Boy Kills World (2023)
Gory, but missing something
I wanted to like this more than I did.
The fight scenes were fun, and the gore was excessive, but I couldn't bring myself to care all that much.
I think it might have to do with the mismatch between John Benjamin's voice and the actor playing the boy.
I couldn't quite reconcile them as being the same person so it felt like the entire movie was being narrated like MSTK or something.
Also some of the shaky camera fights were hard to make out in between limbs breaking.
I was relieved to see a new IP and it deserves to be supported, but I would say this was more of a rental or even a matinee movie.
The Hyperions (2022)
Some good scenes, but boring and cheap
The concepts of the movie were good, but the execution was not there. It was nice to see Cary Elwes in this and he was definitely the best part. However, the script seemed very cliche and often aimlessly boring. It could have worked better if they leaned on the satire a little more because there were a few funny scenes in the bank that I liked and one really good flash-back scene. Unfortunately, the effects were bad enough to take you out of the movie and they tried so hard to give it a 60s vibe that they forgot to make the interactions seem human instead of cartoonish. I really wanted to like this, but there was just something a little off about it that I couldn't get past.
