A good, but underwhelming sequel.
A good film, an expansion to the Potterverse, providing more background the beloved wizarding world of Harry Potter.

While the first film in this series was good, this film contained more nods to characters from the Harry Potter saga, which added absolutely nothing to the story, not so far anyway.

A good film, with some impressive acting from Johnny Depp, though not overly memorable overall.

"Five volumes of sheer bliss. There’s almost nothing fiction can offer that isn’t in this book: an 18th Century, post-modern, Zen, worldly, otherworldly, gorgeous, funny, sorrowful, gripping, saga of a large, staggeringly wealthy Qin Dynasty family. Stunningly well translated, (the first three volumes by David Hawkes, the final two by John Minford, Hawkes’ son-in-law). It takes a while (or it did me) to keep the many, many characters straight, but it’s definitely worth the trouble."

Hey, it's me again, with more trouble, I'm afraid.

I've found two authors that should be merged. As always, I can't give you the author links, just a link to one of the books listed for them. The main one is first, and the one that should be merged is second. The author is Sophie Davis.

MAIN - https://smashbomb.com/s/alice-anonymous-project-scion

TO BE MERGED - https://smashbomb.com/s/hunted-talented-saga-3

Thank you!

Going down hill with each new film
....and still they try to pad out another 2 hour film with about 30mins of story! The 3 films could have been condensed into 2 longer and better films easily. It's too predictable and for all the build up to the big battle it barely lasts a few minutes and it has too much posturing between Jacob and Edward. This Saga is really only going to appeal to teenage girls at this rate.

The Mutant Saga Begins
So begins my journey in rewatching the entire X-men series in glorious 4K.

Though it may be 19 years old this movie is still as exhilarating today as it was then,from the special effects to the performances of mckellen and stewart as the leaders of the two different groups of mutants.This film paved the way for so many of the superhero movies we love today (namely the MCU)
