Despite its flaws, I'm still enjoyed Tokyo Drift to this day and it is still one of my personal favourites from this franchise. This movie felt like it rather take it easy and simple, but sometimes, simplicity worked better than being convoluted most of the time. The action sequences are a lot better than before, especially the last race segment. There's fair share amount of hot babes, if that's one of the the things you expect from this movie, and the score are probably the best in the franchise, in my opinion. Some of the characters are one-dimensional and stereotypical though, especially the MC, the script is predictable and felt familiar at times, and the fact that this sequel is almost completely different from the other entries might throw people off.

More cheesier, more over-the-top, and a lot more illogical than before, that should've convinced you to turned off your brain before watching this one. Now that being said, Furious 7 is a slight improvement towards the previous one. It's cool to see Statham's doing some cool action as the villain, he's real badass in this one. The direction from James Wan also gave a breath of fresh air for this movie. The action, while breaking all sense of logic, it's still great nonetheless, and its heartwarming that they gave Paul a really well-fitting closure for the character and an emotional send-off as a whole.

Even with its brilliant opening sequence, Up is kind of whatever. It has potential to be amazing, but the final product turned out to be a decent adventure movie, and I'm okay with that but, it could've been better. Script's fine, but it has some glimmers of really good writing. The character development with the main character is great and touching, especially that scene when Fredricksen opens the book near the end, finally being able to move on from the burden grief of his wife's death. The chemistry between the unlikely duo Russell and Fredricksen along with the funny sidekicks are wholesome to watch, visuals and score are amazing as always, one of the Giacchino's best for sure. The villain is just fine though, he's good enough but a forgettable one, and I'm on second viewing right now, but I still didn't get why this movie ranked among the best Pixar movie in the catalog.
