Just some minutes ago I finished watching Nimona, the new movie on Netflix, and OMG was it GOOD! I haven't watched new animated movies (except for ATSV) in a while, this was such a good surprise! I love animated movies/series, so I was expecting something like this, and so more it was based on a comic! That's so cool, it got me wondering how many possibilities have comic authors in having their creations move to a big screen, I want to check it out now, I've never heard of it before!
I always have a hard time focusing at the beggining of movies, I end up missing some crucial stuff, but here goes my mini-review. I got some spoilers before watching it, but it didn't ruin most of my experience.
Bal as the main character was really something! I first thought it was mainly about Nimona (that, it is), but watching everything from his perspective was very nice, and he got so much personality, it's the kind of protagonist you get for a well written one, something like that, I don't know how to phrase it, it's just not so common seeing characters with his physics to have that kind of gentle personallity, I loved it! And the cultural weight of everything in this world, I'm sure that that it's better explored in the comics.
Nimona's introduction was simply so fantastic! It was filled with personality and her design was so pleasing, her teeth! Also, I got something with the animation in the eyes, being so big and full with life, specially Nimona's. I decided to watch it in english so I could capture the feelings more, and because the spanish dub, for some reason, changed some names (not a big fan). Nimona's animation and shape-shifting was something I was so curious about, I always am about shape-shifting on video media, everyone has their own interpretation on how they will show the shape-shifting itself, it's such a thing, you can be so creative about it! It wasn't a big deal here, I guess, I was expecting a little bit more, but I'm so happy, she got to change to so many things, even other humans! I got so happy.
One thing that I didn't spoil was the main villain, I was so impressed with that too, I always like being surprised this way. And how we got to learn Nimona's past in her most vurnerable moment, I got so sad.
Also the conflict with Ballister and Ambrosius, the trust and the power of each one, colliding with one another, how their positions made everything so hard to undertand. I kind of wanted more political talk, in a "fantasy" way, if that makes sense, I feel rushed, but they did their best I know, sorry. The wall reminded me a lot of No.6 but without the social classes, I really wonder what was about the walls and the exterior, because the only "monster" we got to see was Nimona, was there any more like her outside? Where did she came from? That's why I wanted to check the comic out, but I'm not sure if this was like a full wrap up of everything lol BUT, NONETHELESS IT WAS SO FUN TO WATCH!
10/10 OVERALL <3
