Christopher Robin

This was delightful! The detail on the stuffed animals was exquisite, but it's confusing as to why Owl and Rabbit look like a real owl and rabbit, but the others look like stuffed animals. The plot is very sweet and has good intentions, but it is cliche and is also very similar to "Hook". Overworked dad rediscovers childhood joy and learns to be a better father, blah, blah, blah, we've seen this before. It is still done very well, though. What doesn't make sense is that the animal characters do actually speak, and people outside of the Hundred-Acre-Wood freak out when they hear them speak, which is just weird. This didn't really feel like a "Disney" movie. It just didn't have that certain something that Disney movies have. I feel like any studio could have made this. It's still a very cute movie, and a lot of time and care was put into this. The first 15 minutes are more-or-less the style of the books, and there are lots of cute little references to the stories. This definitely isn't a kids' movie, though. It's not inappropriate, kids will just find it boring. There were a lot of kids sleeping at my showing, but the adults sure enjoyed it. Keep that in mind. The average 5-year-old audience may not be entertained.

Teen Titans Go to the Movies

If you hate the show, don't read this review. I don't want to get hate mail because I loved this movie. (Prepares for death threats)

This film was hilarious! It's a superhero movie for people who don't like superhero movies, or at the very least, think there are too many too quickly. This film makes fun of everything! The superhero genre as a whole, the actors in the film, the studio, it goes on. And the jokes are well written, smart, and at times pretty subtle. Adults will definetly get more out of it than kids. The songs in the film are catchy and clever, and there are countless blink-and-you'll-miss-it visual gags. Do all the jokes work? No, but none bomb particularly hard, and the jokes that do work more than make up for the ones that don't.

Mission: Impossible: Fallout

As far as plot goes it was pretty much the same as the others. Hard to follow, high stakes, same old same old. But we don't go to "Mission: Impossible" movies for the plot, we see them for the action scenes, and boy did this film deliver! The action sequences were fantastic! Henry Cavill and Tom Cruise have a great dynamic in the film. A lot of the plot seems a bit overstuffed and some characters a bit unneccessary. The humor is unexpected for this kind of film, and it's great. Simon Pegg has some of the funniest lines here. Definitely one of the best entries in the series.
