Childhood come alive

This was one of my most anticipated releases of the year although I wasn't a super fan of Winnie-the-Pooh when I was little I did watch it now and then so I was excited to see a part of my childhood come to life. Although this is a family movie it is definitely not a movie for young kids that's not to say it's inappropriate it just wouldn't hold their attention this movie focuses more on Christopher Robin as an adult then it does Winnie the Pooh that being said I really enjoyed this movie it made me very nostalgic and just got back memories of a happy or easier time.

David McK (3562 KP) rated Celtic Warrior: The Legend of Cú Chulainn in Books

Jan 30, 2019

I'm always surprised that the story of Cu Chulainn, The Hound of Ulster, isn't better known; not as well known as, say, The Legend of King Arthur and his Knights, or of Robin Hood and his outlaws.

Based primarily around the Cattle Raid of Cooley at the end of Cu Chulainn's life, this graphic novel is a mythic retelling of that story, split into 6 distinct chapters. Interestingly, nearly every chapter includes a flash-back (shown in gray-scale) to an earlier part of Cu Chulainn's life, taking in how he got that name (from his birth name Setanta) and his training to become a warrior, for example.

Short? Yes.

Did I enjoy this? Also yes.
