Dork_knight74 (881 KP) rated Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker (2019) in Movies

Entertaining
Well I finally saw it. It was surprisingly good. I enjoyed it better than its two predecessors. The only problem I had with it was that it tried to put too much into this one film. They could've spread the story out more through the trilogy and made them all much better. That being said, this is a must watch for any Star Wars fans. A good end to a long run. Worth a watch.

I wasn't sure what to expect going into this book and after the shocking start I thought it looked set to settle into a fantasy setting teen drama (yawn.) However, it suddenly turned on the intrigue level and became a lot more cloak and dagger plotting and less who kissed who.
For the first book in a series (trilogy?) this ended in a satisfying place but leaving me with plenty of desire to pick up the next book

Erika (17789 KP) rated The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) in Movies

Out of the LOTR Trilogy, this is my favorite. The scenery is beautiful, the tension is there, and all of the actors do the characters justice. The Battle of Helms Deep is, in my opinion, the best, most engaging battle on film.
It's worth mentioning that I haven't seen the theatrical cut of this film for years. The extended editions are the only versions I'll watch. The additional scenes are worth watching, and offer a more complete story.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated The Queen (The Selection, #0.4) in Books
Sep 5, 2019
3.5 stars.
I became a fast fan of Maxon's mother in The Selection trilogy so the chance to read her story and how she won her husbands heart was a big YES!
I liked reading her Selection and how she went about it, believing in herself. I also learnt a few things I didn't know about her like how long she'd loved the Prince.
If you're a fan of the series then you'll probably enjoy this.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Girl on Tour (Kylie Ryans, #2) in Books
Sep 6, 2019
I didn't enjoy this as much as the first and I think that was due to the ending...I prefer them happier than this one's was. But since I know it's in a trilogy, I'm hoping Kylie and Trace will get their HEA in <i>Girl in Love</i>
I thought Mia was a bit of a b*tch to start with but she came through in the end and I hope Kylie takes her advice at the end.

David McK (3557 KP) rated The Winter King - season 1 in TV
Feb 26, 2024 (Updated Feb 26, 2024)
I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with Bernard Cornwell adaptations.
I (generally) like his books.
I've yet to encounter a good adaptation, with the possible exception of the 90s Sharpe series (with Sean Bean), although those definitely needed a bigger budget!
This is loosely based on Cornwell's 'Warlord' trilogy - The Winter King, Enemy of God and Excalibur - which Cornwell himself views as his best works.
They're a 'realistic' retelling of the Arthurian stories, basically.
