For the return of Rob Zombie, it is on the Netflix platform that it happens. He tries to pay tribute to an old soap opera but does not at any time make you want to discover it.

The Munsters – "From three hundred years old, nothing works and I say nothing anymore"

Even if I understand the proposal exposed by Rob Zombie with this direction and these cheap transitions, the eccentricity poorly dosed, the uninteresting scenario, its heavy valves and its characters who are just as comic should be eminently comic but it turns out only pathetic. When Jeff Daniel Phillips and Sheri Moon Zombie sing I got you babe, we hit rock bottom with the idiocy released. The director is visibly uncomfortable with the role of comedy director while that of horror suits him so well. We understand why Universal sold the film. What is less understood is how Netflix was able to buy that.

Valiant Hearts – "You've been old since you were born"

I understand the project which is to make a war film through the eyes of children but the sauce unfortunately never takes. Lightness takes too much precedence over the more appropriate seriousness for a subject that is still sensitive, namely hidden Jewish children. Valiant Hearts is bitterly devoid of the sense of affliction and inconsistent; We neglect the anxiety-provoking framework in favor of a frivolous joy.

Buzz Lightyear – "We're not asking you to save us, we're asking you to join us"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q41VoF95fmI Buzz Lightyear explains the original derailment of this one in Toy story. The film fulfills the specifications: a villain to face, a team of second knives not fundamentally talented, a sullen twist because not properly exploited, the irresistible little animal too minouche and, finally, a super smooth hero whose solemnity could suit the shift there was for a toy but here, it's very pompous. In addition, the scenario is a little vain with this uninterrupted flow of robots that we know will not cause any harm to the protagonists. A Pixar with less inventiveness than its predecessor Red Alert.
