So yesterday I watched #Frozen . Which was visually beautiful, had some stunning songs and really lacked on that whole a good sequential plot thing-y. It was okay-good, and I liked it, buuut I dont really think that mwahaha, Imma villain turn was necessary. Felt almost like in the middle of the process of movie-making the executors thought you know, we absolutely need to put an old-style baaad guy here - and made Hans an out-of-nowhere-villain. (Because if that was the plan from the beginning, most of his actions dont make sense. Seriously, why not just finish off the Snow Queen when he had so many opportunities?) Or maybe it was the initial plan to end him up with Elza - but then producers figured out that it might piss off many angry voices (for eternal misogyny of Disney or whatever other reason)... And then theyve completely repatched the story. Which is still okay: like I said, I absolutely loved how the act of true love came out, the voices of Idina Menzel and Kristen Bell were fantastic, Olaf was a great comic relief and ooh, all that snow animation! Script flaws - yes, absolutely, its no Beauty and the Beast, but Frozen IS a good deal of fun. *Although that trailer is still better paced than the actual movie. And no awesome Don LaFontaine-sque Narrator voice, bummer.* ------- And today I finally watched #Justice_League_War that just came out. Boy, does it delivers! I was initially worried about this one after the Flashpoint, but WOW, was it cool! I loved the fight sequences, and that teamwork was the greatest! What concerned me in trailers - the progressively more animeish-visual style, voice casting choices (except for Alan Tudyk for Superman. Dude you rock. I wished Nathan Fillion was there for the Green Lantern again this time.) - that doesnt bothered me at the slightest. I loved JL:War, it was fun, energetic, badass, well paced, and succeed at making such a multi-POV and -place story engaging and exiting. Plus, it provided me with some nice almost shippy-moments with Superman/Wonder Woman. And its an OTP here, people =) So in the end: Da, I absolutely enjoyed Justice League: War better than Frozen (which btw had Alan Tudyk in it, too). And Im pretty sure I wouldve liked it more as a kid, as well. Because consistency rules, mother-warm-huggers! ------- PS: I think after yesterday I need to rewatch #Rear_Window to really appreciate all the dialog. It is a fun thing to watch a film like that in a good talking-laughing company, just probably not for the first time.
