Movie Review: Coco

DISCLAIMER: THIS REVIEW HAS NO CONNECTION OF A STORYLINE REVIEW. READERS DISCRETION IS ADVISED.



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

From a few months ago, i talked about "Cars 3", a sequel that although it was considered to be improvement, but its not as perfect that it use the same story from the first movie, but with a new plot element.

Which it makes me wondering if their second film would better or disappointing us after "Cars 3"? Thats exactly il talk about the film that came out recently.

"Coco" is a 2017 Pixar animation film that was written/directed by Lee Unkrich, produced by Darla K. Anderson, written by Adrian Molina and Matthew Aldrich.

This is one of the film that it was announced from a few months ago that we're curiously find out about it. Which this animated movie included the theme of Mexican's "Day of the dead". In other words, its an animated movie with Mexican's culture, which i like that idea that i was popped in and find out. And as you already know, this is not the only film has Mexican's culture, there's a film called "Book of Life", which it was actually good, but i never seen this movie.

So, with all that said, will this movie holds up from Mexican's culture, or is this film ended up being foreshadowed by Cars 3 and Book of life?

Lets find out

The Story
It began from the past where the late great great grandmother named Imelda had a relation with a famous musician, but he moved away to travelling in various countries. Because of that, she decided to banning musical stuff and focused with shoemaking. Fast-forward in present time(?), we have our main great great grandson named "Miguel" who's been dreaming to become musician like the late star named " Ernesto de la Cruz". But he realized that Ernesto has a same connection from his great great parents, but he got rejected by his grandmother Elena, believing musical is cursing the family and destroyed his guitar. Devastated from rejection, he ran away as if he was desperate to find out about his great great grandfather. After entering the cemetery, he grabbed a musician's guitar to play it, he realized that after playing it, he was transported to the other world, which happened to be "Land of the dead", since he was entered, he's going to find out about his great great grandfather.

I gotta say, i find the story itself is actually fascinating, its not just for the family or even the music, its more like about remembering the old time that we probably forgot about it. It is pretty sad that forgot what happen to the past about our late parents. But having idea of banning stuff that we like in the past might be hurting our pas that we easily forgot about. Though i may think the story feels a bit similar from the previous Pixar film "Finding Dory". Where "Finding Dory" is about being forgotten about family. In Coco, its about finding whether Ernesto is a father for a song or not. There's a subplot about the song "Remember me" for not only about finding the father, its for dedication to Grandmother Coco, but we not sure who did it for a tribute, but i won't spoil it for the truth.

The story is impressive and yet emotional that we understand about forgotten past that nobody want to believe or not.

The Animation
Like i said, its another great work of animation by Pixar. But in this movie, its not only great looking, but also pretty colorful since "Inside Out". For example, the design of "Land of the dead" looks pretty cool and colorful. There a lot of apartments with colors, i love it. As for the real world (aka Human world), its also looks pretty cool and nicely done for how Mexican's look like. As for the characters, for humans, they look pretty cool like previous Pixar films. And for the dead people in "Land of the dead", they look fascinated, but yeah, i know they're basically like a cartoony skeletons, but it looks nice and sometimes colorful from their body parts, though sometimes some female skeletons can be a bit fan-service-ish from the hips, its kinda weird that i looked at, but i digress. And for the work of animation, it works pretty nice for how the human moves, sometimes fast-pace and interesting effects like lighting, fading and colorful change.

The animation is amazingly done of Mexican cultures with colors, the designs and how nice and smooth of animation.

The characters
When it comes to the characters, i find some of them are quite interesting.

First is our main boy Miguel Rivera (voiced by young actor Anthony Gonzalez ), its obvious to tell he's a typical kid who conquer his dream to become famous for music. But he's not a typical dreamer, but he was fascinated from his great great grandfather, because he loves musical, despite that again, his family claimed that it causes to ruining their parentship for moving away to vanished. But to be fair, he's rather an interesting kid and i can say Anthony Gonzalez did  a nice work of his role and i think its the first time as a main role.

Next, we have Hector (voiced by Gael García Bernal). He's portray as a trickster who's trying to hide his identity for travelling in living world as a ghost in "Day of the dead". Which at first, i though he's gonna be like an out of context character of the movie, but in reality, he's a character for a plot device for helping Miguel for a music for his supposed great great grandfather. I find him good character and for the fun fact, Gael is not the only language that he voiced his character, but he also provided his role in Spanish language. Nice touch.

Then we have Elena Rivera (voiced by Renee Victor). She sorta like Imelda for protecting her family with banning music for obvious reason. Which at first, i usually hated her, because of over-protection from the "curse of family". Despite Renee did a nice work of her role, but she's easily my least favorite for her over-protective with banning.

Speaking of that, we have Imelda (voiced by Alanna Ubach), who's not only the one who first banning music, but she's also a matriarch of Rivera Family. Unlike Elena, i find her to be rather interesting, not because for her attention of music is bad, but its just that despite her death, its nice to see her in "Day of the Dead". Though she sorta have a sympathy for Miguel for music, but thats a different story, which again, i won't spoil it.

Speaking of sympathy, we have Mama Coco (voiced by Ana Ofelia Murguía). That lady is the one that i probably feel sorry for her, which she may know about her father, but she lost her memory from the past almost everything, since she's nearly dying. I mean, its not easy to find about the past, due to the issue of separation family.

Finally we have Ernesto de la Cruz (voiced by Benjamin Bratt). As you know, he's a famous musician that it got inspiration from Miguel. Even though he had an unexpected death in his stage of "Remember me". I find him to be interesting, for charming and love for the fans, especially for the dead people. And i think its the second time that i saw him since MCU's "Doctor Strange".

They're few other characters, most notable is various late parents of Rivera like Julio (voiced by Alfonso Arau), Rosita (voiced by Selene Luna ), Victoria (voiced by Dyana Ortellí) and brothers like Felipe and Oscar (both of them voiced by Herbert Siguenza). Although there's few mores aside of Rivera Family, especially some of them are voiced by John Ratzenberger (aka Hamm from Toy Story) and even Gabriel Iglesias ("DAAAYUUM!! 0_0"  I always wanna do that. XD)

Some of the characters are likable for their truth, personalities and others. Even though some that i don't like.

And now for my final opinion of this film.
Overall, Coco is another Pixar's successful movie they've ever done. With beautiful story, amazingly colorful animations and the characters are pretty good. I can say the Mexicans will enjoy this movie for the not just for cultures, but also feels similar for looking back from the past that we missed a lot, despite if we're a part of parents, we like to keep in privacy in public, until later or not. Despite that, i can say its the best animated film of 2017. But if not THE best film of the year, since few months ago, i enjoyed Logan with 10/10 for a good respect to our legendary actor's final role. But will Coco will be better than Logan, or it'll get foreshadowed by "Star Wars: The Last Jedi".

Oh btw, you're probably wondering about Disney's short film called "Olaf's Frozen Adventure"? I can its a nice short. But my problem is WE GET IT!! FROZEN 2 WAS ALREADY ANNOUNCED TO 2019!! IT WOULD'VE BEEN OK TO PUT IT IN 2018!!!

Sorry!! Sorry, i lost my patient before Coco, im so sorry about my temper of losing patients, its just unprofessional. I supposed to be positive at the end of my review.  So either way, il give this short 8/10.

Anyway, il give Coco a perfect 10/10. Go watch it if you love Pixar and even Mexican cultures.

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

Thanks for reading, and im Anthony, signing out.

Movie Review: Justice League

Warning: This review contains Spoiler for the story (Except the final act). Readers Discretion is advised.

*Previously of Movie reviews 2017*

Bryan Emmerich: Well, that was actually a great one.

Mystica: Wow, thats pretty cool.

Bryan Emmerich: So, i guess we're only have one comic book remain. *picks up "Justice League Movie"* So now we got another one, but it was on DC Universe. Since we got a good one like "Wonder woman", lets hope its gonna be good too, right? *opens it up and looks at it*

*present time, at 2 hours later*

Bryan Emmerich: ... *sigh*  I would've been good potential, but it disappoints again...  And, maybe its better than Batman V Superman...?

*Review starts*



Greetings everyone, my name is Bryan Emmerich and welcome back to Movie Review.

Last year, we saw "Batman V Superman" which is the film that it disappoints us so bad for the waste of potential, with questionable story, production is just a teasing for how to look good like people like to talk about graphics than the gameplay and some of the characters would've done better. Then a few months ago, we saw Wonder Woman and it was surprisingly good that we're very happy it may considered to be a redemption, right?

"Justice League" is a 2017 DC Superheroes movie that was directed by Zack Snyder (Also wrote the story), produced by Charles Roven, Deborah Snyder, Jon Berg and Geoff Johns and written by Chris Terrio and Joss Whedon.

This is the film that many fans we wanna see a group of DC heroes on the big screen, especially that we've seen a fan-made videos that we really wish if it happens. However during the film development, it had a lot of issues for causing a delayed production. They originally attended to do part 1 and 2, but they changed it for plenty of reasons. The most recent is the second part is gonna be the focus of Batman, but Ben Affleck was about to stepped down of his portrayal of The Dark Knight, which he'll be replaced by different actor and also stepped down while developing another standalone Batman movie. And another reason is that Zack's daughter sadly passed away that he hired Joss Whedon in order for more writing, co-directing and even reshooting.

So, with all that said for the delayed an a dream come true to DC fans, will this movie holds up for Justice, or is this film gonna be suffer-able like Batman V Superman?

Lets find out.

The Story
It takes place sometimes after the death of Superman (Oh yeah, Spoiler alert if you haven't seen Batman V Superman), many people was depressed that The Man of Steel is gone. Many heroes like Batman and Wonder Woman work as a hero to facing against crimes and several villains. However when Diana Prince meets Bruce Wayne, she told about the main villain "Steppenwolf", where he his goal is to capturing three cubes called "Mother Boxes" to combining together for a dark energy on Earth, but he was being banished by the heroes of Amazons, Atlanteans, Olympian Gods and Green Lantern Corp (Wait what?!) to keep those boxes away in verious locations to keep safe like Themyscira, Atlantis and some unknown location. And due to Superman's death, the boxes is triggered that Steppenwolf is coming back for his plan B from "Darkseid". So, its up to Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Aquaman and Cyborg for facing at Steppenwolf.

Though its an interesting story though kinda typical story of heroes, but here's the problem, the story ended up being rush, i mean its just that it start to explain about the plan, and then it changed that we introduce the other heroes. Like come on, just slow down that we can meet some others later on. But the one part that it pinches me is the subplot where our heroes decided to brought Superman back alive in the Second act. I mean Why?! Why did they brought him back early?! Like it would've been ok to bring him back in the third act, but instead, they're like "Ugh, we're too weak, lets him Superman back alive". I mean, i know its because they wanted him back for the second Standalone Superman movie, but come on, this is just the rushed story of S*** load of F***!!

The plot of this movie would've going slow down, even though that they brought one character alive too soon before the third act. Talk about a thin plot...

The production
To be fair, the production itself of this movies is rather alright to tell for how it looks. The action scene is pretty cool, intense, but it kinda went short. I mean, if you've seen the previous Superhero films, you can see the action sequence goes long for like a quarter of hours and also fun. But here, the action scene is like it goes for a minutes. They're only have about seven action scenes in the movie, which to be fair, some of them are fun and simple, but other is just ended up waste of time of the heroes come to keep the boxes. And btw, this movie was developed over 300 million dollars of budget, thats about like two times of budgets like either 120 or 150 million dollars. But it made me wanna ask a question: "ARE YOU SURE THAT THIS IS A 300 MILLION DOLLAR MOVIE!?". I mean, if you wanna talk about the CGI effects, it looks either good and others ended up look cheap that its almost it belongs to a video game. Its as if they forgot to finalize the effects before make it to the theater. Like for example, when you look at Superman, they edited his face without facial hairs, which its just plain ugly to look at, unless you counted the appearance of Steppenwolf, he looks like he's rejected boss of superhero video game for a poor quality of its face of the rest of body or armors. As for the costume design, although they brought back from previous films, but they look pretty cool, which i like their designs. However the appearance of Cyborg was done in motion capture, because his body armor is also done with CG, which it looks not bad. But other times, the movie also have a product placement of Mercedes from the first act, its as if they're trying to commercializing the cars from German company in the movie. So maybe they like seeing Lewis Hamilton as a 4-times world champion in Formula 1.

The production itself looks ok which at least some of the costumes looks great and also getting a bit lighter to make more interesting than before that went dark and serious, but it would've been better IF they fix the problem before releasing it to the cinema. And talk about a waste of budget that they spent.

The characters
If you've seen the characters in the movie, im sure you know some are either likable and others are probably forgettable.

First is Ben Affleck's Batman, Aka Bruce Wayne. Though he's doing ok for his role, but he may not as good of his role of Batman than Michael Keaton or even Christian Bale. Don't give me wrong, he did a nice work of acting, even though its slightly weak. Whether you love or hate him, he's rather average that i can describe him. But this maybe Ben Affleck's last role of Batman before moved on.

And then we have Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman, Aka Diana Prince. She's easily a likable hero in the film, being serious Amazonian warrior and a great performance from Gal. Even though she's an antiquities dealer and acquaintance of Wayne.

And now, lets talk about the newcomers in the movie that we have.

First is "Flash" aka Barry Allen (played by Ezra Miller), to be fair, he's rather interesting one, as he maybe the young member of the group of heroes. And the effects where he uses "Super-speed", its actually pretty cool to see him disappeared in electricity, which its sorta like a teleportation, unless where he moves normally in slow motion, but again, its his speed ability. And, i think Miller did a nice work of his role.

Next we have Aquaman, aka Arthur Curry (played by Jason Momoa). He's another interesting character. Because his role as Aquaman fits in very well, since he's a Hawaiian actor. Which im pretty sure they're trying to make him look similar from the cartoon Justice League in 2001, for making him little bit serious and badass, but without decapitating his arm. Although it has a mention moment where he talks to fishes, even though it didn't happen in the movie. Oh well, at least Jason did a nice work.

And finally we have Cyborg, aka Victor Stone (played by Ray Fisher). For those you may not know, he started as a man who got horribly wounded from the incident that he's nearly died, until his father revived him with mechanical in order to let him live, which its kinda depressing, but at least he's safe to come back alive. Even though when he was first appeared, he's started as a sympathetic hero from his passed of incident and embarrassment for his look, which is understandable. And then he changed that he turned away from traumatized passed to become a hero with Justice League. He has cool stuff he has, since we're in the new generation of digital that he can look around the internet, looking the map and even hacking. For me, he may not as interesting than Flash or Aquaman, but he's rather ok.

As for Henry Cavill's Superman, he's almost pretty much like neutral whether he';s a hero or not. But he has been changed to be less serious, which im kinda glad. But again, i wish he could be revived in the third act than the second act.

As for the villain Steppenwolf (played by Ciarán Hinds). He's an alien military officer from Apokolips (The name of his planet is gonna be a huge risk.) where as i told before, his mission is to capture three "Mother Boxes" to taking over Earth for Darkseid. Like Cyborg, his appearance was done in motion capture, which they want him to be look slightly similar of Liam Neeson in  "A Monster Calls", but like i complaint before, he looks pretty ugly for the quality. Not only that, but he's easily the most forgettable villain i've ever seen, as he's portrayed as "laid-back" bad guy of being old and tired. As a result, they made him look silly for all the wrong reasons. I like come on, Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor is more likable than Steppenwolf.

As for the rest of the characters, there's not much else if you've seen before like Amy Adams's Lois Lane and Jeremy Irons (aka Scar from The Lion King) as Alfred. But one character that im surprised is commissioner James Gordon played by J.K. Simmons, aka Jonah Jameson from Sam Raimi's Spider-man.

And now its time for my conclusion of this movie.
Overall, this movie is probably a waste of time and money that they spent while developing, which is basically nearly above average movie, with poorly stories for rushing reason, nearly bellow average productions and some of the characters are kinda likable but the villain is the worst part of the movie. Talk about a waste of potential that it would've been a decent movie or even good like "Wonder Woman movie", but i can say its sorta better than Batman V Superman, but neither of them are disappointed. And not to mention that if you guys already know, the movie has a war of negative and positive from the fans and the critics, especially the fans are bashing at RottenTomato.com, because they can;t take their opinion. Which again, we can criticize whatever/whenever we want in public or not. So stop take the blame over the critics with low rating. Anyway, if you guys are a fan of DC superheroes, maybe this one if for you. If you're like me, you better stick to "Wonder Woman movie".

So, il give this movie 5.5/10.

Well, im done for my movie review, if you guys have opinion or any suggestions, give a comment bellow.

Thanks for reading, until next time.

*review ends*

*review starts*


Greetings everyone, my name is Bryan Emmerich and welcome back to movie reviews.

From a few months ago, i talked about "Spider-Man Homecoming", a movie featuring our friendly neighborhood hero on the big screen in third time after Sam Raimi's Spider-man movies and "The Amazing Spider-Man" movies. So after we talk about Web-swinging boy, we're talking about the God of Thunder himself, Thor.

Thor is a superhero in Marvel that was based on Norse Mythology with a same name, a God of Thunder who carries a hammer called "Mjolnir" with thunder power, flight like a helicopter and disguised as umbrella for secret identity. He was considered to be the mightiest hero of Marvel and interesting concept based on mythology. Thanks for the existence of "Marvel Cinematic Universe", they made a movie based on Thor. The first one simply called "Thor" came out in 2011 and it was considered to be great. Then two years later, we have "Thor: The Dark world" and it didn't do very well for the critics. So after four years later, they decided to make a third installment of Marvel's God of Thunder, with the result, it was shockingly awesome.

"Thor: Ragnarok" is a 2017 Marvel movies that was directed by Taika Waititi, produced by Kevin Feige and written by Eric Pearson, Craig Kyle and Christopher Yost. This is the film that when it was announced, many people are not sure if its gonna be good, but when we have Hulk coming back and adding a humor, we've been surprised and maybe that it could be better than "The Dark World"?

So, with all that said and our only question is once again, could this movie will be better than the second Thor movie?

Only way to find out.

The Story
It takes place 2 years after "Age of Ultron", Thor failed to finding a gem of Infinity and he was being captured by Surtur. According to the demonic fire, since Odin died, he needs "Eternal Flame" in order to making "Ragnarok", as in the end of the Realm "Asgard". But Thor fought back at Surtur, but he might be preventing it. When he returns his homeworld, he noticed that Odin was a disguise by his mischief  adopted brother Loki. So he and his brother going in Earth to finding Odin. Once they find their father, it was too late that he's dying and causing to open a portal to freeing a Goddess of Death named Hela. As Thor tries to fight back, she destroys Thor's Hammer and knocking them down to the other realm. Leaving them in other Realm called "Sakaar". While Loki become of GrandMaster's ingratiated, but Thor is imprisoned for a tournament. But Hela was transported in Asgard in order to rule the Realm. Its up to Thor has find the way to escaping the Sakaar before Ragnarok.

Honestly, the story itself is pretty good, it has some interesting development for what happen for Thor's Realm, the goals and even action scenes. Especially that there's a subplot with a surprise return of "The Incredible Hulk" since they worked together as a members of "Avengers", even though its not easy whether they're friends or not. And there's another one where we found out how did Hela was banished by Odin that she used to be a hero before turned evil for genocide. Not to mention, despite we like to see actions, but we also also have sense of humor, which it does make me laugh from the dialogues and the gags.

The story is probably well written for the characters, the meaning and the humor.

The Production
What can i say about it? Its just a Marvel superhero movie with cool actions and costume designs. But this one that maybe the most colorful production i've ever seen. Especially the transportation scene and the rainbow bride in Asgard (Yeah yeah, make a joke of "Rainbow Road" from Mario Kart.). The costume designs are look cool, a nice work of makeup and an interesting motion capture. One of the most insane appearance in my opinion is Hela, which not matter she's in battle form, i can't help but looking at her spiky-like headdress, which i know it was supposed to be like in the comic, but damn, what a impressive. The action scenes are also incredible, with interesting special effects and motion capture. Not to mention, it can also be a bit violent, but i won't give examples, despite it was rated PG.

It was colorful, nicely film, great actions and a cool looking design of the production.

The characters
Im sure some of you are probably familiar with the character in Thor. But for some of you who never know, il explain about and talk about for some change.

First, we have our titular hero Thor himself (played by Chris Hemsworth), he's known as the God of Thunder with his hammer and the son of Odin. He can fly like a helicopter, shoots lightning, super-strength and using his hammer as a projectile. In the movie, its not easy to tell that without his hammer, he'll could be either turned into mortal and still a God. But of course, despite of being brave hero, but he may also have a sense of humor, which Chris want to give his role with extra persona, since he's kinda get bored for his role that he needs not only extra personality, but also changing appearance. Which, im ok for that, but he always did a nice work of his role.

Then, we have his adopted brother, Loki (played by Tom Hiddleston), he's known as a mischievous God and Thor's nemesis if you've seen the previous films like "The avengers". As time change, despite he's a bad guy, but he's more of neutral, since he's a ruler of Asgard (Oh yeah, Spoiler Alert.). But of course, Tom did a nice work for his role of God of Mischievous.

And we have the late Odin (played by Anthony Hopkins), he's known as a former ruler of Asgard, since he was dying from the first act. although its pretty sad to see him coming to an end. But of course, Hopkins is always a legendary actor over decades.

Now lets talk about the newcomers. First, we have a main villain, Hela (played by Cate Blanchett). As you know, she's supposed daughter of Odin and the Goddess of Death that she was banished in other Realm. But man, she not only have cool appearance, but she might be a powerful villain in Standalone Thor movie. And Cate did a nice job her role, even though her head dress is the most difficult for how large it is.

Next, next we have Valkyrie (played by Tessa Thompson), she's a tomboy, a bounty hunter and....   A Hard-drinker of Asgard.  Yeah, its rather questionable when she was appeared, as well that she's like a warrior of Sakaar as "Scrapper 142", despite that her identity was already revealed from her forearm tattoo. But im aware that she was supposed to be similar of Sarah Connor from Termintor 2 while training. Desite her questionable appearance of drinking, but she maybe a not-bad character that maybe she could come back in the future.

Then we have "GrandMaster" (played by...  Jeff Goldblum?), he's known as one of the "Elders of the Universe" and the ruler of Sakaar. I find him to be a laid-back ruler with pleasure-seeking and enjoyer of life, tastes and smells. He's rather interesting character, and especially surprised that he was played by the same actor who played Malcolm in "Jurassic Park" franchise.

And finally, who could not forget to talk about The Incredible Hulk aka Bruce Banner (played by Mark Ruffalo), he's known to be an raging wrecking machine thanks to his radiation for causing him turning big green from his anger and brutal action. In this movie, he's in "Perma-Hulk", meaning he's turning into Hulk for years, kinda like She-Hulk, but she has it in infinity, but thats a different story. But here's a little fact, before Ruffalo, he was originally played by Edward Norton back in 2008, though i never saw this movie, but he was not too appreciate to crew members for his denied promotion of latter. Yeah, i guess it explained why Norton is a very serious person outside of big screen.

They're few other characters in the movie, like Heimdall (played by Idris Elba) who's all hearing and seeing Asgardian, Skruge (played by Karl Urban) who's a guardian of bride in Asgard and more. But some others that i was very surprised, like Doctor Strange came back in the movie (And yes, Benedict Cumberbatch reprised his role.) and Korg as played by the director himself Taika Waititi for motion capture.

Man, the movie is nearly having all-star casts, i guess you can say that most of all characters are likable for actions and humors.

And now its time for my conclusion.
Overall, Thor Ragnarok is surprisingly a  great sequel, probably better than Guardians of the Galaxy 2. With great story, intense actions, fun acting, cool designs and it was well-executed. And im not trying to say its better than Spider-man Homecoming, Spider-man and Thor Ragnarok are a both successful movies with critical acclaim and a lotta money. If you're a fan of Thor, i highly recommend to watch it, its one of a good sequel of superhero movie since Spider-man 2.

Il give this movie 10/10. Its a worth of watching,

Bryan Emmerich: So, i guess we're only have one comic book remain. *picks up "Justice League Movie"* So now we got another one, but it was on DC Universe. Since we got a good one like "Wonder woman", lets hope its gonna be good too, right? *opens it up and looks at it*
