Chris, it’s okay. You’re allowed to say you didn’t like it. It wasn’t a good movie.
But that’s not him anymore. He has to say “POSITIVE” because he doesn’t wanna actually criticize movies so he won’t hurt the creator’s feelings.
Other than that, I’m looking forward for this movie😁
You sound like a cynical prick
This is so condescending lmao
I'm not gonna listen to anyone until I see it myself. I wanna make my own judgement. Excited to see it still.
Lmao, he said early in the video that it's the weakest in the franchise bruh which is something that most people can definitely agree on. He also said that he was at times pretty bored because he was waiting when for the movie to start so I can assume the first act dragged a bit for him but that doesn't make it as a bad movie because there's still plenty to enjoy here too 🤷
Jesus, did you even watched the video first before commenting? Y'all Stuckmann haters are a bunch of losers. Hating Stuckmann exaggeratedly yet y'all losers like this didn't even bother to watch the video first before commenting. If you didn't like it, that doesn't mean Chris has to agree with you kiddo 🤷🤦
I always admire whether it be good movies like Kung Fu Panda 2 or terrible ones like Shark Tale, Jack Black puts 110% into every single role and hopefully this movie is no different.
Ironically both Kung Fu Panda 2 and Shark Tale didn't just have Jack Black in it but both movies also had Hans Zimmer as composers for both movies. Yeah you heard me, the guy who composed Shark Tale was Hans freaking Zimmer. So Zimmer also puts 110% into every single composing work so hopefully this movie is no different 😂😂
@@15Candles Wow, I had no idea! Thanks for the information.
@@15Candles Zimmer has 2 sides 😹
- Dreamworks
- Christopher Nolan
and Dune now
i love shark tale
@@silent-v1896 Good for you; different opinions make the world much more enjoyable.
RIP Akira Toriyama, the creator of Dragon Ball has passed. I know Chris was a huge dragon ball fan so it sucks knowing we may not see dragon ball super or anything else dragonball related see its conclusion.
Rip 🙏🏾
Toyotaro's going to keep it going Dragon Ball's not going anywhere
maybe now vegeta will finally get his moments to shine. rip though
toriyama hated vegeta?
@@kidfiretruck
And that has to do with kung Fu panda ?
I'm sure Chris will have some things to say bout Toriyama in the near future. RIP to a legend.
No. 😮 He died?
@@DryptosaurusDavidYeah he died March 1st😢
I'm not an anime fan but I'm so sorry for the loss of Toriyama. My close friend who's a huge anime fan was crying in his bed for a few hours because of this. Seems like a good humble and talented guy 🙏
Thank you for mentioning it because I was thinking the thing. I loved Dragon Ball and DBZ my whole life and Akira Toriyama can rest in peace.
This film was simply okay but it was also very self contained so if it does gain enough traction to get a sequel then hopefully they can invest more time and effort into the sequel
I did think Shrek Forever After was a vast improvement over Shrek the Third.
Easily watching 4th film as family man, hits the right notes.
That is something that most people can definitely agree on but unfortunately it's not on par with the first two movies either which set the bar so high
Well that's not a hard feat
*Shrek the Turd
I thought Shrek the Third was weak, but it had a few funny gags. I actively hated everything about Shrek 4. It was just incredibly boring and tedious with the worst animated villain I’ve ever seen
Honestly from the trailers, it really looked liked a movie that was running on autopilot. I wasn’t expecting it to be awful but nothing about it really got me. Dunno when I’ll see it.
Having seen and enjoyed the movie, I can say that it does feel like that a lot, especially in the first twenty minutes. Adding about ten minutes would have helped a lot.
Wait til it’s free on a streaming service.
It was definitely the worst one, not awful but not on par with the first 2 or even the 3rd
You guys are crazy, I watched the movie and loved it.
So much so that I decided to make my own Movie review 😌
Movie so good I SHARTED.
How to Train Your Dragon also remained consistent throughout its three movies. Still love Kung Fu Panda though, interested to see how this one holds up.
Disagree. It was great for the first 2 but the third HTTYD movie dropped the ball. It felt rushed, dropped plot points that were set up in the previous film and had an unearned ending that comes out of nowhere. They changed the third movie's story half way through and it shows
As for the third Dragons movie, I liked it, I just didn't find the villain as good as the previous two. However, Astrid and Hiccup finally getting married? Oh my god, y'all have no idea how swept up I am when I saw that
@@joevictor53 I can respect that, I’m aware a lot of people aren’t fond of the third film. I also believe it’s the weakest of the three but thematically its ending is very much earned imo. Hiccup has learned to grow into his role as a leader of Berk and knows he shouldn’t make a decision for Toothless in whether or not he wants to leave with the light fury. The movie sets up early on that with love comes loss and they both acknowledge that. They learn to lead their two lives separate from each other by embracing change and letting go in favor of a future they both want to pursue that favors growth and freedom. That’s my take on it, but to each their own of course.
@@sebastianrivera3527 Respectfully disagree. There was no need for the dragons to hide in an underground cavern until the time came where they'd somehow bond with humans because "humans don't deserve them". Hiccup even says that after a decade people stopped believing in dragons. So how could they coexist and learn to get along if dragons aren't around to warm up to? The Christmas short that came out a little while later pretty much proved that it was a bad idea because the newer generation had no prior expectations of dragons, and the only impression they had of them, they got from outdated books painting them as monsters.
Not to mention hiccup's line at the end of the second film: "And bit by bit, we will change the world". The reason the films ended the way they did is because Dean wanted a reason to include the epilogue from the books "there were dragons when I was a boy", even though the films didn't really set it up that way. They could've had it where toothless wanted independence and to explore the archipelago with the light fury rather than have ALL the dragons suddenly leave. He feels torn because he loves Hiccup, but hiccup eventually encourages him to live his own life however he pleases. They still love and care for each other, and the "with love comes loss" theme is still there. The idea that sometimes relationships get stronger when you spend time apart (more of a "I'll see you around", then a final goodbye".
You could say Grimmel represents all the evil in the world which is why Hiccup decided it was appropriate to send the dragons away, but vikings according to hiccup "have stubbornness issues". They could deal with people like grimmel if it meant keeping the peace and making friendships with dragons, which is what they were happily doing for 5 years. They spent 50 years fighting dragons who raided their village after all.
I think there's certainly a lot to like about the film, and I don't necessarily hate it. But I was a diehard fan since the first film came out, and I just feel like it wasn't a satisfying ending for me lol.
@@HusnaArtz2 You make some very fair points and I hadn’t seen it that way before, you’re more than welcome to feel that way. And thank you for the insight. I’m not too informed on the production of the final movie, but I’m a huge fan of how concise the arcs for Hiccup feel between all three films and how they treat his growth in such a mature fashion. Theres lots to love and some things to dislike about the finale, but despite its logical shortcomings I think it caps off what I think is thematically the strongest trilogy Dreamworks has put out, maybe strongest animated trilogy out there even. (In terms of soundtrack, design, narrative, direction, characters etc) In my opinion of course.
To me, the original Kung Fu Panda is one of the greatest animated movies western media ever produced.
It is a perfect blend of humor, terror, heart, thrill, action and journey of an underdog. It has amazing dialogues, very interesting world building even you don't get to see a lot and a great antagonist. Tai Lung captures the essence of a hero gone villain perfectly! Not to mention the development of Po is solid. I don't know how they captured everything in the run time..
I can watch this move a 100 times without getting bored of it.
sequel’s even better!
@@pk2512 is better…3 is just 2 again
My only issue with the first is I feel like Tai Lung should have had some kind of redemption, or at least Shi Fu should have grieved in some way after his death. Tai Lung was his son, he went bad, but he's still his son. Maybe he mourned him years ago, but it still feels like there's something missing there emotionally. He doesn't even have to be redeemed as such, if Poe has simply defeated him and sent him back to prison then Tai Lung could have seen that he was never the dragon warrior and all the evil he did was for nothing. Maybe we see him again in a sequel and he's reformed there. There's a depth to that character and his relationship with Shi Fu that's not explored adequately.
3 is my favorite, but 1 was great too.
@@alexanderforbes1452 the concept of Tai Lung was a character who just snapped one day. Him being irredeemable was the danger to begin with and the reason I like that character was because he wasn't just "evil" he actually thrived to be a warrior and protector of the valley in his perspective he was given false promises.
In the sequel Shen was more like a mustache twirling villain to me, I couldn't buy into his character and master Kai was more or like similar.
To me a villain has to be the protagonist of his own perspective to be sold so his motives would make sense more than his evil does.
Appreciate the Puss N Boots Last Wish shout out - that movie is a great example of a franchise growing with its original fanbase- and yet still being great for new kids to discover IMHO
3?? What happened to two???
I think u mean 2
Lol my apologies .. yup two😉
Too bad it let to 5-year olds on the internet glazing the ever-loving f**k out of Dreamworks.
It's such a good sequel for the first 😊
It may be the weakest one in the franchise but Jack Black's cover of Britney Spears's "Baby One More Time" was super dope that it became one of the greatest thing that's ever happened to this franchise so for that, i'm grateful that this movie existed. I've been listening it for the past few hours, oh my lord it sounds so good. Might be better than the original tho 😅
That was the SCENE!
Jack black is a gem no matter what. His bowser is the only redeemable thing in Mario movie and I will die on that hill.
@@duhduh666 why did Jack black cover that song specifically??
@@adamH.1 I have no idea. He is big into classic rock that I know. And has an excellent voice obviously
Me too!!!! The movie was ok.. I think it got spoiled with the trailer but the cover of Baby One More time was just amazing and so fun! It’s my weekend song! ❤❤❤
I love that you're wearing a Michael Myers t-shirt while giving a family review😂
He clearly is half assing this review. It's just easy money since it's a kids movie
I don't believe that
@@fellepas look at the passion in his videos from 5-10 years ago to now. It's shocking how little effort he puts in now and how much of a copy and paste script that he follows. He made a big deal of the fact that he wasn't going to review movies anymore but he soon realized that his other videos weren't getting the same views. Add in him burning through all his money on his movie and then having two kids on top of that, money has to be tight. It's just obvious that he isn't passionate about this anymore and is just working for paychecks
the "Old grizzled former franchise star teaches young sassy female to be his exact replacement" trope was really solid for about 2 movies and now it's just the plot of every fourth movie.
Can we get some films with strong female protagonists with nothing to inherit? PREY was the best example in years.
Yea prey actually showed her development of skills w all the scenes of her practicing her axe thro and failing. Trying to hunt and failing. Then overcoming that and succeeding. Unlike Rey in star wars who’s just perfect for no reason and zero training
I will say, the next Dreamworks movie (The Wild Robot) might be one of their best. Now it's too early to truly say, we've only seen one trailer. But it looks to be more grounded and beautiful. Taking the same visual style as Puss in Boots The Last Wish with a painterly look.
Agreed
I’m definitely hyped for that, I don’t even mind if the trailer doesn’t reveal too much about the potential plot.
@@CaulkMonglerit's better when the trailer doesn't reveal plot
@@The_MEMEphis I mean in general we get a sense of what the movie will be about (murder, looking for love, blah blah blah) but we’re given very little in the trailer, which I’m not complaining about at all. I personally think it’ll be about the robot discovering the beauty of life maybe, and maybe even reveling against other robots that want to capture/kill all the animals it befriends.
@@CaulkMongler it's based on a book
Chris is starting to get silver hair. Love it
Just watched Cabrini. It was extremely well written, well casted and its message was extremely fitting not only in the early 1900s but also today. The film ended with the challenge, "what kind of world do you want to live in and what are you going to do to achieve it? "
I strongly implore you to please get out and watch this film and give it a review. The world Needs this message.
It was very well written indeed I loved this freaking movie I just came back from watching it. Amazing. Absolutely beautiful!
Nice! Excited for breakdown breakdown. Always appreciated that one with Kurt McGert
Kung fu panda series are our childhood favorite 💗
Haven't seen KFP4 yet, but I'm really excited for your feature presentation, my wife and I love Breakdown!
I just watched this and I actually really like it for a movie that has half the budget that the last three had it’s really good I love the edition of a new potential dragon warrior cocky quick witted thief playing a good person and the original slow witted goofy oaf trying to be the wise teacher like the one we all love before him. I think it’s a good dynamic and I’m excited to see where they go with this!
Why does it have half the budget? :(
@@gwenk903 I’m not sure I haven’t looked into it too much but with that said I think it was great with that being the case. Not as in depth as the last three though.
Looks like a fun movie for kids
But all in all RIP to Akira Toriyama, I hope we get a video from you about his passing. He is a true legend!
I had eye surgery a few years ago and it is a game changer, especially for movies! Thanks for your review, I'm going to see this tomorrow! Would love to hear your review about the new movie Cabrini
How did you like it?
Been watching since 2013. So glad to see you're still at it brother!
YOU GOTTA SEE CABRINI - I'd love to see you review that!
I’ve said it before, but I’d love to see Chris talk about Tron Legacy, in my opinion it’s a criminally underrated flick
RiP Akira toriyama 💔😭
Chris is a DBZ fan so I'm sure that's hard news for him.
What are your thoughts on Cabrini which also releases today?
Hoping you'll do a Cabrini movie review next! Would love to hear that one 🙏
DreamWorks probably needs to end this franchise at some point. But this was fun for what it is.
Money talks. Just ask megamind
@@KadenHartley Don't remind me of that mess.
They might end in the sixth film. Many people don't know this but since they began production on the second movie, Jeffrey Katzenberg and the Kung Fu Panda writing team have been planning for this franchise to be 6 films
@@15Candles Which seems like a lot even discounting the TV shows and video games that came out of this franchise.
@@claytonrios1 As for TV shows, i only watched Kung Fu Panda Legends Of Awesomeness on Nickelodeon, pretty fun watch and i still remember the theme song lol. And that's pretty much it, i don't even know the rest and i don't play video games a lot so idk any video games based on this franchise
Have you reviewed Cabrini yet? I would love to see that!
I use to like chris now he has to be positive cuz hes a director himself ugh thats another content creator im leaving
Good concise review, thanks. Sounds like it is mostly for kids and for adults who can still enjoy it despite its lack of depth and emotional power compared to the first three movies. Jack Black always puts everything into the role, and I’ve always enjoyed Bryan Cranston and James Hong as the two dads and Dustin Hoffman as the grumpy Sifu.
Chris, would you make a video about your laser surgery. I'm 35 and have been considering it for ages but I'm hyperaware of the risks
Hey but I just need to know One thing...PLEAS tell me bc I was hoping for one thing and if it's not there and I go with too much expectations into this movie I will just be very frustrated...IS Tai Lung part of "main squad" in this movie or he litterly just in that scene from the trailer :/
Bc seeing Po and Tai Lung teaming up, Tai Lung repenting for his sins would be great
Saw Imaginary yesterday and going to see this tonight (in 3D) glad that you enjoyed it!
Jack Black releases yet another banger for an animated film. We are in the Jack Black Renaissance right now. Between Kung Fu Panda, the Super Mario Bros movie, and the Minecraft movie. He is everywhere! I'm so excited to see Kung Fu Panda 4 this weekend!
Every time Jack Black is in a movie, I'm more on anticipating the soundtrack because oh my god, his cover on Britney Spears' "Baby One More Time" was too good! I never thought a rock version of the song with Jack Black in the vocal could work but here we are and I'm grateful to see that it worked so well. Britney would be so proud
Would love to see a Cabrini review. What did you think of it?
Does anything think that in the future movies sequels or trilogy’s that Tai Lung will reappear again or have more screen time and story to him or action?
Can only hope!
Awesome movie review, Chris! Thank you for your dedication to cinema👏❤️😀!
We want to see Dune 2, then Kung-Fu Panda 4, then Ghostbusters 5 in theatres this month. We are olde, but are into martial arts, so we have Kung Fu Panda 1-3 in our dvd library.
Chris can you please review robot dreams? I feel like it’s going under the radar cause it had an early release in March but it’s an amazing movie
Yo Chris, is your intro a sample from Revenge of Shinobi for Sega Genesis!!?
I hope Awkwafina doesnt ruin this movie for me 😢 she's really been annoying in all the other stuff ive seen her in
To Awkwafina's defense, I only find her funny in Crazy Rich Asians and she was pretty okay in Quiz Lady. But of course my favourite performance of her was when she was cast against type in The Farewell playing a more subtle quiet performance that really showcase what a true actress she really is when she took a risk like that to do something extremely different rather than your typical Awkwafina role
I will say, it seems like her voice is amped up more in the trailers. I didn’t her find her voice nearly as grating when entering the movie.
But, with that being said, it’s no Puss In Boots The Last wish. Out of all the KFP movies, this one has the lowest budget and that kinda shows especially when you compare character designs like the wolves and bulls to previous movies.
Don’t get your hopes too high, but if you like the movie, kudos to you.
She’s actually good in this because her and Jack Black have EXCELLENT chemistry.
Y'know, it's interesting: I actually think Awkwafina could really work for animation because her voice is so expressive. I think her problem, other than just general overexposure, *is* that she plays the same schtick over, and over, and over. With her voice, I feel like she could do a lot more
This is gonna be the third animated movie I've seen her in recently, First Raya, then The Bad Guys, and now this (and that's without counting live-action stuff like Renfield and the Little Mermaid remake). She's freaking everywhere these days.
I'm honestly so confused by the mixed reviews. I thought this was easily the best of the sequels!
One thing that always bothered me about the previous films, was that Po somehow kept regressing as a character - never truly embodying the kung fu master he was, but instead always being portrayed as an incompetent idiot who somehow got away with winning fights, despite his clumsiness. After 16 years, this is the first film where Po is FINALLY allowed to be a proper badass!!! That alone should be making all fans go absolutely crazy!!
But on top of that, this was the most solid film in the franchise from a technical point of view:
1. The cinematography and animation were great (it probably had some of the most beautiful and interesting shots/visuals in the entire franchise).
2. The worldbuilding was really strong (it introduced a wider variety of characters and settings than the previous two combined, and it all felt very organic too, which deserves huge props!).
3. Not having the Five was an enormous risk that required massive BALLS on their part, which paid off hugely by allowing the film to feel fresh and different from the rest...
Anyway, I could go on. I almost didn't go watch this at the cinema after seeing what some people were saying. But I'm glad I did! I went into it with very low expectations, but I must say I was very pleasantly surprised!
We need an Akira Toriyama influence video. RIP! DB lives on
I watched the movie and this is what I think.
It was a good film. Fun, but I always thought there was something missing in it. It didn’t have the same zazz and impactful moments that made the first three films special. I rate it a 7/10.
But I can’t critique the music. Hans Zimmer is amazing.
Getting a bit tired of 4th (and 5th, and 6th, and 7th...) installments in movie franchises, myself. On a side note, would love to hear your thoughts on Cabrini.
I just saw CABRINI and it was great! I hope you do a review!
In my opinion, it was about 20 minutes too long, but beautiful to look at.
He's tiptoeing around saying it sucks, some "critic"
Would love to see you review Cabrini next! From the same people that made Sound of Freedom.
Good to know about the eye surgery with 3D.
It'd be good to know what your perspective is on Cabrini.
I would love to hear your opinion on Cabrini.
Seeing Ready Player One in iMax 4k 3d on a 60x80ft screen was such a fucking amazing spectacle. 3D can add to the watching experience for certain films in High end Theatres. Nice review Chris!
Could you do a review on Cabrini?
I thought it was pretty good, like he said definitely enjoyable but also a bit boring at times, fighting wise it was good but lacked a bit compared to previous entries, and it kind of felt small? but maybe that’s because we are kind of confided to a few main characters, the ending was also a bit disappointing but also good at the same time, overall worth the watch and a solid entry, i’d rate it 7.8/10
As always I like your take on things. Also I know dragonball had an impact on you, I don't know if you've heard or not but Akira Toryiama passed away.
Bro the rock cover Jack Black did of "Hit me baby one more time" is AMAZING!!! Everyone go watch the music video he made at the premiere right now!!!
Who knew that a cover of a Britney Spears song sounds way better than the original (and this is coming from someone who's a massive Britney fan, for sure I will listen to both versions but man Jack's version was just way too dope)
@WreckIt966 I know exactly what you mean, and I think I agree! It's just that great 😂!
What does a Britney spears song have to do with Kung fu panda tho
Will you please do a review of the movie Cabrini?
Would love to see you review Cabrini
Have you seen Cabrini? Please do a review!
Any plans for a Cabrini review?
Are you going to review Sailor Moon Cosmos too?
The movie was ok..but I think these additions would have made it better
1. Shen and Po's dad could have had a moment where shen apologises for killing his wife
2. Tai lung and Shifu could also have had a similar moment, where shifu apologises to tai lung for making him who he is
3. Finally, Kai having a moment with Po acknowledging Oogway made the right choice
yea that couldve been cool
Wow that would’ve really concreted the film would’ve been wholly happy with that
Breakdown is great. Looking forward to that.
Yo you should review Cabrini it's sick
Happy you did 3D review
I love Jack Black!! But I wasn’t as excited for this movie as I thought I would. You should do a review of ‘Cabrini’. Such a powerful movie. I know animation done well can be very beautiful, but Cabrini is way better than that. Plus, the immigrant story is so impactful. Can’t way to seeing a review of that film.
Please do the double feature review for new Road House film here, and Feature presentation for Road House from 1989.
Chris are you going to post a video on your channel that Akira Toriyama has died? I’m still in shock when I heard that news.
I remember when Kung Fu Panda 2 came out, my friend worked at the movie theater and during opening weekend on a Saturday night, we got drunk and stoned, walked into a showing and there wasn't a single person in the place. We proceeded to do acrobatics over the seats and we attempted to fight one another like we were little kids. That's how uninvested we were in the movie. His coworkers got a laugh out of it. 😂
It’s basically another Toy Story 4 incident. The movie wasn’t bad, but it also wasn’t good, it was mid and overall unnecessary. I just wish companies would stop breaking trilogies that should’ve stayed trilogies just for money.
I'm excited to know your opinion on the movie. I love your videos
How long is the movie? someone said its short
Chris this is so inauthentic
If I didn't see it without my kids, it wouldn't have been as good. 5 young kids have growm up on all of the movies, and their total awe and excitement made seeing it so fun. Jack Black performoring Brittney Spears was absolutely amazing as well!!
How did you guys get early access to the movie?
How are there already reviews on this when it didn’t come out yet 💀
It’s out this weekend in the U.S.
Legit tho the adventures of PO the Panda continues
I've always LOVED All of the Kung Fu Panda movies Kung Fu Panda 2 is my favorite of the franchise so I'm still excited for Kung Fu Panda 4 hopefully around the weekend
@ChrisStuckmann huge fan and must say, Breakdown is a movie I keep meaning to watch it was recommended by my uncle and I like Kurt Russell a lot as an actor and my uncle kept telling me since, I enjoyed Joy Ride with Paul Walker that he recommended I watch, I would probably like Breakdown as well so, I think I am definitely going to check it out, I mean hell, I’ve got some free time now so I think I’ll watch it now or soon
I don't think people are done with sequels, they are done with crappy sequels. This is a great review but I think I'll wait until streaming. What do you think of Cabrini?
will you review this time?
Where i can watch this?!
I saw the movie and I thought it was okay. (Readers, if you don’t want spoilers then don’t read.)
I really liked the idea of Po having to choose a new dragon warrior and at first not accepting the change. As well as the Chameleon who summoned the all of the vanquished foes and Zhen becoming the new warrior.
My only complaint is that I feel like the final battle between the Chameleon, Po and Zhen seemed a little rushed. I feel like they could’ve done more with Viola’s character, with a couple more battles after Po’s second (and last) fight in the movie.
I also kind of wished Lord Shen had at least a few lines in the film. Maybe he could’ve said “Thank you” to Po and Zhen right before he went back to the spirit realm.
But overall it was a good movie.
(Edit, readers you don’t have to agree with me or reply to my comment as this is only my opinion.)
It cane out? There was no release date tho
Hi Chris, I know you are a Dragon Ball fan. Are you planing to make a dedication video to the late great legend Akira Toriyama?
My brother and I saw the movie yesterday after over a year rewatching the trilogy along with the non canon spin-off shows (notably Legends of Awesomeness and Paws of Destiny) and I had a lot of fun even though he was skeptical about how they're gonna continue the franchise after this. He asked "How are they gonna go from there?" and I was like, "That's a good question." I hope the Furious Five get more to do in the 5th and 6th movies considering they've been put under a bus ever since Paws of Destiny and Dragon Knight. Only time will tell though.
Did your movie get released ?
I'm looking forward to the Breakdown review
Please review Cabrini. The most empowering and uplifting movie I've seen in a long time.
Chris, besides your Kung Fu Panda 4 review, I'd like to know your take on 3D movies in 2018 - 2024, I heard you're not a fan, I really enjoy 3D films (when done right) and yeah, the technology has it's flaws and I understand the negative comments from viewers. It needed to be tweaked, changed, and improved upon before bring dropped as a consumer product, Yet.... the best viewing experience I personally had was visiting / watching a Dolby Cinema presentation of Ready Player One. I feel that 3D movies need a perfectly darkened environment, perfect contrast and colour / luminous and very little eye flicker/ strain. The Dolby Cinema "Experience" blew me away. Would be interested to hear your feelings about the state of 3D movies now and in the future.
Rip akira toriyama chris, i hope u do another dbz tribute
can't wait for breakdown. I forgot about that movie!
don’t listen to the haters chris, great review

@@thejunk2045 Ah yes, everyone who disagrees with you is a simp.
@@thejunk2045 you don't have to say. We know you are
and i know you are at grammar lol@@saifalam2030
This film was pretty solid, better than the 3rd film IMO, i can also forgive that it's like a start of the new trilogy or whatever, hopefully the 5th film will be the greatest film in the franchise, the first problem i have with the film was like they didn't give special roles or speaking lines with Lord Shen and Kai, but at least Tai Lung had sorta like a redemption arc in the film or smth, the futious 5 didn't even appear in the film, and i think they kinda greatly explained their absence until the ending where they appeared (spoiler alert!!!) but at least my dissapointed was redeemed in that moment, and the second problem i have that master oogway never even appeared even for a quick cameo in the end during Shifu's inner peace moment, it ruins the scene with like instead of oogway appearing, they had po's heads appear as like iner voices, a gag that was in earlier in the film, but i prefer this film to like the 3rd film, this was a more solid film overall for me.
It was entertaining to say the least. I believe that the film would be great introduction for the new generation to come. Though I think the main problem with the movie was the pacing. The dialogue in this movie had potential, but didn't feel natural at all. Watching the movie felt like they had to finish each scene at a short time frame, which lowered the impact of the development in the characters. Animation wise, it's new, nothing bad with new, but I personally didn't like how different it was compared to the last three movies, but I know it isn't bad, just my preference. All around, I'd say the movie stands at a solid 7/10, it was great, yet I felt it could have used more refining.
im just flashing back to in high school when people were going around school talking about how funny the first kung fu panda movie was....dang that was almost 20 years ago haha
I wish people talked much more about the amazing effects of lasik surgery!! MAN!!! changed my life!!!
excited for "multiverse" / callback stuff to stop being hamfisted into movies
I enjoyed it. The 3D was good but not stereo-rendered, so could have been a lot better
i would love a return to hand drawn animation. tired of CGI
I love when CG has a cool style to it (like Spider-Verse or the last TMNT movie).

I love both but I want to see more 2d animation.
@@wespapes2054Spiderverse action scenes are too ADHD and annoying to watch
I think not bringing back Jennifer Yuh Nelson who directed the second and third movie as well as the first movie's opening hand drawn sequence (yes that was entirely her work according to the credits) was a huge mistake that DreamWorks did. Will never understand why they didn't bring her back, she did so much to make this franchise great. Would be cool to see what she could've done with a combination of computer animation and hand drawn
Any thoughts on Blumhouse's IMAGINARY? Netflix's DAMSEL? We must know, Stucky!!!!!!!
