Toy Story 4 - yea or nay?
I am a die hard Toy Story fan since I loved the first 3 installment from the bottom of my heart. Last week I purchased the Toy Story Marathon ticket to see all 4 movies on Toy Story 4 opening night.
It was still amazing and heartwarming to watch through the first 3 movies, but man I left the theater with a bitter taste in my mouth after watching Toy Story 4. This is what I rated for the entire franchise: Toy Story 1 Toy Story 2 Toy Story 3 Toy Story 4 As you can see, the latest episode is clearly not on par with the previous in my opinion. Here are the reasons why I didn't enjoy Toy Story 4: 1) The characters lack of consistency from the first 3 movies, especially Woody Buzz & Bo Peep. 2) The plot is a bit messy and all over the place, the reason I enjoy the first 3 movies is because simplicity is truly the beauty. 3) None of the newly introduced characters are really like-able or make me care about them a lot. Ducky and Bunny are funny but annoying. The villain is too creepy and I don't like how the villain is the one who receives empathy at the end. Also I forgot to mention that all the beloved old folks don't even have enough screen time because of those new characters. 4) The ending is just not satisfying. I did not have the same emotion compared to the other 3 movies, I left the theater confused and didn't know what direction this series was moving towards in the future. Overall, I am very very disappointed in Toy Story 4. I am not saying it is a terrible movie. But to me this new episode does not meet the same standard from the previous. I see a lot of people still giving high praise and I would love to hear different opinions. |

I don't know. I loved Gabi Gabi. Though I do see your point. It was weird that she was trying to steal woody's voice box, a good toy wouldn't do that

Also, I figure that the rest of the main toy group gets a pass because Bo has to make up for not being in 3 at all. Better than having them figure into the plot "just because".

In my review of 3, I stated that if there was never to be a Toy Story 4, I would be OK with that. When I wrote that, I had no idea that they were actually going to do a Toy Story 4.

And do you mind that they have made a fourth? |
Can't really say until I've seen it I guess.

The Critic (cartoon character) had a good rule to follow for watching movies: never watch something with a number bigger than 2 after the title.

Yeah, I thought Toy Story 3 was great and a great way to wrap up the series. I haven't seen the new one. There are a number of bad third movies in series but there's also Star Trek IV and VI.

It's been way to long since I watched Toy Story 2. I'd revisit Toy Story the side toys didn't have much to do in that one as well and the animation was really bad. Visually the film is on another level, and I did enjoy the story and some of the humor. I enjoyed that they gave us a female villain I was less enthused with all the female characters. |
