Feels like a typical 90's action film (2 more)
Cheesy but in a good way
Some great action scenes
Old school action film
I really enjoyed this, it felt like a Arnie action film from when he was at his peak. Slightly silly plot but I found it funny and enjoyable. If you want something that brings back the 90's action film vibe, then this is it.
Shaun Collins (3 KP) rated Doctor Who: The Eighth Doctor, Vol. 1: A Matter of Life and Death in Books
Jan 12, 2018
Individually the stories found in this volume are standard fare, good but not overly engaging. The arc they tell is also fine, just not outstanding. Which is a shame because the final segment is outstanding, but it comes as the capstone to a mostly alright endeavor. George Mann has a great grasp of the Eighth Doctor however, and it's worth reading for his "voice" if nothing else.

The singing/song mash ups
Cast chemistry
Hits the right notes
I found this surprisingly funny and enjoyed the sound track for the film. I'm not a big fan of Musicals and a lot of singing in films, but this still felt more like a Rom/com. You can tell the cast had a blast making this film. Give it a whirl.

Alright could have been better
While Wonder Women (2017) was an improvement upon the other DCEU films it still was found lacking in spots. The use of green screen was obvious in certain spots. The villain while built up to being the big bad god of war the reveal of being a pale British man made it a bit more humourish then what it should have been.

Hard time connecting with the adults,the children were far more interesting to me. I was expecting more intrigue, or maybe I missed it.I liked it, but I didn’t fully follow what was happening and found myself going back to read again

Wittsend (43 KP) rated The Mango Orchard: Travelling Back to the Secret Heart in Books
Aug 2, 2017
Although the book was easy to read, found it a bit unbelievable at times considering it is claiming to be a true story. I have to wonder if the author embellished the story a bit. Hard to believe that so many thing went wrong and then worked themselves out perfectly during his journey. The story was still nice and did find myself engaged throughout.
Erika (17789 KP) rated The Mummy (2017) in Movies

Around ten minutes into this movie, I found myself thinking, surely, they could have hired someone other than Tom Cruise for this character. The main character should been played by an actor who does the 'lovable douche' character well, i.e. Chris Pratt, Bradley Cooper, Ryan Reynolds, etc. It was fairly boring, they could have done so many things with this movie, but it was just meh.
Sarah (7800 KP) rated Allied (2016) in Movies
Aug 27, 2017
I wasnt the slightest bit surprised after watching this to find out it was a Robert Zemeckis film. It centres far too much on the romance side and is very lacking in tension, action or suspense. The acting is good but nothing special, and I just found the whole thing a little boring. Could be due to expecting a spy film rather a romantic WWII drama.
Suswatibasu (1703 KP) rated The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) in Movies

Great battle scenes, but certain characters let the film down
While The Two Towers feels a bit more darker than The Fellowship, there are elements which I found generally annoying such as Frodo's flailing character, the ridiculously boring Ents and Gollum in general. However the battle for Helm's Deep is well crafted and absolutely epic.
Phoenix (4 KP) rated The Count of Monte Cristo in Books

All time favorite
One of the best revenge stories ever written. I've read a lot of books, both modern and classics, but this one will always be my favorite.
One thing I thought would bother me are the Christian undertones throughout due to being an atheist, but though it was at times very religious, I never found it distracting even after having read it 6 times.
