Sweet timekiller
I haven't read the book so went in with an open mind as it was recommended by Netflix.
Definitely an enjoyable watch but heavily predictable.
Watch if you're looking for a feelgood girly movie to kill some time.
Also personally a little conflicted as Lara Jean was fab but didn't believe Janel Parrish as her sister and although she's a great actor it felt as if she was cast just to raise the profile of the movie.

Wasn't in a rush watch this at first as he's not a character that I've come across in my time of being a marvel fan. This was a pleasant surprise when watched this as its gripped me all throughout the film great graphics and storyline. Would of liked seen more about his abilities seen more but that's just my opinion. Will say this is a must watch for marvel fans and scifi

Better than expected
I was apprehensive to watch this one as Han Solo is my favorite Star Wars character. I thought it would not be done very well. I was pleasantly surprised. While not the best Star Wars movie out there, it holds it's own and does justice to the characters it portrays. With plenty of action, cool effects and a decent "origins" storyline this movie didn't disappoint me. Fun for the whole family and a film any fan of the franchise should enjoy. Worth a watch.

Up there with the rest 9/10
For someone who has only ever watched the first three star wars movies from way back when and never seen any of the new ones, watching this was a first for me. But after getting some info that may be needed to watch this film from my husband I actually really enjoyed this film.
I love films that show the back stories of characters and I feel this did it really well.
May watch again some time soon.

Not bad
This one came up on a list of if thrillers to watch so I checked it out. It actually surprised me. The description doesn't do it justice. Started out a little slow but it took some turns and twists that weren't expected. Great story all around with very good performance by Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick(both good actresses). The cinematography was well done, too. If you're into mystery/thrillers with a touch of comedy thrown in, you'll enjoy this movie. Worth a watch!

Wow. Pixar once again delivers a tear-jerker that is a fun, exciting family film. Ever since I saw the trailer, I knew that I wanted to watch this film. It just looked too good to pass up. And I was not wrong. Pixar delivered so hard with this movie. Props to Scanlon for incorporating a personal piece of his own life in this film. Also, Chris Pratt and Tom Holland both killed it in their roles in this film. I absolutely will watch this again!

Confusingly brilliant
When it comes to Christopher Nolan, I may be a little biased. I’ve loved every film he’s ever made, and most of his films feature in my list of favourite films of all time. So unsurprisingly, I loved Tenet even if it did completely mess up my head.
This film is a complete mind f**k. Excuse the language, but there’s no better way to describe it. Right from the opening scene, you can appreciate the sheer brilliance of this whilst being totally confused at the same time. And I’ll admit I spent the majority of this film wondering what on earth was going on, but that doesn’t make it any less of an enjoyable thrill ride. As with all of Nolan’s films, the cinematography is top notch and you really can’t fault it. The action scenes are epic and hugely impressive, especially when you consider that they’ve been done without CGI. I wish other filmmakers would take not when it comes to their over reliance on CGI! The score and soundtrack are fantastic too, so dramatic and really help with the increasing the suspense and tension.
Cast-wise, I had been concerned about John David Washington mainly because I haven’t seen him in much, but my concerns were unwarranted. He makes for a likeable lead and action hero and can definitely hold the weight of this film. Robert Pattinson, who I’ve never really liked thanks to Twilight, is also rather good and I actually wish his character had been in this more. And I spent the last part of the film debating if Aaron Taylor-Johnson was Ives (he was) who also should’ve been in this a lot more.
Despite my gushing, this film isn’t perfect, I found Elizabeth Debicki’s character Kat rather irritating at times and felt like her character could have been made into someone better. I also felt when there were dips in the action and the film ran into some quieter moments, my mind tended to wander to try and dissect and understand everything I’d already seen so far which probably made me miss more! The science behind the inversion is pretty deep and confusing, especially if you try and overthink it like I did.
That said, how this film unfolds and it’s ending are brilliantly done. There are a lot of lightbulb moments in this towards the end that made me go “ohhh” when I realised it explained or referred to an earlier moment in the film. And the ending itself was both unpredicted, genius, and also tugged on the old heartstrings a little. I loved this film a lot, but I definitely need to watch it again to really appreciate it fully.

Must watch, for so many reasons
This is an extraordinary piece of TV history. Everything is pitch perfect from beginning to end. Often it is difficult to watch, especially during the first two episodes, but you always feel that it's important to keep watching. A cautionary tale if ever there was one but also a homage to all of the people affected by the accident. Brilliantly made, deftly written and with masterclass acting on show. It deserves all the praise received so far.

Cool images and scene
Kinda Cool Kinda Weird
The storyline was kind of thrown together but it makes for a happy kids movie with upbeat music and a happy message at the end. Good for entertaining the kids but not if you want to watch it ugh yourself. All in all the music was a little overdone but the actual film was cool to watch, just not something I wanted to sit there and pay attention to for another two hours.
