Same old formula, very predictable (1 more)

Very few fights

Doesn't pack a punch

I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by the first Creed film that was full of nostalgia for the Rocky films. It was no surprise there would be a sequel. This time bring back Drago from the 4th Rocky film and his son.
Everything happens as you expect fight, rematch, training montage and then the big fight. At 2 hours long it only features a few fights, the pacing was off for me with big lulls between the fights. It just became too predictable and didn't provide a knockout blow.

Aardman carry on delivering fun funny filns

Aardman make movies that on one hand are just full of a British charm and on the other have a classic slapstick appeal. The new Shaun the Sheep sequel hasn't lost any of its appeal. The alien they introduce is cute and fun and funny. Adults and kids were all laughing out loud such is its accessibility of anyone of any age. I could take a five year old with autism or my grandad to watch this film and both would laugh.

Russ Troutt (291 KP) rated Doctor Sleep (2019) in Movies

Heeerrreee's Russ! What's up Doc? If you've been sleeping on seeing the sequel to The Shining, Doctor Sleep, then you need to wake up. I haven't read Doctor Sleep yet, but did just finish reading The Shining, and I feel like King's and Kubrick's visions were blended together wonderfully in this new movie. The acting shined brightly all around, effects and makeup were great, and set design was amazing! This movie deserves to gain 'steam' at the box office. So much more I'd love to talk about, but I don't want to spoil anything. Speaking of spoiling, does anyone else smell rotting meat?

Didn't think I was gonna like this movie but I did I almost jumped out of my seat serval times during the movie. Can't believe I'm the first one to review the movie.going In to this movie I always the one the one with Sarah Michelle gellar and how I loved that movie and the sequel not so much. But this one o was quite satisfied the make up effects were good and even Lyn shayle in small role I thought she would be kinda playing a charchater like the one from insidious. Anyway good film

A good story that does not quite live up to its predecessor. I enjoyed the writing style, which is very descriptive and engaging. The narrator of the audiobook does a good job with the pace and cadence, bringing the characters and story to life. There was a lot of introspection on the part of the protagonist and the murder investigation subplot, while a bit mundane later becomes important; even so, too little, too late. I wish more time had been expended on delving into some aspects of the story that would have been much more interesting. All in all, a good sequel.
