One of the better hockey movies I've seen.
I have a feeling if I had seen this as a kid, it'd for sure be a childhood favourite. It's solidly enjoyable even as you know the ending before you press play. This underdog team was likable and that's why it won me over. If I had built-in nostalgia I would most likely love this but for what it's worth, I'm just glad to have finally seen the Ducks play.
"Goodbye, old friend."
I love Godzilla. Similar to how Dr. Ishirō Serizawa views him in these movies, I too have reverence for the titan. Feels weird to say but when he's onscreen, chances are I'm awestruck. Holding this back greatly are the often dumb human characters, except Ken Watanabe as he just exudes gravitas no matter what. I still think the scene with him and Godzilla is the best moment in this. Coming from an American studio, I don't know…
"You promised me the drive. Not the win."
God damn. This was my most anticipated film of 2019 and it delivered on all fronts and then some. Christian Bale has always been my favourite actor and I'm not kidding you one bit in saying that this has become my favourite performance and perhaps movie with him. James Mangold has crafted such a well made movie that feels big, epic and yet, it didn't lose any intimacy or heart.
The racing…
Taika Waititi directed Jojo Rabbit and now he plays a rabbit. Very cute yet depressing in how it conveys its message. Good on the actors, especially Waititi, in lending their voices and names for this campaign.
