David McK (3623 KP) rated Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005) in Movies

It's over, Anakin. I have the high ground!
The final part of the prequel trilogy, which at least - and in comparison to the sequel trilogy - had a clear vision and overarching narrative.
I remember going to see this in the cinema in '05.
I also remember there was a kid somewhere in the audience who didn't know Anakin became Vader.
Cue a shocked "noooo!" at that part of the film.
Anyway, the prequels had all been building to this; to the long awaited showdown between Obi-Wan and Vader, that ends with Vader encased in the suit.
It might take a while getting there, and it's maybe not *quite* up there with the Duel of the Fates from 'The Phantom Menace', bit it doesn't disappoint once it does!

David McK (3623 KP) rated Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017) in Movies
Mar 21, 2020 (Updated Sep 28, 2024)
Also known as "Salazar's Revenge" (instead of "Dead Men Tell No Tales") in certain circles - I think maybe Dead Men is the American subtitle? - this is the fifth Pirates of the Caribbean film, with Johnny Depp again reprising what is (for me) his most iconic role of the Pirate Captain Jack Sparrow.
This ties itself closer to the original trilogy than the last entry ("On Stranger Tides"), with the return of certain key characters from that trilogy 'bookending' the plot, and with a close familial tie to one of the key characters of this.
Indeed, we're also back to basics with the plot of a supernatural threat to Sparrow, and of his wish to reclaim the captaincy of the Black Pearl (his ship), ALONGSIDE the return of Captain Barbossa (yet again)...

May The Force Be With You: The End
Return of the Jedi- is the final movie out of the oringal trilogy. So is it my favorite one, no. The 4th one is my favorite one, it goes 4, 6, 5. It has good scenes like the battle between luke and the rancor, the battle planet desert beast, the battle on edor and the battle between Luke, Dark Vader and the Emperor.
The plot: Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) battles horrible Jabba the Hut and cruel Darth Vader to save his comrades in the Rebel Alliance and triumph over the Galactic Empire. Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) reaffirm their love and team with Chewbacca, Lando Calrissian (Billy Dee Williams), the Ewoks and the androids C-3PO and R2-D2 to aid in the disruption of the Dark Side and the defeat of the evil emperor.
I realize that these movie are slow, and it takes it time to build up suspense. Which can be good, but its bad because i fall alseep, cause its boring.
Other than that, Return of the Jedi, is the end of the oringal trilogy and a good end to a excellent trilogy.

Great Read
I have enjoyed this world and characters since the first Farseer trilogy. This was a great read. It felt like saying goodbye to old friends. The story was interesting and I cared about the characters a lot. Robin Hobb created a beautiful world with complex and fascinating characters and while the story was sad, it was a wonderful book.

Trilogy that was EPIC
My favortie set of book from the Hobbit to Return of the King. The acting in amazing, the story follows the books from start to finish. Not for young kids ofcourse but it's better if read all of the book before seeing the movies. Orlando Bloom was the best in the movies in my opinion

A very enjoyable read.
This book is definitely feisty and fun.
Another good strong woman character.
This is book 1 of a trilogy so the story is not completed. To know what happens to the relationship between the Rock God and the less than impressed Housekeeper you need to read book 2. It leaves you wanting more in a good way.

Obsessed with anything/everything Barsugo touches
I won this book from a smashbox give away, and I was SO EXCITED. when it showed up it was a hardcover and not a paper back and the story line is so much better than I thought. I love the Grishaverse and how we are getting back with the characters from the original trilogy.

OMG I loved this book so much!
This series is like the Hunger Games combined with Jurassic Park! Its an easy smooth read with interesting characters, action and the whole package! I would recommend this to any YA fan that wants a new unputdownable trilogy... I will warn you though that when you finish the series it will break you!!

In the second book of the Peter Pan prequel trilogy, Peter heads to London to try to warn Molly that someone is searching for the star stuff. It was a bit long winded at time, but it was still a fun read.
