The bodyhorror is excellent and i think thats what makes it so good.

The unnerving realization of being melted into one thing is pretty disturbing.
It allows for the body horror to Excell

but also the atmosphere of every scene. Idk I just fucking loved this, I love horror.
I guess Dave Franco's performance was not that good but man I don't care when it's such a delight to watch

Pixars best.

One of the best superhero stories ever told on the big screen.
From hellen and bob's chemistry to syndrome being an amazing and memorable villain, the incredibles is bursting with passion and understanding of the superhero genre.
If brad bird wasn't in directors jail for like 10 years he would have made some more bangers like this.

Least scary horror movie ever made.

As a horror movie it fails, as a film it fails in its characters at least.
The story is pretty good but the execution is dogshit.
No i do not like any of these characters and so i don't really care what happens.
The reason i liked beau is afraid so much and by extension hereditary is because they were genuinely very interesting films to watch and think about. Beau is afraid is like one of my favorite films ever.
But this just feels entirely numb.

Cube is pretty disturbing but in a more human way.
Its villain is not some alien or super natural force but eachother.
I like most of its cast besides like the teenage girl.
Its shot decently.

really fucking ugly to look at.
hollands version of spider man has never truly felt like the title character, he felt more like peter parker in name only.
tom is not a terrible actor but i honestly feel like his line delivery was allot of the time the same, the same tone and mannerismes for like anything happening.

also his trilogy is very fucking ugly visually, especially this one.
the worst offender in this is that on paper, without the nostalgia fan baiting its pretty decent in terms of story but then the nostalgia fan baiting gets inserted and it loses me.
every spoken word between all three spider men feel cringey and weak.
all of these movies have a pretty weak script.
i don't think tobey and garfield's version feel allot different from their original flicks but there is a strange weirdness to they're dynamic.
praising eachother every chance they get which does not feel natural at all and just the lines they chose for both returning spider men and villains feel incredible forced.
"im something of a scientist myself" is cool, its a meme but you aren't trying to win me over that making the old villains the villains in this film isn't just for a buck.
tom himself is fine but there is an issue when it comes to may's sacrifice and thats the fact may is not a character in these movies.
she has no personality(this counts for ned and mj aswell)

jon watts is not a specifically good director and just a larger issue with this universe is its goal to form these characters into the same tone.

the film still has one scene with my goat julius dell however.

i think fans of the trilogy over the last few weeks have been irritatingly exhausting because of the brand new day suit and set pictures.
i think there is something like but there is also things to hate and saying you can't be excited to see brand new day if you didn't like tom's trilogy is kinda bullshit.

Kinda ass.
Idk man, there is no weight.
No weight in aunt may finding out, no weight in mj finding out and for how funny jacob batalon's delivery is, ned is really not an interesting character.

Julius dell was the mvp of this film.

I think there is something special underneath.
It's gore and fun and disturbing but it also kinda follows allot of beats as other horror movies with similaire themes.

Allot of times these types of films are about families but I think grief is way more then that and I think there is allot of ways people grief for many different people.
Idk I think I'm just tired of family.
Like I don't know how to say but I just think it should have been more sad.
The gore is good, I think its cast is pretty great especially Sally Hawkins, it's score is fine. It's looks good with some neat camera movements.
It's one of the better horror films that tackle this subject but it's not one I would rave about.

a fine example of the ability of animation to tell a story told only threw grunts, mannerismes and facial expressions.
its really great and the music is amazing aswell.
