Review of Raya and the Last Dragon (2021) by Psychopax — 09 Mar 2021

It has a very interesting concept, but man does it also have issues. The pacing is not good and everything is a bit rushed, the characters constantly make mind numbingly dumb decisions, on top of not being developed very well.

The movie also makes a rather stupid point to trust everyone and compares two situations that are not comparable. Trying to tell people to trust one another when one person caused the end of the world then doubled down on it is an exceptionally awful decision and should not be taught in any film.

TL;DR: Somewhat interesting concept, could have executed world building much better, not very good character development, and LOTS of very very poor character decisions where everyone is insanely dumb.

This is very much a don't use your brain movie.
