@Kermit1 Just looked at the slate. Not bad but I'm mostly just happy Gunn is leading the pack. Also Shazam 3 hopefully happens. Honestly it could be standalone, Shazam is barely connected to the DCEU.
It's perhaps a bit too long and some of the night scenes are way too dark (I think this is more of a Disney+ problem than one of the film itself as I've had the problem in some of their series, though the scene where Namor first snuck up on Shuri & her mother was so dark it was almost like just watching a bunch of disembodied voices, lol), however the tributes to T'challa (and Chadwick Boseman himself) were well done & emotional (I was almost tearing up by the after credits scene), and when it got around to it the action was fun (Namor in particular was pretty badass).
Return of Godzilla/Godzilla 1984 (Blu-Ray)
Original Japanese version.
80's (soft) reboot of the classic Kaiju film series that acts as a direct followup to the 50's original, aiming to bring it back down to it's roots as more a grounded warning of the power of nuclear power, in contrast to the campy monster "vs" movies the series had become over the past couple decades.
After the titular monster awakens from a decades long slumber it attacks a Soviet nuclear submarine & Japan finds itself in the middle of Cold War drama as the Soviets & Americans jointly agree that the best course of action would be to nuke him out of existence right on Tokyo's doorstep, and the Japanese must find a way to neutralize the threat before real catastrophe strikes.
It mostly still holds up, all things considered. It does feel like there was at least some level of pressure to shoehorn in some toy marketing material with the whole "Super X" subplot (a futuristic flying war machine with laser blasters & the like), but otherwise the more political elements & pretty grounded military capabilities make the effort successful.
Lyle Lyle Crocodile on Netflix, to my surprise this movie was up on the service. Mom and I watched this one and we both loved it. A good chunk of the movie brought a smile to my face, and the musical numbers were pretty fun. The story was rather sweet, a crocodile helps a boy overcome his fear of moving to New York City, while helping the boy's family enjoy the things they love to do, but lost interest in. Seeing Mr. Primm body slam Allister Grumps was satisfying, boy I did not like Grumps at all.
The resident Trolls superfan! Saw Trolls Band Together via early access and absolutely loved it!
