Let me know what do u feel after seeing these movies
I think there’s a lot going on this movie like you will feel that it’s sci-fi but it got a lot of horror stuffs or some dramatic adventure…
First of all I just love this movie, just love it and for me the rating is 10/10, although IMDB rating is 8.7/10 😏 I mean this movie deserve 10/10 of course.
The Plot: This Movie is about love, family, music and all are revolving around Miguel. Miguel is 12 years old who’s only dream is to be a musician like Ernesto de la Cruz who is a famous singer and actor but his family ban the music from the family. So he start to searching for the reason of this hate for music and he finds that his great-great grandfather left his great-great grandmother because of music and he finds a photo of them where he finds that his great-great grandfather holding a guitar which he saw with Ernesto de la Cruz and he obviously thought him as his great-great grandfather and goes to land of dead to meet him but he is so popular Miguel couldn’t meet him but that time he finds Héctor, a down-on-his-luck skeleton who once played music with Ernesto and offers to help him but in return, he asks Miguel to take his photo back to the Land of the Living, so that he might visit his daughter before she forgets him and he disappears completely.
Now I should explain why I didn’t like the movie because there are so many people who are hard core fan of Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif (🤔 I forgot about her she was in the movie too and was a big part!!!). So first of all I thought this is a movie of a teenage school boy who is on quest to find his missing father with his gifted detective sense, but what is weird is that why he needed the female companion for? I mean OK he solve the case of her in the first part then why again? Oh I know that answer too because it’s Bollywood movie and A hero always need a heroin for no reason..!! This could have been a great movie if the movie shows more about what is father-son bonding is. It’s like father is dominated by son’s girlfriend 🤣 whatever.. the movie was all over not bad 😬 so don’t worry you can see but I sure got bored in the halfway of the movie 😕 and that’s sad.
I was really happy when I saw the trailer because it’s the movie about a powerful women and that’s so great. And the movie didn’t disappoint me, in fact I think it was really a great movie (and may be I am a big fan of Fantasy Movie 😁).
And I don’t know about any past Wonder Women movie but I can surely say that this is by far great Wonder Women movie. And I suppose everyone see this movie already because if you don’t then your loss 😋.
some contents are literally so good and I was really surprised to know that its a true story; I mean wow but I think Yossi character could have been much better if there’s another tall actor I guess I mean actually I realized that when I saw original Yossi. Some acting was like too perfect to believe. Daniel is supposed to be Israeli so English supposed to be kind of accent but some time h
e just forget to do accent and talk in pure English. There’s this one part where he saw his backpack and he got it from the river where the flow of water was too strong to even stand and he was drowning but surprisingly water was so clam for some time weird right and why Marcus got too much close to Karl and why didn’t anyone got any suspicion about Karl and when did Kevin got so close to Yossi that they were like best friend, I mean I had too many questions after seeing this movie.
I was actually waiting for this movie because the trailer was so good and I have to admit that I was actually interested about this movie because of the name. The whole movie all together is not exactly much good but some contents are quite exciting, I mean the main character Valerian’s acting was not much good but instead I like other characters more. The most awesome part of the movie is the planet Mül and their citizen and of course Rihanna’s performance.
