Sexy boys love them
Lmao if she only knew..you said it perfectly though, a tragic foreshadow
Well, the Shizzzzzz...Has hit the fan. (rim-shot)...I'm sorry I had to, D. Happy Holidays. 😁🎄
The intro has that green flavor that I like. Off-topic, why hasn't RUclips allowed the user to customize their colors? You know, instead of black and white and blue (comment button), why can't we change the colors to green or purple or red or yellow or anything? RUclips missed out on this idea.
Pensé que era una reseña en español.. Dislike...está en ingles.
De hecho, menciono en la descripción del video que, aunque solo hablo inglés, he traducido subtítulos en español que puedes usar para seguir mi comentario. Sin embargo, si eso no es de tu agrado, definitivamente lo entiendo y me disculpo si te sientes engañado, ya que esa no era mi intención.
Merry Christmas!
Thank you! Same to you, and I hope you had a great holiday. 🙏🙏🙏
How are you doing today? I like to say happy holidays to you and your family. This year been an interesting year for movie this year. Although I found your channel this year, you have an amazing content with your movie review. Some movies you like and others you did not care about too which is why I come here to hear your review because you are on point. Hope 2025 bring more things to you and continue to do great things on your channel.
I can’t wait to see how this turns out 😂
I don't expect anything less than an abject disaster.....which, in and of itself, might be a fairly enjoyable experience. 🙃🙃🙃
@ I’m hoping to at least be entertained by it’s weakness 😂
Campaña para asesinar a major ⬇️
So I had to go back in time to watch this review. How are you doing and how your day? I have seen this movie and it was ok. It give me the vibes of when I was watching old school kung fu movies like Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and Michelle Yeoh. I still watch old school kung fu to this day. With Doomsday coming soon, I think Shang Chi is going to play a pivotal part of the film of what Dr. Doom trying to accomplish that if Shang Chi is going to be in the movie.
While I don’t think this as good as the first, I honestly still enjoyed this one.
Although the visuals kept me afloat for the majority of this, I think the genuine enjoyment ran out about halfway through. 🙃🙃🙃
I don’t go to theaters anymore because I always fall asleep. I will wait for it to come to Netflix.
Understandable! That definitely happens with my mom on occasion, and movie tickets are too expensive to miss out on what you paid for. 😭🙃😅
Super cool that you got to attend this
Much appreciated, compadre. Seeing the film itself was cool enough, but the Q&A was a really nice surprise! 🙏🙏🙏
I wasn't huge on the music but popular has grew on me as I wasn't a fan originally and ofcourse defying gravity but it was a bit strange with the big gaps I felt
Ah, sorry to hear that, compadre. I agree about Popular as I didn't think as much of it to begin with, but I really came to appreciate it with time. I agree that the visual aesthetic and setup of that scene was pretty distracting and oddly structured, although I think Cynthia's vocals knocked it out of the park. 👏👏👏
I just love the confidence
How it going today and how your Tuesday? Wait a min, are those glasses look similar to the one the witch was wearing. That interesting. As for the songs, I dont have an issue with your lists but I will be prepared for part 2 with all that singing.
Hey, TRC! Right! Although it wasn't my intention to begin with, I definitely ended up giving an Elphaba vibe here. Part 2 definitely was more difficult to land with the overall ranking, but it again speaks to how on point the music is overall. 🙏🙏🙏
@@DMovieman I lost count how many songs were in the movie until I watch your rankings.
I'm ready for part II😊
Thank you! Much appreciated. 🙏🙏🙏
I love this ranking list! For me, number 5 is in my top 3.
Thanks, B! LISTEN.....the struggle I had putting this together. To be honest, as I was recording AND editing, I kept going back and forth. But the more I listen to it, I think I'd probably replace #4 with it. It's really on point! 🎧🎧🎧
D! Great work on this man, its very interesting to see so many enthusiastic fan reactions. It's broadens the scope to hear from people on a more personal level. Also, wonderful review man & good to hear you enjoyed it overall and it delivered! I'm looking forward to checking this out myself. I was able to see the Broadway musical many years back and it was awesome. Probably the most impressive production I've ever seen. All the best D!
Hey, Anthony! Thanks so much for the support. Having the chance to chat with everyone was one of the highlights of the experience. I love hearing that you're familiar with the stage musical as well! I really hope you enjoy this one. 🙏🙏🙏
Wait I love those glasses on you friend 😍
Now, that is high praise coming from the Grand Duchess of Fly Glasses & Goggles herself! I'm trying to lear from the best, now! 😎😎😎
@ listennnn I’m tryna get like you!!!! They look great on you 🥰
Great review man. This movie is getting slept on hard this year but Im glad a few people are taking notice!
Yes! It honestly irritates me, but it's all the more reason why I do my best to highlight films like this on the channel. Thanks so much for tuning in and supporting! 🙏🙏🙏
This movie should have just been called… MOAN 2. Wow, this wasn’t good at all and there was no joy, anything special or anything that I could see captivating audiences. Disney MAKING THAT MONEY 💵
I fear there might be tragic financial consequences were Disney to attempt to market a film with that name to children, but.....point taken. 🙃😭🙃 This really was a waste of time, money, and resources, and it's such a shame!
D, I just love hearing your thoughts on movies, especially in parking lots 😊 I just can't find too much excitement about this movie just because Bob Dylan is such an enigma... I feel like his music speaks for itself, and his life story doesn't really need a biopic treatment. But, I'm excited to hear Timmy sing as Dylan
Hey, Shawn! Much appreciated, compadre. I can definitely understand where you're coming from. That's why I figured the perception of this might be very different for fans of his or anyone more familiar with him. But Timothée definitely came through with the vocals! 😉😉😉
My Lord she is beautiful❤
I understand not connecting even if the performance is amazing. 👍
Yes! It's not a knock to someone's talent, but we all have certain actors or actresses who either resonate with us on a deeper or just don't resonate with us at all.
Whatever…this ish was AMAZING. M. E . Double S….MESS!! Love it!!!
This was a great video, bro! Outside of just the review. You killed this!
Much appreciated, compadre! This was such a great experience overall, so I'm glad you enjoyed the video. 🙏🙏🙏
At least it wasn’t a COMPLETE snooze fest 😂 At least you enjoyed this one and it was better than some music biopics we’ve been getting as of late! Based on yours and Anthony’s positive reviews, I will probably check this out
Listen, I was anticipating that going in to this one, so I'm glad I was (somewhat) proven wrong. Biopics are a disconnected genre, so it's hard to make something click the right way. But this was a pleasant surprise! 👌👌👌
Ive lost all interest in biopics but youve swayed me on this one. Ill try and catch it. Im also the same with chalamet. For whatever reason.....i just dont get...it. However, I'll go in open. Great review.
Why were the songs so bad lol I almost walked out twice Great review man
They were SO WACK! I was so annoyed, especially by the time we got to Maui's new song. Appreciate the support, compadre! 🙏🙏🙏
When it comes to biopic movies, I am skeptical about who they pick for the movie. I feel like it so much they try to cram in a 2-hour movie. It made no sense what they did to Whitney Houston. So they got a woman who from Britian somewhere to play her. They could not find a woman from Philly. I mean that where she was from. As for this movie, this was an easy pass for me. I did not know much about him but they got him looking down alot in the previews like he pretty miserable. You are a better person than me for watching that movie. I hope your day went well.
Agreed! There's never enough time to delve deeper, and everything is way too surface. I didn't even waste my time with Whitney Houston's biopic, especially regarding the casting. I honestly didn't see the point, especially as someone who grew up with Whitney's music and watched so many of her interviews. It was a nice day, and I appreciate you checking out the review! 🙏🙏🙏
@@DMovieman no problem champ. I will keep an eye out on your next video.
“I am the writing on the walls”- Candyman
They got Bob's look down.
Yes, indeed! 👌👌👌
As much as this was an amazing interview I know she made a lot of the guilty mad! The truth can be painful but just do better
Dorthy first best actress nominee and Halle first to win and both from my home town Cleveland!
Its safe to say the earlier snow white is the best one. If I do go see this movie, I am going to dog this movie out like Madame Web. Back from vacation to see what have I missed on your channel. How are you doing today and how your day?
I've always enjoyed the original! I'll likely go just to see if it is THAT bad. I was able to make progress on my newest review and get some cleaning done, so it was a nice day overall. 🙏🙏🙏
Back from vacation to see what have I missed on your channel. How are you doing today and how your day? I did not see the movie because I was not sure about it. So I just rather watch your review to see if it worth going to watch it. Since the Rock has played in a ton of movies, do you think his still Blockbuster or Bombbuster?
I hope you enjoyed your vacation! It's not the worst film I've seen all year, but it's definitely a disappointment all the same. 🙃🙃🙃 After Red One? Definitely in the "bombbuster" category.
Do you still have your mask 😷? I still have my mask to this day since the '20 pandemic.
I don't know what's going on with Patty Jenkins's Star Wars movie but I'm guessing it's getting the Blade Marvel treatment in that we don't know if it's going to happen or not.
I'd be surprised if it did. But then again, Disney entire handling of Star Wars is nonsensical at this point, so who knows.
Disney does have a new Star Wars + show coming out and I'm not a Star Wars fan but it's too much to follow a franchise that keeps going nuts with their budget for these + shows and they just don't want to put that toy in the closet to give it a rest.
Good to hear you enjoyed it to an extent. I’m not really that interested in it and I haven’t heard much about it besides you and Perez’s review.
Your "not interested" list has been pretty extensive this year, compadre! 🙃😂🙃
@ haha I’ve still managed to see over 200 2024 movies this year.
Not Ruff, Ruff Bro Bro 🤣 I'll wait until this is streaming on Disney+
Yes, ma'am! From the looks of it, it may not even be worth that. But I can only imagine what you'll think of it. 🙃🙃🙃
I did not like this one at all. The story wasn’t good and the music wasn’t memorable. The farmer was my favorite new character. I can’t lie though I was bored watching this. We also know she really didn’t need any crew members with her.
Agreed! I will say that the farmer was the best of the bunch as well. They threw all these additional characters only for them to bog down an already mediocre story. 🙃🙃🙃
This was ok for me. The emperors were pretty dorky and I dunno how anyone would fear them. The rhino scene was my favorite part. The sharks scene was ridiculous
The emperors were definitely quite lame, and I have no idea who thought they were any kind of substitute for Joaquin Phoenix/Commodus. I was so confused as to why the sharks were needed in the first place. 🙃🙃🙃
The sarcasm 😂. Synthetic was the perfect description. We don't need another live action remake.
I don't even try to be, but it just comes forth whenever an opportunity is realized. Yeah, that's the first word that came to mind, and it's so bizarre to see play out in this trailer. Sadly, Disney will continue to ride the remake struggle train until the wheels fall off! 😭😭😭
I liked the video off your facial expressions during the trailer alone😂. Synthetic is a PERFECT description. There’s something ungrounded about it. I watched an extended trailer at the movies, and I have zero interest. Apparently, unless the Disney live action is led by a Black actress, I ain’t going, lol (except Aladdin). Even the upcoming Mufasa movie. Every trailer I watch, I want to see it less.
Listen! This face can tell NO lies. Ungrounded is a great synonym as well! Mufasa looks like a train wreck as well. The Disney skruggle continues onward! 😵💫😵💫😵💫
2 Things, 1. Did anyone ask for this? 2. Don't cast the better looking actress as the Evil Queen if snow white is supposed to be more beautiful......
1. We NEVER ask for any of these remakes, but sadly, Disney could care less. 🥲🥲🥲 2. I've seen better looking actresses cast as the Evil Queen before, so I think there's maybe a point being made about how "fairness" is more than just beauty in Snow White's case? Either way, the pairing doesn't work for me.
Hope it will be a total box office collapse !
Considering that they spent $269.4 million on this, I don't see the financial outcome being positive at all. 😓😓😓
I hoping she puts a lot of poison in that apple. Maybe she will stay asleep with the rest of us watching this flop. Yawning
Can I get a CHEE HOO?
😎😎😎
