Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (2004)
Bad bad bad
Scooby Doo 2 is honestly the worst movie in the entire world, and I'm even accounting for Kool Kat. The acting might be straight from a third grade play and every actor in the movie should consider redacting it from their resumes.
First off the town that we find ourselves immersed in is named Coolsville, the lamest town ever. The characters in the movie have literally no clue what to do, and the awkward sexually confused Velma is off putting. Plus the overly girly personality of Daphne makes any normal person want to puke. Shaggy has no personality traits other than hungry dumb stoner. Fred is just a archetypal jock. And lastly Scooby Doo is a crappy CG dog that has a voice that reminds one of gurgling diarrhea.
The plot of the movie really feels like it is stitched by a two year old, who has sadly been conflicted with cataracts. I seriously have never experienced more pain in my life than when I sat through the first thirty minutes of this movie. At one point to prove that they are "good detectives" Shaggy and Scooby do to a villain disco joint where they dress as groovy dudes. Scooby then gets hit on, because somehow the villainous woman can't see through a badly tailored suit and an Afro wig, or does and is attracted to a dog. I'm not sure which is scarier. This movie should never have been approved let alone produced and everyone who is associated with it should hide somewhere in some cave in the Rocky Mountains.
Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999)
Ouch
The Phantom Menace may quite possibly be the best movie I have seen in years. George Lucas really hit the head of the nail on this one. The introduction of new characters as well as a new look on old ones was a refreshing breath of air. The iconic and widely adored Jar-Jar Binks makes his premiere in the epic motion picture, where he en-captures the viewer with his awkward appearance and lovable personality. It is quite a treat to see what kind of mischief the clumsy Gungan gets himself and his friends into.
The movie overall is a cinematic masterpiece where one can hardly tell what is CG and what is not because it is all so realistic. Arguably the most stunning scene is the battle between the droid army and the Gungans. As the two forces clash, with blaster fire and blue balls whizzing through the air, one can truly get lost in the battle and may even develop PTSD as a result of the graphic and realistic battle scene.
A definite highlight of the movie is getting to meet and know Anakin Skywalker, a young slave boy who is related somehow to another character in the older trilogy, however the connection isn't made very clear and it could easily have lost a less avid Star Wars fans, but trust me when I say he for sure is related. Anyways the young Anakin is possibly the best character in the movie, and the youngnes of the character did not detract from the story or anything, glad to see the Lucas's brilliant movie making mind did not make a mistake there. It was very easy to connect to the character as he is an 8 year old slave boy from a desert planet, nothing hard to relate with there.
