Synopsis: The Justice Society of America, a group of heroes aiding the allies in World War 2, makes an ally from the future who sends them on a history-changing adventure.
My thoughts: As was my issue with Man Of Tomorrow I find this art style very distracting but since this is 2 movies in a row in this universe (and more to come seemingly teased) I'll just have to get used to it. Other than that this was a fun romp through World War II which they surprisingly haven't tackled yet in an animated movie. DC has kept most upcoming titles under wraps which leads me to believe they'll have a big roll out at the upcoming Fandome of this new universe and what we can expect to come out of it since we thus far only have confirmation of Superman and now The Flash in Earth One anyways. The Earth 2 heroes were fun as I really liked their take on Black Canary but it was disappointing to see so many heroes die in the end so we can't have more adventures with them. And hey, Hourman got a hot second in the spotlight. Good for him.
Final verdict: 3.5 Nazi's out of 5.
Synopsis: Anna Fox (Amy Adams) is an agoraphobic child psychologist who finds herself keeping tabs on the picture perfect family across the street through the windows of her New York City brownstone. Her life is turned upside down when she inadvertently witnesses a brutal crime. Based on the gripping, best-selling novel and adapted by Tracy Letts, shocking secrets are revealed and nothing and no one are what they seem in this suspenseful psychological thriller.
My thoughts: For how they could of mailed in this simple premise I must commend them for trying at the very least. That being said they could've done way better with the cast they assembled. Some twists were predictable, some not so much and some characters they give very little reason for them to exist in this world. You won't feel like you wasted time watching this flick, but you also shouldn't feel the need to go out of your way to give it a watch either.
Final verdict: 3 twists out of 5.
Synopsis: Set in the lush and royal country of Zamunda, newly-crowned King Akeem (Eddie Murphy) and his trusted confidante Semmi(Arsenio Hall) embark on an all-new hilarious adventure that has them traversing the globe from their great African nation to the borough of Queens, New York – where it all began.
My thoughts: I'm not sure if we necessarily needed a sequel to Coming To America but I was excited to give it a chance. Unfortunately I felt it to be a little redundant. I liked that they gave us a glimpse at characters from the original we knew and loved but they just kinda retreaded certain elements from the first and gave us a family sitcome type set up we're seeing more and more now a days with old family sitcoms being rebooted and updated and honestly Coming 2 America shouldn't feel like this even though it does.
Final verdict: 3.5 Foreign Royalty out of 5.
