TL2025moviewatch : Freakier Friday

 

𝐌𝐆𝐃 𝐓𝐢𝐦'𝐬 𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 -- Freakier Friday

“Freaky Friday” is one of Lindsay Lohan’s and Disney’s iconic movie over the years. People still talk about the chemistry between Lindsay and Jamie Lee Curtis that carried the whole movie.

So, after more than 20 years, the question is.. would the sequel worthy of it? Honestly, it’s one of those sequels that just elevate the franchise.

 

The chemistry is still strong even after decades, and even with the strong outing from the new cast members. The whole “chaos” was beautifully written. You will laugh and cry throughout the movie.

 

One of Disney’s better sequels in years.

 

TL says 8/10

 

TL2025moviewatch - Elio

 

“Are we alone in the universe?”

 

Yet again, Pixar took something familiar (as in that scientific question) and then, inject emotions and meaning to it. And boom, another hit by Pixar.

 

Honestly, this gonna be one of the shortest review by me because I am just blown away by the good story telling.

 

I won’t say much but go and enjoy the ride. Emotional ride, that is.

 

8.5/10, largely because of the storyline.

TL2025moviewatch : HTTYD2025

Following the Disney’s recent route of turning animated classic into live-action, HTTYD manages to capture the charm of its animated movie while offering a beautiful interpretation of its live-action world

Plot doesn’t moved far away from its animated reference, but the live-action version still manages to built its own uniqueness and charm through the actors. You can’t have a movie without the awesome Gerard Butler (who played Stoick in both versions) who did brilliantly here. You can say the casting for the characters were on point, like Hiccup.

Dragons were animated well here, I guess they try to make it not too scary while keeping it close to the animated ones.. especially Toothless, who does look as though it jump straight from animated version, but seriously, you can’t go far or change much from its look... or else, the fans will revolt..

Family-friendly movie. So it’s another 7.5/10 from me

 

TLmoviewatch2025 : Lilo & Stitch

 

Disney’s live action adaption of their classic cartoon movies have been hits and misses.. although I would say lots of misses...

Lilo & Stitch however, will be on the side of hits.

If you are fan of the cartoon version, you will certainly enjoy this one. Of course the plot is pretty much the same but they were still able to translate the charm into this movie, well.. from cast to the plot, the message, the vibes. Lilo’s casting is on point.

Fun fact : go and spot who are the original cartoon cast that re-appeared in this movie.

Glad that they actually “controlled” Stitch from being too wacky, it’s just the “right” tone for it to be crazy yet charming too. While they have altered a bit of the minor plots, the message of family is strong in this.

Enjoyable. Although I wished that they did that classic Elvis song...

7/10

TL2025moviewatch : mission impossible - final reckoning

Final reckoning indeed.

One of the longest running movie franchises. Saying the word RUNNING got me imagining Tom Cruise running.... but it’s also best describe my feeling about this franchise – like I started this marathon, there’s ups and downs and now you feel glad that you have reached the final lap.

Indeed this has been Tom's baby, anytime u think of M.i, you think of Tom. Imagine.. from his young fresh face in the first one till the old rugged Tom in this one.

May not be as hard hitting as some of previous ones, as they were a lot of draggy scenes but to those who have been following M.i. for a long time, there's a scene of satisfaction to see how all builds towards a nice ending.

A nice closure to the whole franchise.

7.5/10
