Toy Story A Hollywood Endgame

Rating: 7/10 (14 July 2019)

The fourth and we are told concluding segment of the Toy Story franchise, looks amazing but in truth never comes close to equalling let alone bettering any of its predecessors. Somehow the dazzling brilliance of real excitement and dazzling action with rib bending humour simply is not present. The movie simply limps along, never quite boring you but just never quite meeting your heightened expectations. As 2019 follows 2018 big Hollywood is failing it's audiences as one so so remake - sequel - prequel - franchise instalment - reboot - spin off after the other dulls the senses with dearie barely adequate increasingly boring story telling. Hollywood must learn and quickly that making the same film over and over is not the option to keep cinema relevant in the age streaming. We the audience are crying out for some originality, simply blasting the screen with more and more computer generated effects is simply lazy. So as we wait for Toy Story five, let us all hope somewhere out there a new Steven Spielberg or Alfred Hitchcock is waiting in the future to shock, astonish, and entertain us at the cinema.
