The Shape Of Water Movie Review

So I'm a little late to this one but, here I am, finally reviewing The Shape of Water. I wanted to see this movie when it came out, and if you know me you know I really wanted to go and see this movie. The real question is, is it good though?
First off I want to say that the design of the creature was truly, visually amazing. I don't think it's any secret that they took inspiration from Creature of the Black Lagoon. The overall design of the amphibian man was spectacular.
Another thing I liked was the color scheme of the movie, there was a constant theme of green throughout the entire film. So for this type of movie I would say that was a perfect choice, and I probably would have done the same.
The music in this movie is done pretty well, but it's not that memorable. I don't think I heard any horns in the score now that I think about it.
Now onto the acting of the film. It was... decent for the most part, but I couldn't feel like all of the actors were giving it there all. The story was alright but it wasn't executed to it's full potential. So with the acting it was a bit of a let down.
Would I watch this movie again? Maybe if it was for free on tv. I could be completely wrong on this one, but I'm just not feeling it. What did you think of the movie? Tell me in the comments.
Is this movie worth a watch at least once? Yeah, yeah I think you should watch this movie at least once if you haven't seen it yet. Part of me wants to rate this movie a 3 but on some of the technical notes in this film, I feel like that would not do it justice. So, I think that I just might have to rate it a little higher.


final score: 3.2/5

Uncharted Movie Review

Uncharted Movie Review Not As Good As The Games I went and saw the movie Uncharted a while ago, and it was as I expected it to be. If you are a fan of the games, well... prepare for disappointment. Uncharted follows Nathan Drake (Tom Holland), a low level thief as he is recruited by Victor Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) to go on a treasure hunt. As someone who has played some of the games, but not all, I have to say that the Uncharted film is what I thought it would be. A mishmash of all four games but not committing to any of them. The acting is a bit stale, and the plot is predictable. The camera work was fine, but the music was underused. Tom Holland should not have been Nathan Drake. He lacks the charisma, the attitude, and the charm. He may have passed for a teenage Nathan Drake, but he should have only been in a few scenes. I'm not the biggest fan of Tom Holland either long time readers may know. Now, onto Mark Wahlberg as Victor Sullivan. Mark Wahlberg is way too young to be playi...

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...

Penny Dreadful City Of Angels Season 1 Episode 1 Review

Penny Dreadful City Of Angels Season 1 Episode 1 Review  Had To Think About This One A Bit If you haven't noticed, I'm a fan of Penny Dreadful . I did address my early thoughts on the new series a little while ago , and now that it's out, I thought I would give my thoughts on the first episode. For the description I'm going to quote IMDB , " Los Angeles, 1938. LAPD detective Tiago Vega and his partner, Lewis Michener, investigate a murder. While at City Hall, Tiago's activist brother Raul Vega battles with the fiery Councilman Charlton Townsend over the construction of California's first freeway. Meanwhile, Peter Craft, the head of the German-American Bun, meets Elsa, the mysterious mother of one of his patients. Sensing danger, Tiago's mother Maria pleads with Santa Muerte to protect her family as the rising tensions in the city threaten to explode." From what I've seen from other reviewers has been very mixed. And here's my two...
