What I Think Of The Boss Baby 2


Hello there animation fans i don't usually cover news items and that's because i don't really like to judge things before i've at least seen a trailer or two but with this one i feel like i have to talk about it because it's so out of know where here is what i think of The Boss Baby 2.


One if the issues that the film will have to overcome is the fact that The Boss Baby is on longer a Boss Baby he's just a baby so with that ending firmly in place how can you do a sequel? the short answer is you can't because the story of the first film resolved every plot point so there's no new story that you can tell and the whole point of a sequel is to try match if not surpass the first film but when you start with nothing you'll end with nothing.

This post won't be all negative (but it mostly will be) they have confirmed that the best part of the first movie Alec Baldwin will be back to play the character but one person doesn't make a team so you can't have Alec back and not bring back all of the other cast members which would be ashame because i really liked the kid who played his brother and anything with Lisa Kudrow is gold for me but reading the article from Deadline they don't mention who else will be back which for me is something Dreamworks should have locked down they key personnel before announcing this movie.


As i've said already the whole point of a sequel is to try surpass what you did in the first film which means in this case you have to put out better animation and i thought the animation in the first film was really done but tho given that the film will be out in four years there's a 50% chance that the quality of the animation could improve but with that said they've only got four years that's not alot of time to improve on animation if they had say five years then i would say the animation would improve but alas it's only four years.

Now this film is due out on March 26th 2021 that's the week before Fast 10 comes out i mention this because when the first film came out there was really no competition when it came out so i think that's a stupid move to release the sequel one week before the next installment of a major franchise doing that only means this film will fail because if given the choice most movie goers will select Fast 10 over what could be considered a kids film.


I'm not saying The Boss Baby 2 can't work as a movie i'm just saying that given what's released it seems unlikely that it will work but if whoever the writer and director turn out to be can make it work then i'll watch it because the first film was entertaining but tho if your a sequel just being entertaining won't always work because movie goers are smart people they know what they want and if you just entertain them but that's it then there's a chance you'll be a flop with that said i hope The Boss Baby 2 is at least a decent film. 
  


Doctor Who "The Pyramid at the End of the World" Spoiler Free Review


Hello there Doctor Who fans it's that time of the week once more were you see me talk about Doctor Who and this time it's The Pyramid At The End Of The World. so lets get it started.


The plot for this weeks episode is a Pyramid appears out of know where and it's up to our trio of heroes to find out what's going on. Now i have to say that i really liked the story for this one it had a lot of great character moments which i really enjoyed and i liked the fact that there was basically two stories happening at once and they came together in a natural way.


In terms of cast we of course have Peter , Matt and Pearl who all do a great job this week especially Peter and Pearl who have some great scenes together in terms of the guest cast we have Togo Igawa , Nigel Hastings and Eben Young for me personally the guest cast really didn't serve that much of a purpose i can't say why but when you see the episode you'll see why i feel that way i think that they would have been better served if this episode was a two part story instead of just one.

I'm not sure where this weeks episode was filmed but the location they used looks really stunning it's one of the things that NewWho has over Classic Who they now have the money to go on location in places other then London and they use them to there full advantage and i hope that they continue to do so.

This weeks episode had some truly great CGI i'm not just talking TV quality i'm talking movie quality i don't know how big an effects budget for Doctor Who is but i'm sure that most of it went to creating the effects in this episode because they were so good my eyes were happy.  


I didn't mention this last week because of the fact i couldn't see them that clearly but i loved the monster make up for the monks it looks so cool and very creepy the team really did out do them selfs this time around plus i think it helps that the monsters them selfs are a bit on the creepy side which reminds me alot of of old school Doctor Who.

Now i'm not sure if this is true or not but i believe that there might have been some edits to this episode in spite of certain events which happend earlier on in the week and if so the edits were really well hidden and they didn't effect the story at all but tho with that being said i don't think they should have made any edits but that's just me personally if you feel different then that's fine.


I will say that the last five or ten minuets of this episode are easily the best moments in the whole episode everything pretty much hits the fan but not in the way that you think it will and for me it was great to see those events play out and that's really all i can say on those final minuets because literally anything else would be considered a spoiler.


Overall this was a good episode with a few great moments sprinkled in and it has a great ending which sets up next weeks third and final episode in this trilogy i give this weeks episode a 7.5 out of 10
