Gail (4 KP) rated First Sight, The Deal Prequel (The Deal #1.5) in Books
Jun 4, 2018
Bethany Drake has sworn off men and nothing her friend says can change that. Even though the man Lizzy points to for her one night stand is drool worthy. She wouldn’t settle no matter that he looked delicious in his suit. She had no idea that her plans and thoughts were going to be changed for a lifetime.
The author really knew how to get you caught up in this prequel. Making sure you go in for more and read the next book. I was hooked when I started to read this book and didn’t atop until I reached the end.
The chemistry between the characters will have you fanning yourself just from the word play. Let’s not forget the mind blowing loving. Adam was perfect and was ready to accept every flaw Beth had. He was an alpha when she need it and sweet and tender when the time called for it. I mean the man could convenience her out her comfort zone in seconds.
Beth was my perfect woman. She’s confident and independent. Her only flaw was her blindness in her growing feeling for Adam. You will most definitely want to pick up this book for your book boyfriend list.

Good voice cast (3 more)
CGI was terrific
Great adaption to the video games
You don't need to know about resident evil
I prefer the more regular zombies in my opinion (1 more)
I only liked a couple of characters, rest were kinda boring
One of the best video game movie adaptions
This was a lot of fun. 1 of the best adaptions if a video game and also 1 of the best resident evil movies too.
The CGI was great and I'd love the next reboot of the movie franchise to be done like this rather than live action. For a CGI movie the shots were great, I loved the little parts where it felt like a first person view.
The action was great and the acting was good but I only liked a couple of the characters and I do prefer regular zombies to the parasites type sadly.
I can see myself watching this again. I heard this was a prequel to resident evil 6 so I do like this ties into the video games more than the live action does. It feels like a standalone movie so you don't necessarily need to have watched other movies or played the games before which is good.

A decent Transformers film for a change
I dont really know much about the original Transformers other than a vague recollection of watching the cartoon as a child. However for once we actually have a decent Transformers films on our hands - just goes to show what you can achieve without Michael Bay at the helm.
This is a fairly good 80s buddy style film, it reminded me a lot of ET which I suppose isn't a surprise seen as Spielberg has had some involvement in this too. Hailee Steinfeld is always charismatic and endearing in any film she's in and her character's sweet relationship with Bee really makes this film. And the 80s soundtrack is marvellous. It's amazing what a good soundtrack can do for a film. But don't get me wrong this film isn't perfect. John Cena for starters really can't act and should never be cast in anything, Charlie's family and story are ridiculously cliched and the plot itself drags a little especially during the middle and it's beyond predictable. This however is a million times better than the other over complicated action messes that were the other Transformers films, although as much as it's a fairly fun and entertaining film, it's a prequel we didn't necessarily need to see.

Very Good Prequel
Contains spoilers, click to show
Whether this game is "canon" or not, they did a good job telling this story. I am not a hard core Walking Dead fan, but I watched enough to know what was going on in the game. This story covers the adventures of Lee and Clementine. The two go through many good times and through some bad times. As with the Telltale series, your decisions and actions decide the outcome of the game to an extent. Lee and Clementine find different friends along the way that help them get through the apocalyptic world. They also run across some not so friendly people. For instance a family that turned to cannibalism to survive...yikes! Lee protects Clem and Clem protects Lee. Of course you heart is ripped out when Lee is attacked by a walker and bitten only to get infected. In his dying breath he tells Clem to stay strong and be smart. You can also have a negative effect on Clem and your friends. It's all up to you. You even run into Glenn at one point. In the end...I recommend this game, especially if you are a fan of the Walking Dead series

A little too out there
The first Cube film for me was always an underrated low budget cult classic, and definitely a precursor for the likes of Saw etc. The original was a great idea with just enough maths and science to make it believable and not completely ridiculous. Sadly the same can’t be said about this sequel.
They’ve gone far too over the top on the science that whilst it does make some sense, it makes the whole idea of the cube a completely silly and ridiculous idea. And the ending itself as far as the cube goes is just laughably bizarre. There’s also the general plot and story, which seems to have left out all of the bits from the original that made it interesting - like the scary traps and numbered doors. Some of the characters are interesting, others are just carbon copies from the original or completely pointless and forgettable. You can tell they’ve got a bigger budget with the amount of CGI in this, it’s just a shame it’s rather poor and lacks the punch of the physical traps used in the original.
This is a rather sorry excuse for a sequel, and not one I’d recommend watching. The third film and prequel Cube Zero is a much better watch.
