Raya and the Last Dragon Movie Review

There's a Skyrim Meme in This

I saw Raya and the Last Dragon the other day with one of my friends, and it was nice to get out to a theater again. 
Raya and the Last Dragon follows Raya, a warrior searching for the last Dragon to help save the world.
That was probably one of the shortest plot synopsis's I've written on here. But the really question is, how was it? Well dear reader, it was fine. I mean, your kids will like it. There are some fun side characters, and there was some beautiful scenery. The musical score was also solid. The only real problem I had with Raya and the Last Dragon was the main character.
I gotta say, the voice acting in this film is top notch. The actors were in their element and each and every one of them did a great job. I really loved the secondary characters in this film. They brought so much life to this production. 
The music is also really solid in Raya and the Last Dragon. But this isn't a "musical" in the style Disney is typically known for. What I mean is, the characters don't sing. I was kind of expecting that going in, and I think it would have worked, but nonetheless, the music is still good.
I wasn't a big fan of Raya herself. She blunders a lot in the film, which is typically fine and can add some good conflict. However, she doesn't seem to take 5 seconds to think things through when it comes to other characters. When she's interacting with the environment around her, she's fantastic! But like I said, when it comes to other characters, I think the script writers could have taken another day or two to work on that development.
The color scheme is very vibrant and the shots are well crafted. I'm not the biggest fan of 3D animated films, but Raya and the Last Dragon did a great job. If you have kids, they will probably enjoy Raya and the Last Dragon.
But for my own personal opinion, I think Raya and the Last Dragon was pretty good overall, but I don't think this film will have staying power. It runs the risk of becoming dated.. But for the time being, if there's nothing else out there that pulls your interest, I'd say give it a watch. Oh! and let me know in the comments if you find the Skyrim Meme in the film! 


final score: 3/5

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...
