The story and the route it takes is a perfect continuation of Infinity War and it’s a film that is one that brings the Avengers to a conclusion that is worthy of being called an epic and a film that gets that high rating in my reviews. It has so many things that you can sit down and talk about with those have already seen it, sharing moments that may have surprised you during the viewing, Avengers Endgame is going to go down in history as a movie that had fans in tears watching in cinemas around the world and having everyone saying, “but what now? How can we go on with the MCU?“.

Different to the first two
A good entry to the series
Finally got around to watching this. I really liked the original and enjoyed the second. This takes a different direction being a prequel but also with less humour.
Based on events leading up to World War 1 as a Lord tries to use his influence and means to prevent conflict.
There are some great action scenes and fights but it doesn't have the humour of the other films. Quite odd at times, serious the next. It's a bit of a mixed bag. Plenty to enjoy but also a few surprises in one way or another.

Entry number 7 (of 9) in Donald Jacks Bartholomew Bandy series (Canadian First World War air ace), set - this time - in India, in the mid 1920s (1925, to be precise).

Having - inadvertently - previously saved the life of Prince Khoosie of the state of Jhamjarh, this novel starts with Bandy travelling to that continent to help them set up their own air force: an air force that is viewed with some misgivings by the (British) powers-that-be, who are convinced that it will be used against them and who refuse to heed any warnings about an uprising that is planned by another Indian state, even going so far as to take their side against Jhamjarh.

As things turn out, of course, the British government have it all backwards …


As I've said before, I found the quality of these novels to have declined in direct proportion to their settings: for my money, the earlier books (set during and just after WW1) are far superior to these later instalments. Having said that, I did find this one to be more enjoyable than its immediate predecessor, with a few laugh-out-loud moments and a further insight into just how Bandy's First World War experiences have affected him
