Dean (6927 KP) rated G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009) in Movies
Jun 22, 2018
No it won't win any Oscars, but this was a surprisingly very good all out action blockbuster! It never lets up, just one action scene after another and with the same amount of special effects as the last few Star Wars films!! The CGI on the whole is great, bit ropey in some scenes but the detail in the back grounds and vehicles is great. Plenty of special features on the DVD regarding the CGI too! A great enjoyable fun blockbuster film from the director of The Mummy films. Grab the popcorn, switch your brain off and enjoy!

Fun battle app with Disney characters
This is practically the same game as Star Wars Heroes and Marvel Strike Force (both also owned by Disney). You build a team of characters and fight five on five to level up and collect more characters. As compared to the other games, this one awards fewer raid passes, so you have to play levels you’ve already played repeatedly to farm materials you need to level up your characters. There are more opurtunities to pit your team of characters against other players teams instead of just battling the computer.
He-Man rocks!
I love docs like this where they explain how something you loved as a child came to be and all the stories behind it.
Basically Mattel was kicking themselves after they passed on Star Wars figures to Kenner and was trying to figure out something they could do themselves. They were interested in Conan the Barbarian, but then found out the movie was going to be hard R so they decided to come up with their own line which ended up being hugely successful.
Wish I would've kept all my He-Man toys!

LeftSideCut (3776 KP) rated Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) in Movies

There is literally nothing I could say that hasn't already been said about Raiders of the Lost Ark, so in short...
Although films such as Star Wars and Jaws had come before, the first Indiana Jones adventure truly set the blueprint for blockbuster cinema. It scared me as a kid, delighted me as I grew a little older, and still rips all these years later. Its influence can be seen in all avenues of popular culture since, and I will never, NEVER forget how Paul Freeman didn't even flinch a millimeter when a fly crawled into his mouth mid line. Cold. As. Ice.

It was so good! I really enjoyed it and binge watched it in one day. Really glad they have made this new star wars as I have missed it. Some great stories and it's nice that the graphics are now much better and can really do the scenes justice.
There were a few filler scenes/episode. Particular the episode (6?) where they are rescuing a prisoner, lots of dramatic cuts and random pointless light shows that dragged on and on. Generally quite restrained for disney.
Would recommend.

LeftSideCut (3776 KP) rated Obi-Wan Kenobi in TV

Contains spoilers, click to show
For 99% of its run time, Obi-Wan Kenobi was a solid 7/10 for me. Having Ewan McGregor back as the titular Jedi is like seeing an old friend after a few years. It drip feeds us Vader content before delivering arguably the best lightsaber duel of the entire franchise. It has several well fleshed out emotional moments, and moves at a decent pace.
And then...then... the audacious bastards had the absolute stones to end the series with a "hello there" and that my friends, moved it to an easy 8/10. Well played Star Wars, well played.

David McK (3801 KP) rated Star Wars: Bloodline in Books

By and large, most of the Star Wars books to date (including in the old EU), have pretty much belonged to the 'boys club', dfocusing more on the male characters (Han, Luke, the X-Wing pilots, etc) than on their female contemporaries.
I think that's to be expected, given the predominantly male targer audience of the film series - an expectation that Disney themselves are trying to shake up, both in the new films (both of which - The Force Awakens and Rogue One - , so far, have female leads), and in the wider media, as can be shown by their 'Princess Leia' series of comics.
This follows(?) (or did it come first?) in the latter footsteps, with nary a sign of Luke and Han only popping in to give Leia a hand towards the climax of the novel.
Set in the period between the end of 'Return of the Jedi' and the start of 'The Force Awakens', this also seeks to bridge the gap between those two films, providing a bit of background to the history of The First Order and explaining why, if Leia was part of the Rebellion which toppled the Empire, just why she is now a key member in The Resistance - the Resistance to what, I hear you ask? This answers that question.
It's not a bad read by any strecth of the imagination - according to Goodreads own rating system, 2 stars is a 'I liked it'; I just personally found this a slower, somewhat heavier read than [a:Claudia Gray|1192311|Claudia Gray|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1234643683p2/1192311.jpg]'s other Star Wars title: '[b:Lost Stars|25067046|Lost Stars (Star Wars Journey to the Force Awakens)|Claudia Gray|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1462731623s/25067046.jpg|44751860]';. And yes, I'm aware that this is aimed at a different audience.
How best to put it? I didn't find myself reading this quite so much in my spare time on the bus on the way to work!
