Wasn’t. Ok, that’s an obvious cheap shot. It was fine, but indistinguishable from 20 other CG kids movies. Please, no more celebrity voices.
#140RVW - 140 character reviews
140 character review: When I started this site that’s all I did – movie reviews that could fit on Twitter. With the exception of a few short blasts, everything since 2014 has been a full-size review, and I've gone back to expand on some of the earlier reviews. If they're here, I haven't updated them yet...
#140RVW: Iron Man 3 (2013)
Enjoyed it while I was watching it, I guess, but sort of nonplussed afterwards. Can’t really find any fault with it, just felt too familiar.
#140RVW: Back to the Future Part III (1990)
140 Character Movie Review – #140RVW
Follows the Matrix/Pirates rule of simultaneously filmed sequels: 2nd will be so over-busy & clunky that the 3rd will seem ok by comparison.

140 Character Movie Review – #140RVW
Exhibit A in why you quit while you’re ahead. Instead of fun “a-ha” moments, the little resolutions & payoffs feel more like a to-do list…

140 Character Movie Review – #140RVW
Still so much fun. Not sure if it’s a comedic adventure or an adventurous comedy, but either way it’s brilliant. Master craftsmen at work…
