I held off watching Suicide Squad because I wasn't sure if it would live up to the hype. I really liked it and I definitely see why people were obsessed with Harley Quinn! (0 more)
Definitely feel like it was overrated but not by too much, I will say. Felt a sequel is in need as a lot of story left to tell! (0 more)
Surprisingly Good

An average sequel at best, done with a smaller budget by the looks of it. It has quite a good crop of British actors who many will recognise. The action scenes are ok, bike stunts pretty good and the CGI for the bike, flaming skull are decent. It just really falls down on the plot more than anything. Don't expect anything outstanding.

Well this sequel of sorts sunk without a trace. A DVD release featuring a fairly well known cast. It doesn't really have any links to the first film other than the plot is similar. Set in Hawaii as some divers are hired for more than just treasure hunting. Not bad but nothing great either, shame as I loved the first film.

A run of the mill low budget straight to DVD sequel. Considering the budget it isn't really bad but it's not good either. It borrows a lot of ideas from other films bit of a mix of Aliens, The Thing, Body snatchers. For a film that has a made for TV feel about it could have been a lot worse.

The characters in this book are really well developed and the chemistry between Cassidy and Julia is good. Lentzski also has some really good secondary characters which help develop and drive the mystery element in the plot. This is not just a romance but more of a mystery story with romance involved. I will be reading the sequel andmore by this author.

Scarlett dreams of escaping her life and going to Caraval. When she finally gets there, she realizes that it isn't at all what she expected, and that nothing is as it seems. This book is full of mystery, betrayal, love, deception, and so much more. I couldn't put it down, and look forward to getting my hands on the sequel!

Somewhat of an enjoyable watch but an ageing Ford and an unnecessary sequel do not mix and this is a poor relation to the original trilogy.
 The film is very clunky dialogue wise and although full of action it still feels a little disjointed in places.
Harrison Ford is a great actor, however the character should have been retired some time back.

I was pretty skeptical about this book because it had such a hype around it. It started off pretty slow, I was having a hard time engaging with the characters until Day Four of Caraval - I will tell you, I was unable to put the book down after that and finished it mere hours later. I have since pre-ordered the sequel.

I received a copy of Shadow Frost from Blackstone Publishing in exchange for an honest review.

I'm a sucker for world building and this one was a thrill to read.

I loved the way magic was portrayed in this book but most importantly I adore the characters.

I really really hope there's going to be a sequel to this one, because that cliffhanger!
