Mild spoilers: This was just wonderful. It is a joy to see so many wonderful parts of the original series in well-done live action. Of course, they couldn't perfectly recreate the original series episode by episode, so things are different this time. Some of the original episodes are missing, some have been mixed together, all broken down and rebuilt to create a solid recreation of the Avatar story. Some of the changes will be unwelcome to some, some will be well received. I think this retelling of the story did a disservice to king Bumi, but made Characters like Suki, Gyatso, and Zhao much more compelling and interesting. Hell, they even make Firelord Ozai sympathetic at times. I also feel that the middle few episodes drop the ball a little bit, leading to a slightly tangled and lut-of-place narrative. There so much that needs to be established, while keeping the narrative within the same lines as the original. As such, some elements are mixed together in unsatisfying ways. That being said, the first two to three episodes were absolutely stellar and it sticks the landing. The retelling of the original story is new, different, and sometimes a little awkward, but overall very well done. And the performances! Gordon Cormier and Kiawentiio both do excellent jobs capturing their characters, but never really shine. Ian Ousley absolutely steals the show sometimes, giving masterful performance as Sokka and adding to the character. And Paul Sun-Hyung Lee and Dallas Liu both give absolutely wonderful perfomances as General Iroh and Prince Zuko, both fully capturing the nuances of their characters. And shout out to Ken Leung for bringing a new level of Charisma and Madness to admiral Zhao, a surprisingly entertaining interpretation of the character. Watch this and enjoy it. Don't take it too seriously. It's not the original show, it's its own interpretation. And it's a lot of fun. It's wonderful to see the world of Avatar brought to life in this way, and I can't wait to see more.

I think people are being too harsh on this. It was just a good fun superhero romp. The story was good. The main dynamic between the three leads was excellent, and what holds the movie together. The interplay between the characters was great and I think each character was written really well. Nick Fury largely acted as comedic relief but it was hilarious and it worked. The plot was rushed at times. I heard this movie was cut down a lot and it sort of shows. Sometimes things just happened or were explained really quickly. Things can suddenly change out of nowhere, and you just kind of have to role with it. The villain was a bit forgettable, but on the better side of forgettable. Her plan was big in scale and it was cool to see it play out in a sci-fi/superhero movie. Her backstory, from her own perspective, was interesting and could have made a good villain of her, but it was brushed over way too quickly. The visuals ranged from ok to excellent. There were bits of nice cinematography here and there and the visual effects were good for the most part. There were also some great fight scenes that played with the story of the movie really well, though they were on the edge of being a bit to fast to follow. Didn't notice the score music much but the movie had a good soundtrack, can't complain there. The main drive of this movie is it's three leads. They work really well together and I feel like this adds to their stories really well. I'm excited to see them again. Nick Fury was a great addition, as were the Khans. This movie was really just the writers putting some good characters together and having them bounce off each other, and then putting superhero story over it, and that's ok, cause it was a lot of fun. 7.5/10 They made Flerkins funny once again

MINOR SPOILERS: This was Guardians of the Galaxy 3. It wasn't as massive and as grand and conclusive as I think a lot of people expected, but it was a very good GotG 3. I think it told Rockets story exceptionally well, and helped build a couple characters really well, but also on occasion did a little of a disservice to some other characters. The action was great, the CGI was amazing, and I loved the insanity of the villain. One warning though, this movie has some rather disturbing imagery. It's not overtly horrifying, but I wouldn't bring young kids to this. Overall, while not exactly what I expected, this was a really fun time, and I can't wait to see where some of these characters end up next

This was so much fun! All of the characters were absolutely great, the action, the comedy, the story were all absolutely great. The writing almost pushed things too far but managed to stay just right. The only downside I could remember when walking out was a certain scene with slightly off CGI. Really reminds me of Bullet Train - if you liked that, you’ll like this. Go see this, so they can make a sequel with more Xenk

This was a ton of fun. Probably my fav ant man movie. Sure, the jokes were a bit much and one certain character definitely sours any scenes he in. But most of the jokes land well, and this movie has a rather good story, leading to some insanely high stakes and tense moments. Visually quite good, though there is an unavoidably large amount of cgi. Jonathan Majors absolutely stole the show and was terrifying and maniacal as Kang, and Paul Rudd was amazing, especially towards the end. Also, the ending had a wonderful touch of dread. Overall, a really fun time, exactly what I expected from an Ant-Man movie, though surprisingly serious and tense at times. Maybe that’s why some of the jokes didn’t land

Absolutely loved it. The movie plays out in a way that asks you to look at every possibility and constantly change how you view it, but a lot of the pieces are there early on. You’re not going to solve the mystery in the first hour, and you do kind of need to let things play out, but the movie gives the viewers heaps of space to speculate on every angle. The movie went a bit more intense and off the rails towards the ending but still reached a satisfying conclusion. The movie also keeps consistent running call backs, like the hourly “Dong” and the idea of “smashing things”. People will find things to not like in this movie, and that’s fair. It doesn’t play out the way everyone would want, and it’s not perfect. But it sets up a lot of engaging threads, plays with them for a while, and then ends with a big middle finger to someone in particular. Overall, a really fun time and one that I look forward to rewatching, as this movie is quite the puzzle. To quote Glass Onion, “it’s so dumb, it’s brilliant”

Overall, certainly not a bad movie. Tells some really great stories, has great characters and everything that a good movie needs, while also being a good tribute to Chadwick Boseman. However, this movie is just too long. It get's kind of dragged down by things that don't need to be involved. Furthermore, some of the characters act and react in unpredictable and strange ways. Overall, I'd say about 60% of this movie is a 9 out of 10, while the other 40% is a 5 out of 10

Wow, this movie was fun. After leaving the theatre, I almost immediately wanted to rewatch it. There are a couple of things that really drag it down, not much. And the parts of this movie that don't drag it down are absolutely amazing. I could not stop laughing throughout most of the movie. This movie was just so much fun, and I would recommend it to anyone who just wants to go to the cinema and have a good time (though it might be too violent for some).

If you've never played a Metroid game but you're interested in Metroid Dread... I absolutely, 100% recommend it. I've never played a Metroid game, though I've played Metroidvania's before, like Hollow Knight and The Messenger. I was absolutely blown away by how amazing this game is. There's so much to do, So much exploring. The boss fights are some of the coolest, most stunning, and most challenging boss fights I've ever experienced. The game is surprisingly cinematic. I've really enjoyed the story so far, despite having no experience with the franchise. Honestly, Even if I finish it quickly, I'm gonna be playing this for a while. I want to try a no-death run and that's gonna take a lot of practice. Funniest of all, I'm now super super excited for Metroid Prime 4. To anyone considering getting this game, just do it. I cannot recommend it enough. - From, A new Metroid fan

I see this movie getting a few bad reviews and I strongly disagree. This film was a lot of fun and very gripping. Very funny and honestly really good action. The plot flowed well (For the most part). One complaint is that some of the "5 musketeers" seemed too under-developed to care about. I think people are giving this movie bad reviews because it doesn't quite stand up to the other two. But looking at this movie on it's own, It was well worth watching
