Sonic the Hedgehog (2020)

[IMDB; en.wikipedia]

Great animation.
Entertaining.

Coherent and Consistent storyline.
Smart.
Linear, but very catchy. Never drags. Keeps the viewer focused on the story the whole time.

Totally loved that CG character Sonic :)
...and Jim Carrey delivers an excellent performance!

Let me be clear on this: it's Jim Carrey's performance that pushes the movie from good to great!

Suitable for both children and adults. Each of them shall love it and consume it in their own way...

Conclusions

Time well spent. Money well spent.
Best animation I've seen for a long time now - much better than Toy Story 4.
Looking forward for the sequel.

Birds of Prey: And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn (2020)

[IMDB; en.wikipedia]

Entertaining. Really entertaining.

Incredibly good.
Almost awesome, I'd say.

Coherent and Consistent storyline.
Smart. Really, it's a lot smarter than you'd expect.
Never drags. Never.
Keeps a fast pace from start to end, which is great.
A simple story, indeed, yet they manage to create quite a lot of magic around it.

Really good acting.
All actors deliver a really good performance.
There's a really good chemistry between all of them.

Delivers the action it promises. In fact, delivers more action than the trailer promises, which rarely happens these days.

Really good special effects. Not very expensive, but really good.

The cinema experience is a must.

I must admit to have started with low expectations... but ended up very pleased about the whole movie!

I'm totally in for the sequel!

Conclusions

Definitely worth watching. Definitely.
Money well spent. Time well spent.
