Inside Out, Characters that Personify Emotions Move Around Cutely.
The movie "Inside Out" is a masterpiece because it powerfully conveys the essential message that recognizing and accepting all of our emotions, especially sadness, is vital for emotional well-being. By personifying emotions as characters, the film not only entertains audiences of all ages but also helps viewers understand the mechanics of emotions and relationships, making the importance of sadness especially clear. Pixar's innovative animation and storytelling make this message both impactful and accessible. -

Avengers: Infinity War – “All the heroes from the MCU gather together!”
This film reunites many heroes for the first time since the Civil War, allowing each to shine in their own moment. However, people who haven't seen any Marvel films and are seeing this one for the first time, or those who haven't seen any of the other films, may find it confusing. Especially at the beginning, when Thor escapes in a spaceship with one eye, it's confusing if you haven't seen Battle Royale. As the second-to-last film before "Endgame," Avengers: Infinity War stands out by bringing together numerous characters and altering the usual superhero narrative with its bold ending. -

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales “Jack Sparrow’s adventures are always fun!”
Jack, unchanged from usual, embarks on an adventure with his friends. This movie is funnier and more entertaining than the earlier ones. I watched it, hoping for a light-hearted adventure, not something profound, and it gave me exactly that. That’s what makes it so enjoyable. -

Ant-Man and the Wasp: “I enjoyed it, feeling relieved and smiling.”
Sequels don’t often outshine the originals, but Ant-Man and the Wasp really did for me. World-saving heroes are impressive, but I find Ant-Man, like Spider-Man, much more relatable. That’s what I love about him. The villains in this film aren't outright supervillains; they have their reasons, and the arms dealer has a bit of a petty villain vibe, which is also nice. Since there aren’t a lot of tense moments, I could just relax and have fun, and I found myself laughing more than once. -

The Nutcracker and the Four Realms: “The music and worldview are wonderful.”
Disney's "The Nutcracker and the Four Realms" struggled at the box office and with critics, but it still has its charms. Set in Victorian London, this Christmas movie is a family story with ghostly elements that heighten the Christmas mood. Tchaikovsky's music has been modernized, with Lang Lang's piano solo adding a touch of elegance. The breathtakingly beautiful snowy landscapes also enhance the classical costumes and vibrant colors of the characters, creating a visually appealing experience. While the story may feel lacking in depth, it remains a worthwhile watch for those seeking to immerse themselves in the Christmas spirit. -

Iron Man 3: “As always, the battle scenes are powerful and cool !”
The visuals were truly amazing! However, I couldn't help but be a little surprised by the scenes where Iron Man's suit was repeatedly destroyed. There were so many instances of "if it breaks, just put on another suit" that I found myself thinking, "Wait, is it over already?" As a long-time fan, I felt that the image of Iron Man as the "steel hero" had become a little cheap. Perhaps the filmmakers wanted to depict Tony Stark's human frailty, which differs from the invincible hero image we've come to expect. -
