Fantasy Island: The Big Five Oh (2021)
The reboot just keeps getting worse
As a fan of the original series, this reboot is a huge disappointment.
The lead lacks all the class and grace of the original and her sidekick has none of the character or fun of Tattoo.
It's more like a cheap soap opera now - and a painful one to watch at that.
Mars Needs Moms (2011)
Good afternoon film with the kids
My plan was to set the film going then leave the kids to it. In actual fact, to my total surprise I really liked this and on occasions I was shushing the kids so I could hear it! My family (kids AND adults) all love the Toy Story series but aren't such fans of Happy Feet and Up... in other words, we like some animated movies but by no means all.
The animation in this film is so good that in a number of scenes I found myself asking if it was animated or real. The true test (to me) is that you get carried away into the film forgetting about animation because it is so slick. Toy Story 1/2/3 did it, this did it.
The story is somewhat predictable and shallow, but hey, it's a kids movie, that is exactly what it SHOULD be! My 4 year old and 9 year old could equally enjoy the movie, following the story line and knowing what outcome they wanted.
There are plenty of laughs too. I found myself chuckling on multiple occasions... usually where the kids didn't :) It's typical Disney ...
Fun, laughter, tears and great animation. It's a pleasing film to watch and the behind the scenes segments were a real insight and quite fun.
I would certainly recommend this film for a good Sunday afternoon session on a rainy day!
