Bright Netflix Movie Review

So a few days ago I saw the movie Bright on Netflix, staring Will Smith and Joel Edgerton, and this was a good movie.
This is an urban fantasy film that follows Daryl Ward (Will Smith) a human and Nick Jakoby (Joel Edgerton) an orc, as two cops that find a magic wand and an elf girl named Tikka (Lucy Fry) and everyone is trying to get the wand.
The movie is effective at what it does and it is highly enjoyable. The comedy is great, and it hits almost every time. The more emotional moments hit pretty well for the most part. The action is really well done, and was a thrill to watch.
The dynamics of Ward and Jakoby are interesting, because they do go through a interesting arc together and it is portrayed in an effective way that shows growth in their characters.
The music in this movie is well done, but could have been improved in certain areas, but for the most part it works. The lighting, with it's contrast between light and dark, is very effective and fits the movie well overall.
The cameramen must have had a lot of fun working on this, because there are some really fun shots in this movie.
From what I heard, Netflix is making a sequel to this movie, and I would watch it if they make it as good as this one was. Bright is a good action movie that has well timed jokes and has heart at times, though it's not a perfect film, it is a highly enjoyable film that, to me looks like it is a rewatchable movie. It's nice to see Will Smith in a movie, it's been awhile since I last saw him in something. This one is worth watching and I would recommend it to almost anyone.


final score: 4/5

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Movie Review

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Movie Review This Was My Dad's Idea Well... I went and saw Dora and the Lost City of Gold today with my dad, and... the film was a lot funnier than it has any right to be. Dora and the Lost City of Gold is a live action adaptation of the Dora tv show on Nickelodeon. Dora, now a teenager, is sent to the City to live with her cousin, Diego, while her parents go exploring for a lost City. When her parents go missing, Dora and her new friends go and search for her parents. I can't believe I'm going to say this, but the movie wasn't half bad. There is a ton of tongue and cheek humor. There is some cringe to the Dora and the Lost City of Gold too, but remember, this is a movie made for kids. As a kids film, it does a fine job. The acting was fine, and for a kids film, everyone did alright. Isabela Moner, who played Dora, did a good job portraying the character from what I remember about the show when I was very young. What surprised...

Norsemen Netflix Show Review So Far

Norsemen Netflix Show Review So Far The funniest show I've seen in years I've been watching a show on Netflix called Norsemen, and I swear this is the funniest show I've seen in years! I can't understate how funny this show can really be, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say about 90% of the jokes land. Norsemen starts off in 790 AD, and follows a few Vikings and their slaves. The show goes through their lives and their trials, but it's done with a comedic spin. If you haven't yet, watch the trailer above to get a better idea of the show. I will say this, this show reminds me of Monty Python ! Some of the jokes Norsemen  are gut busting, and will almost have you rolling on the floor laughing. In an age of bad comedies this show is gold.  I just started watching season 2 the other day, and I just want to keep watching. The episodes are about a half hour long each, and it's the perfect time frame to get the story across. I wouldn't c...
