- Bumblebee : https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Bumblebee_(film) I linked the page from the transformers wiki instead of a normal wikipedia page because it explains the soft reboot this movie is introducing. I find interesting that they did that, as it tend to make the Last Knight totally irrelevant to the franchises and slightly alter the first movie. Otherwise, for the movie itself, I enjoyed it, way more than any transformers movies since the 2nd. I would say it's the best one yet, but the 3rd to 5th movies may have tainted my view of the franchise negatively (but it is sure better than those 3 movies). The movie is nice, self-contained (see Fantastic Beasts below), gives a lot of hints about the franchises (there is dozens of references to previous movies and series, including the original animated transformer movie), the acting is mostly good, the story is correct. It has flaws, of course, like the multiple reshoots have created problems in the storyline and in the characters' personalities, but I had fun (and he made me want to play with my transformers when I got out). Overall, I give it a 3,25 barks out of 5
Long movies without diapers are quite a risk for me... gods, I nearly had an accident when I got out *blushes*
- Fantastic beasts 2 the crimes of Grindenwald https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantastic_Beasts:_The_Cri... If you are an Harry Potter fan or want to see the 3 next movies in the Fantastic Beasts cycle, go watch it. For everyone else, avoid it. I can resume it in one word, confusing. To say more, you have multiple plotlines going on, the entire movie is nothing but set-up and totally forget to have a coherent story and stand by itself. It's just plotlines crashing into each others, forced in the same story to make something... but it's badly done, not great acted, the autors clearly do not understand how magic in Harry Potter works (or decided to forgo it to make for more visuals effects) and the overarching arc sound badly tackled on. I was bored all along. 2 barks out of 5
- Spider-man : into the spiderverse. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider-Man:_Into_the_Spid... I really enjoyed this movie. It was flashy, quick, full of humor, playing the different spider characters (I would have picked some differents than those, but still, a really good choice) and having a story, secondary plotlines and still carrying everything to a satisfasying end. I do wish for a full spider-verse movie (the comic one), but it was for sure a really good one. 4,25 barks out of 5
- Avengers assemble season 5 : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avengers_Assemble_(TV_ser... After a season 4 I really enjoyed, I have been disapointed with this one. It's too centered on Black Panther and as such ruining the fact it's an Avengers season and not a spin-off, and the storyline is a bit ludicrous at times. Without magic, which is never mentionned, I don't see how the Wakandans could have pulled what they pull in this show. So it's a bit long and repetitive. 3,25 barks out of 5
- Kung-fu panda : the paws of destiny season 1 : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kung_Fu_Panda:_The_Paws_o... A tv show sequel to both the 3rd movie and the previous tv show, the basics is a joke on the name "paws" and Po-es, being that multiple Poe-like characters are now the center of attention. Po is now a teacher and has four students of his own we follow through a one story arc, which with 13 episodes can develop their characters, the backstory and everything with a classical, but not uninteresting, villain. It's a nice show and now that the setting up arc is done, I hope it get a second season with a bit more different storylines. 4 barks out of 5
- Aggretsuko : we wish you a metal christmas https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aggretsuko The christmas special episode of Aggretsuko explores what christmas is for the new Japanese generation while also giving us a lot of character developpment for our leads. That what I really love about this show, the drama is so real while not overdone, boring or anything. You like the characters. 4,25 barks out of 5
- My little pony best gift ever shorts : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Little_Pony:_Best_Gift... Those three shorts are, as usual, of various quality. The one about Pinkie is another, I hate you Pinkie Pie episode, like there is so many. It's confusing to me how people can really enjoy such annoying character. But overall, the shorts are nice and cute and worth watching. 3,5 barks out of 5
- L'empereur de Paris : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%27Empereur_de_Paris This french movie was as good as expected it to be, not more, not less. Reusing the same character as a previous movie I enjoyed, but not being related and telling his history before the previous movie, it is based on a interesting story of a rl historical character which did a lot of stuff https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eug%C3%A8ne_Fran%C3%A7ois... It's nice, well paced and the main character is interesting. There is some problems with the secondary characters (like the bastard son who come out of nowhere, seems a scene has been cut here) and the length. 4 barks out of 5
- Watership down (Netflix miniseries) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watership_Down_(miniseries) I have never seen the original tv shows, so I can't compare to it but I've told it was good and dark. This one is good but maybe a bit less dark. Which is good for my tastes but may not for everyone. It's a nicely done mature show for kids, exploring many issues and not fleeing from them. The story is nice but I have a problem with it : I can't recognise the characters from each other. Not that they don't have different personalities (they do) but visually they are all too close and it's hard to follow what happens. It made the story confusing at times. I will still give it a 3,75 barks out of 5
- Spy kids mission critical season 2 : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spy_Kids:_Mission_Critical The second season of the show is really classical for a kid show with those archetypical characters. There is no surprise at all in anyway. It's still nice and fun, but nothing great. Season 1 and 2 are basically one and the same since everything is about the one bad guy, Golden Brain. 2.75 barks out of 5
- Jurassic world : fallen kingdom https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jurassic_World:_Fallen_Ki... Ok... how to say it ? This movie is moronic. The people in it seems to be all so stupid they wouldn't have survived long enough to do what they do in the movie. Stuff happens in ways totally unrealistic, even pushing the suspensions of disbelief further than superheros movies. The trailers sold us dinosaurs in towns but it's only what happens in the last minutes to set up the next one. They ran out of creative juices (previous one was already a remake in many ways) and they give us a boring stupid movie. 2 barks ouf of 5 for the visuals of the dinosaurs.
