Wish (II) (2023)

Hit and miss opportunity

[4/10 · 9 April 2024]

I've been a fan of Disney films, but this one doesn't hit right. This wasn't the 100 year anniversary movie Disney could have come up with.

To begin with, the concept of Wish was good. However, Disney decided to bombard the movie with the Spiderverse-esque visuals, with more of it looking like Puss in Boots 2. The result was a bland looking movie, which didn't have the color to captivate audiences like other Disney movies.

Secondly, the soundtrack was a major disappointment. The songs were too frequent, and the lyrics don't match with the melody. Hiring a 2024 pop artist for a fairytale movie wasn't Disney's best idea.

And lastly, Disney could have made this movie much better. If the animation was normal, or if the storyline wasn't too generic, it could have been a better movie. At this point, this feels like a movie aimed at kids, and I'm pretty sure they won't enjoy that much too.

Loki (2021–2023)

True Marvel in a nutshell

[9/10 · 31 March 2024]

Loki is one of those projects in which Marvel has shown pure love and dedication into creating a cinematic masterpiece. This series definitely sits among the top Marvel movies and series, such as the original iron man movie.

The series may seem slightly dragging, where they may intentionally make the series slower for more episodes. But, it is definitely something you must watch once in your lifetime.

Loki is one of the Marvel projects that is single handedly holding the company, in contrast to its recent films and projects.

Overall, Loki is a gripping masterpiece with a wonderful cast, and definitely a watch even for non-marvel fans.

Madame Web (2024)

Not too bad, but isn't great either

[6/10 · 31 March 2024]

After Sony's success with the Spider-Verse and regular spider man movies, I expected madame web to carry the same energy and thrilling storyline for the movie.

However, even the trailers for the movie weren't so convincing.

Madame Web starts out as an ambitious movie, attempting to create a proper backstory and use it as flashbacks scenes. However, looks like this backfired. The movie had opportunity to have so much more than just the characters escaping from a bad guy for the entire movie. The movie's plot was just the characters pretty much going place to place, and the villain just somehow finds them. However so far, the background score, the locations, the designs were pretty good. The cliché storyline was the only thing that could've changed.

So overall, I would recommend this film as a one-time watch, and hope that Sony can try making a better sequel.

Operation Valentine (2024)

Avoid at all costs

[3/10 · 31 March 2024]

Highly disappointed with the movie. It has bad graphics (which is normal in the Telugu industry), terrible dialogues, and a very forgettable storyline.

There are no gripping scenes. The movie tries to mix Hollywood style shots with an Indian storyline, and resulted in absolute disaster. The acting of the cast was very artificial, and added zero emotion to the movie.

The storyline of the movie is a very generic storyline, involving terrorists and the Indian Air Force. Moreover, the poor storyline makes the movie so boring, I slept halfway in the middle.

Overall, DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME in watching this movie. There are better movies than this.
