Young Black Stallion (2003)
Only live-action film my 2-year-old will watch
My 2-year-old son is obsessed with horses, this is the only live action film he will watch for more than 10 minutes. I think this is probably because it is a very "horse heavy" horse film - which I do respect about it, horses in almost every shot and beautiful scenery. The actings not great and it's a pretty simple story, but the film serves its purpose - and it gets watched 3 times a day in my home and still isn't annoying (unlike many other kids movies and shows my son has been obsessed with) - if you have a toddler who's interested in animals I'd highly recommend this - it looks pretty and it holds his attention for the duration of the film.
Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker (2019)
If JJ Abrams works in Hollywood again it'll be too soon.
Underbaked character development. Awful pacing, poor dialogue, felt like it was fan fiction. Few redeeming qualities. Adam Driver was great, everyone else did ok with the poor dialogue and rushed scenes they were given. Ryan Johnson's "the Last Jedi" took Star Wars films to a place we haven't seen since "Empire Strikes Back". This film kind of just pooped all over everything complex and interesting Johnson had set up. Pretty disappointing - the whole film just felt like a series of missed opportunities.
