Paul dixon (6 KP) rated Aladdin (2019) in Movies

Hi all. I must admit I , like a lot of others, was a bit skeptic when the first trailer for this appeared. My wife downright refused to watch it as the original animated version is one of her favourites. However she eventually came round and we popped along to give it a whirl.
While comparisons to the original are inevitable, this version should be watched as a stand alone movie and not a reboot. It’s great fun from start to finish. It looks great, obviously a lot of money has been spent on sets, costumes and effects, and Will Smith is great as the genie. He doesn’t try to out do robin williams, he makes the character his own and does his own thing.
The one thing that does let it down are the new songs. They aren’t in the same league as the other, more well known songs and to me seem forced into the movie. I had forgot all about them before leaving the cinema, they definitely won’t be held in such high esteem as the other songs, a friend like me etc.
Overall go see it, make up your own mind and forget the trailer even exists

Awix (3310 KP) rated Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters (2017) in Movies
Feb 13, 2018 (Updated Mar 7, 2018)
Now, there's nothing wrong in principle with doing an animated Godzilla movie; most of the problems with this one arise from the fact it is largely unrecognisable as such.
Earth is abandoned due to excessive growth in the giant monster population; timey-wimey plot device means the survivors return twenty years later and find thousands of years have gone past and the place has reverted to a primeval state; the ecology is now distinctly Godzillaesque. Has their technology improved to the point where they can stand a chance against the Big G himself?
Reasonable, if somewhat convoluted premise is torpedoed by a persistent mood of nihilistic misery and absence of likeable human characters; Godzilla is largely absent, and mostly passive when he does appear. You want to see Godzilla demolishing Tokyo and fighting other monsters, not mooching about in a jungle, anyway. A good way of catching up on recent tropes in mainstream SF (this is just a nice way of saying the film is rather derivative), some interesting designs, but on the whole this is hard work to watch. English subtitles seem to have been written using Google Translate, which only adds to the essentially frustrating nature of the experience.

The best version of the best Beat 'Em Up game!
I can't praise this game enough! I loved and spent a lot of time, money on the arcade back in the day. While there had been many versions ported to consoles before, this was miles better!
The PS2 version had very chunky graphics, this version looked exactly like the original arcade! Large well animated characters with sharp details.
The arcade game came about between Street fighter and the classic Street fighter 2 games, and it shows. Though this went for a sideways scrolling beat 'em-up game. Even today it probably hasn't been bettered. Although this version was for the Megadrive, Mega-CD add on. Possibly the best game for it.
The cherry on the top was an extra mode not on the arcade. A time attack for 1 or 2 players to take on wave after wave of villians to see how many you could beat in the time allowed.
So this was even better than having the arcade in your home. You can get a version on Xbox 360 as a classic... But it looks like a port of the PS2 version unfortunately. Leaving this as the best version of the classic game.

Awix (3310 KP) rated Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) in Movies
Jan 2, 2019
It seems only appropriate to close out the year which saw the passing of Stan Lee and Steve Ditko with a film celebrating their most successful creation; the result is a movie which appears to be under-performing at the box office simply because it's animated (a regrettable prejudice which I sometimes suffer from myself). On one level this is yet another Spider-Man origin story, the novelty value comes from the fact that the Spider-Man in question is the Ultimate version (Miles Morales) and the plot involves a hole being blown in the universe and numerous other Spider-People from parallel worlds being sucked through. Some of these are very weird.
Rock-solid storytelling, huge visual imagination and some very good jokes come together to make a film which works really well on virtually every level; there's perhaps not enough of the Nicolas Cage Spider-Man but you can't have everything. Not sure where they're going to go with the sequel (the novelty value of this film makes it a tough act to follow) but it does at least suggest possibilities for a meta-franchise based just on Spider-Man. A worthy and touching tribute to Stan and Steve.

I love the original, and I looked forward to seeing how they would take a much loved classic and make it live action. While it was cute, it was not good enough to stand anywhere near the original. There were several small changes that I could live with, but then there were a few others that should have never been changed.
First off, they took out the Siamese cats. Those cats are a big part of the scene, and they sing a jingle everyone remembers. Putting in a totally different pair of cats and changing the jingle was huge disappointment. Second, they totally took away the beaver. Was the beaver really that important to the plot line? No, not really, but it was a fun aspect that added some humour to the whole muzzle thing. The last thing that irritated me, being a dog person, when Trusty finally gets the scent of the dogcatcher, he didn't bay once. He should have been loud and proud when he picked up that scent.
All in all, worth seeing once just to say you've seen it, but in the long run, I'll stick with the original animated version.
