Love on a Leash (2011)
Alright, grab on ya pizza faced cinder block.
Nothing you can say can describe this absolute masterpiece. This movie is quite possibly one of the worst movies ever made, which makes it one of the best movies ever made. I can't recommend it enough, it is hilarious. If you thought The Room or Birdemic was funny, you haven't seen anything. This movie is a whole nother level.
The Walking Dead (2010)
A long ride that gets worse the farther you go.
What else can you say about The Walking Dead at this point. The early seasons were good, and ever since season 5 the show has been on a sharp decline. It seems like the writers have to avoid everything the comics have done, which makes sense on paper but flops in execution. If you're going to divert from your source material to stop spoilers, at least do something good with it. The early seasons did a pretty good job with this, but it's been going downhill and fast. Seasons 8 and 9 are the worst by far, and made the worst diversions from the comics. No spoilers, but don't watch them. Watch up to season 6 or 7 and then stop and read the comics, a series which actually had some thought put into it.
Steven Universe: The Movie (2019)
Don't read if you don't want a critique of your favorite show.
This review is subjective, don't get too emotional if you don't like what I have to say, its just my opinion.
I'm no critic, not by any stretch of the imagination, but I feel like I have to say something about this movie. I've watched Steven Universe since it first premiered, and it only gets worse as you get older. There's a lot of reasons to complain about the show, from it's normalization of space Nazis who have killed trillions of people, to it's awful animation. Just look it up on youtube and you will find many in depth reviews that can do a much better job at criticizing it than me. The movie shows promise of making Steven Universe good again, or at least as good as it can be. Lets start out with the good.
As always, the music in Steven Universe is very good, and helps set the tone of all the scenes. It's basically a musical, since most of the major scenes are guided by the music. "Other friends" is an amazing track, speaking of which lets get to the character introduced with that track. The villain is amazing as well. After the flop that was the diamonds, I was expecting Spinel to be the same. Surprisingly though, she is a very good character and makes a great villain who actually deserves to be redeemed. Her entrance is the best scene in the movie, hands down. Great music, great animation and choreography, just all around fantastic. After this however, she falls from her pedestal. While she's her happy go lucky self, she is relegated to a background character, following Steven around while he attempts to bring his friends back. Once she heads back to the garden, she picks up again. Her backstory is sad and actually makes you feel really sorry for her, as one of the many, many people who Pink Diamond screwed over. Her rationalization of Steven betraying her makes sense after all she's gone through, and the final battle with Steven is fun and action packed. The way she moves around is extremely fun and bouncy, providing a different style of fighting from what we're used to, just a breath of fresh air. She is by far the best character in the movie, and I would be glad to see her later in the series.
One big thing that the movie improves on from the show is the animation. I don't know who they got to animate this movie, but it greatly improves it from the show. The action scenes stand out above all else. You'd have to watch them yourselves to see how great they are, like Spinel's entrance fight. I hope the rest of the series looks like this, because that's one of its biggest flaws. As for the other characters, not much has changed except Steven. Steven is now older, and that's really it. He's still the same light hearted kid we all know and hate. His whole thing at the end where he says he has to keep changing and nothing can stay the same forever is a nice little message, but isn't anything ground breaking.
The voice acting and singing is the same as always, good. That's as far as it goes, except for Spinel. Sarah Stiles did a phenomenal job voice acting this crazy and erratic character. Maybe it's because i'm so used to Steven sounding like a squeaker who you meet on 360, but he sounds worse.
Now for the bad. The story is mediocre at best. We have a big macguffin that's going to destroy the planet, we have to stop it. It's at its worst when Steven has to try and bring back his friends, and its at its best when we are focusing on Spinel. She isn't anything new really, but her character really carries the scenes focusing on her, and the whole movie really. She's another person Steven needs to redeem, who wants to destroy the earth, blah blah blah. I'm just glad she actually deserves to be redeemed unlike *cough* the diamonds *cough*. The story does it what it needs to and nothing more.
Now for the really bad. Except there isn't any really. There's a lot more I could go into, like character design, the morals, character development, ect. ect. But I can some most of that up with 1 sentence. It's all mostly average, except for Spinel. Overall nothing is bad or anything, it's just mediocre. Spinel really carries this all the way. If the rest of the movie rose to meet her character, it would be a 8 or 9. Unfortunately, it relies on many things the show has already done. You should give this a watch if you love the show or have hope for it to be good again, like me.
