WOODY "A TOY STORY"

Rating: 6/10 (21 June 2019)

This is a story of woody,forky and Bo peep more than another toy story movie. All the central characters of the last 3 films ie Buzz, jessie, ham, potato head, rex are all limited to 3 or 4 lines max in this movie and basically play no role at all. I wondered how they would treat potato head especially as Don Rickles had passed away and to be honest after seeing Toy Story 4 i wished they just left it alone. It hasnt got that TS magic of old. Just feels thrown together and rushed and i dont understand that as this is not a movie we asked for as #3 was a fitting send off so why bother make it. I loved Forky and Duke Caboom and also Bunny & Ducky but they'll never hold a candle to the old gang. I got a sinking feeling about the old characters in the trailers and it was massively confirmed in the film as they basically sit in a van offering no help or insight. This is just a Woody film and to me should of been promoted that way and not as TS4. Buzz who is as central a TS character as woody is an empty shell here. That to me is very sad and disrespectful to the other movies we all fell in love with.
Ive seen other reviews on imdb and i totally respect your right to your opinion but if your really committed emotionally to this franchise please dont talk rubbish because of the glory days,base every TS movie on its own merits and be honest when you know in your heart something doesnt feel right in this last installment. The fact this movie needed 8 writers is an absolute red flag and should tell you the truth.
