Planet of the Apes-sucked. It managed to be both simplistic, stupid and hard to follow all at the same time. The entire movie boiled down to a fight over a single cave. Yawn. August might like it because of all the Boscos in it.
IF-this one shocked me. I expected it to be stupid. Like Inside Out or that Red Panda thing. Or about anything disney has made for the last 10-15 years. Or maybe it would be idiotic like Minions and Despicable Me. Brainless right? I mean hey, how much can you expect with Ryan Reynolds.
NOPE. This is the family movie. The modern Disney princess movie Disney has been searching for and trying to make for a decade. But screw it up every year with their race swapping, gender affirming, quota driven, forced woke dialogue groan eliciting tripe.
This movie was sweet, could easily be G rated. About a 12 year old girl. Like Disney old movies, they kill the mom hahahahahahah. But really, thoughtful. Imaginative. Emotional. All of that. I didn't personally ever have an IF but the concept is fantastic. Some of the scenery in NY brownstone neighborhoods is very nice. Very realistic.
And Paramount made it. Proof that there are still good family movies that can be made. Just not by Disney. Very creative. Unusual to have a new concept or not just a same old story line. Your wife would love it.
I expected to like the monkey movie. Expected to hate the one that looked like Monsters Inc remake. I was wrong on both.
For me that's important because I won't watch R rated movies. And I don't like super cheesy idiotic kids stuff like Minions. Though the lego movies were great. Lego Batman is the best. But most of those types I don't chase. Pull out the preachy movies and the R rated ones and the really obvious ones for 5 year olds and if I am lucky I have 2 movies to choose from at a 10 screen theater.
Too bad, I had the monkey movie on my to do list.
Don't worry about a spoiler alert -- I'm never going to see it.
But how can it be simplistic and hard to follow at the same time?
