Ralph Breaks the Internet was decent. The story is basic and gets dull at times but there is a good message are enough fun jokes and pop culture references to make this entertaining. The Disney princess part was possibly the funniest move moment of 2018. 7/10

Here are few more reviews of movies I saw over Christmas:

Red Sparrow: A solid slow burning spy movie that kept me guessing until the end. It was sometimes convoluted though and had an over reliance on graphic sex and violence. Also Jennifer Lawrence gives a solid performance if you can ignore her accent repeatedly changing between American and sort of Russian. 7/10

Pacific Rim: Uprising: I didn't like the first one and knew this would be worse but decided to watch just to see the Jaegers fight in Sydney. The movie started out as I expected, being a typically bad sci fi action sequel, and then devolved into a ridiculous mess I could only laugh at. I guess I sort of enjoyed parts in a this is so bad it is good kind of way. The Sydney battle was a bit of a disappointment. Not enough destruction and a few parts were obviously filmed in Brisbane. 4/10

Mission: Impossible - Fallout: Yes it is dumb, I am expected to remember characters and plot points from the previous movies, and you'd think by now they'd come up with a gimmick other than the face swap but overall this is just a really solid action movie. The actions scenes are exhilarating and always had me on the edge of my seat. It also didn't just feel like mindless action but was instead purposeful to the plot with real stakes. I especially enjoyed the scene where Tom Cruise just keeps running and running. 8/10

Downsizing: This had so much wasted potential and leaves me feeling annoyed every time I think of it. It started out well with some cool sci fi, social commentary, and dark humour but started meandering and went no where. The 3rd act is especially bad and did not have a satisfying conclusion. It's like the writers had no idea what to do with the story so they just didn't do anything with it. 3/10

I also saw Into the Spider-verse recently and put a review in the comic book movie thread. Highly entertaining. 9/10
