Dean (6927 KP) rated London Has Fallen (2016) in Movies
Dec 26, 2017 (Updated Jan 6, 2018)
Disappointing sequel
It gets off to a great start but sadly is no where near as good as the first film. The action scenes in London at the start are great. It feels like half way through the film they run out of budget and ideas. Could have been so much better.

Wish I hadn't seen this
I quite liked the original film and hoped this would be more of the same. It's a shame Isla Fisher didn't return. Some of the scenes are ridiculous even for a "magic" film, some plot lines don't make a lot of sense. Overall it felt like a quick lower budget sequel.

I couldn't get into the book at first, but once I did it was fast paced. Levin blends hard science, with sci-fi fantasy very well. Anyone who loves time travel, sci-fi and secret agents will love this book. It also has some graphic sex scenes. I hope there is a sequel. I received an ARC copy from #NetGalley for an voluntary, honest review.

If you are looking for a happy sequel to the first book then turn away now. There is no light at the end of the tunnel here. Instead everything that can go wrong goes worse than expected. There is more, blood, torture, and loss of love.
Maybe the third will be better and close out the series with a bow. But I doubt it.

Very bad sequel
No complains about special effects, because it is an old movie. The movie is watchable, but it is too predictable. We do get to meet a new interesting character - a girl who can solve puzzles, and we also get to see the human side of demons, and that's about it. Everything else is either boring, not scary, or plain stupid.

So true
Sequel to why mummy swears. It's like the author has been into my house and wrote the book on my family. Not that I swear that much. I found it really easy to get into and it was hard to put down, I just kept thinking 1 more chapter.

A very enjoyable sequel with plenty of action. It's missing a certain something second time round though, maybe the detective work to track his daughter down added more suspense in the first. Good to see the daughter and ex-wife have larger roles this time though. Unfortunately though I got a bad feeling there could be a 3rd, which really would stretch the franchise too far.

Purrsistently (46 KP) rated Pegasus (Pegasus, #1) in Books
Jun 21, 2018
This is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever read. It does get cut off rather suddenly and is meant to be finished in a sequel(s). This has not been published as planned due to the tragic loss of the author’s husband, but I highly recommend it all the same. It’s a gorgeous world you shouldn’t miss out on just because it isn’t finished.

Avoid!
Hmm Left on the shelf would be a better sub title. A very weak low budget entry in the series. No where near as good as the first and the 2nd wasn't bad for a straight to DVD sequel. It has a fair amount of gore, a couple of inventive kills and that's about it? Turn the other way and find a better slasher film.
