Story development
Building upon what already exists
Everything I wanted!
As we have already seen with the likes of Disney's live actin remake of Cinderella etc. Beauty and the Beast recaptures the magic of the animated film we all know and love. However, it achieves greatness by building upon the already familiar story and filling in holes left by its predecessor. The film was fun, enchanting and emotional.

Based upon the ride at Disneyworld/Disneyland, Pirates of the Caribbean is a fun film. The action is good, and I love the combination of Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley. The story was well put together. Disney definitely tried to recreate the magic with the further POTC films, and other films based upon rides.
This film definitely made pirates popular to the extreme, which was alright with me.

Like a simplified version of magic the gathering, you build a deck out of two factions and compete with other players for victory points, which are acquired by destroying bases. Once you learn how to play the game is fairly fast paced and would be great for players the age of twelve and up. There is a plethora of expansions adding new factions and bases

I will admit that I had no idea what I was reading when I started this book. I liked the cover and thought to check it out. So glad that I did. The story was spectacular and the elements coming together throughout made the story seem cohesive. The main character Ambry grows so much during the story! A definate read if you are into magic, romance, and adventure

An obsessive fantasy show filled with romance, sadness, magic and more. The strongest part are the characters and the relationships they build with each other and the audience. Within the first few episodes they grip you and you stick with them throughout it all whilst routing for your favourite allegiances. I feel as though it could have ended a few seasons before it did but the content was still great.

Filler film for a wider franchise
I love the wizarding world.
But this film felt like it was unnecessary and a filler for the wider world. The character development made me sad for the history of some characters. Breaking down and twisting personalities seemingly for pointless plot development. Maybe this will go further in future films.
Also ... No really amount of fantastic beasts In this movie.

Don't make this book a hidden thing
I absolutely loved this book. I liked the characters. It was a story of midlife with just enough magic invoked to make it a fantasy. How a man who has English as his second language can write something so spectacular I will never
know. Clever man. Now where are those stone walls...

Okay for YA Fantasy.
This wasn’t the best YA Fantasy series for magic and stuff but it wasn’t awful. I’ll give season two a try hoping that they have a better budget so the series gets better. It wasn’t bad, but it just wasn’t “amazing” if you’re bored I would definitely give it a Binge one weekend. There’s better out there but this wasn’t a waste of time.
