  • JURASSIC WORLD REBIRTH 2025 Movie Review – Ending Explained

    One thing I can tell you about Jurassic World Rebirth is that Scarlett Johansson is really good at eating a bowl of cereal! I was not impressed with any of the actors in general in this movie with the exception of one scene where a bowl of cereal is superbly consumed. I USED to think Johansson couldn’t act her way out of a wet paper bag. How wrong I was! Move over Daniel Day-Lewis! Martin Scorsese is ditching you for Scarlett Johansson in his upcoming biopic about a person that once ate a bowl of cereal!

    Was Jurassic World Rebirth any good? I’ll be honest, I had a really hard time deciding that in my brain as I exited the theater. Let’s talk about the good first. The CGI seemed fine. That is a bigger compliment than it sounds, because I tend to like practical effects wayyy more than CGI. Although a lot of the exposition was boring, (aside from a bowl of cereal eaten with Juilliard-level acting precision), I found myself just chillin’ and enjoyin’ a big budget dinosaur movie. You don’t need substance in your script to enjoy dinosaurs! If nothing else, this movie definitely proved that for me. Lastly, the best part of the movie was the moral. It was not subtle at all. They have a conversation about whether they should really give the biological samples they are collecting to the rich people that hired them or give the data to everyone to benefit humanity. This was very direct social commentary on how the billionaire class doesn’t care about the proletariat. Advances in science and technology should be motivated by helping people, not by profits.

    The bad – The characterization was rushed/forced and resulted in none of the characters being interesting or likable. When characters die, the remaining ones are just like “Oh well at least it wasn’t us” and go about their task. It’s almost as if the movie is self-aware that the characters don’t matter. But even the lead hero and lead villain are just totally “meh”. I can’t think of a single cool thing either of them did that was worth remembering. The plot of the movie is thin, the dialogue even thinner. All the characters are constantly making horribly bad decisions. This irritates me in movies, but I have been trying to reconcile this irritation as of late. Normies in real life constantly make stoopid decisions so maybe this is actually more realistic than seeing characters on screen with good reasoning skills.

    Ending Explained: The characters who had the most speaking lines survive by getting on a boat.

    Final Thoughts: Did I like or dislike this movie? I eventually figured this out by asking myself the question: would I watch it a second time? I realized that no, I would not want to use my time doing that. However, it was enjoyable enough to watch it once on a big screen. I am not sure if it would work well if you watched it on your TV at home though. Plus, the real reason you should see this one at the theater is to see Scarlett Johansson eat the BIG bowl of cereal! I don’t care about the concept of proportion! BIG bowl of cereal or NOTHING! 

    Rating: 5/10 Crowns

  • BALLERINA 2025 Movie Review – Ending Explained

    Do you love movies that have BOTH lines AND scenes? If so, you will not be disappointed in Ballerina! I assure you this movie has things to look at and words to hear. If I were an easily satiated Drawma Kingg, I would have LIKED IT too.

    Let me start with a lil bit of good before all the bad. The action scenes are probably the only reason other people like this movie. I had issues with them that I will get to later, but I will say that they did accomplish keeping the viewer on edge from moment to moment. The violence was over-the-top, including constant moider and lots o’ grenades. There always seems to be a hammer laying in arms reach, and let’s not forget the klassy flamethrower on flamethrower battle! The extreme nature of these scenes could be a pro or con, depending on the viewer, but I would guess it’s a pro for most people buying a ticket to a John Wick Universe movie. The other pros are: one funny scene about John Wick’s reputation, and the acting of Ana de Armas. I think she did her best with the lack of anything interesting in the script.

    Begin serious trash talk. Ballerina’s plot and script were far from intriguing. Your brain could just completely give up and sign out from life to avoid having to finish watching it. I sat through the whole thing completely awake and sober, and I literally cannot think of a single interesting thing to relate to you about the events of the film. I think to myself: were the John Wick movies this dull? I don’t recall thinking they were very good when I watched them, but I also don’t recall them being this thin in plot. Then again, since I barely recall the several John Wick movies I’ve watched, that may suggest that they were equally void of information.

    Why is it called Ballerina? They make it very clear at the start of the film that she likes this ballerina knickknack. The knickknack likes her back (I think). Her assassin training program she enrolled in also makes her do ballet stuff. I think there was supposed to be more to her ballerina persona beyond all that, but it kinda just stops there.

    Ending Explained: She defeats the villain while perhaps becoming one. She lives on for sequel.

    Final Thoughts: 3/10 Stars. Ballerina just wasn’t for me. Although quite dramatic, the movie wasn’t enjoyable unless you want to watch a movie with a main character that is constantly moidering their opponents left and right (not morally obvo). I also don’t think they presented a good character origin story. I’m pretty sure teleportation was involved with some documents at one point. Just a lazy story, without any nutrition. And let me tell yoo – this Drawma Kingg needs to eat!!
