HeroQuest Advanced Quest
HeroQuest Advanced Quest
1990 | Adventure, Exploration, Fantasy, Fighting
The advanced quest was a step beyond the "newb-friendly" Hero Quest. Dice rolling was made more complex, and the quests became more arduous. This was a step too far and possibly put me off a career in D&D for life, after the gentle, easy to follow rules of the original. The added rules and complexity took away from the enjoyment for me, but then I was only about 11 at the time...

A pretty decent effort of a remake of the original Thai film. It compares well and the scenes are very similar, but the Thai version was more jumpy and creepy for me. Though that could be partly put down to knowing what was coming. The imagery of the ghost girl is no way as scary as the Grudge, Ring remakes. Enjoyable film well made and featuring a recognizable cast including Rachael Taylor from Transformers.

Entertaining but not as good as the original
I love that they recreated a classic but updated it. Kevin Hart and Dwight Johnson are hysterical in it! Jack Black is beyond awful. He is supposed to be a teenage girl, but he behaves as if he is flamboyant and mocking of a homosexual. It's embarrassing to watch his scenes and horrible acting in this particular movie.

I love this film so much. Adam Sandler is toned down as a genuinely good guy and wedding singer. The soundtrack is solid, and every time I hear the song 'True', I remember the last scene with Steve Buscemi singing it.
I loved both of the 'original' songs that Robbie wrote, and the 'Somebody Kill Me' song is hilarious.
Overall, this is probably one of my favorite movies, and definitely my favorite Adam Sandler movie.

Dystopia per episode
I love dystopias, and I love this show because of how it is set up. Each episode promises a new, original and unique dystopia to devour. Some aren't interesting, but most are absolutely mind-blowing. The great thing about this show, is if you don't like an episode or if it doesn't sound interesting, you can just go to a different episode!

An entertaining family adventure film most will enjoy. It is big budget and that shows in the amount of CGI effects, but at least they do look good. Not particularly original, it does pay homage to Disney's Fantasia at one point which was a nice touch. Kinda reminded me of the films I enjoyed when I was younger like The Neverending story. Fun for all ages if falling short of a classic.

So much better than I was anticipating
Let’s face it, it was a friends turn to choose the film so I went in with the lowest of expectations only to be pleasantly surprised. The chemistry between the cast is believable with no duff acting amongst them. The story which is totally different from the original was funny and the dialogue sharp. Really enjoyed it.

Awesome
Love this app. Use it almost daily. Love the fact that they have so many great titles. Unfortunately, trying to find that certain title that you're looking can be difficult if you're not quite sure of the name. Other than that, great app!!!

One of my favourite manga series! I love it! I have the anime but I haven't finished watching all of it yet. When I first started this series I thought it was very original and that the characters were great. The plot is great, if I was going to knock any stars off it would be because of Riku and Risa...they can get a little annoying at times, but other than that....great series!!
