I'm not sure how common knowledge this is but real starfish could regenerate like that, it's cool. A bit of a shame the opening credits is the most intense and exciting part for like a third of the film.

The comic screen wiping is getting on my nerves after 10 seconds.

Hey, is Stan Lee the security guard?

Wow the love interest is awkward and wooden. But she's cute so I'll let it slide.

Oh, blonde guy shows up as asshole rival...well that is not unexpected. Hot though.

Wait, the same guy who fired Banner's father is the love interest's father? And they both lived on the same desert base?

...Why is she seeing Bruce as an adult smouldering her damn that's weird.

Goddammit now I'm starting to get flashbacks to Nostalgia Critic's review and his repeated tired yells of "The Huuuulk!"

Betty is surprisingly chill about a random green giant showing up on her doorstep.

...Wait, why did the military just let him out to wander outside??

This is one damn melancholic film for being a rage monster.

"I like crossbows", casual racism, statue to himself, Black Mask is a funnier Joker than Joker.

Waiting for Harley to have some comeuppance for her litany of atrocities...waiting (Harley feeds a man to a hyena)...still waiting (Harley bombs some woman)...any time now...

How does Black Mask not kill and/or mutilate Erika? Not that I'm a fan of excessive violence, but this film has a lot of that and the scene feels unfinished without it.

Ah, Amusement Mile, a place I only knew from DC Universe Online before, nice.

I kinda like the foggy pier scene, it reminded me of the fear gas induced hallucination of the Joker Harley sees in Injustice 2 - for a moment I thought that's really what is going on.

The post-credit scene is a bit low-effort, but good troll.

I think this film is pretty well made, it is just not for me.

Picked this one because Kanto legendaries are the only ones I had any childhood memories of. And this film is definitely a kids thing judging from the level of boy/girl drama. However I do like the overarching mystery of the film, even though it is revealed to the audience in the very first scene.

I swear Pikachu is the most stoic and serious character in the team.

Wow, their depiction of deep ocean currents in a worldwide circulation disrupting global climate is ahead of its time.

Okay, the fourth wall breaking is cheesy but I'll allow it.

Zapdos effortlessly booping Pikachu ahahaha.

Goddammit Lugia can't you have carried him to the ice island in the first place?

...Man, I almost forgot the bad guy existed.

It doesn't seem quite as bad as everyone makes it out to be. Far from great as the animated series, but not absolutely horrible. The common criticisms are kinda exaggerated. The bending is a bit slower and takes more movements, but I don't find that too bad either. I think perceptions may be coloured by the animated series, since obviously the bending becomes more and power powerful and skilled towards the end (especially with Sozin's Comet).

What's with Zhao's weird Zuko roasting session?

Why does kid Azula's laugh sound like Teemo's???

Iroh is still pretty cool.

Why doesn't Iroh stop Zhao before they go to the Oasis if Zhao already told him the plan to kill the Moon spirit? Also, it is kind of lame he didn't get to fight there.

The fights scenes in this film in general is still decent though.

Tsunami scene and especially the music unironically gave me chills. This whole film is unironically okay. Not as great as the animated series, but okay.

Who does woodworking in their wedding dress??

Hey, that's Habanera from Carmen when Carl goes downstairs. A bit standard snippet but nice.

Okay, I'm halfway through and I'm not digging this film. Almost everything is either repetitive, ridiculous, contrived, grating or unfunny. Every companion is annoying in their own way, to the point where the gag of them being annoying is the only genuinely funny thing in the film so far.

Apparently a big deal was made of Russell being Asian American. I didn't notice at all. He just looks like an incredibly annoying blob (a couple shades paler than than voice actor too).

The film becomes so, so much better when it is not trying too hard to be funny. It is perfectly fine being touching, introspective, and the old adventurer turning out to be crazy was great (even though his villainous motive is...not really that evil).

Literally every time her eyes are on screen they are freaking me out.

Also Doc looks like at least 20 years older than the woman he had a kid with.

Red smear on her face is dog blood?? Only that once? What significance does it have?

"NO MORE FREE REPAIRS!" Okay, that was hilarious.

Doc's character is really growing on me.

His hammer/scythe thing reminds me of Steel's hammer (it is most recently in Reign of the Supermen). I kind of wish they only blast their exhaust when using it to propel the weapon and not when just holding it still, though, it'd feel more real and kinetic.

"Better rule in hell, than serve in heaven" reference, nice.

There is no ending in this film?? I felt like I only watched half of a story and this film already dragged on quite a bit as it was. I feel like I barely know what is going on beneath the surface. What's the villain's evil plan, what happened at all in the past?

Oh and they made a lot of trouble with making a new life with the boyfriend (screw that guy tbh) only to kill him again after like 1 minute of screen time wtf that was pointless.

This film is shockingly violent and bloody. It is PG-13 but I think it is worse than the R-rated Birds of Prey. Maybe part of it is because having seen a real-life beheading video that scene in the film is giving me some traumatic flashbacks.
