Hello Cinephiles,
Today we’re talking about the 2022 film Secret Headquarters.
Story
A very simple and effecient story that uses everything that it sets up. It’s not groundbreaking writing but it is solid and well thought out.
Score: 1
Characters
An impressive young cast that balances comedy, action, and drama extremely well. I really enjoyed the evolution of the soldier. I liked the pseudo villain being a rich dude with too much greed. Although the Kill a Minion to show I’m a Jerk trope was a little overdone.
Score: 0.5
Dialogue
The movie leaned heavily into comedy and has a lot of great lines. The comedy was balanced well with beleivability.
Score: 1
Visuals and Music
The special effects were amazing and the locations suitibly YA. I found the camera work excellent and it emullated other hero movies excellently.
The music was significantly better than I had expected.
Score: 1
Fun
Despite a few awkward moments the movie is fun from start to finish. Everyone in the family loved it and the kids forgot to ask for snacks.
Score: 1
Overall
A light YA movie that meshes the humour of 80’s kids movies with the action and special effects of modern superhero films. A lot of fun with some amazing kid actors.
Final Score: 4.5 Stars out of 5
