easy to enjoy more than once

one of my most important points in reviewing movies is if I'd watch over and over again. is it a movie that you'd even enjoy if you watched it a second time? this movie definitely is. it's got good jokes running through it and the love interest feels real.

Tron: Betrayal

Book Rating
A very enjoyable ride that spans the gap between Tron and Tron: Legacy, showcasing the origins of the grid, and Flynn's growing problems dedicating himself to the three worlds he finds himself in: the Grid, running Encom, and parenthood. Great art and storytelling, and while we know the inevitable conclusion it moves toward, most importantly, it FEELS like Tron.

Characterization and Symbolism of Yeong-hye (1 more)
Double meaning behind the title and word "vegetarian."
The P.O.V. switches from first-person to third-person, which feels inconsistent when pieced together as a whole novel. (*Note: Originally, the different perspectives in the book were written separately before being joined together as a novel.) (0 more)

It's a great book, the author has such a creative mind! Have you read her other books? Latest one is Human Acts. It's very different.

I have Human Acts on my desk at work. I've been a little busy lately, but I hope to pick it up and read it soon. (:

Gripping and the pace of the movie is about right (2 more)
The bleak and gritty post-apocalyptic atmosphere
Easily-digestible
At 80 minutes, and with an abrupt ending it feels like it could have delved further (3 more)
The 'invaders' acted completely unrealistically during the 'siege'
Character inconsistencies throughout
Way too linear and simplistic
Simplistic premise, reasonably well delivered

“Dear White People” always feels like a personal story first and intelligent satire second. Between the movie and the first two episodes, I’ve spent three hours at Winchester. And I only want more.

Enjoyable, wonderfully gruesome
The contrast between the main protagonists McGrey and Frey is as curious as Holmes and Watson. One a stuffy Scotland Yard detective another a superstitious, grimy local senior police officer. Using music was a brilliant idea to tie the maccabre altogether. While it definitely feels like part of a series, it's still a good start.

Lackluster final act (0 more)
The game gets so many things right, from the player’s relationship with Captain Rhodes to the interactivity with the environment, that I’m willing to overlook its disappointing finale.

like the book, it challenges important issues within medical philosophy and the morals behind research, as well as perceptions of what constitutes humanity
having read the book, the plot of the film in comparison feels fairly lacking and rushed (although this may purely be due to the length of the book/ differing memories of the book) (0 more)
