Joe Hughes' Film reviews

#11: Stardog and TurboCat I only found out about this in late October/Early November. Looked quite cheap in terms of production.  Back when I wanted to Queen's Corgi during August, I only wanted to see that because Sheridan Smith voiced one of the characters.  For this film, I had no reason to watch this other than pushing the 9 films to 11. This was below average. Throughout the film was a inconsistent use of the microphone. One moment the voice actors would sound decent and clear. The next, they'd sound like they were talking through a literal phone/Skype-ing in their lines. That happened through THE whole film. Apart from the textures and lighting being greater than QC. This film was abysmal. 4/10 #10: Cats I was really mainly interested in this because of Taylor Swift. Cats is 104 minutes too long. That is the whole runtime. It bored me to death. Not even Taylor Swift could save it and she was the one reason I actually wanted to see that. She...

#9: Midway This was one of my most uninterested movies of this month. It just seems like they are trying to recapture Pearl Harbour's prestige but with today's visual effects. This was mediocre. The first major death was unemotional as the friendship wasn't exactly established. The action set pieces were ok but lacked the meaning behind of them. It may have been based on a true story. But I was hoping one of the pilot's would've sacrificed themselves to help their team(ie having the plane nose dive into one of the Japan ships) I honestly felt more sympathy toward "The Villains" of this story, Japan, than I did America.  There was one part that was meant to be serious but it made me laugh. One of the Japanese villagers shook hands with an American pilot who just bombed a part of their country. It would've been a damn sight better if the villager emotionally hugged the pilot saying 'Thank you!' while sobbing. All in all, this...

#9: Gemini Man I really just wanted to see this because Mary Elizabeth Winstead is in it. The concept of this film seemed very ego-centric in terms of Will Smith standards. From the advertisements, it seem like they(Skydance) were gloating about how many screening types there are for this film since it's in 4DX, Imax and 3D. First off, the CG action sequences were dreadful(Early 2000s esque). I'm not the kind of person who suss out which parts were CG and which were not but wow. It was so easy to see the imperfections. The amount of ADR during was shocking especially since Will Smith filmed the scenes twice(one from the older version of himself and one for the younger version). Literally the only redeeming thing about this was Mary Elizabeth Winstead, the only part that really interested me. 3/10 #8: Addams Family(2019) I just wanted to see this because it would fill the 10 slots as well as it starring Chloe-Grace Moretz and Elsie Fisher. This was ok, not...
