Review of Lightyear (2022) by Drewstoystory — 17 Jun 2022

Buzz is my favorite fictional character of all time. So I was very excited to get back in a theater after a couple years and watch this film. It was underwhelming, to say the least. In a nutshell, it left me craving to hear Tim Allen voice the iconic character again.

I’m a Gen-Z’er, so I understand Chris Evans *might have broader appeal, however his voice just doesn’t have the crispness and maturity as the original. Some of the side characters were interesting, but the core characters like Buzz and Zurg were underwhelming, and I thought the Zurg reveal was a disappointing decision.

It seems to me that the film tried to do too much rather than just tell a story. Visuals are nice, just wish there were more elements that compliment the Toy Story films.
