Mothergamer (1536 KP) rated Wonder Woman (2017) in Movies
Sep 20, 2017
This movie was everything I ever wanted. I grew up reading the Wonder Woman comic and watching Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman on TV. I was excited for this movie and it delivered. Gal Gadot is wonderful as Wonder Woman. The rest of the cast is great also. The story is interesting and the battle scenes are well done. This whole film was done right and the little girl in me remembered that excitement of seeing Wonder Woman for the first time and how much I loved her and that I love her still.

New way for aliens to be found sort of.
WHat alien movie would be good with out the number 1 alien investigator in Duchovny. Two state college professors come across a meteor that has struck in the middle of the dessert that has an entire alien civilization on it. We see the aliens go from cells to full grown species in very little time and three underdogs have to find a way to destroy the species. Orlando Jones really comes through as the comic relief in a film that I believe to be very underrated.

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.

No character investment (not including Billy!)
Not good, not bad.
From start to finish, the film left me with a feeling of nostalgia for the TV show I grew up watching. Familiar characters were reintroduced in a way adult me can process and understand, while still maintaining its comic book humour (Krispy Kreme, am I right?). However, the end result just left me feeling OK. That is the only word I have to describe the feeling I got by the end of this film.

Well written (1 more)
A mix of humour
Sharp, witty and thrilling
I'm a little late at getting round to watching this, having heard very good reviews about it. It's a great premise a serial killer working in the Miami police dept who targets other killers. It's very witty as well and largely has a darkly comic side to it. The story running through the series though plays out like a top selling thriller novel. It's a great mix that works very well. If you missed it check it out.
Jeremy King (346 KP) rated The Hateful Eight (2015) in Movies

I gave this movie a 6. It was a great movie dont get me wrong (watched it 5 times) but they threw in a narrator half ways threw the the movie. So either have that from the start or dont have it at all. Or make it like a wild west comic and use the format like the warriors. I just felt it was a last moment thing that was thrown together. So if it was not for the narrator it would been a high 7 or even a 8.
Ande Thomas (69 KP) rated Economix: How Our Economy Works (and Doesn't Work), in Words and Pictures in Books
May 30, 2019
Economix is a truly great book that presents the ins and outs of the global economy in a way I've never seen before. It's not <i>just</i> a comic, or a simplified version of economics for kids. It's a genuinely in depth and well researched look at the current state of the economy and how we got here, and why. I would truly recommend this book to anyone who has more than a passing interest in economic policy or questions on why money works the way it does.

A wolvasterpiece
To imagine that this movie is from a comic book is shocking, especially from an iconic character such as the wolverine. Logan has it all and stands on its own, the story was perfectly crafted, the drama was very well felt and the action kicked in all the right places. Hugh Jackmans performance was unbelievably amazing and Patrick Stewart was astonishingly great. This is the wolverine movie that should of been made and you don't even have to be a fan of the genre to love this one.
When their friend's father is robbed of a rare comic book, Nick and Tesla use their new self-built robots to try to find the thief.
Kids will enjoy this one. The characters are better than the first and in keeping with a middle grade novel. The plot is strong and actually threw a twist in there that surprised me.
NOTE: I received an ARC of this book via Amazon's Vine Program.
