Five Nights at Freddy's (2023)

9/10 for looks - 3/10 for screenplay

[5/10 · 27 October 2023]

If you loved the FNAF games, go see this, at the base level it's fun to see this stuff come to life, especially when the costume design and set design are this good.

If you're a harsh critic, you might HATE this film.

Its biggest problems are character development overall storyline, and horror factor. (This would be better if R-Rated, however, that's not to say you can't make a great PG13 horror flick.)

Acting wasn't too bad, Hutchinson and Lillard are as good as they can be with the writing they were given. Same with the kids in the movie.

How to Make it Better?: I can see this being a MUCH better film if they were to treat it like a one-room horror adventure, much like the game. Keep Mike in the chair, terrified of leaving the office, trying to keep the monsters back. (Something like Devil, or Panic Room) - Throughout the film they could've given him flashbacks to connect dots, conversations over the phone, and during the day he makes rounds in the town to figure things out - Then they could make his reason for going back each night valuable, like he wants to solve the mystery of the animatronics, etc.

Just fell flat, beautiful to look at, some fun scenes, but you won't recommend the film to anyone who hasn't played FNAF.

Spider-Man: Lotus (2023)

Jack Wooton Should've Been Peter Parker

[4/10 · 15 August 2023]

I'll keep this as short as I can. Considering how this was developed...

Peter/Spidy/Wayne: 5/10 Storytelling: 3/10 Writing: 2/10 Acting: 5.5/10 Costume Design: 6.5/10 Web Swinging: 7.5/10 Fight Scenes: 5.5/10

My main thoughts:

• Way too much drama, it's DRAMA FATIGUE. Spiderman does have trauma... but he is all about overcoming, being light on his feet and in his personality.

• The bad writing makes it hard to get invested.

• Casting was OKAY-ish.

• The whole movie, and especially ending are just sluggish... slow moving trains that take forever to pull into the station and don't allow the story to go out with a bang.

• Jack Wooton, to me, was the only solid actor among the cast here. He delivered lines that I felt he meant for this Character (Flash.) while watching him talk to MJ in one scene, I couldn't help but think he should've been Peter/Spidy.

That's it. That's the review.
