I'm not a "movie critic", nor do I want to be. I like watching movies and thinking about them and stuff, but I'm not one to pick them apart... Ya know, as I type that, I realize I do like to pick them apart XD but I didn't use to. Its only since I've been getting more into movies and listening to people that know more about movies than I do, that I see more and stuff. But I don't like to bash movies, I just like to find what worked for me and what didn't. However, if you've read my previous posts about a certain Japanese Drama and its Korean predecessor... then you know how... detailed I can get XD And how... passionate my... distaste can be XD So maybe I am a critic in my own way, but I didn't go to school for it or even take one class on movies really, so I'm not a professional by any means, but I think through practice and learning after others I've developed my "sense of movies".
And I certainly notice that as I get older I find that when I was younger I pretty much liked everything XD I know that complaining about the Prequels (Star Wars, that is) is like a favorite of a lot of people, but honestly... since I saw them as a younger feller, I wasn't as critical and I enjoyed them XD I haven't seen them in a a while though, so I'm not sure how I'd feel if I saw them now. Though, I do admit, that whats his name... that plays Anakin... yeah... not the best actor, back then at least XD I dunno if he's gotten better, but he's just not quite the right fit for that character, or maybe... the whole movies were just a jumbled mess, as probably most Star Wars connoisseurs would say.
Anyway, I'm watching the 3rd Narnia movie now, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, and... its not as good as the first two. Visually, I think its probably more beautiful, but... somehow its just not as good. I like Prince Caspian the best, and the first one is right behind, but this one is a bit farther behind. I think that thing that's bothering me the most, is the CG. Like... Its just not that good. Like I can tell that sooooo many things are CG and its so apparent that it take me out and just makes it so much less believeable. Like, the story is fine, I'm fine with the story and most everything, but the CG is just... Not the best. And I'm watching it on Blu-Ray, sort of an early ish one, and I think its making the CG more obvious. All the practical stuff looks great, but the CG is just... just not good. Well, actually let me put it this way, its good, but its not great. Its like if they just spent a week or two more it could have been a lot better. But then again, I think we're so used to picking out CG now that unless its Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and Jungle Book good, we're gonna say that its' terrible XD
And the 2nd thing that sort of bothers me is some of the acting. But I can't tell if its the acting that the actors are bringing or the direction about their characters that they were given. And even though he's the most annoying, the kid that plays Eustace, who I think was also in the Maze Runner, he's really good! He's properly annoying XD But the others... I dunno, its a little off. But, this is just coming off of Prince Caspian, which I said is my fav and I think I'll write a separate thing on it now XD
Till then! Toodles! ^_^
