Zenless Popcorn (7 KP) rated The First Purge (2018) in Movies
Jul 11, 2018
Uncomfortable viewing, but supposed to be. (1 more)
Interesting twist near the end
Thin storyline (2 more)
Flat characters
Pointless jump scares
The series needs to be Purged.
This movie has to be the weakest in the franchise.
There's barely any story, the characters are overly stereotypical and it feels like the transitions from one area are spoon fed via viewings from the control centre.
The trailer is misleading I feel and nothing like the movie.
The movie is uncomfortable viewing beincuse of its highly political and racially charged content, but that is kind of the point....and the twist at the end made me question a few things in the other movies.

Cranky Dad UK (11 KP) rated The Incredibles 2 (2018) in Movies
Jul 17, 2018 (Updated Jul 17, 2018)
Incredibly good fun.
Incredibles 2 is a fast paced, funny and visually jaw dropping experience.
The story carries on immediately after the first one finishes and deals with the struggle of parenthood, in an intelligent and relatable way.
All the laughs and stunning action sequences are there as hoped for and boy do the set pieces look amazing.
It's a shame we have had to wait so long for this sequel but when you watch it, it feels like the super family have never been away.
A superbly entertaining sequel.

Clarence
Malcolm’s Sass
Loads of fun but not a must-read
Jurassic Park was pleasantly well written, and I really enjoyed learning all these little details not in the movies, such as Clarence. The chaos theory stuff was great but that feels stale and mundane after too many years featuring Trump.
Malcom was fun and sometimes Hammond was too but honestly the other characters are pretty forgettable.
Read it if you love dinosaurs like I do, it’s fun, but if you aren’t dinosaur obsessed you’ll be bored. I liked it a lot but it doesn’t make my “omg everyone needs to read this” level of recommendation. :P

Dean (6927 KP) rated The Equalizer 2 (2018) in Movies

Sentimental action
I really enjoyed the first equalizer film, which was in the typical action film mould. I guessed this would be more of the same. The storyline is a bit different this time and doesn't follow on directly from the first. This feels more personal and sentimental this time round. There is just as much dialogue as there is action. It makes the film a bit more realistic, but at times the pacing is off. It has a pretty good finale but maybe could have done with a bit more action overall. Still an enjoyable film, just a bit different from most action films.

Feels like a throw back to 90's action films
Bloody good
You have to have an open mind for this type of film. The first was a classic and the series along with Avp has gone down hill mainly since. Although @Predators (2010) was OK.
This has a vibe more in keeping with the original. Gory kills, the humour and camaraderie of the soldiers. Along with the finale. The action overall is pretty good. The only downside is the rather silly storyline at times and the Predator dog. A film to enjoy rather than take too seriously.

Andy K (10823 KP) rated Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! in Video Games

Very much fun and retro at the same time!
I remember watching my son play Pokemon Colosseum or Pokemon XD for Gamecube back when he was young and this game feels a lot like that.
The story mode is entertaining so far, the map pretty expansive and the characters you meet are entertaining. Let's face it though, it's all about the battles!
It is fun with the old style of turn-based RPG as you are used to with other Pokemon games.
I am probably not very far yet, but it takes a lot to keep my attention and this one has so far!

Sweet
Unique ending
Hits you right in the feels
So many people have seen this and I'm sure theres lots of different views on this so don't judge me. I'm not a girly girl by any means but wow this film makes me cry EVERY. BLUMMIN. TIME. Some bits you can see coming but the ending is something that I still hope will change (LOL). Sam Claflin and Amelia Clarke are just such amazing Actors i cannot imagine anyone else being about to play the characters as perfectly as they do.
A good tear jerker, it's so sweet, you can forgive the crying.

Small but perfectly formed
This film feels like it's on a slightly smaller scale than the recent MCU entries which is pretty apt given its hero. Its skirts around the bigger stories and characters of the other films but 100% delivers in it's own right. It's an origin story like most you've seen before but with that magic marvel touch that gives you the right amount of excitement, emotion and a new style of comedy for the MCU.
Yellow jacket may not be the most menacing villain you meet but he doesn't have to be. You couldn't put a rookie Ant Man up against Thanos and expect a happy ending.

Gooey Christmas Romance!
I really needed this style of book to kick my reading slump and man oh man! Did this book satisfy every need!!
I originally picked up Merry Inkmas for a buddy read, where I was only supposed to read four chapters a day. I ended up not being able to put down this steamy romance! I blew through it within a days time. And must I say, this was one heck of a read.

Eilidh G Clark (177 KP) rated Elizabeth is Missing in Books

Lovely wee story
The novel is told from the perspective of Maude, a lady in her 80's with dementia. The reader experiences the frustration that the protagonist feels because of her poor short term memory, yet there is this brilliant back story. Yes, Elizabeth is missing, but so is Sukie, Maude's big sister who disappeared when they were both young. Switching between the present and the past enhances the story, showing how certain triggers can support long term memory in dementia patients. Lovely wee story. Brilliant gripping beginning, a bit slow in the middle and great ending. Worth a read.
