Pokemon: Detective Pikachu – Quick Thoughts

Detective Pikachu is an incredibly fun mix of Zootopia and Who Framed Roger Rabbit? that is a must see for even the most casual of Pokemon fans. I was entranced by the amazing CGI Pokemon and the world that they inhabited even when the plot started to feel a little familiar. The banter between Ryan … Continue reading Pokemon: Detective Pikachu – Quick Thoughts →

Shazam! – Quick Thoughts

Whoopsies! Bad opinion alert! Avert your eyes! Shazam! is my favorite superhero movie of the year so far. Even though it is first and foremost a comedy, (and it sure delivers on that front) Shazam! has a really effective emotional center to it. The depiction of the foster family feels genuine and it grounds the movie … Continue reading Shazam! – Quick Thoughts →

Ralph Breaks the Internet Movie Review: Ralph Breaks My Expectations

I love the first Wreck-It-Ralph, but I was worried when Disney revealed that the movie would be focused on the internet. It seemed like an unnatural and cash-grabby thing to do. But while watching the movie, it was obvious that this was the natural evolution of these characters, and the internet feels like the natural … Continue reading Ralph Breaks the Internet Movie Review: Ralph Breaks My Expectations →

Harry Ranking Hullaballoo: All Ten Films in the Harry Potter Universe Ranked

Harry Potter will always have a special place in my heart. I started reading the books because my parents said I could watch the PG-13 ones if I finished them. The idea of viewing a scandalous PG-13 motion picture enthralled me, and I immediately picked up the first book at the library. I blew through … Continue reading Harry Ranking Hullaballoo: All Ten Films in the Harry Potter Universe Ranked →

The Crimes of Grindelwald Movie Review: The Latest Entry Into the ‘Wizarding World’ is a Magical Mess

When I walked out of The Crimes of Grindelwald, I was exhausted. The movie clocks in at 2 hours and 14 minutes, the exact runtime of the first Fantastic Beasts movie. Despite this, Crimes of Grindelwald feels much longer and bloated than it's predecessor. This is because of the overhaul of subplots that are sprinkled … Continue reading The Crimes of Grindelwald Movie Review: The Latest Entry Into the ‘Wizarding World’ is a Magical Mess →

Star Wars: The Last Jedi – Movie Review

Original Post: https://moviemort.wixsite.com/moviemort/single-post/2017/12/18/Star-Wars-The-Last-Jedi-Review This movie is very controversial. I get why. It takes risks. It goes places you wouldn't except and does ballsy things with the characters. It could have stayed safe like Episode 7 and it would still be loved and it would still be fun. It might even be more accepted by the … Continue reading Star Wars: The Last Jedi – Movie Review →

(This ranking does not represent future Aiden's thoughts.) Original Post: https://moviemort.wixsite.com/moviemort/single-post/2017/11/23/Disney-Animated-Films-Ranked Over the years, Disney has made some fantastic movies.
