Sad to see hugh jackman leave the character.
I thought the movie was well done. Action packed. Excited to see where they take the xmen in the future. Its nice to see returning actors such as Patrick Stewart and Hugh Jackman

This was an entertaining read. I enjoyed reading it. I will say that I found the writing fairly juvenile but overall enjoyable. The characters were lovable and I constantly cheered them on. I am glad that I didn't pay for this book. It was enjoyable but I will spend my money on different authors in the future.

Loved it
I thought this was an utterly fantastic movie. Watch it with the thought of this could be the near future!
I don't know what genre you would say it is, part comedy, part drama or is it tackling climate change?
Matt's character wallows a bit much but other than that it was a GREAT watch!

It's very long. (0 more)
A scientifically important series of novellas.
The author makes many predictions of future technology which so far have all come true. He predicted the internet, search engines, handheld smartphone devices, GPS, sentient AI, and many other elements of today's society that he couldn't possibly have known about when this book was written.

never happy to see a series end, however, I really felt like these two were left in a happy and good place. I really enjoy mindy's writing style and I look forward to reading some of her other books. Wish we got to know what Lucy or Lynn's future looked like more than we have already however.

Great characters
Hooked from the beginning
I thoroughly enjoyed this series. Although set in a future, one can see the headline issues of today wrapped up in a complicated film-noir private detective archetype. Something about hard-boiled crime and mystery supported by futuristic tech and commentary on the social elite really pulls me in.
  
Stephen Fry's straight re-telling of the various Greek Myths, in more-or-less chronological order (well, as much as they can be!), starting from the Titans and going right up to Midas, leaving (I assume) Jason and the Argonauts, or the siege of Troy for future instalments.

A bit like Neil Gaiman's Norse Mythology, in other words.

I really liked the first one so I was excited about the second one but I was boring. It felt like i was watching back to the future which was completely different to the first storyline.

"When I was growing up, The Sandlot, the Back to the Future trilogy, and any Jim Carrey movie were, like, my movies. Jim Carrey, actually, really was one of the first [actors] I loved. Because he would make me laugh. And I would always imitate him. That was kind of how I started [getting into acting]."

"The production and chords in this song are so incredible that it takes me to another place. It sounds like the future. It’s one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard, even thought I don’t think it’s intentionally beautiful. When I hear this song, it makes think of the color purple or a bright blue gatorade color"
