underrated Films review of The Family Man starring Nicolas Cage. Until then, enjoy the rest of your day.
Man, I can't believe the final season will be here soon. Which means my time reviewing this show will also be coming to an end. Oh well, before I ever get the chance to review the fifth and final season, let's look back at the fourth season.
Stranger Things 4 (as it's called onscreen) is the fourth season of Netflix's popular show. Said show was production and distributed by Netflix with this season consisting of nine episodes. The show is created by The Duffer Brothers.
The story is, it's March 1986 and it's been eight months since the events of the third season. At first everyone is doing their own thing. Whether it's playing Dungeons & Dragons, visiting girlfriends, or being part of the basketball team in the hopes of being seen as a cool guy instead of a geek. But then a string of brutal murders begin to spread across Hawkins. At first our heroes know it's part of the Upside Down, but they quickly learn it's not the Mind Flyer or some random Demogorgon. They find out it's not something but someone who lives in the Upside Down, and this evil is someone very powerful.
Negatives
I've got nothing.
Mix
The biggest mix bag comes from the pacing. Episodes 1-8 are all an hour with the ninth/final episode being two hours long. The reason being is we got multiple stories going on. We got Joyce and Murray with their Russia story, we got Mike, Will, Jonathan, and Argylle with their California to Nevada road trip storyline, we got Eleven's story arc, and we got our storyline in Hawkins. While it was nice to be travel to different locations as suppose to just being in Hawking, a lot of these stories feel like they didn't need to be as long as they were. Like the Russia story arc. That could've been like what, three...maybe four episodes? And we also had Eleven's storyline where without going into too many details, felt like a lot of stuff was repeated. Eleven gets sad because something bad happened thus she feels terrible, she failed at this task thus she feels terrible, Eleven discovers something shocking about her past and take a wild guess of how that made her feel? So while the overall story of this powerful new threat was interesting, and we get some very strong character depth, it still felt like a lot of fat could've been cut out.
Positives
One of the many pros is the production. Stranger Things has always had a very strong cinematic feel to this, but that still doesn't mean you can't praise the production. The cinematography is great, the special effects both CGI and practical look great, and I love the villain's design in this. It was both gross and yet really awesome at the same time.
Then there's the tone. While the show has always had a serious tone with a mix of more lighter moments, this time around while we still get a breather of some intense stuff, a lot of it was really dark. With the main theme of fears and losses driving the whole plot. Not to mention that ending that was also pretty dark. I wish I could go into more details, but regardless of old this season is I'm not gonna give anything away. But what I will say is the ending is not a happy one. Hell it's not even bittersweet.
The last thing I'll praise is the performances. Since I've praise them main times before I'll keep everything with the series regulars brief. The usual cast of Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Noah Schnapp, Caleb McLaughlin, Gaten Matarazzo and so forth, once again are incredible. This cast continues to shine and I can't wait to see what they've got for the fifth and final season. But I also want to give praise to Sadie Sink as Max. She was already great in her own right, but here she's given so much to do primarily cause Max has such a great story. While Sink still has Max play her usual headstrong self, I felt like she did incredible with her characters more vulnerable side especially with the episode of "Dear Billy". She killed it in that one. Now to wrap this part of the review up, I want to give praise to Joseph Quinn (who I imagine is now making a name for himself with Fantastic Four: First Steps) as Eddie Munson. I loved this character. Quinn provided tons of charm but also had a lot of tragedy as well. Which in return offered a whole new dynamic to our group of characters.
Season three wasn't really strong for me, but I think season four was definitely an improvement. Even if some storylines and their lengths really messed with the overall pacing of the show. But regardless of that, I think this was still very good.
My final rating is, Good.
So next month will be the start of the final season. Let's hope this show goes out with a bang. For now come back on Friday, Nov 28th, for my review of Zootopia 2. Why Friday? Well because Thursday will be Thanksgiving and I prefer not to work when I should be spending time with family especially during such a big holiday. Where during that time I'll probably be sleeping afterwards because of all of the food I'll be eating. Until then, enjoy the rest of your day and come Thursday I wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving. 🦃
Before we know it the sequel will be in theaters everywhere. So it's the same old story as before. Now let's look back at the first film shall we?
Zootopia is animated buddy comedy film that was produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios with distribution being done by Walt Disney Pictures. The story was written by Jared Bush and Phil Johnston and directed by Byron Howard and Rich Moore.
The story is, rookie cop Judy Hopps has been transferred to the wonderful city of Zootopia. At first she's given boring tasks like parking duty, but with the help of con man Nick Wilde they'll both try to figure why the predators of Zootopia have all of a sudden been going savage.
Negatives
I've got nothing.
Mix
Now let me get something straight first. I do find the story to be pretty good. I know nowadays we roll our eyes because every. single. piece. of. media wants to be or wants us to think it's some sort of sophisticated thesis or a nuance allegory. But at least Zootopia doesn't feel like it was talking down at its audience like a lot stories I've watched and/or read about. But even with the story being as good as it is, you can start to quickly piece together where the message and themes are going. Especially when Nick reveals his backstory. So yes, we got an entertaining story but let's not kid ourselves and act like it broke the mold.
Positives
Let's get the most obvious praise out of the way. The animation is incredible. Especially the city of Zootopia. Zootopia is gorgeous! There's beautiful visuals, the architecture has great bits of imagination, the details whether it's buildings or the fur on characters is spectacular, environments feel lived in, etc. The animation is amazing and it deserves it's spot as one of Disney's many best looking animated films.
Then there's the humor. This is a greatly funny movie. We all know the bit of the sloths being the ones to run the DMV, but there's also other funny bits as well. Like Judy's two screaming next door neighbors, there was also an "elephant in the room" bit that was pretty funny, and my personal favorite, Nick taking any chances he can to be a dick.
My last praise will go to the performances from Ginnifer Goodwin and Jason Bateman as Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde. These two can hold their own when their characters aren't together, but their chemistry is awesome. Their push and pull dynamic is perfect, whenever they tease each other is very charming, and you can tell they had a blast. Goodwin and Bateman's chemistry is the heart of the entire movie and I can't wait to see or since they're voicing acting I should say hear what they'll bring for the sequel.
While I don't think this movie is as one big thoughtful allegory as I heard many people make it out to be whether it was back in 2016 or now, I still do love Zootopia. I found it to be a wonderfully fun movie and you should give it a watch.
My final rating is, Great.
So that's all for now. Come back on Monday, Nov 24th, for another Look Back at review. Only this time I'll be reviewing the fourth season of Stranger Things. Until then, enjoy the rest of your day.
