It's tough to praise a film like this and try to find a single negative aspect. Films like A Christmas story aren't successful because of how well it was writing or shot, but because it carries an atmosphere that has to be made while filming and is anything but intensional. It's almost supernatural and doesn't even transpire until decades after the film is released. This factor doesn't give the film good box office but will do something much better, it carves itself into the psyche of hundreds of generations to come making itself one of the most watched movies of the year, during one single month of the year, every freaking year! Yes there are many Christmas movies to watch but not many that attempt to not just be a Christmas memory but create the Christmas memory. Sure the family can sit for any Christmas movie and have a good time, but to give the family a film to ingest and formulate themselves into the film no matter what location and generation is truly magical. This film stands out on its own during the Christmas season as thee family Christmas film to watch not just because it takes place on Christmas, but because it recreates the Christmas we all felt when we were young or showed itself as the one we wish we had. Weather we listened to little orphan Annie or watched wb kids we all want that feeling that Christmas is still the pure joyess season even if you do want a badass airsoft gun and swear at the old man while changing tires in traffic.

This is one of the greatest movies based on a game. In a genre that struggles for success and trying to find a balance of respecting source material and creating an interpretation that has originality, authenticity, and character, this film does all and more. The casting of this movie is perfect with Jon Foo as a fantastic lead he fills the shoes of Jin with ease and Cary Tagawa is always a brilliant villain inhabiting his character with energy and passion. There is also a well written plot that is in focus and holds strong with wonderful cinematography and dialogue. The choreography is definitely where this movie shines with stunts and hand to hand combat that captivates throughout the entire film. Dwight Little does an exceptional job at directing this movie and the VFX team did great at depicting the dystopian future with vibrant colors and giving life to the streets of this world of corruption and poverty. If you love Tekken and cinema this is a film worth watching!

I have been a Hasbro superfan since I was young and have loved everything transformers so I had high expectations for this prequel and I have to say Bumblebee is the best live action Transformers movie ever made. Hailee Steinfeld is an amazing actor and plays her role of Charlie Watson with absolute heart and soul and John Cena is an incredibly strong supporting actor and antagonist. Although the first two Transformers movies are timeless and Shia's performance was impressive, this prequel has a spectacularly well written story that is emotionally driven and intelligent. Character arc and development is consistent and in focus throughout the film. The visual effects hold the same high standard as any Bay film, and having Spielberg as a producer is very apparent giving the film a sense of age and nostalgia making this film a sure classic. With cinematography and screenplay that is unmatched in the others this movie is a must see for any Transformers fan and is sure to give a new interest in the newcomers.
