Review of Tom & Jerry (2021) by Minoubean8 — 03 Apr 2021

This is probably one of the most underwhelming, lazy, and played-out movies I've seen in my life (and trust me there are a lot of them). The ANIMATION: it's amazing, I can't lie, the squash and stretch of the 3D models, and how many techniques that are known to be used in 2D animation are actually shown to work in 3D, and it's great, the character is expressive and full of life, the only problem is that it doesn't mesh too well with the real-life actors, the animated characters react really well with the environment (for the MOST part), but the acting is pretty mediocre which causes some scenes to look really awkward, Chloe G.

Moretz (Kayla) does an incredibly **** job, there are scenes where she doesn't act accordingly to the characters, an example is when the Preeta's cat jumps on her waist, where she literally takes 2 ENTIRE SECONDS to use her hand to hold the cat, and it doesn't look very good, or in the scene where fish are sold, some scenes look really gross when people are holding the fish, anyways.

TEH MUSICA: It's fine, just doesn't suit tom and jerry too much, sometimes it's a bit ear-grading but some of it is catchy. The PLOT: I would honestly like to meet the people who made the plot of the movie, especially in the small details, something that I personally do not like in this movie is that there are way too many references to modern technology, especially modern-day apps because it's a complete insult to Tom and Jerry, as it's a timeless classic in cartoons, and all of these producers thinking that people will like the movie because we have references to Tik-Tok and Instagram, it's all technology fatigue when I want to watch a movie, I want to disconnect from all the technology and go to something that is timeless, something that will never age because it's popular technology doesn't mean that it's beloved, that's why it's really awkward when Tom does the floss or when some of the animal characters say things like "o.

M.g.!" or "L O L!!" or when some of the real life actors or even animated ones are shown to whip out their phones to check Instagram, it makes me want to die on the inside, it's the same feeling I get when I watch the 2 scenes where Sonic flosses for 5 seconds in each of them.

The movie has terrible acting (except for the hotel manager he's great!), amazing animation, but **** plot and direction...
