I watched Nimona on the weekend, it kind of took over my life briefly. It was a blue sky project that spent several years in development before being sold on when the studio closed, bought up by netflix, set to release during the pandemic, then delayed. Let’s say my expectations were low but a depth chage came along and blew them sky high.

I don’t think I’ve laughed as much in just under 2 hours in a very long time. Nimona herself was an absolute cherry bomb and I liked her character from minute zero. This only improved as the movie went on.

Ballister was voiced Riz Ahmed and let me say he killed it! He nailed every emotional bit, he was sincere and funny and sometimes sarcastic. Lots of spice in his character!

Ambrosious was well developed and very well voice acted. I liked his character more than I expected to honestly and although we don’t get a huge amount of him on screen, his presence made up for that.

As for supporting cast, Todd was fine. Maybe a little overstated but I never hated him more than a hateable character should be! The director was very imposing and stole every scene she was in.

Over all, I really enjoyed it. It was a super fun romp and there’s a little bit of something for almost anyone!

      The button doesn’t seem to be available in Kbin. What’s the markup code for it? I’ll just do it manually.
