Brilliant SFX
Live action GTA
A real blast of a film with so much going on. I saw a trailer a long way back and thought it could be fun, but didn't expect such a blockbuster film.
It's a real mix of Ready Player One meets the The Truman Show. A non playable Character in a game suddenly becomes alive and decides to make his own decisions after encountering a player in the game.
The film is funny and will be especially fun for those who do play video games. Feeling like a real life version of a GTA game. The SFX to recreate so much crazy video game action in real life is great.
Definitely an enjoyable film worth seeing at the cinema and one I can imagine watching multiple times in future.

Watched today first superhero movie of the year as a fan of the first two antman with the second one being my favourite of the two okay on the film I liked the film not as much as the second the visuals are good some decent set pieces could have done with more bill Murray which was a shame but for me the standout in the movie who steals the movie from Paul rudd is Jonathan majors as kang the conqueror who been plaguing the avengers for 60 years in the comics in one way or another and now hes part of mcu and gonna cause more trouble in future movies and next will be seen in creed 3 which should be interesting overall best superhero movie of yhe year so far

I'm never really sure what to make of Angus Donald's 'Fire born' series.

Of which this is the fourth.

Personally, I think I've always preferred his Outlaw Chronicles, followed by the Holcroft Blood trilogy, with these Viking-era bringing up the rear.

Having said that, it is what it is.

In this particular entry, Bjarki and his sister Tor end up involved in the little-known (and semi-legendary) Battle of Bravellir, initially on opposite sides of the Shield Wall.

I have to say, it's a battle that I have never heard of before ...

Anyway, the result is an OK read, but (as previously stated, and for my money) the characters and history are just not as interesting as those in the Outlaw Chronicles or in the Holcroft Blood series.

I'll still probably read any future entries, though.
