My favourite Marvel Heros at it again
I absolutely LOVED this film. Actually, I think I enjoyed it more than the first, which I didn't think was possible! It is brilliant, funny, witty - ( Baby Groot is adorable.) Since having seen this film, I have had the soundtrack on repeat - it is an instant mood booster, I have been quoting it non-stop, and I would gladly watch it again and again.

Not bad for an origin movie
Not a bad movie, did a good job of portraying the origins of Diana (if I'm gonna compare it to anything it would be a cross between the first movies of Captain America and Thor).
I could have used a more ominous villain, albeit the movie built well and provided reasoning for pretty much every plot choice.
Best DC movie of the current continuity with a view to building the franchise (still a way behind Marvel IMO despite having the more iconic characters).
All in all a solid and very enjoyable movie.

Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
2018 | Action, Sci-Fi
An extremely amazing film with an ending they tell you is gonna happen from the beginning, yet you don't believe it. Characters that get the most development are Thor, Vision, Scarlett Witch, Doctor Strange, Gamorra, Thanos, and the Hulk, which, when you think about it, is still quite a lot.

The ending makes you really feel like something has changed in the world. The acting is great. The special effects are really good. This is the first time I have ever noticed the score in a Marvel film. Go see it as soon as possible in theaters. This is an actual cultural event.

A piece of literary beauty.
What can I say to describe a book that had me entranced from the first to the last page? It made me laugh, it had my holding my breath with anticipation, and it made me shove the book under my husbands and children’s noses to show them the meandering words of Dead Papa Toothwort as they crawled across the page. It’s just a glorious book!
I marvel at the mind of someone who can write something as original and beautiful as this - it’s poetry in prose form, and I loved reading every word.

The limited work of Enchantress
Don't know why it got slated
If you follow the comics or some of the games there is a lot of references to Escape from Arkham, admittedly some of the actors were for the sake of the name though taking it purely to the story it is close to the style of the graphic novels.

Rather than watching it expecting happy shiny marvel and the dark Justice League stories approach with an open mind. You will be pleasantly surprised

A sci-fi treat!
Marvel has the talent to make better sequels, Guardians of the Galaxy vol 1. Was a great movie but vol 2. Is even better. Although there were some holes in the plot but only tad ones that need to filled and hopefully in vol 3 we will get that. New characters that need more attention as they seem to be a big part of this universe like Stallones character. But all in all I was pleased and entertained and I could watch it over and over.

I fell in love with the TV adaptation. The cast, the chemistry, the journey and the incredible, breathtaking setting made me desperate to visit Scotland. Now, having finally read the novel, my love and admiration for the series has grown. My desire to see Scotland and visit all the places Claire visited has only strengthened. And of course, my love for Jamie Fraser is greater. Not that it was difficult. He's a marvel! I absolutely loved Outlander. I loved every word. Truly, it was impossible to put down. I can't wait to read Dragonfly in Amber!

Marvel comedy-SF adventure that gambles big-time (doesn't feature a single character most people will have heard of), wins in spades due to great cast chemistry, effervescent script, and willingness to do something a bit different.

Motley crew of space ruffians meet in prison, find common cause (sort of), must stop would-be despot from causing untold devastation with plot device of ultimate power. Banging 70s and 80s soundtrack, obviously; looks fabulous too. Also strikes a welcome blow for inclusivity and representation of minorities (finally a film includes characters that raccoons and trees can identify with).

Fun battle app with Disney characters
This is practically the same game as Star Wars Heroes and Marvel Strike Force (both also owned by Disney). You build a team of characters and fight five on five to level up and collect more characters. As compared to the other games, this one awards fewer raid passes, so you have to play levels you’ve already played repeatedly to farm materials you need to level up your characters. There are more opurtunities to pit your team of characters against other players teams instead of just battling the computer.

Cheese Factor
Fun
Escapism
Dark Shadows is a glorious tribute to the gothic soap opera of the same name. It is deliciously camp, cheesy and extravagant - in short it is the perfect movie to watch from under the duvet whilst steadfastly avoiding the January chill outside.
Johnny Depp (disclaimer I’m biased I think the man is a marvel) is everything you need in this role, fun Fact - did you know that as a child he used to dress up as this character for Halloween.
It is the most technically superb film of all times but it’s fun and sassy.
