Chupa (2023)
They tried to make something, I just don't know what
The Bad:
-Acting
-The way the story is presented
-The actors didn't seem to want to be in the movie
The Good: -They made a Chupacabra movie -It's free with a Netflix subscription -It's a Latino mythology/culture movie
So, let me explain myself, the story is about a more childish version of the "mythical" Chupacabras. While introducing a bit of the Mexican Lucha Libre culture. The acting is horrible, is like the actors know they movie is crap, but they still need a job...The acting seems forced, but it has to do with the fact that whoever wrote this movie didn't even try to make a decent script.

Raising Dion (2019)
A good idea poorly executed
In this era, when everything on TV has to be about superpowers we get this "new Show" Raising Dion, a kid with powers based on science...that being said, the rest is pretty common, there are others with powers, there is a bad dude that is kidnapping the ones with powers, etc.
I don't understand who made this casting...the only good actor in this seems to be Michael B. Jordan and he comes and goes on the show.
Wouldn't recomend it to be watched, but if they do make a second season they might be able to improve the show.

Batman and Harley Quinn (2017)
A punch in the face for the Batman the Animated Series fans.
OK, the title has "Harley Quinn" on the title...so there is some goofing around to be expected on this animated movie...with that being said...
The Plot: Poison Ivy along with the Floronic Man get together to turn the whole world into "Veggie-people", so Batman needs Harley Quinn for information on how to track Poison Ivy before she can complete her plan. In the process to find her, Nightwing gets captured by Harley Quinn and in a scene taken out of any mature movie, (and despite the previous critics on the sexual scene between Batman and Batgirl on "Batman: The Killing Joke") Harley Quinn goes all 50 shades of Grey on Nightwing, and Nightwing responds as Vin Diesel on XXX. From there the story keeps going down in a landslide, Batman smiles, there are fart jokes, biggest weapon against Poison Ivy is Harley's sad face, Swamp thing makes the dumbest appearance ever.
When Batman the Animated Series started back in 1992 it was praised because it gave the much needed darker tone that the Batman series needed and that was brought by Tim Burton in his Batman film in 1989 and that Bruce Timm was able to bring into the animated series. But now it seems like Bruce Timm simply forgot the show, he just missed every single thing that made the series great.
Instead of giving us a nostalgia with the 90's Series, we get a "Return of the Caped Crusaders" (Which was a great film because it caught the essence of the original show that it was based on, unlike this one) disguised as Batman the 90's Animated Series, all the way down to the onomatopoeias. Batman has Vitamin B on his utility belt...Yes, Vitamin B, and Batman even uses the phrase: "God Help Us"...I don't think that Batman has ever mention God in the almighty kinda way.
The Animation: Where to start? LAZY animation, no respect for perspective, dimensions, colors, cutscenes, is like each animator was doing his own thing...and then they just force paste it together. There are dozens of animation errors in the first 10 minutes of the movie.
The Voice Cast: For the few people that doesn't know it, Harley Quinn was created exclusively for Batman the Animated Series, she didn't exist in Batman Comics. Harley Quinn Character was created around Arleen Sorkin...now, for some God knows reason, they go ahead and cast Melissa Rauch, GREAT for her character in The Big Bang Theory...but i couldn't attach her voice with the Harley Quinn character, MAIN character of this movie...and you didn't get the one thing that made the character great..."good Job" Warner Bros.
Kevin Conroy does as always a great voice acting...but the inconsistency of the Batman Character on this film's script..doesn't helps.
If You're a fan of the DC animated movies...you must have noticed the terrible job they have been doing since Batman: The Killing Joke, I have no idea what is their plan...is just getting worse and worse...next in the line is the upcoming movie of "Gotham by Gaslight", after what i've seen i won't keep my hopes up.
If You, like me, have a special place in your heart, like me, for Batman the Animated Series from the 90's Do yourself a favor and don't watch whatever this movie is supposed to be.
Warner Bros. Get your things together or stop doing DC animated movies..and if you're going to continue this way..."God Help Us".
