You should definetly watch the TV Show before watching this to get the most out of it! When I first saw the poster for this popular anime back in 2019, the thought that initially came to mind was. “This DOESN’T look like my kind of thing, there’s no way I could possibly like this!” Cut to 2022, and I have rewatched this television show so many times now that I’ve lost count. I considered it a guilty pleasure of mine for the past year and a half actually. Now, I just think it’s a good series overall. The first 3 episodes of the show are the worst episodes in the entire show, and it only goes uphill from there. Quite frankly, romance is really not my thing, nor is the cutesy art style many romance anime like this one have. So when I tell you that I’m a fan of Quintessential Quintuplets, and that I thought the movie was good, it’s NOT because I like bad harem movies from Japan. I can’t call this series that anymore because it’s story, characters, and relationships are all very well developed, fun and interesting. And the characters themselves evolve by the end of the story. It’s not good because the writing is fun bad, it’s just genuinely good writing. By the end of this movie the Quintuplets all evolve past their tropes from the 1st season, and even when the main character, Futarou, picks the girl he likes out of all of them, the story continues to focus equally on all 5 of them and their evolving relationships past the final curtain call. I could be critical about this movie and nitpick what I didn’t like, such as pacing and certain character developments, but how could I? I have rewatched this movie 8 times, after all. I wouldn’t do that if a movie was bad. But I also probably wouldn’t have done it if I hadn’t already watched the show previously. This is definetly a movie YOU NEED context to enjoy. Watching the show before watching this film is a must if you want the most fullfilling experience from it. But I’d better start binging if I were you, this movie is in US Theaters for a limited time ONLY now until this Wednesday Dec 7th.

A lot of people have lotted this game unfairly as one of the worst Lord of the Rings Video games. I disagree. It's certainly unpolished, and has a lot of flaws - like no autosave feature, the, at times, rigid dialogue - but it's still pretty damn fun to play. Many lot the console versions with the PC version, the most well known version. But there are many graphical improvements on the console versions such as improved less blocky looking character models whose mouthes don’t look like squares any more, or just hang open… but even then, it’s still a good game! I love the combat mechanics on the Gamecube/PS2 version! It's super fun to switch between enemy targeting and free camera combat styles. I've played this game multiple times over the years, and each time I get more use to the controls. I love roaming around middle earth in linear styled open world levels, inspired by the Legend of Zelda no less. I never grew up on Zelda, so I never had experience with those games, so when I actually got to playing Ocarina Of Time and Majora's Mask, I was taken aback by how much I enjoyed aspects of The Hobbit more than those two games. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed Zelda, but there are game mechanics that The Hobbit, at times, excels at over those games. Basically, the combat is much more complex than what people give it credit for. Many people’s criticism of this game Can be summed up as “it's too simple”, but it's a much shorter game than Zelda, and it's source material is in and of itself a simple story. One would definitely want more from this game, but what is there is of a substantial quality. It's a fun, comfort fiction, pulp-filled adventure thats short enough to pass the time on the weekend, it's also one of my favorite games. I will say now though, as far as gripes, the last two levels are pretty weak, the second to last one especially. There's nothing wrong with a few puzzles sprinkled throughout, but this one is almost exclusively puzzles, and not the good kind... Another thing that might've served this game well is a tutorial of the combat styles. I found myself not even knowing there was an auto targeting feature, or that to defend you need to auto target and walk backwards, until I fiddled around with the controls a bit. But that's in a long list of things this game could've done better. Still, I can't deny I had, and still have, a lot of fun with this game to this day. Yes, I've played better games now these days, it is no where NEAR perfect, but I found myself enjoying this game more and more with time. Even after playing Games like God Of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, Breath Of The Wild, and Mario Odyssey, I find myself coming back to this odd piece of video game history, and just sitting an afternoon and playing it through. Stranger still is that I've probably played this game more times than any other game I've played over the years.

One of my all-time favorite games! Ignore what people say about the big blue b00bie lady, this game is much more than that. It’s a super fun MetroidVania style souls game that is super accessible to people who don’t play souls games or MetroidVanias. The story is also insteresting and it’s fun to backtrack through certain areas. My only gripe is that at some points backtracking can get a bit tedious, especially on a first play through. By the end of the game, you may find yourself wondering for different around for stuff you missed in order to progress. Still, it’s a pretty fun time when you get down to the gameplay loop of killing stuff with a comically small leaf.

The heck is this, preschool baby time? This doesn’t feel like Jurassic Park At all, more like some manipulative cash grab. The animation is god awful. All of the characters look like Barbie dolls and there’s no weight to the dinosaurs at all. And everything that happens is basically a rehash of Jurassic Parks greatest hits, no creativity here. But also, you would think that a dangerous adventure through pre-Jurassic World would shut down the park immediately. Once again no logic here, but it’s even worse that it’s coming from a TV Y7 version of a PG-13 Movie series.
