David McK (3425 KP) rated Predator: Big Game in Books
Jan 30, 2019
A collection of essays written by tie in writers that cover everything you'd want to know about those books based on your favorite movie or TV series. Since I read the occasional tie in, I found this book fascinating.

It's Star Wars enough said
Great movie that depicts the time just before Episode 4 A New Hope. Tells an in depth tale of The Death Star and how the rebels were able to get the plans. Great background story of the Erso family and other characters to help explain that tie in.

Exactly what you would expect from an MCU movie in this day and age. Great effects, good acting, several tie ins to the overarching franchise, and plenty of doors left open for a continuation if the studio sees fit.
I thoroughly enjoyed the timeline setting of the movie. That was actually one of my favorite things.
It was also nice to see Fury's eye patch explained on film.

Survival of the Fittest
Oh my goodness. This movie was a riot. I have never laughed so hard in my life. It was awesome from beginning to end. I was always curious on how they will tie the original Jumanji to the Sequel, but the execution was perfect. I recommend everyone to watch it.

Entertaining continuation of the original.
Contains spoilers, click to show
I feel that there will never be a replacement for the original with Robin Williams, but this was a fitting continuation and I loved that they added in the tie in from "Alan's Cabin". I had many laugh out loud moments and have even went twice to see this movie. I don't do that often.

Bostonian916 (449 KP) rated Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) in Movies
Aug 19, 2020
Another movie that I feel gets quite a bit of undeserved negative attention.
An origin story of how Han Solo became the Han that we have come and known to love in the Star Wars universe. Some underdeveloped characters, as I think the makers literally just ran out of time and energy. Overall a fun movie with significant tie ins to the SW universe as a whole. Seeing the introduction of Chewy to Han was a personal highlight, as well was the performance of the great Woody Harrelson.

David McK (3425 KP) rated Venom: The Last Dance (2024) in Movies
Nov 8, 2024 (Updated Nov 8, 2024)
The final(?) part of the Tom Hardy led Venom movies, again relying a large part on the 'star power' of its leading man, who provides the voice of Venom whilst also portraying Eddie Brock.
Despite the stinger at the end of 'Let There Be Carnage', there's no tie in to the MCU, or even to Sony's Spider-verse.
I also felt that Andy Serkis was completely and utterly wasted as Knull, whilst Rhys Ifans provided the comic relief and Chiwetel Ejiofor wasn't sure what movie he was in!
