Ross (3284 KP) rated Captain Underpants (2017) in Movies
Oct 9, 2017
We were already somewhat aware of Captain Underpants before we saw the movie - I bought my eldest the boxset of books which are admittedly still in their shrinkwrap.
The film is obviously aimed at children, probably aged 3 to 7. The potty humour got a bit stale for my 9 year old, but the 3 and 6 year olds were still amused throughout. I normally expect a few more clever jokes for the parents from a film like this, but was sadly disappointed that there weren't any. The humour really is restricted to a man in his pants and the name Professor Poopypants. There really isn't much more to it than that.
I liked the idea of the storyline, but would have liked more levels of humour.
I think we were all a bit bored of it by the end.

As the book title suggest the worst thing that could happen on a ship did when it caught on fire. The early 1900's were still a time of corruption and profit over safety. This helped lead to the deaths of over 1,000 people.
The story in this book is a timely warning to us as safety laws are rolled back for profits. It was a well written and researched tale. We need to heed the warnings of our past so as not to repeat them with larger tragedies.

We are introduced to so many new characters, with such complex backgrounds and offer so much to the plot. ACOMAF is a huge step up from ACOTAR, there is so much character development and world building. There were some aspects of the book that weren't flushed out to my liking, but it was only minor details.
Definitely pick up this book if you've already read ACOTAR. I wasn't a huge fan of the series, but this book will make you fall in love with the world and all the characters!
