Unexpectedly fun
For a film series that has had its ups and downs, going into Dark Phoenix, I had my doubts but came pit of the film feeling it was better than my expectations.


 Story wise it handled the Dark Phoenix Saga better than the last time it was used in X-Men: The Last Stand. However for being the last film in the X-Men Saga, it didn't feel like the end it felt like there was more to come when there won't.


Also the only downside story wise was the villain of the film who wasn't really needed and could have just been Jean Grey.


A good film overall but I'm now looking forward to seeing Professor X alongside Thor and Spider-Man

Wow. Just Wow. I've loved each movie in this series progressively more, and Rise of Skywalker was no exception. The fast pace kept me engaged, the twists and turns were exciting, and I loved the character development. I think that this was a really good movie to end the Skywalker saga. I loved it and I will go watch it again.

This was a really enjoyable saga and Mandanna is a skilled storyteller.

Despite the cultural setting of the book the characters were very real and easy to identify with and Mandanna enabled you to sympathise with each one even amongst their pain and unforgiveness.

Tiger Hills is a great debut novel and I look forward to reading more from Mandanna in the future.

Enjoyed the final chapter of the Infinty Saga. Definitely a fitting end. (4 more)
Jake Gyllenhaal (probably spelt it wrong) is brilliant as Mysterio.
Very amusing! Daughter loved the quips from MJ.
No spoilers here... But the scene when spidey gets disorientated... Loved it! Very cleverly executed.
As usual: some great call backs to characters from precious marvel movies.
None. No criticism! (0 more)
Thank you Smash Bomb!
Received the DVD from Smash Bomb giveaway. Super pleased to have won it. Delivered really quickly as well.
The film itself... I watched it at the cinema and even though I'd already seen it, like most marvel movies, was more than worth another watch.
Storyline was great to finish off the infinity Saga.
Actors were brilliant. Especially loved Jake Gyllenhaal as Mysterio.
Enjoyed the callbacks to previous marvel movies and felt the film was executed brilliantly.

A great edition to the saga
Here we have a great prequel to a saga I love and it was done well. In this book we are taken back to the early days of the Hunget Games, with the turmoil of the war still felt. Instead of seeing the Games from the perspective of not some District reble, but the Capital born Cornelious Snow.
A little inside into his early and transformative years was refreshing and made me want to dive right back into the trilogy.
One thing Susan Collins does so well is write protagonists who are far from perfect and borderline unlikeable, yet from Katniss to Snow, somehow, we still end up routing for them.
Well worth a read, but it is definitely better read after The Hunger Games, when it will be truly apriciated.
Get ready to gasp!
