It's Batman vs Superman (1 more)
Great action scenes
Doesn't do the characters justice
I saw this with an open mind after hearing it got awful reviews. I'm not a huge comic fan, so don't know how accurate it is to the comics. Which seemed to be a big issue for some. Afterwards I can see why it was a disappointment. You expect awesome things with these characters, but the plot seemed weak to me. I was underwhelmed with a film that had so much potential.

What an awesome book! This book tells the story of the Rosati family who live in Tuscany. It alternates back & forth between 1944 & 1955. During WWII, the Rosatis were seen by the local villagers as Nazi sympathizers & many in their village grew to despise them. Then it jumps ahead to '55 as what remains of the family is stalked by a merciless murder who slits the family members throats & the extracts their hearts. All the characters' lives weave together in strange ways. This book will hook you from start to finish.

Idris Elba as Roland (1 more)
McConaughey as Walter
The movie was engrossing, at no point did I get that 'how long have I been here?' feeling.
Idris Elba was awesome, as expected. The sets, even when otherworldly, seemed very realistic and not out of place.
The story had some really great and emotional moments.
The movie was self-contained and could be stand-alone, but I hope it won't be. There was an after credits sound bite that definitely leads me to think there will be more.

Sums up all my childhood movies
Awesome adventurous kids, a daring quest, and being set in 1980s America, pretty much sums up all childhood movies into one. The Goonies is an absolute classic coming of age movie of kids trying to stop a rich developer buying up property and splitting up the young friends. Their way is to find mythical treasure via a map from a so-called legend. Along the way are some good old fashioned villains, some challenges and a pirate ship. Still watch it every Christmas.

The Craggus (360 KP) rated The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part (2019) in Movies
Feb 13, 2019
Not everything about The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part (2019) is awesome but, as the movie itself is at pains to point out, that's okay too.
The metatextual flourish that crowned the first movie becomes something of a distracting liability this time around, as you find yourself constantly trying to read the ongoing adventures for their real-world subtext. Thankfully it’s pretty artfully done with the developments of Bricksburg’s population neatly mimicking the early teenage obsessions of darkness and angst in storytelling...

Meh. Not something I would recommend
I received an email with the ARC information for this book a few days after I finished watching Aquaman, naturally, I had to jump at the chance to read this. This graphic novel has some awesome graphics and the plot line was fun to see through Mera’s eyes. Unfortunately, the beginning of the graphic novel was difficult to follow and once you got over that hump, it was way too predictable. I wish that there was something that would set this book apart but I just wasn’t impressed.

Awesome sets, Sfx. Really has a grand scale feel to it. (1 more)
Some great action scenes and neat twists
The best Maze Runner film!
This is definitely the best of the 3 films. I thought the first was ok and the second one very average. This however is very entertaining with some great action scenes. The grand scale of the film looks very impressive from the locations and Sfx. The storyline has some nice twists and turns as well. I've not read the books, so can't compare. Overall a solid ending to the franchise.

This movie has inspired so much in the cinematic universe, and was just a really fun time in the theaters. plus here are some really great alternate movie posters. Enjoy, and if you haven't seen it... get to it....
