Iconic war film. (3 more)
Visually poetic, darkly humorous, uncompromisingly brutal!
It's very graphic, but enjoyable.
Never a dull moment in this movie.
Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket may not boast the most original of themes, but it is incredibly effective at communicating them.

Both fascinating and confusing in equal measure, Zack Snyder weaves a visually beautiful and sophisticated representation of the graphic novel. Ultimately too long and over ambitious with in my opinion Rorschach's story being the highlight. Not one I hurry to re watch.

Smile is a cute, relatable graphic novel about the author's experiences with her braces and growing up. I thought it was extremely good because I also had braces and a rough time in my teens. That is why I give this 5 stars.

The huge font size made this a quick read. To me, it read like a Mills & Boon/Harlequin book that had been boosted with some graphic sex. I liked it but I wasn't blown away by it, it was all a bit predictable.

Not for the faint hearted.
I love Martina Cole books, even though they are very violent and graphic in nature. You really feel for Marie Carter, as she hasn’t had a happy life and had no one to look after her through anything.

2021's Dune, the movie, ended with Paul Atreides and his mother Jessica falling in with a group of the desert-dwelling Fremen, which included a fight-to-the-death where Paul had to prove his worth to that group.

That forms an early part of this graphic novel, up to about - roughly- the half way mark.

As I said before when I read and reviewed book 1 Frank Herbert's DUNE: The Graphic Novel, Book 1, my only exposure to the Dune tale beforehand was that 2021 film (although I knew the broad strokes: desert planet, Spice, giant Sandworms), so I do feel it will be interesting to see, when part 2 of the movie series comes out, just how close it sticks to this graphic novel. Especially as, apparently (and as the foreword says), the authors and illustrators of this have tried to stick as close as possible to Frank Herbert 's original text as possible ...
  
Combining artworks and short storytelling, this graphic novel gives an interesting account of the New York experience over the last several decades. While some moments are especially engaging, there are a few too many that fall flat to make this more than passingly entertaining.

I'm generally not one for graphic novels, but I thought this was well done. Many of my students are reading this series so I thought I would see what the hype was about. The artwork is beautiful. It is very easy to read and follow.
