Anthony's movie review: Zootopia

*walk of the theater* ...   Wow... What a-- Oh wait, i think i did a same reaction of Star Wars, but...   it...   was...   Awesome! :D



Hey everyone, my name is Anthony and welcome back to my movie review.

When i was prepared to watch Inside-out in 2015, i saw a trailer of Zootopia, which it may be a promising movie. I mean, i like Disney, i like anthropomorphic, what could possibly go wrong?

If you ask me, yes, i do like anthro, they're look either cool, handsome and pretty cute. I know they're plenty of people who loves the species that we make that are fictional that are original, some that are cliches and some that are....    to far for maturity... ^^;

Anyway, Zootopia is a 2016 Disney movie that was directed by Byron Howard and Rich Moore (The same guys who work with previous successful films like Wreck-it Ralph and Tangle.) and produced by Clark Spencer. But this isn't the only film what we got for this year, this is gonna be the second time that they release two films in this year, the first time was back in 2002 with Lilo and Stitch and Treasure Planet. Whats the second movie of this year you may ask? Its Moana, which il save it at November.

So, can this movie will be great to have another anthro since they did before, or is this movie that i'd watch a bad human movies?

Lets find out.


The story
It begins about a bunny girl name Judy Hopps who's dreaming to be a cop of Zootopia Police Department. Once she done it when she grew up, she finally work as a cop as "The first rabbit in ZPD" where she works as...  A parking duty. Yeah, its not as exciting as working as a lawyer in Montreal or New York. But not until she meets Nick Wilde who works with Finnick who's secretly a crime for selling a "pawpsicle" for money. Just then she heard about a missing of Mrs. Otterton which apparently he used to be friend with a scariest crime name Mr. Big, which he was turned into a savage predator to kill anyone, its up to Judy and Nick to find case to stop the savageness.

Now first of all, i though the story is about Judy tried to arrest Mr. Big, but i was probably wrong, instead, its all about finding the case of infection to turning into a predator. But how it does that? I won't explain the truth, because spoilers... ^^;

But either way,i find it a pretty original story. Yes, i know its all about cops solving a dangerous case, but its much more interesting in this movie. It also have a motivational message about a predator and prey or some others, which is a well written dialogue, they did a great job of that, if anyone wants to learn about the animals. As for the gags in this movie, it was pretty funny at many parts of this movie, especially in the scene where Judy and Nick visit to DMV with sloths, which the best part and the most laughable moments we've ever seen, i mean i was laughing out loud with viewers in Cinema. XD

So the plot in this game is well written that it has, interesting motivational and fun gags.

The production
Im pretty sure that you're like "Its a Disney CGI of goodness and nothing else to say". But it has the best work, like the character designs are pretty good what they look like in anthro, they look almost like in real life, but with cartoons with a great textures of fur and skins. The background is absolutely beautiful with nature and the fictional city, the city itself looks colorful like in real-life city such as Shanghai, Chicago and some others. As for the animation movements, it has a great job how to move or portray of animals like size, weights and abilities.

The animation of this movie is well done for the textures and movements.

The characters
These characters are quiet likable as Inside-out (kinda...)

First is Judy Hopps, a cop of ZPD from Bunnyburrow (Voiced by a Ginnifer Goodwin. Aka Mary Margaret/Snow white from Once upon of time). I can say that she's my fav character in the movie, she's optimistic, heroic cop and she's quiet adorable as a bunny. We always dream to work in department to save the city like her. And Ginnifer did a great job her main role.

Next there's Nick Wilde, a who's a con artist (Voiced by Jason Bateman). He's also an interesting character, he's caring, charismatic, intelligent and funny. I mean he almost steal the show that we love to watch for fun. Speaking of role, he was originally to be a main protagonist, but he was changed to a support. Oh well, at least Jason is also did a great job.

Then there's Chief Bogo, the cape buffalo who's the main officer of ZPD "(voiced by Idris Elba). He's much as being a big boss in the movie, but he's highly prejudiced of realistic, he's Intimidating, serious and he's always doesn't give a damn, mainly he cares of heavy-weight mammals on duty unlike Judy. He is damn cool and Idris has an amazing role of voice acting.

There's a few other characters in the movie, there's Leodore Lionheart who's an interesting character as a mayor, but a small appearance, Duke Weaselton is a crook for robbing foods and he's also funny (And yes, his name was given from a character with a same name from Frozen and they're voiced by Alan Tudyk), Flash is a slow sloth, but he's the funniest character in the movie, because of his slow personality (XD), Mr. Big who's the most fearsome crime in the movie, but not a main antagonist and there's Gazelle, a famous pop star in Zootopia (she was voiced by the famous pop star Shakira, nice choice. :D).

These characters are great, cute and funny when we see them in the movie.

And now for my final opinion of this movie.
Overall, Zootopia is definitely a best movie i've ever seen. Great story, amazing animation and a fun characters. I can easily think that this could be the best film of 2016, well if not THE best film, because they're plenty of them that il watch that its either great, disappointed or for the worst. If you guys love Disney or anthropomorphic, this one is for you. Its one of the greatest that i've seen.

It definitely deserve to get a 10/10. Go watch it, its always a must watch film. ^^

And btw, you think il end with a happy ending review? *start to feel serious* Not really, because next time, il going to see one film this is going to be serious for my anticipation of good or bad, which its going to be a movie where two heroes is going to fight each other to the death if you've seen a multiple of trailer with a Man of tomorrow and The cape crusader confront together. Unless you'll easily thinking yourself "You're going to see Batman V Superman?", yes... I will...
But il save it for two weeks later, because of my grand-parents meeting of Happy Easter. So il be patient to find out.

So this ends of my review, if you have your opinion or any suggestions, let me know in the comments bellow.

Thanks for reading and im Anthony, signing out. ;)

*meanwhile of CD HQ*

Corporate Driver: *sigh* why does he review a lot of good movie... Im sick and tired of all of his bullS***! I better have to make something to screw him up with disappointments and S***y one. In fact, im gonna give one that he'll like...

Anthony's movie review: Deadpool movie

Warning: The following review contain, strong language, violence and nudity. And spoiler alert!! Reader's discretion advised.



Hey everyone, my name is Anthony and welcome to my first movie review of 2016.

Well, this is my second Marvel review since i reviewed Ant-Man. But today, im going to review a movie that has been waited for every fans to see a mercenary with his mouth on the big screen. Its none other than....  Dead--

Deadpool: Deadpoool! :D

What--?! What are you doing here?

Deadpool: Well, i was just waited to appear when you're building about about me, right Tony?

Its Anthony and im not Tony Stark. Anyway, yes its Deadpool. The man who work as an anti-hero to fight over bad guys for his dirty job.

Deadpool: Like my Dick on gangs face?

Ehhh... Yeah... ^^; But its not until it was promoted in 2015 that he's finally announced that he will be in his own movie. Which its gonna be my review today. ;)

Deadpool: Alright! *run away and quickly come back with popcorn and soda pop* Go ahead, talk about the movie that i was been. :3

Ok then. Anyway, Deadpool is a 2016 action movie that was based on a comic with a same name. It was directed by Tim Miller, which is his directing debut. But this isn't the first time he worked a movie, the first one is The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo in 2011 as a designer. And it was produced by Simon Kinberg, Lauren Shuler Donner and Ryan Reynolds Deadpool??  Why did you lined at Ryan Reynolds?

Deadpool: Because i don't even know who the Fuck is Ryan Reynolds. Continue, please?

Um... Ok? Anyway, this made me raised the question. Is this a movie that make Deadpool win an Oscar, or is this movie that i'd rather have a cancer with skin damaged?

Lets find out.


The story.
The plot is about Deadpool started as Wade Wilson, which it starts normal that he hangs out with his gambler friend name Weasel and banging his ex-girlfriend name Vanessa (aka Cpoycat). But one year later, he suffered a terminal cancer, with a result that his proposal of wedding with Vanessa will be a major delayed and left her.. He was looking to find a cure to save his life with a help with Ajax and Angel Dust. But the help didn't work well that they tricked him with a serum of mutant genes and torture him with a deadly oxygen to give him a skin damaged. As a result, he broke out for his revenge that he discovered that Ajax is  Francis Freeman. As he escaped, he was prepared to become a crime fighter with a black and red spandex, a full or weapons and duo swords with a name Deadpool.

Deadpool: Yeeeaah! Thats my cool story, bro!

Well, even though the story is good, but its probably formulaic.

Deadpool: Formulaic? Why?

You see, the plot itself is nothing else to say. Mainly because the story should've avoid a cliches stuff. I mean, yeah, it has a cool action with a sense of humor, but you could've  make something original than using an obvious plot elements.

Deadpool: Yeah right, its my movie, i want to make whatever i want to. >_>

Right...


The production
I gotta say, the production of this film was actually pretty good to see. It has a great work of a part of CGI for Deadpool's eyes, the close up of his bullets and even the performance of Colossus, its due to the fact it was a work of motion-capture. Just to let you know that as we expect in this movie, it has many things, violence, sex, action and...

Deadpool: Mah Asss! *shows his butt at me* X3

Uhh Yeah...  Speaking of his dignity, in one scene where Deadpool fight against Ajax in fire, Wade is in commando in fighting, i mean you can nearly see his wang hanging out, no joke... ^^;  As for the gags, it works well for laughing with a lot of 4th wall lines or evev my favorite part where he cuts his right hand off from Colossus and Warhead to flipped the bird. XD

Deadpool: Yeah, all i want is work myself to beat Francis down, but i kinda felt like to bring them for my backup plan, because i always forgot to bring my stupid guns! XC

Yeah--

Deadpool: But luckily, i still have my lovely duo swords. :D

Thats what i though. Anyway, the special effects was pretty good to see the power from Warhead's ability and even Deadpool's regeneration body. Which i think you explained why you have a same mutant gene from Wolverine, right?

Deadpool: Well Duh!

Ah ok. The production is pretty good to look, especially that it has an hand drawn animation at the end credit.

Deadpool: and im also plan to make a sequel with my best friend Cable.

Yeah, i was aware from the announcement.

The characters
Im pretty sure you all know the main star of Deadpool.

Deadpool (aka Wade Wilson) was played by... *clear my throat* himself... He did a great job for acting with a tons of sense of humor with a lot of 4th walls and a sex jokes. He always made me watch his movie that i wanted. He made me laugh and smile. ^^   He did appeared in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, but its not a kind of Deadpool what we want to see, but im kinda ok for it. ^^;

Next is Vanessa Carlysle (played by Morena Baccarin. Aka Dr. Leslie Thompkins from Gotham). She pretty mush as a damsel in distress. But she may do an action, but i won't tell an example. Its kinda disappointed that i want to see her in action, but its all because of a cliche's story. Even though she did a great job for her role.

Then there's Francis Freeman (aka Ajax), the main antagonist in the movie (played by Ed Skrein). He's a member of Weapon X that he created Deadpool from torture. Even though i may never heard of him, but he may be an interesting character. But always tell Deadpool  that he prefers as Ajax than Francis, but meh.

Along with Ajax, there's Angel Dust (played by Gina Carano). Even though she's a stereotypical assistant to do whatever she does from Ajax, but at least she's pretty badass with super strength, stamina and speed. I mean, i was wondering if she's gonna fight against Captain Marvel, it will be an intense fight with powerful girls.

Deadpool: Me too, it will be a great idea for her!

We don't know if its true or not, because her movie is still in development.

Then there's two members of X-men, such as Colossus (aka Piotr Nikolaievitch Rasputin), a russian who has the ability to turn himself into a big metal human. (He was voiced by Stefan Kapičić and performed by Andre Tricoteux and T. J. Storm for a motion capture) I gotta say, he's an interesting character, he's big and hard of steel. Even though he's sort of play like Cable, but its a different story. At least Stefan had a good work of voice acting.

finally there's Negasonic Teenage Warhead, who's Colossus partner with atomic power. (Played by Brianna Hildebrand). In the original comic, she has the ability of precognition and Telepathy. But they decided to change almost everything, her personality, her backstory and her power. So, she's like a female version of Cannonball. Its kinda shame, but im ok for it.

And now for my--

Deadpool: Sorry Mr. Anthony, i felt like to finish the story by saying that i kill Francis to save my love Vanessa.

Dude! You spoiled it during my review! Its not fair!!

Deadpool: Whatever, its my movie, i wanted to explain how my movie is all about.

Oh my god, you're gonna ruining my review... XC

Deadpool: Whatever, you're pretty much being a crybaby as Uwe Boll.

*sigh* I hate you...

Deadpool: Oh, i hate you too.

Anyway, my final opinion of this film.
Overall, Deadpool the movie is a great movie, great acting, fun action, funny as hell and a well done production. But the story was suffered of cliche of a hero saving damsel in distress from Weapon X. I mean i really wish if there's a story about Ajax bring more of his members to taking over New York of Canada. But of course, it was considered a Box-office success in Rated-R superhero movie with $673.2 million.

Deadpool: Oh sweet! That means i earn a 600 million dollars! :D

Since i like Deadpool, i felt like to give this movie a 9/10. ;)

Deadpool: Aw man, you're so sweeeet for a big rating.  Wanna see me naked? :3

Wait, what?! Nonono--

Deadpool: *bring his image of him in naked*

Oh god-- *gag and start to throwing up in my barf bucket*

Deadpool: Hehe, hope you enjoy it and here's your new poster. 

Ugh... Why... *look at my "poster", that its a Deadpool version of my DA ID 2016*  Really?

Deadpool: Don't forget like and subscribe! Woopwoopwoopwoop *runs way*

*sigh* I better review a Disney movie...
