Terrible Plan! Movie Reviews

What I liked: The pop culture references were, as always, very funny. I particularly liked how Bruce Willis kept popping up all over the place and the compilation of all known time machines. The hot teen vampires and annoying Pop music were also good additions. The angsty post-apocalyptic world was spot on parody, if a bit much for an hour and a half. The Duplo invasion was cute and I could relate with small enthusiastic well meaning destroyers of beautiful creations. Glitter based brain washing makes a lot of sense. Glitter gets everywhere and never never never can you get rid of it. I liked the credits animation. What I didn't: I agree with Lucy, "You guys are terrible communicators." There is a whole song about why Batman is not the best. Not cool Lego, not cool. I didn't like how much we got pulled back to the real world. I promise that anyone who has ever encountered Legos knows that they are actually not sentient animated toys. And I promise that with names ...

What I liked: I am glad that we get to see grown up magic, which is in fact much better than high school kid magic. I liked the the blue flame dragons, what was possibly the earth splitting open, and maybe the gold dust CSI reconstruction. I liked the magical roomba. It looked more like a steam punk roomba than a magical roomba, but it was still fun. I liked the Chinese dragon and the freaky cats. I'm not sure why you need giant mechanical library stacks when you can just magically summon objects to you, but they did make a pretty cool maze. It was fun to see Nicholas Flamel. I think he was disproportionately older than his colleague Dumbledore and it would have been cool if he busted out more alchemy powers instead of resorting to wands like everyone else, but I have to admit for being 600 years old he was doing pretty good.  I like Newt. I like that he doesn't like hugs and that he is a different kind of hero who notices things and solves problems differently. I like his base...

What I liked: If you have been laying awake at night wondering where you can find a Lord of the Rings style battle sequence featuring lava lobsters, mosasaurs, and lasers,  this is the movie for you. Also if you have been dying to see more of the giant mysterious sea monsters from Phantom Menace (one of the few acceptable parts of that movie besides the light saber dual), you have come to the right place. The movie is packed full of over the top ridiculousness, explosions, and bright colors. I liked the underwater world that they created. All of the modes of transportation are pretty cool. I can't decide if I would rather ride a freaky seahorse dragon or a mosasaur. There were also sea turtle, shrimp, and manta ray shaped boat/car/spaceships. Black Manta had just an ok submarine but he did have awesome armor. Any other villain might say, "oh my super cool laser gun works great in my hand, far away from essential body parts." Not Black Manta. But whatever the high probab...
