Toy Story 4 (Josh Cooley, June 21, 2019) Movie • Page 10

Watched 3 last night. I think 2 was maybe funnier, but 3 hit me much more, emotionally. Excited for 4 tonight.

 

This is very good.

 

Just saw this, me and my 6 year old cried together.

 

honestly Keanu & Hanks are kind of a toss up for marry

 

Keanu’s a pretty heavy smoker, so he’s clearly the bad boy you dont take home to mother.

 

the real issue is how do you marry Tom Hanks if he's our dad

 

This was awesome and surprisingly fresh. Definitely justified its existence and didn't feel like a sequel for nostalgia's sake which was, honestly, kind of what I expected. Forky is the star of the show, Keanu and Key/Peele also hysterical. Person next to me was absolutely sobbing and the whole theatre was cracking up pretty much any time Bunny and Ducky opened their mouths. Huge spoilers I kind of loved how this movie didn't really have a villain. Wouldn't even call it a "twist" but Gabby's plot line felt really well-earned to me. All felt in spirit with what this movie was saying and the spirit of the series as a whole. Definitely my second favorite blockbuster of the year behind Endgame.

 

Great movie. Most consistent movie franchise.

 

This is a good movie. However my initial thought is that it isn’t good as the other ones. I don’t know, I feel like it started off slow but then it picked up.

To be honest I actually didn’t care for the ending too much. I understand why they did it the way they did but I think I may have done it differently. I just didn’t get the real heartfelt feeling that I was expecting to get.

I really nitpick things when it comes to movies and it really bothered me that the cops just allowed the father to just keep driving the RV after stopping them. Like even if it wasn’t his fault, no way they let someone keep driving that death trap lol

 

Loved it. All the new toys were great. Always loved the way they animate the toys running around, especially Woody's flailing. It's so goofy and endearing but probably really difficult to animate.

 

The animation in this movie is incredible. It’s come so far since ‘95

 

If I picture the first one the animation looks like it does now, it’s only when I go to actually watch it that I remember it looks sooooo different.

 

The first one still looks surprisingly great for being 1995/the first full length computer animated movie. Obviously budget is a big factor, but there's computer animated stuff that's come out in recent years that look way worse.

That reminds me... You guys should read about the making of the movie Foodfight, and then get drunk/high and watch it with a bunch of friends.

 

$12 million in Thursday previews last night. Second best for an animated film, behind Incredibles 2.

 

I'll be honest, I never really picked up on this

 

I think that’s a shitty take. But I often think Bibs has pretty shitty takes.

 

I thought he kiiiiinda had a point with Shazam about how Freddy's handicap basically disappears for the duration of him having superpowers, and how much of a missed opportunity that was to uplift people with disabilities, but I don't know where he's going with this at all. Bibbs isn't one of my favorite critics or anything, but this at least seems to be coming from an honest place

 

After watching the new one, my rankings are:

1. Toy Story 3
2. Toy Story
3. Toy Story 4
4. Toy Story 2


They're all great though.

 

It’s early, but this is coming in under projections. Weekend is estimated at $136 million.
Projections were around $150.
Obviously not a bomb/misfire/etc, but interesting that it’s missing those numbers.

 

I totally agree with that take. It's others like how "Spider Verse" was fat shaming people that make me scratch my head.

 

That's someone stretching for a message that isn't there and twisting it into something he can make a social commentary about. Terrible take.

The film's really good. No way I can really rank it relation to the others yet - it kind of works more as a standalone from the first three anyway - but it's really good. Justifies their decision to make another one.
