Vegas (725 KP) rated Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) in Movies

It's a Star Wars story
Action
Really Enjoyable
I love Star Wars even though I'm not a huge Sci-fi fan and I wasn't sure what to expect and wasn't sure either if anyone else could play Han Solo... To say I was happy with it would be an understatement - I thought it was brilliant. There was the perfect amount of action mixed with humor, the portrayal of Solo was spot on and could easily been a young Harrison Ford with the mannerisms and speach.
For me it added to the Han Solo character, how he came to be the person we knew and loved from the originals.

The soundtrack is great
Truly faithful to the originals
Nostalgia at its Finest
I love spyro. I have loved spyro since I was old enough to be able to play the first game. When I heard it was getting a remaster, I probably made actual sounds of joy. And I'm really pleased that the remake does remain faithful to the original in a way that is fun to play and plucks all the good nostalgia heart strings. The short version of the review is to go and get the game, especially if you've played the originals.
However, there's a few niggles I have. Hunter's new voice is irritating and not how i think of the character at all. Sometimes the camera has an absolute mind if it's own and refuses to remain to behave in a way that makes any sense and...
The glitches.
They're especially prevalent in Spyro 3 and within that, the skateboard races. The final race against the yetis took me upwards of an hour to beat simply because of how glitchy and broken so many of the mechanics that it needed to function were incredibly broken. Several of the trophies were also so persistently not triggering that at one point I had to put the controller down and walk away.
And I hate that they've tainted the game enough that i don't want to replay the third one again.
But yes, all in all, I love spyro, I love the games and I enjoyed my time with the remake.

Beatriz (138 KP) rated Death Note (2017) in Movies
Nov 30, 2018
Most of the characters don’t follow the original ones physically nor personality (1 more)
The story doesn’t follow (not even close) the original.
Death Note Netflix Live Action
Death Note is originally an anime created by Tsugumi Ohba from 2003 to 2006.
If I haven’t watched the anime (which I did, years ago Netflix published the live action) I would have given this film a 6.
I love Netflix and I’m a big fan of a lot of Netflix originals but this one could be way better.
Since I watched the anime, it was painfully horrendous to watch the film.
Netflix basically followed the introduction of the anime and made a whole new thing out of it giving it the same name.

David McK (3361 KP) rated War for the Planet of the Apes (2017) in Movies
Apr 28, 2020
The final part of the 2010 version of the Planet of the apes films (after both Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes), with Andy Serkis again portraying the noble Ape leader Caesar, and with this film set (I believe) roughly 15 years after the viral outbreak that occurred during Rise of the ...
Acting as a prequel of sorts to the Charlton Heston originals, this one - while perhaps a bit slow paced - also shows how mankind loses the ability to speak, starting their journey towards becoming the dumb brutes of that Heston original.
I have to say, however, that the title is a bit misleading (unless it's referring to Caesar's inner war?): perhaps "Skirmish for the Planet of the Apes" would be more apt … ?
