The music (2 more)
The cast are fab
The dances
Love it
Where do I start.
There are no surprises to why this blew up and was so popular.
The cast are fantastic and play each role beautifully. You feel each character and feel every emotion they portray.
The music and chorography were so great, creating such a scene perfect for stage and screen. They complimented each other perfectly.
I can watch this movie over and over and I know for sure my mood will be lifted after.
I do believe the music and showmanship of the film make the film. By this I mean that if it was just a standard movie without the musical element it would have flopped.

Average Island
Well I don't really know anything about the old TV series apart from the actors. There are a few little nods to it but this is very different. The location looks nice and the start of the various fantasies coming to life is fun to see. Once things turn more sinister though the film becomes quite slow and rather dull than amazing. A few twists as to what is really going on with the island, but by then you really won't care about the characters that much. A shame as there was a lot of potential here to be creative but it ends in typical, predictable fashion. I had low expectations and they were met.

King Of The Jungle
Tarzan- I love this movie, this is one of my favorite animation films of all time. Its a classic.
The plot: In this Disney animated tale, the orphaned Tarzan (Tony Goldwyn) grows up in the remote African wilderness, raised by the gentle gorilla Kala (Glenn Close). When a British expedition enters the jungle, Tarzan encounters the beautiful Jane (Minnie Driver) and recognizes that, like her, he's human. Falling in love with Jane, Tarzan is torn between embracing civilization and staying with his gorilla family, which becomes threatened by the ruthless hunter Clayton (Brian Blessed).
Its a excellent and fantastic movie made by Disney before the 2000's. When the 2000's hit went on a downhill slop. But ill get to those movies.

Almost perfect
Contains spoilers, click to show
Based on the world wide videogame franchise phenomenon, Hitman follows a highly trained silent assassin, known only as Agent 47, who after learning of a plot against him possibly stemming from his organizations HQ, he is quickly thrown into a game of cat and mouse with interpol agent's quickly closing in on him.
Timothy Olyphant stars as Agent 47 in this barrel blazing, hardcore action/thriller story of violent retribution.
Fantastic stunt action, edge of your seat combat sequences & superb special effects.
Actually considered the worst of the two (unless you've actually seen both, then ya know better) this is one of the closest I've seen to a perfect videogame movie adaptation.

Each chapter is from one of the 3 main characters POV. (1 more)
Has a nice flow to each chapter.
Fantastic Book
What an amazing book. Each chapter is written from one of the 3 main characters point of view so it really allows you to see into the mind set of each of them and how they perceive the events happening around them.
The chapters are quite consice making it all too easy to say "just one more" right the way through to the end.
It was nothing like I expected but so much more. Its quite dark and has a sinister feel throughout the book even ending with an "oh my god, what the f*ck" feeling.
I would highly recommend giving this book a read.

Varied and fun content
Meta fest
I played this when it was first released which was a good year after the base game. I think gave it and extra edge considerabley. It meant you were approaching it with a different view on the content and universe.
Having recently played it during a replay of ME3 it doesn't have the same effect. It ends up a little jarring with its overly comedic moments in juxtaposition to the tone of the base.
It's still a fantastic DLC though with some great nostalgic moments and decent content. I just think it should be played after completion of the base game, maybe after having some time to digest like the original release.

A fantastic re-imagining
A return to a zombie infested Racoon city, following characters Leon Kennedy, a rookie cop who's first day on the force turns into a literal Nightmare & Claire Redfield who's seeking her older brother Chris (more on him later).
After a Virus is unleashed, Racoon city becomes a dark, monster filled, blood soaked Nightmarish place, where Leon & Claire must survive in order to uncover an evil conspiracy & save the City from an undead Extinction.
Great in game mechanics and nice character redesigns recreated in a dark toned game has pumped new life into a struggling franchise with more to come.
New voice work has been well received and it's not hard to see why.
