Madame Web (2024)
Not superhero movie; thriller prequel
If you know what the movie is really before watching, you might like it better. When we have high expectations/think it's one type of genre and it ends up being more of an entirely different one, we def end up more disappointed. This is not a marvel type of action/funny superhero movie. This is more like an origin story or a prequel to hopefully something better, and is more of a thriller.. with little action. Also, don't expect a show of powers either, not from the 3 ladies that our main character is helping. They don't even have their powers in this nor do we see them get their powers.. only glimpse we have of their powers is in a future premonition. And main character barely shows/uses hers because she's still figuring out she even has them, etc. Hence the origin/prequel comment.
The Holdovers (2023)
NOT a comedy
Whoever labeled this a comedy, failed this movie. If we had known it was just a Drama, we would've been prepared better and maybe wouldn't have watched. Dramas are not our favorite genre but sometimes they're just so good it doesn't matter, but when you go into a movie thinking it's also going to be comedy along with the drama elements and all you get is drama ONLY.., with maybe two laughs in the whole movie... you leave disappointed and not satisfied/liking a movie, that was otherwise well made if labeled correctly as a Drama, nothing more. The actors did good with their roles, again, if you are into dramas and you watch this knowing it is NOT a comedy, it's a decent movie for what it is. It is NOT a cheerful, laugh out loud throughout, with the typical drama thats added for a touching Christmas movie,... so if that's what you are looking for, this is not it, go elsewhere.
The ABCs of Death (2012)
Garbage horror
I'm very generous with my ratings and give credit for effort and ideas too. I love horror movies, I'll try them all (most of them lol) this though... ignore the good reviews, probably friends of the many different.. beyond okay weirdness directors, it's disturbing and not in an entertaining way. The reviews that gave a 1 star and talked about what I mean are accurate, still processing what in the world I just watched, never again. If you were disturbed by human centipede and say never again to that garbage then you will feel the way I do about this movie. Avoid! Try something else. Not nearly enough good stories to be worth 2 hours of your life.
Pinocchio (2022)
Ignore those that can never be pleased
All the negative comments you see are just people that focus on negatives in life and are probably miserable because nothing is good enough for them. "It's too close to the original", "how dare they, not good enough". Someone tries to make the remake their own, "how dare they, not good enough." It's ridiculous. If you are not a miserable person who nothing can satisfy them, then you will enjoy this remake. Myself, my boyfriend and his almost 8 year old daughter loved it. Ps: it's for the kids so if the kids love it, get off the negative comments, it's not for you. It was a good movie! Just check it out and ignore the endless haters for all these movies. (Insert eye roll)
Beauty and the Beast (2017)
People are haters, this was a great remake
I don't get people, they all want to be critics so bad. Emma Watson was perfect for Belle just like she was perfect for Hermione (and Hermione would be perfect as Belle haha). I think they did a great job keeping it close to the original while also adding a few details. Nothing is good enough for people these days, they complain when these remakes are exactly that, a remake (aka scene for scene of the original), they also complain if it's too different, too original from the old one.
Ignore the bad reviews they are just haters trying to be critics. It's a great movie and if you loved the original and your not an overly ridiculous wanna be critic you will love this too.
Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021)
I thought it was good, voice could be creepier!
I love scary, thriller movies.. whole month of October i made my boyfriend watch all types of "scary" lol. I never go in thinking it's going to be perfect, I've watched too many to get "scared" like I use to but I still love them, i watch to be entertained.
So as far as this one went.. My boyfriend said 6 or 7. I think 7. Our only issue was the voice they used for "saw" wasn't creepy at all.. if they picked a creepier voice it would've been better. We thought chris did fine acting serious and the little bit of comic relief is always cool with us haha. If you want to be entertained and are not the type to act like a critic (lol) you will enjoy this film.
Charmed (2018)
Better then these comments make it sound (6.5)! If you can give it a fair chance as it's own thing, you will like it.
Yes, the original is better. But that doesn't mean this version is bad. I think way to often people go into the new versions expecting it to be exactly like the original and their expectations are way to high they never give it a fair chance. I think that's what has happened here, so I had to leave a review. Give it a chance, put the OG one out your mind and it does it's job, it's entertaining, has the relationship (both significant others and family alike) drama, powers you wish you had lol, fighting demons, etc.
