A very good adult comedy. I think it works so well as you have good actors in the smaller roles who don't normally do comedy. Kevin Spacey and Jamie Foxx are both great and good to see more of Jennifer Aniston doing something different to the nice girl next door Rom-com's. Good chemistry between the 3 lead charaters as well. It's very funny!

When a superhero decides to get a new sidekick, his pets want in on the act. And that's not quite as bad an idea as it sounds.

This graphic novel is fun, and middle school students will enjoy it. Heck, I enjoyed it, and I'm an adult.

I actually really enjoyed the first book in this series. It’s got decent world building and character development. It suffers a bit from the trend to make absolutely every young adult sci-fi/fantasy novel into a series, which means you’ll be left hanging a bit at the end. Gotta keep you coming back for more.

Overall, the first book gave me high hopes for the series.

Classic
I watched this when I was a young teen and was completely captivated by it. The imagery, pageantry... the entire simplicity of it all made this a must watch. Now in my adult years I still can't get enough of this classic that caused an uproar back in the day. Even my children that range in age 16 to 28 have seen this with me.

Aimed at a young adult audience, this had a little of the feel of the His Dark Materials trilogy. I found it an easy read, and read it in under one day. I was underwhelemed on the whole - I thought the ending was unsatisfying and anti-climactic and most of the characters 2-dimentional and under-developed. Some of it seems pointless and some of it unexplained.
