Well a film I was definitely looking forward to. The original Matrix was ground breaking and blew audiences away with so much.
This 4th installment just doesn't have that impact. A lot of similar themes to the original Trilogy resurface again. At times almost feeling like a reboot rather than anything new. The action scenes are very good especially towards the end, but the overall story of events from the last film to this one don't offer up much new content or ideas. Enjoyable for fans but still not a patch on the original.

Excessive sexy time... like really... in the middle of a war? (0 more)
I love this trilogy, but I don’t know what to think about this one, it was too slow in the beginning then too rushed at the end and there where a lot of questions unanswered. I just felt empty when I finished it.

A fairly standard Big Finish outing offers very little NEW insight into Hex and Ace, serving up (yet another) war time historical, which seems to be Hex's lot in life. It's not that it's bad, in fact, the lack of any alien/supernatural twist is a bit refreshing. It unspools and then it's over and you think, oh, okay.

There is a lot of potential in this series. I look at this book as a set up for the genre bending that we have promised. This is a fantastic read – I recommend it to all readers of fantasy.

fantastic fighting game with great visuals that is a lot of fun to play casually but with enough depth to master. The new Multiverse mode will keep you playing for a long time while you build the perfect Batman.

A Despicable Story... And Not In The Good Way
This is the worst of the Minion franchise, The film was funny and a lot of the humour was slapstick which i enjoy.
The story for the characters was not very good and the Gru & Dru story was just wierd and not funny

So the first half of this book was a little slow for me, but one I got towards the ending, wow! The tears just couldn't stop. Such a touching story and an interesting way of writing it and getting it out there. This book hit a lot of tender topics but all in all an amazing book.

An interesting Sci-fi film
A very well made film with some great actors. It's interesting but the way the story pans out spoiled it for me and made it quite predictable. Seemed a lot like @2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) for my liking as well.

It wasn't quite what i was expecting, being a massive fan of the musical. It's definitely not as light and fun as the musical - it's a lot darker and deeper. However I did enjoy it as a standalone novel. The twists from the original story are so clever and its much more emotional and also quite political.

Turn rejection from a bad thing to a not-bad thing
It reminded me a lot of Gretchen Rubin's "The Happiness Project" in that it integrated his story with research he came across during his journey. While it was enjoyable, that aspect of it was unexpected and, at times, kind of boring. Overall though, highly recommended.
