#ScorpioReviews El Rey: Vicente Fernandez

El Rey: Vicente Fernández

Las primeras impresiones sobre la serie original y autorizada de Vicente Fernández son que simplemente fue una maravilla de proyecto. El sentimiento, dolor, pena, amor, sueños, alegría, fuerza y perseverancia se transmite profundamente en esta historia. Se nota que fue hecha con seriedad & paciencia y no a la carrera. El elenco fue increíble, ya que todos lograron transmitir lo necesario de su personaje. Si bien no cuenta toda la historia hasta el día de su muerte, si narra la etapa más conocida de Vicente y la parte poca conocida de su niñez. Los 4 actores de Vicentes estuvieron espectacular. En su estilo de actuar tanto de Vicente niño, adolescente, Joven y Adulto lograron transmitir el sentimiento adecuado para cada etapa de su vida. Quizás por ahí se puede criticar el audio al cantar de Vicente Niño y Adolescente. Muchas veces se a dicho que al momento de grabar una escena de canto se deben grabar por separado. Graban la canción y luego la agregan a la escena actuada. Así que quizás fue un problema de edición porque al escuchar la voz de Vicente cantando tanto niño como adolescente se escuchaba muy baja. Pero demasiada baja. Incluso parecía que no le llegaban a las notas pero pues no se si fue la interpretación o la edición. En cambio Sebastian Dante y Jaime Camil lo hicieron espectacular tanto al actuar como al cantar. 

Claro que existirán las criticas y quejas de la historia, voz o interpretación de Vicente. Pero la verdad fue un gran proyecto. La historia si, se nota que hay cosas contadas para proteger a Vicente o hacerlo ver mejor ante la gente. Pero igual hay veces que te lo dejan a tu criterio y dependiendo de lo que pasa alrededor sabrás como pasaron las cosas. El cambio de nombre de los personajes igual es normal aunque estaba autorizada por Vicente. En la BioSerie de Joan Sebastian y las otras que han salido pasan mismo para evitar demandas. Y eso que en la de Joan los mismo hijos Jose Msnuel Figueroa y Julian participaron en el proyecto. Pero con un poco de investigación sabes quien es quien en esta serie. Si bien en situaciones cuentan las cosas en otra manera pues tampoco es mentira ya que los eventos mostrados si suceden. En cambio en la otra serie de Vicente si se invento demasiado para vender el morbo y chisme. Sobre los personajes esto NO es oficial pero se podría decir que aparecieron:

Olga Wornat: Periodista

Lucha Villa: Cantante 

Jose Alfredo Jimenez: CantaAutor

Chabela Vargas: Cantante

entre muchos otros. Otra cosa criticada será la voz de los actores. Si bien como dije las voces de Vicente niño y adolescente no están a la altura de Vicente pero quizás fue un pequeño error de edición. Al igual que las voces de Sebastian Dante y Jaime Camil fueron bastantes buenas aún serán criticadas. Muchos pensaran que deben ser idénticas a Vicente al ser un BioSerie pero no. Así no funciona esto. No se trata de hacer una parodia de la vida de Vicente Fernández. Claro se podría traer a un imitador pero lo interpretaría con el cliché de siempre. Exagerando sus ademanes y estilo de canto para sonar más como el. Pero quizás no daría el mismo sentimiento al momento de interpretarlo en las escenas de actuación. Aún así aunque les duela a muchos e insistan en atacar tanto Sebastian Dante como Jaime Camil ellos lograron darle esa tonada de Vicente en algunas frases y algunas versos de algunas canciones. Hay canciones que suenan muy parecidas a Vicente en partes. Y no, no estoy diciendo que Sebastian Dante o Jaime Camil estén a la altura de ser el próximo Vicente Fernández pero si hay que reconocer el maravilloso trabajo que ambos hicieron. Tanto en preparación, interpretación y energía. Volviendo a la otra serie No autorizada simplemente se hizo a la carrera. El cantante suena como el mismo y en todo momento lo vez a el cantando. No te transmite ni en actuacion ni en interpretacion al cantar a Vicente Fernández. Otra cosa muy atinada fue la presentación de Vicente. En esta serie El Rey: Vicente Fernández tanto su look físicamente,detalles, vestuario entre otras cosas luce excelente. En general es una muy buena serie. Te lleva a diferentes etapas de la vida de Vicente Fernández no muy conocidas. Incluso si se podría hacer una segunda temporada creo que sin duda ellos sí se la ganaron. Para contar las partes que faltaron hasta el momento de su muerte. Muchas de las criticas de la serie fue de porque elegír a Jaime Camil para la parte adulta de Vicente y no a su hijo Alejandro Fernández. Creo esta más que claro el porque. En el dado caso de hacerse una BioSerie de Alejandro Fernández pues que mejor que e Él mismo haga su parte y su hijo Alex lo intérprete de joven. Así no repiten a Alejandro Fernández para dos proyectos. Pues en general como lo dije fue un gran proyecto hecho con mucha seriedad y cariño. Quizás el final fue un poco apresurado entre los últimos capítulos pero era para incluir esos momentos necesarios para el final de toda la serie. Pero fuera se ciertos detalles lo hicieron increíble en Actuación, historia, personajes, música e interpretación del gran Vicente Fernández. Definitivamente es muy recomendable ver esta serie. Tanto para los que conocen por completo a Vicente como a los que conocían poco de su vida o solo conocían sus canciones. Me parece una serie de 8.5. Por la actuacion, interpretación, canciones, personajes, historia, duración, producción, locaciones, vestuarios, y Los sentimientos que te muestran durante toda la serie.

Rating 8.5

#ScorpioReviews Pinocchio

Pinocchio

I don't remember if I read or saw the animated movie of Pinocchio but it has been a long since then. I only remembered the main things like proving to be a real boy (good boy), nose growing when lying, donkey ears, Jiminy Cricket being the conscious, the whale and turning into a Real Boy. This movie was very well done. They emphasize a lot more on the sadness of Geppetto. I don't know if as a kid I didn't realize as much the loss Geppetto felt. Or if they actually did made a stronger impact on this movie of Geppetto losing his son and wife. 

Tom Hanks was amazing as Geppetto. The emotions he transmitted were deep and sincere. Also, I don't really like musical movies but on this movie it was used just on the right places. The story was very well written. The plot went fluently and got right to the point. This movie gives a great lesson for kids in every part of the movie. You can tell their approach and how some was changed to reach new generations. Each moment teach a new lesson and even showed the consequences of each one. Now the end was kind of disappointing but understandable. I understand inclusion and wanting to defend the feeling of being different. But the story was well written already and I'm sure people would have understood. Changing the ethnic of the fairy is understandable because it doesn't affect the story and was a great choice of actress who has a great voice. Changing the whale to a sea monster was actually surprising but overall also didn't affected the story. But choosing not to transform Pinocchio into a real boy was like a safe choice rather than the best choice. They were afraid that people will say that being different is wrong and transforming the Wooden Boy into a real Boy would make some people believe that being different is bad. But it truly wouldn't. People would have to understand that even do this Stories give real lessons they are still mostly fantasy. But still they left the choice open for the audience to choose. Maybe he did became a real boy or maybe that happen on another version as Jiminy Cricket said it himself. 

Overall I really enjoyed the movie. It had that classic Disney magic all the time. I definitely recommend this movie. Specially to kids because I feel they will learn the lessons given but still enjoy the movie at the same time. They won't feel as if they are being told what to do but they will actually see what could happen. This was a great movie and I will rate it 8.0. The movie had a fast pace and wasn't really rushed but at times it felt they could have elaborated on certain moments of the movie. Still it was nice family movie.

Rating 8.0

#ScorpioReviews - Thor Love and Thunder

Thor: Love and Thunder

I heard many mixed reviews from Thor Love and Thunder but mostly they were bad reviews. But I really don't understand why. From the beginning the movie starts great. Brief description of the villain and on to what has been going on with Thor. We learn about what is going on with the Guardian Of The Galaxy and why they leave. Also, we learn what happened to Jane Foster. I wasn't sure what route they will take to return her. Either a Multiversal version, sudden appearance or actually explaining what happened to her. Glad they explained what had happened to Jane all this time and how she becomes Mighty Thor. Now the comedy, yes, at times seems like too much. But the comedy was nice and fitted the moments. I don't think it was childish  maybe excessive at times but it was fun. The comedy was well written and well place. The movie had great and constant comedy moments but the fighting scenes were also amazing. The fights combined with the soundtrack were amazing. I really don't see why many attacked this movie as they did. It had a well elaborated plot, new characters, comedy, action, tension and many nice surprises. Meeting the Gods was great. Something knew and we were hinted this plot will continue. Even do a lot was going on on this movie nothing was actually rushed. Maybe the first minutes but it was well done. We didn't really need much information, they gave enough and then continued to the new stuff. Gorr as a villain was great. Maybe if he appeared a few more minutes would have been better but his fights were great. Introducing Heimdall's son, Zeus, and even Hercules was a nice touch. Now there was one thing Im not sure why they decided to do it like that. There was a huge rumor that Thor died on this movie. I guess it was correct since Mighty Thor aka Jane Foster dies. But why did she died? Gorr could have desire anything. He seem like he redeem himself. He even thought that if he resurrected his daughter she would be alone. So he could have chosen to cure Jane Foster and he could have been with her daughter in the afterlife. But maybe even when redeeming himself he wouldn't been able to be with her. But Thor raising a villains daughter was unexpected. I was even more surprised to know that the character "Love" is Chris Hemsworth actual daughter. I believe she might be the character Mistress Love from the comics. She is supposed to be the physical representation of the actual feeling Love. That will need more explaining, later on. Still I believe Mighty Thor could have at least continued for a few more movies. Maybe it was that Natalie Portman wanted to end her character now so she wouldn't be tied to future Marvel projects? Maybe because of Natalie's age but then again it's not much difference than Chris's age. Or maybe the story was written like that since the beginning. But still seeing how it ended, she could still potentially come back at least for a special moment (maybe SecretWars?) Also, it seems Thor might be getting a new Trilogy like Spider-Man and that would be great. Not sure if this Eternity version is the same shown in the Marvel Guardian Of The Galaxy video game but felt it could have been explained further. Also, not sure if they will mention or explain something related to the Eternals later on. The movie had enough of everything and hinted several new characters and a probable plot that the Guardians Of The Galaxy could take for their movie.

Overall, this was a great movie. My conclusion is that people hated this movie because Jane died and people wanted her to continue in the MCU. But again, we don't know if this was an actors decision or a character decision. Maybe they wanted to make an impact on Thor life and this was the best way. Still I beleieve this movie had a lot of good stuff and people should rewatch ot without the tension and mystery of the first time. This was a great movie that I would definitely recommend. I will rate it an 8.5. It was great, fun, intense and even sad but yes there were moments that could have been done slightly better. I was close to giving it a 9 but for different reasons it compares more to other 8.5 movies.

****Anyways, I think I know why people are starting to hate Marvel's projects from Movies to Series. People are now expecting major crossover events in Every movie! They are forgetting these are sequels or continuations of other movies. Ever since Spider-Man No Way Home people are expecting huge Characters to meet. Even do No Way Home also wasn't what people expected. If you watch closely Marvel's MCU Phase 4 the best actual complete movies are between ShangChi, Doctor Strange and Thor since BlackPanther hasn't released yet. These 3 movies had an actual well written script. It had great plots, comedy, action, information, and character development. BlackWidow was ok but felt incomplete like it needed more. Spider-Man No Way Home was really just a fan service. NoWayHome movie plot was rushed and they just kept adding stuff even do some moments didn't make sense or contradict with another event. Also, many criticize on the comedy shown on Movies and Series but this format has been around since IronMan 1. The difference is that back then we were discovering the main Avengers on each movie until they unite. Now we are seeing new heroes and villains most people dont recognize. Also, now we are having more Adult moments we never saw back then. They are that huge moments but we are seeing more Love, Language, Violence Hororr and some even gore scenes we never saw before. So people should just watch these movies as they come along and later a crossover event will happen. They said the next major crossover event could happen in SecretInvasion. ***

#ScorpioReviews The Black Phone

The Black Phone

This movie ever since the first trailer looked interesting. Now available in the streaming service, Peacock. Talks about some cases of missing children but with a supernatural twist. A kidnapper known as the Grabber takes children and murders them. It is different that most of these kind of movies. You leave with a semi satisfying feeling after it's done. There is still the tragedy of the first children who were kidnapped and killed. But when the last kid, Finn, is taken he manages to to kill The Grabber and return safely home with his family. Finn was able to escape thanks to the voices of the dead children. Through a broken phone Finn received instructions on what to do to escape. Each kid gave him a tip on how to prepared for the final confrontation with The Grabber. It was a really good movie set in the year 1978. We see the lives of several children and their lifestyle on school. Then each is kidnapped by a man in a black van know as The Grabber. What makes this movie different is that Finn is able to listen to the previous dead children through a broken black phone. Also, his sister is able to receive premonition on her dreams. But she isn't able to control them so she ask God for help. The rest seems like other movies. A crazy man kidnapping kids, held them in a basement, playing and torture them until he finally kills them. 

Overall it is a great movie. You can feel the tension and suspense every moment Finn is being held captive. Definitely, recommend it to watch. I will rate it an 8.5. The movie got  right to the point but also explained each moment adequately. We got the necessary information to know what is going on, plus we got extra details and scenes to add up to the characters development. We got to know well the main characters and they are described in a real and believable way. A real story was well told plus the supernatural addition adds to the interest of the movie. A great well made movie with a great plot, cast and script.

The movie starts with a comanche girl trying to prove herself she is ready to hunt. Along with her dog she almost caught a deer but it got away. After a predator is seen descending to the forest.

But Naru knew there was something else out there alot more dangerous than the lion. She told her brother to go together to find it but he refused. The next day she decided to go out and trained her hunting skills. After successfully hunting several rabbits she decided to go after the unknown creature. But the Predator was already tracking her. When she try to hunt a bear she failed and almost got eaten by the bear. But the Predator came to kill the bear and she manages to escape on time. She was later found by members of her tribe send by hee brother to look for her. She warned them about the creature but didn't believe her. Not until they all confronted the creature together. They all fought him and injured him but he still killed them all. The Predator defeated them all by himself. Naru kept trying to escape and was found by another tribe member that was also killed. She kept running until she was caught in a trap by French Trappers. They wanted to know more about the creature. They had already trapped her brother Taabe. Since she refused They used Naru and Tabe as bait for the Predator. Naru realized the creature hadn't killed her before because it didn't believe she was a threat. It like to hunt what he believed could be threats. So the Predator didn't went after them but instead fornthe Trappers. The Predator fought and defeated the French Trappers by using all his skills and gadgets. While he fought them Naru and Taabe managed to escape. 

Naru went back to rescue her dog and had to killed the remaining Trappers to do it. Taabe went to steal a horse. While healing a Trapper that teach her how to use the powder gun the Predator arrives.

She warned her people of the Trappers so they had to move to safer lands. Everyone saw her with respect for killing the creature and returning alive after her fights.

This movie released on a Hulu & Disney+ streaming service. It received a lot of good reviews. Many liked the script, cast, picture, female empowerment and the culture presentation. Honestly, it was a great movie. The characters development was accurate. The tension build up and realism made a greater impact on the movie. There were so much details that took us back to that era. It was a great movie but maybe some exaggerated it a bit. I did like the locations, plot and cast. But maybe it was a bit rushed. It didn't ruin the experience but maybe they could have elaborated on some parts at least a little bit more. It was nice seeing how the protagonist Naru, learned from her mistakes and kept improvingherself. At the beginning she was a great tracker but a bad hunter. But as the movie progress we saw how she kept improving little by little. Up until the end on which the inexperienced hunter end up defeating the best hunter they knew. The dog companion was great. It is usually a torture to see a dog on a movie because they usually kill them. But not on this movie and they even made the dog an important part of the movie. Now this movie is supposed to occurred 300 years before the original Predators movies. We didn't saw much of how or why he chose this planet. But it seems it was a Predator that was just having fun. As if he just chose that place to hunt them for fun without any specific reason. Also, didn't have the full gadgets as the others but still had many similar weapons. Now I realize there were to versions. The original English movie and the dub Comanche language. Not sure which one I watch. I read that the original movie was meant to be watch in the comanche language. When Fox was acquired by Disney they made the original language of the movie English. But the original script drafts were in comanche. Still today most of the production members and the cast recommended watching it in the comanche language for a more inmerverse experience. So Im not sure on which version I watched it but I noticed as if the movie was dubbed. Sometimes the voice seemed as if it didn't match the picture. Or maybe it was the way they acted, still not sure.

Overall, I really enjoyed the movie. I wouldn't put it at the level some said it was but it was good. I will rate it 8.0. Definitely recommended, a must watch. The level of details, character development, suspense, action scenes made it a quality production.

#ScorpioReviews Lightyear

Lightyear

First, I didn't even know what to expect. Was this the Buzz Lightyear that got stuck on a toy? Did his mission inspire movies and toys? How was the toy alive? Is this an alternate story? Is Buzz just a movie in ToyStory universe? Really didn't even know the exact timeline. But hoping they will clarify if this will be connected to the ToyStory universe.

This movie is about Buzz Lightyear and Alicia Hawthorne who are Space Rangers. The movie starts when Buzz decides to explore a planet where they detected lifeforms. But once they landed they encounter creatures that attack them. Then they are stuck there forever. Buzz is the only one who attempts to find a way out and go back home. On his attempt to escape Buzz must reach hyperspeed. But he fails constantly and everytime he fails he travels years into the future. So, as his friends keeps aging normally Buzz stays the same. He keeps going over 100 years and he reach the time when his friend Alisha dies and even got to meet his friend's granddaughter Izzy Hawthorne. Buzz even receives a companion Cat bot which help him through his mission. As he keeps going he eventually works with his new team and learns to trust them to succeed. 

When Buzz finally founds the fuel needed to return home a new villain appears. His name is Zurg. He is after Buzz to get him to help him go back home. Due to his new team inexperience he constantly fails to keep the fuel and finally Zurg gets the fuel and also takes Buzz. It is later revealed that Zurg is actually Buzz from the future. He explained that with that fuel they could use it to go back in time to prevent any of this to happen. When older Buzz tries to explain his plan, Buzz realizes that if he helps older Buzz then his new team would disappear. Also, his friend Alisha Hawthorne wouldn't have had the family & life she had on that planet. Everyone will disappear if they go back in time. Buzz decides to fight back and with the help of his new team manages to stop older Buzz and go back to the planet they were. Once they land they were greeted by the new commander. He told Buzz he would create a new Space Ranger program and he could choose his new team. But Buzz chose the Rookie team and use the new suit, resembling the Suit from ToyStory. The movie's postcredit scenes showed that Zurg, older Buzz, survived.

It was a Good movie. The soft Comedy and and action scenes keeps you entertained. Also, the lessons they gives us are nice but not too emotional. But I believe the plot was too much. Too complicated for a family movie. The whole time travel, aging, missions didn't really make sense for a movie like this. Another thing is the connection with the ToyStory franchise. I believe they didn't actually mentioned much.

At the begging of the movie they say Andy got a toy from his favorite movie and that this was that movie. So it seems the whole BuzzLightyear is a fictional movie in the ToyStory universe. They probably should have chosen another conflict to make the movie more simple. Still it is a good watch. It also had great action scenes for a Kids movie. The excitement and tension was constantly there. Overall I would recommend this movie. I would give it a 7.0. It was a good movie but since it was base on a huge franchise, I feel it should have been better. Still the soft, dry Comedy was well placed and the excitement of the movie was great.
