I have always been a massive Disney fan girl. I still own almost all their older movies on VHS and DVD. My absolute animated film of theirs will always be the Lion King, and Mary Poppins cannot be beaten for Live Action. However, the last "proper" new addition they made in house was "The Princess and the Frog" which was alright, but since then all they have done is remake their classic films (remaster them) or put out god awful (in my view) live action versions of their animated classics. I love Emma Watson as an actress, but please honey, don't sing again. Aladdin was weird, Lion King was a litteral 'word for word' copy and the best part of The Little Mermaid was Melissa McCarthy. Are they getting lazy, with so much CGI around now and their lifetime partnership with Pixar and other animation studios? Will we ever see another pure Disney new story instead of another "re-imagining" of a classic? Or has the prospect of money blindsided what Walt created?
I saw a good Disney film recently. The Queen of Katwe. It was a true story and quite inspiring. About a girl from the slums of Uganda who became an international chess champion. I would highly recommend it. The whole film is on YouTube too.
A lot of SW content recently has been a yawn-a-thon, Obi Wan Kenobi was dull, Mandalorian S3 was poor. Marvel stuff hasn't been great either of late although I did like GotG3.
The episodes 7 to 9 of Star Wars were horrific, Daisy Riddly was as wooden as the Ewoks' planet and the storyline was gibberish at best. Adam Driver practically carried it by himself. Having said that Rogue One was a brilliant film, I understand that the prequel series Andor is supposed to be quite good, I haven't watched it yet.
She has no emotion and cannot even pretend to have a different one more than bored or angry. What annoyed me the most about the three major "new" films was the fact she was Mary Sue. She could do "Everything" that Luke could do, with very little effort. She was a first class Jedi out of the box, spoke Droid and Wookie and was a master light saber fighter. Luke had to learn all this, and it was struggle across three excellent movies that ended with him killing his father. I don't blame Daisy for taking the role, but she wasn't the right fit.
Yes agree with this. 7-9 were horrific. Andor is very good, a pleasant surprise from the usual dross served up.
Andorra is very, very good - there's some confusion of how the writers' strike is effecting S02. We watched, by mistake, Disney's "The Crater" - it was a very good kids/family film.
Mandalorian season 3 was appalling in comparison to the other two seasons. The episode with Lizzo and Jack Black was the lowest point of anything since the 3 original films. Rogue One is indeed an excellent film as someone mentioned here. It's the only one that could be placed along side the first ones.
I’m working on this film as we speak and I can confirm it is pretty awful . Because everything in films is market driven nowadays they run hundreds of test screenings and are constantly recutting and reshooting in response to that such that a movie is less about a directors vision creating a piece of art and more about movie making by committee .
I don’t think you ever had them both in the same room at the same time , so possibly one and the same , would explain a few things
