Good soundtrack
Stranger Things meets Slasher
Part one of this Horror trilogy on Netflix doesn't disappoint. Seems like it's been a good while since we had a decent modern slasher film. This feels like a 90's horror, and does well to set the scene for '94. It starts with a great pre title scene similar to films like Scream. The killer outfits look good, another very Scream like. The film slows in pace a little towards the end but overall it's very enjoyable. A long with a decent 90's soundtrack to top it off. Roll on part 2 next week.

I was left feeling disappointed after seeing this film. The first one was such a feel good comedy with a great storyline and this film just didn’t measure up.
It still had a fantastic cast and great songs so I think it was the storyline that was lacking for me. A lot of the film was telling Donna’s story of how she met Sam, Bill and Harry, this was nice but I didn’t feel it added anything new to the story. The present was Sophie trying to get the hotel ready for its grand opening. To be honest not much happened in this part of the story.
Overall the film was okay I just didn’t feel there was enough of a storyline.

Was this even in the theatre??
Not a bad action movie with lots of killing but I wish there had been some plot development with the fantasy characters. There was so much potential for a great story with elves and ogres and magic all coexisting with humans. But instead I feel like this movie was just a compilation of all the action scenes from a good movie and they used the thinnest plot line to string them together.

Modern version isn't embarrassing (4 more)
Keeps the heart of the Samurai film alive
Lovely depiction of a samurai village
Tom Cruise is quite good
Epic Scope versus a small feel.
A great modern samurai film
I didn't expect a samurai film with Tom Cruise to be any good, but this one is great. Solid casting, great story, and even great action. But with beautiful moments of quiet. Which really is the samurai way. I love the depiction of the village, with everyone perfecting their respective crafts.

Thrilling interesting and twisty
I really loved this series and while I sometimes flinched away at the use of sexual violence it portrayed it did so with a purpose rather then to revel in the responses.
As a single mother I could relate to the struggles of motherhood when even when you try your best you never feel good enough.

Good Luck based gateway game...
Here is some decisions to make, but everything depends on the dice. Roll well, win the game, roll poorly = lose.... unfortunately there is very little dice manipulation to change your luck if you don't like it. This game is super simple, and probably good for kids who want to feel a little more adult building a city. But this game could use a number of improvements before being a satisfying game for more gamers.

Not lived up to the hype
Although it was a good idea, and a lot of fans were very excited about this game, I feel they added too much to the game, and over complicated it... if some of the features had been added in updates it would’ve allowed players to familiarise themselves with the mechanics of the game at a steadier pace, but despite this it is nice to have a new Harry Potter themed piece of media to enjoy

It's gritty, gives you such an insight of late 19th century East End.
Shows true emotions, the turmoil women and men have in those times. ***

Intense thriller!
Good quality film.
This main character in this movie couldn't have been any better, brilliant actress playing the role of an innocent women being tormented by her obsessive ex.
A good few jumpy parts, the amount of times I said something so loud forgetting I was in the cinema was just embarrassing, so many scenes I didn't expect to happen the way they did, some of my friends weren't overly impressed but I thought every character really built the feel for this film.
Highly recommended.
