‘Sonic The Hedgehog 3’ (2024) Review

'Sonic The Hedgehog 3' (2024) Review : The Best Sonic Yet It’s hard to talk about Sonic without remembering how far he’s came from. After all, one redesign of the title character changed the game, allowing for a franchise to be born. One that seems to be getting bigger and better with each entry. Despite saving the world from a giant rampaging robot in the last film, Sonic The Hedgehog 3 significantly ups the ante delivering the most dramatic and compelling one yet.As the story has developed, so have the characters. Sonic sped onto the scene as a lonely alien playing baseball with himself. Now, he’s a member of a full fledged family, celebrating the anniversary of his arrival on Earth with two other aliens and his human companions. It’s a touching way to start the film, and a reminder of how far he’s come and just how much he has to lose. Loss is the central theme of Sonic The Hedgehog 3, with fan favourite character Shadow The Hedgehog presented as the living embodiment of grief. Though powerful and quick, Sonic and his friends can’t hold a candle to the sheer might of the Keanu Reeves voiced villain. Watching a group of anthropromorphized colourful animals battle it out in the streets of Tokyo shouldn’t be nearly this exciting, but the action choreography is well balanced, character driven, and just plain fun.As dramatic as it sounds, it should be made abundantly clear how…

‘Kraven The Hunter’ (2024) Review

‘Kraven The Hunter’ (2024) Review

'Kraven The Hunter' (2024) Review : Wasted Potential Bafflingly, Kraven The Hunter is yet another film based on a character from the supporting roster of Spider-Man. Thus far, the web head’s cinematic success hasn't spilled over to any of the other contenders in this category, but maybe this time will be different. After all, the approach of turning villains into anti heroes has been a misguided strategy that failed Morbius, but somewhat worked for Venom. Unfortunately Kraven The Hunter more aligns with the former. If you know nothing about Kraven The Hunter, the film gets you up to speed with a fairly decent first act. A brutal action sequence sees Kraven taking his hunt to the seediest of society. His special set of skills are directed to the worst of the worst. It’s not the most conventional career choice, but thankfully, Kraven takes a nice long plane ride to think about his entire life. The extended flashback section of the film is carried by Russel Crowe and his thick russian accent, playing a young Kraven’s father. His character is a brick wall of a man who sees his wife’s death by suicide as weakness, and decides to aid his children’s grief by taking them on a hunt for a man eating lion. What’s most frustrating about Kraven The Hunter is its wasted potential. Aaron Taylor-Johnson is a russian assassin, but thanks to being raised in the US, he sounds as threatening as a greeter at…

‘Moana 2’ (2024) Review

‘Moana 2’ (2024) Review

'Moana 2' (2024) Review : A Crowd Pleasing Second Act It’s been a while since Moana’s musical journey of self discovery enthralled audiences. With nothing but her trusty oar and a song in her heart, she braved the ocean, broke a curse, and befriended a demigod. All that adventure put her in a prominent position in her tribe, giving her free reign to embark on an all new excursion where she’ll brave the ocean, break a curse, and hang out with her demigod friend.The second verse is the same as the first, but Moana 2 has a decent amount of development. Instead of fighting for a chance to prove herself, Moana is older and wiser, taking into account the risks of her globe-trotting ways. As she travels, she longs to connect her people to anyone who might be out there beyond the horizon, but constantly thinks about her loved ones back home.Thankfully Moana has a few loved ones to take with her. Accompanying her is not just a squawking chicken, but an entire crew. The supporting characters each get their moments to shine and provide more than enough comedy through their growth from islanders to sailors. Moana’s leadership skills get tested with her set of trainees, who come face to face with dangers of the natural world and more.Moana 2 leans heavily into the weird and wonderful. The characters encounter creatures and beings of all sorts, making for some visually fascinating designs.…
