Despite lasting only a week in theatres and low scores… I had a good time 😛
I’ve not watched Tom & Jerry in quite some time. So maybe my experience differed from that of current viewers, which could explain the disparity in our scores. A game of cat & mouse activates a forbidden compass, transporting the duo into a realm where they find themselves amidst a 300 year old feud.
One side wants revenge for being betrayed in his attempt to protect his city. The other has been banished from heaven and wants to find his way back. Tom & Jerry find themselves on both ends, but will friendship over come evil / temptation?
There’s a lot of gooey goodness here on both sides of the conflict. Phoenix master vs Rat Lord, this was a fun watch.
A jarring, odd rap occurred over dinner was an interesting choice, but I loved the Chinese musical themes and settings. First hour I honestly had a great time. Sadly last 30 minutes felt extremely rushed and dropped my score. Popped score of 7.5 which honestly maybe the highest I’ve seen out there but I honestly had such a fun time. Maybe having the theatre to myself raised my experience but you’ll have to check it out and see for yourself.
Stay tuned for what’s coming next. Some awesome movies are still releasing after the summer wrapped!
Popped!
