Stephanie Neve (104 KP) rated Fantastic Beasts: Crimes of Grindelwald (2018) in Movies

Kind of a Buffer but with hints of what's to come
I actually quite liked this film as it filtered more into the wizarding world I know and love from the HP films. We see Hogwarts and we get more of Newts back story...
However not a whole lot happened. I believe that they intend to make 5 films in the story arc and this one felt like somewhat of a buffer... Its set itself up for an exciting next installment though!

<strong>A worthwhile chore</strong>
I must admit, this was a chore to get through. But it came together in the end. I struggle something with Week's prose. There are some habits of his that just erk me somewhat. I also haven't read many series bigger than a trilogy, so the overall arc is feeling perhaps a little steep for me at the moment. I'm sure it's as much me as it is the book. Saying all this I never felt like DNFing it, and definitely moving onto book 3 imminently.

3.5 stars.
Still not my favourite series going but it's a quick and easy read with an interesting story arc running through the series with added little plotlines in each story such as who's going to be a reaper, Gwen searching for missing/stolen items and such.
The progression of Gwen and Logan's relationship (finally!) in this one had me smiling and wanting to cheer along with their friends at the end. It's about time guys!
I will be continuing the series at some point in the future but not yet.

David McK (3600 KP) rated Daredevil by Brian Michael Bendis & Alex Maleev: Ultimate Collection, Book 1 in Books
Jan 30, 2019
So: Daredevil.
AKA MAtt Murdock: Blind Lawyer by day, Vigilante by night.
And a character that, unlike (say) your Superman or Spiderman or Batman's, only really came to my attention with the (so-so) 2003 movie of the same name, and the more recent (and better) Marvel Netflix series'.
I'd also never read any of the comics/graphic novels before, although I knew that the TV series, in particular, drew heavily from that source, but had heard good things about them. With all that said, I thought I would take a risk on this particular collection (purchased, and read, via Comixology on my iPad) to see what all the fuss was about.
And, at first, I wasn't overwhelmed - I found the first story arc just so-so, and couldn't really get to grips with the art-style.
However, things picked up (for me) once the collection went back to a more conventional art style, with the whole story arc around the attempted coup against the Kingpin, followed by his estranged wife's revenge, then by the outing of Murdock's secret identity (wow!) and the trial of the Costumed Superhero (not him) that follows a succession of whammies (for want of a better word) one after the other ...
More, please!
