What would be the best movie for me to watch if I'm looking for something that would take me back to my childhood, but not feel super cartoonish?
Well, Maleficent Mistress of Evil, The Adams Family, and Arctic Dogs are currently playing. Although Arctic Dogs is an animated film that is targeted to younger children. It may be too cartoonish for you.
Yeah, an animated film is not what I am currently looking for. I don't like feeling too young, or more like too old, when I'm trying to enjoy a movie. I just like the feeling of nostalgia that I get from watching movies that take me back to my childhood. They make me feel content with my life.
Okay, so it seems like the best movies for you to choose from would be The Adams Family or Maleficent Mistress of Evil. Do you know if any of your friends have seen either of these movies?
I know that a couple of them went to see Maleficent Mistress of Evil on the premier and said it was pretty great. One or two from the group really hated it though and said that it seemed overdone. None of my friends have seen the Adams Family yet though.
Yeah, the Adams Family is marketed a little more to the younger crowd right now... the movie is fully animated so it appeals to the kids.
Oh, I don't know if I would want to see a fully animated movie. I loved watching the Adams Family TV series while growing up, but one of my favorite aspects of it was the fact that it was not animated. Could you see what critics are saying about the movie right now?
Of course. They are saying that its "an unremarkable reboot" and that it "ain't quite what it could have been."
Oh man, thats super disappointing. I really felt like I could have enjoyed a feeling of nostalgia as I watched it. Do you think I should risk watching the Adams Family or do you think I would have better luck with Maleficent Mistress of Evil?
I could check the reviews on it if you would like?
Yes please, I really have been having trouble deciding if I should go. Especially because, like I said earlier, my friends either seemed to really like that movie or hate it.
So critics are saying that its "an improvement on the first film" and "it has enough live-action magic to bring the big screen alive." There are some negative reviews like this one that says that the movie "is rather mish-mashed in terms of ideology."
Well that sounds about right to how my friends felt about the movie. I did like the first one but I'm just scared to see a sequel because I feel like they never live up to their predecessor.
I would say see this one, especially if you liked Sleeping Beauty as a child because you did say you like to be taken back to your childhood when you watch movies.
You're right. Thank you so much for helping me figure out which movie to see. I'm horrible at making decisions and I really hope this one brings me more back to my childhood than the first movie.
No problem! I'm glad I was able to help and I hope you enjoy the show.
