EARLY ACCESS: Puss in Boots 2 The Last Wish FULL REACTION (Patreon)

We could never have anticipated that a sequel to a Shrek spinoff from 11 years ago would turn out to be one of the most impressive animated films I've seen in years. Yet, here we are with Puss in Boots: The Last Wish—a delightful surprise in every aspect, offering an exhilarating new adventure featuring everyone's beloved sword-wielding feline!

The landscape of animated films has transformed significantly over the past decade, and naturally, this film boasts a substantial visual upgrade from its predecessor. Rather than opting for the expected route of heightened detail and crispness, the film embraces a stylistic approach that proves to be incredibly successful. Every frame bursts with vibrancy, resembling paintings poised to leap off the screen. The film's decision to alter the frame rate during thrilling action sequences not only showcases creativity but also results in a visually stunning spectacle.

Despite more than a decade passing since Antonio Banderas last portrayed Puss, he effortlessly slips back into the boots as if no time has passed. This role remains one of his most iconic, and his voice performance serves as a powerful reminder of why. Great to have Salma Hayek back! Florence Pugh is a fantastic addition to this cast and John Mulaney is as well. Wagner Moura takes it to another level, breathing life into one of Dreamworks most genuinely terrifying villains with an exceptional performance. Those blood-colored, glowing eyes and that spine-chilling whistle are nothing short of nightmare-inducing. That character had an immediate impact! Which can be hard to pull off in any medium. 

The film skillfully explores heavy themes such as coming to terms with mortality and appreciating the life one has been given. Presented in a manner accessible to children yet rich with depth for adults, the movie's lessons may be somewhat predictable but consistently land with sincerity, making them impactful and meaningful.

In summary, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is a sequel we never knew we desired. If this level of quality and creativity is still within the franchise's grasp, count us in for a third film or at least a green light on Shrek 5 :)
