MCU
Another one of the heroes introduced into the MCU who will be a part of the Avengers. Thor was cast perfectly and I find it cool that Noah Synderguard of the Ny Mets could fill in as double if really needed lol. The story answers a lot of questions espically about the Teseract that we learn of in the first Captain America movie. I love each person who was cast in this movie and they all played them to a T. S.H.I.E.L.D is better reprsented in this movie and we learn much ore about them and about another avenger who has very small part.

Well written
Best DC movie since Dark Knight series
For once DC put a movie together that was well done all the way around. Story starts as Dianna was growing up watching the Amazon warriors train and hoping to learn their ways one day. We watch as she develops from a cute innocent little kid into a very innocent young woman. After rescuing Captain Steve from his plane crash Dianna sets out on a journey to stop Aries and bring the world to peace. Beautiful fight scenes and solid acting make this movie a great step in the right direction for DC!

Okay mid-period Laurel and Hardy short. Stan and Ollie are hired by regular antagonist Walter Long to help kidnap men to crew his allegedly-haunted ship; perhaps inevitably, they end up press-ganging themselves. Better not mention the ghost to the captain...
About as close to over-plotted as you can get with a L&H movie; some good stuff near the start but it gets a bit busy as it goes on - too much story, not enough slapstick. Concludes by recycling the (slightly gruesome) closing gag from the same year's Going Bye-Bye! Has its moments, but not as many as some other films from the boys.

This film was a trip to the cinema worthy. Margot Robbie was on top form and a pleasure to watch her got batshit on the streets of Gotham. A pretty good romp of a film generally. Plenty of great action sequences and some good jokes. Will Smith gave a tremendous performance but felt he shouldn't have been the focus point of this film. I could have completely done without Jared Leto's Joker: completely ridiculous and over the top. I could have done with a lot more Killer Croc and Cara Delevigne's June Moon was a surprising addition she did a great job.

"Battle, Storm, Shipwreck, Disease - what were the chances he would never come back again?"

Chronologically the 5th entry in CS Foresters (probably) most famous creation, this is also the 8th entry by publication date, and the 1st entry in the compilation 'Captain Hornblowe R.N."

Set early during his career - he's only just taken up command - this novel covers a lot of ground (both literally and figuratively), starting with Hornblower and Maria making their way down to Portsmouth, his command of Nelson's water-borne funeral procession and then the cruise of his 22-gun sloop 'The Atropos' into the Mediterranean, and the various myriad circumstances that befall said cruise!
