The live action Kim Possible (2019) ends up more two-dimensional than the animated original
There’s none of the wit of the cartoon in the writing or characterisation and it falls awkwardly between trying to introduce the property to a new audience while honouring the source material. In doing so, it rewrites the origins of several characters, eliminates others and presents a story that undermines its title character in favour of a new one...

Landmark film
A landmark film for Hollywood that has a great significance for the industry.
To the film and I did worry it might not quite live up to the hype. Thankfully I can say it is a very good film for many reasons. It has some great action scenes, Sfx, for the suit especially. Also featuring a strong complex villain and with some funny moments. One of the better stand alone character films from the MCU.

An addicting Hulu original

The costumes and scenery in this show are pretty lovely. I love the storyline of 2 feuding brothels and the shenanigans of the harlots that live (and work) in them. The story is never low on action, although I do find one or two of the plots to be a bit too dramatic. But that's to be expected from a Hulu original. The show is as good as a Netflix show in my opinion.

Disappointing
I always enjoyed the Addams family, from the original TV series to the 2 live action films, I was hoping for more from this animation, it had a great cast, even the look and feel of it seemed right. However the finished film is terrible in my opinion, its a terrible story that feels very disjointed, I didnt like the way characters acted and I felt this was just a recycled predictable story

Bad taste humour at times
It is funny
The Muppets is definately isn't....
Only watched based on the trailer on Netflix and have to say I wasn't disappointed... Don't expect an academy award winning film and you won't be upset.

The puppets fit in with the live actors and the production works well. The humour is often in bad taste but not offensive unless you are one of those people who take offense just for the sake of it...

It was an enjoyable way to pass the time and I did find myself laughing out loud even though I was on my own while watching it and that doesn't happen often...

Absolutely nailed the whole feel of the suicide squad and adding Jared Leto's Joker on the side, put the final cherry on the cake. The only let down for DC, was casting Ben Affleck as Batman, though we are saved the torture of his presence, as his appearance in this movie is relatively small. It's not often DC make a good live action movie, but this one does hold the ranks.

I was a huge fan of the original. The live action remake is faithful, maybe too faithful especially given the director is bare knuckle boxing fan Guy Ritchie. Will Smith is good as Genie. He carries the comedy and romance well. The actress playing Jasmine is a revelation especially in her big solo. My only complaint which is not about the film just a preference is they should have taken a risk and turned the musical numbers into full Bollywood productions.

The Reasonably Goood Wall
I actually put this on with the wife to watch as i thought it would be a film i could snooze through, but it actually hooked me,
The fighting scenes were clever and interesting,
The ideas behind the wall the reasons why an american would be in china i could live with,
It was predictable for alot of it but with this kind of action film it a comfortable watch

What?
Another poor attempt on the Street Fighter 2 computer game to live action. I originally thought this was a film but actually it's a short series, 2 hours 30 minutes in total.
Supposedely showing how Ken and Ryu learnt the same fighting style. There is so much potential for street fighter 2 films and stories, but so far including this odd offering they have all been really poor!
The wait for a decent street fighter 2 film continues... Hadoken!!

really enjoyed this live action remake of sleeping beauty, AJ is perfectly cast as Maleficent and the rest of the cast are spot on too, the story is strong enough to carry through and keep you engaged. My only issue is that Disney can't even let a bad guy be completely bad, its like they all need a redeeming feature, bring back the evil bad guys! Lol
