Movie Critics (823 KP) rated Ghost in the Shell (2017) in Movies
Apr 14, 2017
Scarlett Johansson's soulful action spectacle proves the purists wrong
Critic Review by Tim Robey - The Telegraph
Original Score: 4 out of 5
Excerpt:
For Johansson, this could easily be a franchise in the making, her own futuristic, post-human equivalent of a John Wick or Bourne. It needs the embrace of a willing audience first, but with trappings this glintingly cool and seductive, it’s hard to see how the offer can be refused.

Apr 14, 2017
A strong cast struggle to survive amid the special effects and implausible twists in the latest version of the giant gorilla classic
Critic Review By Wendy Ide - The Guardian
Original Score: 3 out of 5
Excerpt:
...it’s enjoyable enough, if a little overblown. However, despite the quality of actors – Tom Hiddleston and Brie Larson star, alongside John C Reilly – the characters are not quite as nuanced as you might hope.

Movie Critics (823 KP) rated Logan (2017) in Movies
Apr 14, 2017
The best Wolverine movie yet: grown-up, ballsy, character-driven and grounded. It feels right that it should be the last one, but it also feels a bit of a shame
Critic review by Dan Jolin - Empire
Original score: 4 out of 5
Excerpt:
"A reminder that, when it comes to playing a properly magnetic anti-hero with a gruff ’70s-cinema exterior and a dark reservoir of inner depth, Jackman really is the best at what he does."

Jul 14, 2017
One superb, fun-packed class to play (3 more)
Revitalises campaign and adventure modes
Diablo 3 remains stupidly addictive
More great animation and art design
No new campaign content (1 more)
More for existing fans than noobs
Think you’re tired of Diablo III? Rise of the Necromancer will soon change that. The revamped corpse-raiser is a blast to play and a smashing way to revitalise both the campaign and Adventure Mode.

Suswatibasu (1703 KP) rated The Hanging Girl: Department Q 6 in Books
Jul 25, 2017
Didn't see it coming, expect lots of twists
Listened on Audible.co.uk.
While it took a while for any major developments to unfold as it went into a lot of details with smaller clues, and the original crime itself felt slightly underwhelming - the last 15 chapters were an absolute whirlwind of suspense and unnerving moments.
Chapter 45 is absolutely gut-wrenching so watch this space.
The ending totally throws you off your initial suspicions from the first 40 chapters. So stick right to the end!

Jan 13, 2018
First of a series of Jigsaw
Of all of the the movies in this collection this was the best. Usually the first is because it is most original. The story of a serial killer who kidnaps his victims based in what crimes they have committed in their lives and makes them choose to live or die via playing a very ideally games which usually involves them dismembering themselves in some fashion. SOme learn some don't. The series now contains 6 sequells they should have stopped at 1

Could have been so much better
When I first saw the original short film it scared the crap out of me, the whole idea of what is in the dark that we just can't see is such a base fear for most people and the short film played on it so well.
Just like the short film Lights Out played on this fear so well but due to an uninteresting plot and frankly unmemorable characters, they really lost what made the short film so good.

Lots of ways to choose your path
Lessons are learned the hard way

Online connection required, even for solo play
The various systems at play, including flight mechanics, are just complicated enough to be believable, while not hindering gameplay. It also helps that the game looks gorgeous, and runs solidly.

Fun co-op (3 more)
Nice visuals
Great style
Addicting gameplay
Boss fights feel overly unfair (1 more)
solo players beware
Killing Floor 2 is a lot of mindless fun.I say mindless, but it really does take some strategy to be successful. That’s what makes it the most fun.If you’re thinking of going into this game solo,it’s going to be an uphill battle that will quickly get old
