Kids with powers and no adult supervision
I really like the premise of this book. While we've seen stories that include an area being blocked off from the rest of the world by a dome like barrier, there are other things going on that make this original and different from similar stories. The kids are acquiring powers that allow them to do all sorts of things from being able to move at the speed of light to being able to heal any injury which adds something else to this story. The animals have also mutated in the form of talking wolves, flying snakes, etc. The kids are having to learn how to form a functioning society and fend for themselves since anyone 15 and over has disappeared from town. While all of this is happening, the fight between Sam and Caine for power and leadership holds your interest and keeps you reading. I will definitely be reading book 2.

I loved this film, and as spiderman is my favourite hero im glad that this was done great.
Iron man didnt steal the show, it only added more depth and created more space for story telling.
I love that he is not straight away brilliant with his powers, just like the rest of the MCU with there new powers comes a learning curve.
If the learning curve is falling through the roof as ironman, or falling through a shop window as captain america. spider man nails this with his swing into the floor.
I would like to see some more villians, spidermans villians are the most creative that it would be interesting

I really enjoyed this sequel that I had been waiting years for. The animation in the original is good but somehow they got even better for the sequel.

The plot was interesting and it was nice to see how the Parrs dealt with life after the events of the first movie. And seeing the kids actually saving the day and taking lead, rather than only helping.

I liked getting to see Helen take a bigger superhero role while getting to see Robert connect with the kids, who had their own normal kid problems not related to powers, mostly (for Violet and Dash at least). And Jack-Jacks powers and interactions with Edna were a delight.

I did not like the bright flashing lights that got the movie the seizure warnings. Just looking at them was painful, causing a headache, and that's without having issues with seizures.

But overall, I really enjoyed this movie.
