@EaglyTheKawaiiShika oh I couldn’t give a toss about Avatar, I will see it sooner or later but if I don’t then I wouldn’t be hugely fussed.
It’s just after a couple pages of you forcibly comparing it to a Marvel movie to complain about it because you mostly watch superhero films I can see the valid criticism that Marvel is ruining cinema for everyone by dumbing it down. Before I’ve always held the view people can just see other better films if they want something else but seemingly anything that not in the mould of the Marvel template will be rejected. You only have to look at this thread where the conversation is constantly either Disney or superheroes that people only want the same movie anyway so yeah, Marvel have f’d cinema for everyone by conditioning the audience to only want one thing from a blockbuster.
Funnily enough I don’t think the newer Marvel films are as bad as people make them out to be despite me condemning Marvel for ruining cinema lol
Just got back from Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. That was easily the best movie I’ve seen this year, bar none. Everything about it was practically perfect, and I have no issues aside from some of the humor not quite landing for me.
The story was fantastic, the animation was beautiful, and the villains were so good. I won’t spoil any of my other thoughts as I don’t want to ruin anything, however I have a major spoiler that I need to talk about. DO NOT CLICK IF YOU HAVEN’T WATCHED THIS YET:
At the end when they were on the boat headed to Far Far Away and SHREK’S THEME started playing my friends and I collectively lost our minds. I seriously cannot wait for the next movie, whether it’s Shrek 5 or Puss in Boots 3.

Narrative isn't particularly engaging but does an admirable job setting up a reason for the central characters to be in conflict, and it does a great job making sure every playable character shows up at least once (usually making sure they're involved in a fight at that). I want to particularly point out the E. Honda/Dahlsim bout that briefly takes on a "side view" emulating the viewpoint of playing the game, and the Chun-Li/Vega encounter which has a genuinely tense buildup (and the shower scene is certainly a plus), and then is absolutely the most intense, exhilarating fight in the entire film. I will say that for some reason I kinda start to lose a bit of interest by the time the final confrontation with Bison rolls around, but ultimately I'd say it still sticks the landing.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika I was not expecting anything to beat The Batman for me, but this movie ran circles around it. It is one of the best movies Dreamworks has ever done in my opinion.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika I completely agree with your point about not relying on Shrek nostalgia. That was definitely one thing I was worried about going into it. But it hardly references the previous films at all, which I think it’s great. It was perfect to just flesh out the characters of that specific movie.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika I can't wait for Shrek to go into the Shrek multi-verse and see the other Shreks like Chris Farley Shrek and Chris Rock Shrek then save the Shek-Verse from an evil Shrek voiced by famous person.
@EaglyTheKawaiiShika I can’t wait for it to come to streaming so I can see this movie! I have heard so many good things about it, and this made me even more excited.
