*Vibe spoiler* There's plenty of reviews that tell you the story of the movie, so trying to avoid that here. BP:WF overall undertakes the wholesome yet sombre task of facing death with culture, familial emotions and the notion of still being a superhero movie. The movie strives to commemorate Chadwick Boseman in the most respectful, meaningful and memorable ways, something they strongly succeeded in doing. Generally you'll find movies eschew real life tragedy and attempt to focus on the movie. This movie had major undertones of dealing with death and how it affects people, namely family. Angela Bassett as Ramonda, delivers some powerful moments in this movie with riveting diatribes of the world eating away at her life and country. It's a sensational watch with just the right amount of humour for a movie with morose underpinnings. It only lost a star in my opinion because there were too many moments where we experienced emotion but the director either rushed through it or failed to provide enough music/tracking to create a poignant enough effect. This is something BP did in the first movie really well, with African chanting during Dora Milaje fights and the tribal instrument during important moments. This movie made such moments feel a little hollow, which detracts ever so slightly from the connection we feel with the movie and its message. Overall, they've done a spectacular job though, creating a new enemy that's once again not black and white evil (a common trend across the industry since Thanos), but an antagonist you almost relate to. The creativity was masterful, the effort clearly would have been massive with intricate underwater shots. It signs off by making the movie about T'Challa but ensuring that the Black Panther franchise does not suffer a loss of quality and has a fantastic foundation to continue to build on. Very impressed that MCU was able to make this movie not too overbearing with "woke-ism" and focused on themes we are familiar with, by characters who propagate an inclusive industry, as has been the Black Panther success so far. Moreover, a sequel that did not fail. I appreciate the standard.

This was one to relish for those who have played Tekken, especially Tekken 3 which was the first game I ever had bought for me on a console. Absolutely loved watching it, a storyline that was fairly straightforward but has enough in it to keep you interested. Relates to the gameplay a lot with moves, outfits and poses borrowed from the games. Brilliant throwback. Hope season 2 isn't too far away.

More like a remaster of the original game, likely to show off PS5 tech. Not much new, very small campaign and an iota of the world of the original Spiderman game. Didn't realise that and wondered how they made a new game so quickly, so was slightly disappointed. Still, fun to swing around (even though Miles flails like a baby chimp a lot since he's acclimatising to swinging).
