Stand by Me Doraemon 2
Successful in manga, 'Doraemon' was adapted into a 2014 CGI animation called 'Stand by Me Doraemon'. Now, the franchise returns with 'Stand by Me Doraemon 2' (released as such, with part of the title in uppercase), a movie that arrives exclusively on Netflix. Here, we follow the friendly Nobita once again, with the help of the robotic cat from the future Doraemon, traveling to the past once again, now causing a series of damages to the present and the future - which they will, once again, have to solve. With doses of drama, humor and suspense, along with lots of innocence of childhood and friendship, it is one of those stories that involve the viewer.
Dragon Quest: Your Story
In Japan, the 'Dragon Quest' video game franchise is a true phenomenon and, worldwide, it is one of the most acclaimed RPG and fantasy sagas of all time. Under the supervision of its creator, Yuji Horii, 'Dragon Quest: Your Story' is the animated adaptation of the fifth installment of the franchise, and although it does not follow the iconic art direction of Akira Toriyama (also creator of 'Dragon Ball'), the movie maintains other elements from the game, such as the fabulous music of Koichi Sugiyama and countless fantastic creatures. It may not be very accessible to the uninitiated, but it will certainly be great entertainment for fans of the saga.
Godzilla Minus One
For Western audiences, Godzilla might seem like a monster from purely spectacular movies, recently famous for Warner Bros.' MonsterVerse inaugurated by the 2014 film. However, it's essential to remember that this character originated in Japan and, while having a long history of somewhat silly monster movies, has roots in the Asian country's history with nuclear disasters. 'Godzilla Minus One' is a return to these roots, setting the story right after World War II and with a deeply human narrative with the monster as the antagonist. This doesn't mean it lacks visual spectacle; quite the opposite. However, it achieves the difficult balance between entertainment and a profound narrative that will leave you both shocked and moved.
Action
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is the fifth and most exhausting (and exhausted) film in the franchise. Directed by Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg (both of Kon-Tiki), the movie tries to bring back old characters, like Orlando Bloom’s Will Turner, while introducing new actors, such as Javier Bardem as Captain Salazar and Kaya Scodelario as Carina Smyth. The fact is, you can tell the veteran actors are tired: they seem less natural and less fun than in previous films. It's worth noting that during the shooting of this fifth chapter, Depp was experiencing the downfall of his career amidst his divorce from fellow actress Amber Heard. As a result, it’s a rather uneven conclusion, wrapping up some storylines while leaving others open for a sixth film that never materialized. At least there's still some fun to be had with the always inspired Geoffrey Rush and Bardem's seductive villain. A bittersweet end, but with a hint of what Pirates of the Caribbean once was.
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
You could say that Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is the movie almost no one asked for. After a trilogy of blockbusters far above average, Disney insisted on a fourth film in the saga. This time, Gore Verbinski steps aside to make way for director Rob Marshall, known for Into the Woods and Chicago — a filmmaker more accustomed to musicals than to movies like this. The cast sees the departure of Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley, and Bill Nighy, while Penélope Cruz and Ian McShane join the story, accompanying Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) and Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) on a quest to find the Fountain of Youth, only to discover that Blackbeard (McShane) and his daughter (Cruz) are after it too. The film is far less exciting and entertaining than its predecessors, missing the familiar magic, though it still carries a spark. There’s some fun to be had in this world, which begins to carry a sense of urgency toward its end. The standout is Rush, portraying a less cynical and more emotional Barbossa.
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End is the near-perfect conclusion to the initial trilogy directed by Gore Verbinski, solidifying it as a true Disney blockbuster saga that knows how to play with Hollywood's cinematic symbols and meanings, and more importantly, respects moments of silence, character transformations, and is unafraid to bring closure. In this chapter, Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) head East in search of a way to rescue Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) from Davy Jones' (Bill Nighy) purgatory, while the East India Trading Company uses the Flying Dutchman to dominate the seas and end piracy. The film works not only because of its energetic and urgent tone, but also for surprising audiences with unexpected alliances, like the partnership with Captain Hector Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush, always brilliant) and the Black Pearl pirates. With Hans Zimmer's iconic score, the film amplifies the terror surrounding Jones, who is not just a villain seeking revenge—there is something dramatic behind his now more fragile figure. It’s a film that thrills, moves, and gets you on your feet, especially during the final showdown filled with excellent special effects.
