100% Spoiler-free Strong Consideration: Please go into this movie without watching any of the trailers, media and promotional videos; TOTAL MEDIA BLACKOUT - enter with zero expectations and I promise you that you would be more than glad after the credits. I did and it was worth it. Characters; Being the 32nd film in the MCU, it has been a long time since I actually cared and felt so emotionally invested in the characters. There's been more new dimensions and life added to them from the 2014 & 2017 films that I really appreciate the characters coming this far. Story; The themes and messages that the narrative sets in place delivers throughout, and ties in all together perfectly up until the end; highlighting nuances with subplots that does not stray away from the main root of the story. Summary; I would dare say that this would be one of the best Marvel films produced, and I'm glad that James Gunn payed careful attention in writing and directing this finale for the GOTG Vol3. Must watch 10/10

10/10 No spoilers ahead. Cyberpunk Edgerunners is peak punk anime. I went into this blind without any potential spoilers from trailers, video reviews etc, just with the prerequisite understanding of what the world of Cyberpunk is from the game (and you don't need to play it either to enjoy this show as it's a standalone story) Every episode is dense packed with plot progression and character development with not a moment to waste; with hyper stylized from Studio Trigger's unique animation direction and language. With a reported budget of least $3.4M - It is essentially a textbook example of what could happen if you have a team that has gone mad with creativity and the resources to match it. I really hope that this would be the industry standard set with League's Arcane for future collaborative animes to come.

Genuinely cannot relate to the masses that praise this movie highly, either to related (race or religion) or unrelated reasons (actors involved, etc). Thematically, it's somewhat sujectively cohesive, however, for every step it takes forward in story and character motives and development, it takes a lot more steps back with every thing else that fails to suspend the viewers' disbelief. Personally, I do not like shaky camera work in action films - it seems like a cheap cop-out for poor choreography and cinematography direction, but don't get me wrong, it does work at times; definitely not in the case of this movie. It's nauseating, tiring and annoying. Some unfortunate poor bits that bugs my viewing of the movie is the off-putting dialogues directives from both parties of the Englishmen and Malays, costume design language & direction, set pieces, uncanny lighting in certain scenes, and a lot more that I can't be asked to name. The bit that I really couldn't get on about the movie is the constant indoctrination that the mentioned race is the most valued and privileged, no one else matters - albeit, it was most likely time-accurate. Regardless, it was too much to swallow and digest in a tasteful manner.
