New Film Review: SOUL

 

SOUL

Directed by Peter Doctor and Kemp Powers
Screenplay by Peter Doctor and Mike Jones


After landing a gig of a lifetime, Joe (Jamie Fox) falls down an open manhole he finds himself stuck in a strange land between earth and the afterlife.

Positives: 
The first 5 minutes.
Tina Fey as 22 is kinda funny.
Jamie Fox is really good doing voice work 
That is it...

Negatives:
This is just strange movie with many plot holes. 
I know its for kids so maybe we can ignore plot holes, however death is involved so is it for kids???!!
I even question why they needed the death part why not just follow Joe as he chases his dream, and then maybe learn that he is already living his dream. This is just odd, with odd characters.

PIXAR has a problem and you can connect it with the loss of John Lasseter . Onward and now this. There is no feeling anymore in these PIXAR films. Death is...funny? PIXAR is in trouble.

2 stars out of 5 for Soul. Its not even good animation it seems lazy.

From the shadows as always thanks for your time.
