The Chinese fantastic beast is stolen from Star Wars including the sound effect. Likewise the film has nothing to offer except for pretty costumes and good acting.

Marriage Story
(2019)
Great craftsmanship
29 December 2020
Great craftsmanship but the content is only supported by the acting of the two protagonists. If I'd had a glass of wine, I might be able to pull a metaphor for theater vs film out of my hat...
(Also shies away from showing a bad and manipulativ mother but has no problems of showing a dad who's trieing and failing.)
Beautiful animation style

Low Budget Disney
29 December 2020
Shows a child-friendly, cute puppy story rather than the really tough survival drama. Therefore everyone in the audience will end up crying at the end.
Terrible color filter to hide the cheap CGI paired with bad layering.
Shazam!

Surprising
29 December 2020
The best DC film I've seen so far and one of the best origin stories.
Unfortunately the film weakens after 2/3 with a mediocre, predictable ending.
Also it is questionable whether a second part can maintain the charm.
First Blood
(1982)
Social Critic mixed with Action
29 December 2020
White system-, social- and Vietnam war critic shown as a chaos spiral.
Allows the male protagonist to show physical strength and emotional weakness without labelling him as weak.
None diverse cast, also only one woman present for a short time.
A Fistful of Dollars
(1964)
Great Film
29 December 2020
Fast draw and charming like Lucky Luke, cunning like Petyr Baelish.
Paired with a fast moving plot, where you actually can miss something while looking at your phone for a secound.
(Only two woman present but at least none of them is the wining price at the end.)
