Worst Movie of 2017 - Tom and Jerry: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory - Film Review

-
If you saw that title and thought of another certain animated movie, let me say out loud: I am NOT reviewing The Emoji Movie. I don't want to see it or review it, I don't even want to acknowledge that thing's existence.

All good? OK, on to the review.

oh god, oh GOD. ohhhhh

 I just watched  Tom and Jerry: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and my god it SUCKED!

This thing is pretty much just Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory with Tom and Jerry thrown in so there's not much to say about the plot.

Warner Bros. need to know that most crossovers don't work. Scooby-Doo and Batman, Scooby-Doo and Kiss, Scooby-Doo and WWE, Scooby-Doo and WWE: Curse of the Speed Demon, The Flintstones and WWE, The Jetsons and WWE, Tom and Jerry Meet Sherlock Holmes. I'm going to stop mentioning them here, I haven't seen any of them except this, but I haven't heard the most positive things.

I watched this thing online and I have to say:
1. If you're on a site that lets you watch free movies or cartoons, use Adblock, that's what I did.
2. 79 minutes of my life I'll never get back.

WWATCF is one of my all-time favorite films, I enjoy some of the Tom and Jerry shorts, however, the two do NOT go together.

The only thing I liked in the movie was that in the candy shop during the Candyman song, the guy working at the store accidentally hits the girl with the door on the counter and they put in a little sound effect. The song sounds pretty off by the way.

The boat ride from the original is in here, but it sucks. Instead of Wonka, it's Tuffy, that little grey mouse. He's trying to be an Oompa-Loompa but he doesn't meet the height requirements. We briefly see Loompaland for about two seconds, but it's nothing like this, and Wonka never tells the story of bringing them from there to the factory.

The song I Want it Now appears twice in the movie, the first by Slugworth but the lyrics are changed to talk about how he wants to take over the candy empire, and the second is a duet with him and Veruca during the mine cart scene with him, Spike, Tom, Jerry and Tuffy. Apparently Willy Wonka has a candy mine miles deep below the factory.

Oh, and Droopy's in this too, just because.

This film has more nightmare fuel than you would think. (the faces, oh god the faces,)

I don't want to talk anymore about this movie, it's the worst of 2017. I would rather watch that Johnny Depp thing over this.

Tomorrow I'm reviewing a much better (though extremely different) movie.

1/10

Wonder Woman - Film Review

Justicethon Day 7 Wonder Woman is directed by Patty Jenkins and stars Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Danny Huston, Robin Wright and Connie Nielson. Wonder Woman is the fourth film in the DCEU and the second not directed by Zack Snyder. Plot Set in 1918, long before the other 3, Princess Diana (Gal Gadot) grows up on the Amazon island of Themyscira. American pilot Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) crashes offshore of the island and is rescued by Diana. After he tells Diana about World War I, she leaves her home in order to end the war. Review Let me just say: This is the best of the DCEU by far, it looks great, the story's great, the cast is great. This actually reminds me of two Marvel movies I've seen, Captain America: The First Avenger and Thor . CA:TFA was about a superhero going into a world war (I know they're 2 different wars) and Thor was about someone from another realm based on mythology coming into our society (I know Themyscira is on Earth and Asgard is on a dif

Mission: Impossible 2 - Film Review

Mission: Impossithon Day 2 Mission: Impossible 2 is directed by John Woo, and stars Tom Cruise, Thandie Newton, Ving Rhames, Dougray Scott, Richard Roxburgh, and Anthony Hopkins. Plot IMF Agent Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise, again) is sent to Sydney, to find and destroy a genetically modified disease called "Chimera". Review I didn't like this movie much, it's pretty forgettable. The first hour is slow and the action doesn't pick up as much until the second act. And I just couldn't get invested in it. I don't even remember some of the characters names, so I'll just refer to them by the actors' names. Also, if your movie is already as slow as Mission: Impossible 2 is, don't overuse slow-mo as much as Mission: Impossible 2 does. Also, this film originally had a 3 1/2 hour long cut. I'll pass on that. I will say, the movie is shot very well and some of the action scenes do look really good, but it's not enough to save this movie for

Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers - Film Review

Halloweenthon Day 5  Halloween 5: The Curse of Michael Myers is directed by Dominique Othenin-Girard, and stars Donald Pleasence, Danielle Harris, Ellie Cornell, Wendy Kaplan, Beau Starr, and Donald L. Shanks. Plot It's one year since Halloween 4 , and Michael Myers (Donald L. Shanks) survives being shot by the police. He continues his search for his niece, who is in a children's' hospital. Review If I were asked where the series started to go downhill, it would be this movie. This movie really had no reason to exist, as Halloween 4 would've been a good enough ending, but it made some money, so they rushed out a sequel the next year, and it shows. This movie isn't good, it's bad, but it's not a pile of garbage or anything (oh we'll be talking about garbage later in the marathon). So this movie begins the way Halloween II began, with them recapping the ending of the movie that came before it, but instead of no time passing, a year passes in
