Characters inconsistent
Many avenues unexplored
Overall disappointed
Overall, a fantastic beginning, a poor middle and an awful ending.

The book started with good premise, and there's so many ways the story could've been developed. Instead, even the twists made you roll your eyes. It was both predictable and cliche, and very unrealistic

Great series
So many amazing characters and the nostalgia is real.
The soundtrack is astounding and the setting is fantastic
Totally hopes it gets people into DND and all things Stephen King and nerdy
The only problems I had was the repetition with 11 and her powers but also it had a bit of a lull half way through.

Album Rating
Rolling Stone's 255th greatest album of all time
Simply a superb album. The likes of The Unforgiven and Nothing Else Matters can be enjoyed by anyone. The rest of the album is generally a lot heavier and may take different tastes. Wherever I May Roam, Sad But True and Enter Sandman are simply fantastic metal songs.

Wow. That's all I can say. I had never seen this movie before. This was fantastic. It's absolutely brilliant. The writing of this film was superb and the casting of this film was great. Not to mention that the characters had very believable chemistry with each other on-screen. Loved this film and will definitely watch it again!

Dark twist on a classic story
Fantastic take on a classic novel
Just read it! seriously!

I had this book bought for me by my SO because he knows I love Alice in Wonderland, so I wasn't really sure what to expect from this book. I definitely wasn't expecting to love it, but I did, I honestly couldn't put it down.

I love books with a bit of a dark twist, especially classic lit like Poe. If you love the classics and dark literature then this book is for you. Henry takes all the characters you love from Wonderland and makes them new and sinister. It's a fantastic take on a classic novel and I cannot recommend it enough.

I recommend book 2 in the chronicles too!

I definitely recommend it, she's wrote a second book for this too" red Queen, and also a retelling of Peter Pan (Lost Boy), which I thought was even better than Alice! So I definitely recommend reading both of those too, especially Lost Boy if you haven't already :)

So, i haven't read the book this is based off of, but I did just start it yesterday. I've also seen this movie twice now (thanks moviepass).
I really liked the film, it was heavy on the nostalgia, which I didn't mind at all. I don't think another director could have directed this film, Spielberg's direction was fantastic.
The cast was my fantastic, I completely didn't realize Halliday was Mark Rylance from Dunkirk. I'm also glad Simon Pegg ended up in the movie, because you can't really have this nerdy of a movie without him.
Side note: I didn't know why Drafthouse was promoting so much for this movie until I read that the author lives here in Austin.
My opinion may change after I read the book, but for now, it's a 9.
