    *NO SPOILERS* The first thing I will say is that I've never read the book. That may be a bad thing, but I prefer to think it means I'm un-biased. this movie was an interesting story idea, but they didn't do great on the CGI and really didn't finish the plot line. At the end of the movie you really just ended up with the same problem there was at the beginning. It really felt amateur for a Disney movie and I was very underwhelmed. Two stars.

    *NO SPOILERS* Buckle in 'cause this will be a long review! this movie had some high and low points. As a girl with multiple young siblings, this movie has been played on repeat tirelessly in my home. Somehow (even though it may become annoying ) it has stayed as one of my favorite movie releases of 2020. I'll list some of the reasons why this movie was so well done. The first thing that comes to mind is how it was able to bring some nostalgia to the older audience. I was only in second grade when Frozen 1 came out and still have seeing it in theaters as one of my favorite memories. Sadly, over the years the movie became sort of a joke. Most children found Let It Go cringy and never gave it a second thought, where as in Frozen 2, they brought our favorite characters to a new light. There was a lot more backstory for Elsa and her parents, while still recognizing the struggle Anna has went through. On the side a sweet love story for Kristoff and Anna, and Olaf had plenty of adventures and discovery. We were also introduced to lots of new characters, like the Northuldra tribe and the Arendelian soldiers. The one thing they didn't do as well was the music. Yes, it was beautiful music, but the lyrics were to wordy and not as memorable. A simple example is that most people couldn't even remember the song title, let alone the lyrics themselves. But if you asked them the lyrics to let it go? they could belt it out right there! Writing music can be a double edged sword, but with all the time and effort the designers put into this movie they still could have done better. With all that put aside, it was still a wonderful movie and I encourage all of my readers to watch it. Five stars!

    Anyway, I went to an early screening of this movie last night and it was amazing. You should absolutely go see it. (When it comes out anyway!) I have been a big fan of this book for a while and I FLIPPED when the trailer came out. I love video games and movies so this book was a jackpot. I will warn anyone who has read the book and wants to see the movie. It is NOT a exact replica of the book! Don't go into it with that mindset! The premise is still the same. Wade, Aech, Art3mis, Halliday's Egg, Nolan Sorrento, The Sixers, they're all still there! But the challenges have been changed for a wider audience, (So 10-year-olds don't have to be confused as to every eighties reference.) and the aesthetic of the OASIS is tuned to a slightly more modern selection of viewers. I also loved I-Rok's new role. (NO spoilers for you! ) I am NOT saying this movie sucked because of the changes made. If anything I am saying the opposite! The book is still better, (Like most book to movie adaptations.) but the movie is amazing. I expected nothing less from Speilberg and his amazing team. The actors, score, and visuals were phenomenal and I cant wait to go back to find the millions (And I mean MILLIONS!) of easter eggs and references in this movie! Kudos to you, Speilberg! My Rating/Award- Five Stars and Best Video Game Movie I've Ever Seen!

    I have watched the incredibles movie many times over so when I heard about the vol.2 coming out I was just buzzing with excitement! I wont give spoilers but this movie was super good. there was much more humor in this one than the first but it still had action and introduced many new character and their personalities were amazing! I totally recommend it and give it five stars!

    this movie was AMAZING!!! I am a major spider-man enthusiast and if you are too I promise you this movie is worth the over priced ticket. there are so many different angles you could come from when talking about how great this movie is and I will do my best to cover all of them. the first is art. the art style of this movie was phenomenal. it has new designs mixed with the classic comic book art. you can notice through out the movie the colored dots and exclamations that resemble the art style from the comics. the next is simple, the story line. a movie, book, play, etcetera, is only good if it has a great story line. this movie had parts that are funny, sad, action packed, shocking and so on but it stayed in line with the story. then there is my favorite, the theories. this movie gives opening to so many different fan fictions you cant even count! given how in this movie you introduced to fact that there are many different universes with many different "spider people" then viewers can make up their own. another thing is that their are many different villains as well and with all these new doors opened the possibilities are endless! i have to wrap this up so, the bottom line is that this movie is great and you should watch it. five stars! please check out the other marvel reviews I've done. p.s. here is an Easter egg, in the scene miles and peter are escaping doc ocs lab peter hands miles a bagel and miles ends up throwing the bagel and hitting somebody in the corner of the screen when it hits that person instead of saying "pow!" or "boom!" it says "BAGEL" and its hilarious!
