I like the art work in this graphic novel, it is quirky and reminiscent of Sergio Aragones and other cartoonists from the late 70s and early 80s. The colours are vibrant, and this interpretation flows well, obviously it is shorter than the text novel, but I feel that they have done a good job.

I loved the first one sooo much! This one was good also but I feel like it wasn't as get up and dance like, which I loved out of the first. Again the cast was great but sad they killed off Meryls character and they didn't explain anything. But her back story was kinda cool :)

@Vegemite Girl I finally got around to watching it. It was much worse than I could have imagined. Such a shame that they joy and magic of the first one could not be matched. So disappointing.

And still, Donna's dead. Boohoo. I loved her. Without Streep, is a movie even worth watching?

Perfectly poised to be the runaway feel-good hit of the summer, and it is almost impossible not to be charmed by it. A sublime slice of pure escapism, this film is the toe-tapping embodiment of joy that we all need right now.

Family feel good entertainment
Classic Eddie Murphy - don't forget to play "spot the Eddie Murphy" character. Really enjoyed the context and the characters were brilliant. The music added a new layer to the comedy and was very current.

The story was obvious. Id recommend as an easy watching family fun film

"My guilty pleasure TV show — 'SNL,' starring me," Trump told People, following his second hosting appearance on the show, in 2015. "They got great ratings. The best ratings in years. It was a terrific success. I enjoyed doing it. It was 50 percent more than Hillary [Clinton]'s show. That makes me feel good.""

I enjoyed reading a superhero story rather than the traditional graphic novel format, and feel it was quite well delivered.
The narration is a little too fan-boy for my liking and at times is quite irritating.
The plot is great and action rolls along at a good pace, with mostly good characters introduced, though they all feel a little clichéd.
I did like the premise where those with superpowers are in charge and the world does their bidding. I would love to read a prequel book where the superheroes fought and divided the world up into fiefdoms for all the most powerful, though at the same time having little on the "origin story" works out quite well in this case.

Decent Horror
A slow burner but enjoyable creature, myth Horror. In a remote rundown town in Oregon a strange creature appears to be attacking local residents. It's very nicely shot and the locations add to the feel of the film. Quite a grim, run down, poor town that has long seen better days. Combined with large areas of remote woodland and mountains adding to the isolated feel. The main story takes the form of an old folk tale about a spirit taking the form of an animal and needing to feed.
The creature effects are good along with the gory makeup effects are both good. If you after a slow burner, errie horror that's a bit different to the norm check this out.

The idea
One of my favourite King stories
This is one of the best Stephen King stories I have read. It has an eerie, creepy feel to it, which keeps you hanging on till the end. Not everything is explained, but that's what makes a good short story, when they leave it up to your magination to fill in the gaps. All the Bachman Books are good, this one is the best; it is King at his best.

Typical feel good about yourself whatever your size, takes place in a Texas city and the main plot is about pageant queens. Actually quite good as it is not too slushy and all the songs featured are Dolly Parton songs which you cannot help but sing along too. Unexpected is a scene where the teenagers turn up to a bikers bar and it turns out to be drag queen bar who of course all sing along to Dolly Parton. Enjoyed watching it.

This is a very good film. I’m glad that I watched the film regardless of reviews I had read. I feel that it’s a very good storyline to portray as there are so many cases of trafficking in the world. It shows the double standards that exist how can police and people of authority be allowing this to be going on. Not going to spoil anything but would recommend watching
