Great character (1 more)
Loved reading about his rise to power, attitude tactics
I have to say I am not a reader. Not by a long-shot. Since high school, I can probably count the number of books I have read on one hand. I know there are a lot of book reviewers out there, and I wish I was like you, but I chose movies as a passion instead.
Having said all that, I really couldn't put this one down. It was captivating in the Star Wars universe. I find Thrawn to be extremely interesting, multi-faceted, and treacherous. His scheming and manipulations are epic.
It probably took me a lot longer to finish than most voracious readers, but it was well worth my time.

So much fun
This may look like a kids film, but it’s just as appealing to adults, especially those of us that are young at heart!
The animation is fantastic, and the jokes are nonstop throughout the entire film, even with Batman narrating the opening credits. The few songs included are funny and so catchy and clever. There’s a lot of references here back to other Batman media (including the shark repellent from the Adam West days) as well as a lot of characters from outside of the DC universe. Not many other films could get away with fitting in gremlins, Sauron and Voldemort! What had me in stitches the most was the characters voicing the gun shot noises - genius!

High school read
I first read this in High school as required reading. It was on the banned book list. No one seems to know that even existed today. Well it did. and this book was on there. But I had a great English teacher who made us read it and my mom whole heartedly approved. Good ol' mom and my teacher. This is a timeless classic, with a lot of childhood nostalgia. Make your teens read it, read it with them, and do a book review at home. This will help your kids understand the English language, give insight into reading comprehension, and is very interesting actually.

Drax became annoying
I enjoyed the movie, but I don't think it's one of the better marvel movies. I thought the first one was better, but there was a lot to like. Chris Pratt is still one of the best blossoming movie stars. Kurt Russell is a treasure, and he really gets to shine. Yondu steals the show. There's a lot of pathos in the movie, but it does drag. The bits with rocket and groot with the Ravengers really drag. Every scene with Drax almost hurt to watch. I liked him in the first movie, but they absolutely beat the joke into the ground with his character. Still a fun enough movie, probably won't see it again

Completely unnecessary
Theres a fun sense of irony with the title of this film, in the sense that it is actually entirely forgettable. You’ll never go out of your way to watch this again.
Let’s be honest, this kind of plot has been done numerous times before and has been done much better (Fatal Attraction?). It isn’t particularly unique or shocking and there’s nothing in this that’s even that creepy. It’s no wonder Katherine Heigl hasn’t done a lot of work recently, as her acting in this is atrocious and so wooden. She may not have had a lot to work with in the script, but it could’ve been so much better. And the sinister ending was just plain silly and unnecessary.
