Some interesting points about what happens after we pass. Loved that they had Kiefer play a role, as a throwback to original. (0 more)
Very predictible, too short of a setup, jump scares were foreseen, acting not as good as could have been. (0 more)
Flatliners flatlined
Movie was interesting in building up the science behind what could happen after we pass. Better then the original in that aspect, otherwise it turned mundane and monotonous. Could tell where everything was going step by step. Jump scares were predictable, acting was subpar (even for "Juno" star Ellen Page). I was disappointed in this remake overall. Wanted to see more setup then, jumping right into killing each other.

An Updated Adventure
I remember playing the original Ratchet and Clank game on PS1 as a kid and I liked it at the time, but I never followed the series and I actually haven't played a Ratchet game since, so to return to the game 20 years later in glorious high definition is a treat. The new game is essentially a remake of the original and it is just as fun as I remember it being the first time. The new weapons are cool, the visuals are breath-taking and the voice acting is good too. If you have young children or just want to relive your own childhood, this is definitely recommended.

Great Spin off
This book is the first in a spin off series. The original series is "The Iron Fey" and the events from it are closely related to this story. The reader was first introduced to the main character Ethan during the iron fey series. He is now much older, and his perspective is a lot different.
I enjoyed seeing the characters I loved from the main series. The book was balanced really well where the new characters were never over shadowed, and I became just as invested in there story. This book should only be read after the original series. If not I do think the reader may have trouble understanding some of the events.

I love this anime!

It is a brilliant, well thought out, comprehensive series with no end of twists and turns in the plot. In comparison to the original Fullmetal Alchemist, The Brotherhood series follows the Manga and flows a lot better than the original.

The series both follow the tale of Edward and Alphonse Elric as the journey to find a way to recover their bodies, Brotherhood however, in my opinion, covers a more fluid storyline with less plot holes.

I have to admit though that one of my favourite scenes is during the Fifth Laboratory when 66/Barry the Chopper reacts to Alhponse's lack of body despite his own lack of one.

Not enough new good content
There is a lot of new content but most of it is subtitled, I not completely opposed to subtitled but it’s a Netflix original, I would have thought they’d provide dubbed as well.

I think the content has gone downhill as well, not as much new content being released and I often find Now TV or other platforms to have newer content quicker.

It buffers more often, none of my other apps buffer and their quality is higher.

I’ve rated it 6/10 because I still like some of its original content but it could improve.

An unnecessary sequel
As with all sequels, this one is pretty unnecessary. Whilst as sequels go it isn’t terrible, it just feels like it’s repeating the same old things over again, and not very well either. This film seems to have upped the ante on the gore and the body count, but it’s nowhere near as scary or creepy. It’s still quite entertaining and funny, it’s just not a patch on the original and the little twist at the end is a lame.
I’m shocked to see how many famous people are in this that I forgot about, namely Jack Black and Milton Dammers himself, Jeffrey Combs. Just a shame they couldn’t make this as good as the original.

Beautiful lesson
A beautifully done addition to the Toy Story saga.
You always worry when they dig up old property to make a new film. Will they do it justice? Will they be true to the original? Is there really a need for another movie? Toy Story answers all these questions with a resounding YES! The original toys, along with some new additions, are brought back for a new adventure that hits all the notes that you love about the series. The laughs are there, as are the tears. A beautiful new chapter is added to the toys' saga as is the beautiful underlying lessons and morals of the story. Truly well done.
