Kim Possible (2019)

If there's one thing that "Disney Channel" can do, is bring nostalgia to its once loyal viewers. The prime of the channel was, in my opinion, when show like "That's So Raven" & "Suite Life" were smash hits. Other shows like "Kim Possible", for example, was one of the few animated shows on the channel during that prime. With over 15 years since the show first aired, a new revamped take on the show in a made for TV movie is an utter disappointment for fans of the beloved show.

The fact of the matter is, this film just plain sucks. It has some promise to be a good movie, but fails miserably. The writing is cringe-worthy, it's cliche and not quality driven.

Don't even get me started on the acting. Granted that this film is made for TV and the target audience is kids, it's still not even remotely entertaining. Directors Adam Stein and Zach Lipovsky try and make an entertaining film to bring back fans of the hit show for nostalgic reasons but it fails to impress.

The only good thing about this film are the action sequences. For a film made for TV, this film has pretty good action and special effects but it's not enough to satisfy.

Over 15 years have past since the iconic show debuted. And needless to say, this film disappoints on so many levels. This film is nowhere near as good as the animated films it made while the show was still on air. So, if you're looking for a trip of Disney nostalgia, look elsewhere.
