Wasted potential on a good idea

What a shame. I didn't have high hopes, but I felt even more disappointed after watching. I don't know Blue Beetle comics much at all. But I do know this movie was made poorly. The actor for the protagonist does well, and so does the supporting cast — kind of. The lady villain was entirely one-sided and had no personality. The battles felt like a weird copy of Iron Man vs Warmonger. The male villain's redemption was awkward. It was so predictable too. Nice try DC, maybe you'll get it next time.

What can I say except Absolute Cinema 🎥 🔥 ✨

I wanted to love this movie, but that didn't happen. The actors did their best with what they were given is my most positive review.

I don't care what anyone else says because this series is great

Since Disney put Star Wars: The Force Awakens in theaters much original story material has been recycled...over and over. Fans critize it a lot, and who can blame them? Star Wars--the original trilogy, anyway--was fresh. The prequels were controversial and trash, except for a few scarce diamonds in the rough. The sequels were supposed to innovate, but the results were subpar. Where I'm going with this is Star Wars hasn't seen a lot of new material, and not for lack of unique material‐-plenty to find in Legends‐-and hasn't seen a refresh in what made the originals so incredible. Family made it so valuable. Star Wars is a success because families love to watch it together. That's why the Mandolorian is golden--it's a family-friendly and action-packed story with plenty of heart and soul. (Won't go into depth on Clone Wars and Rebels series but both hit these marks.) That's why the series Acolyte and Ahsoka are so criticized. Not for a set of "strong female main characters", but because they don't hit the necessary marks to make the show enjoyable for everyone in the family. No one wants to watch a series that has a focus on Force users with purposefully different hairstyles or ANY sexual material (looking at YOU, Acolyte). And, no one wants to watch a bunch of sci-fi witches chant nonsense or listen to endless and useless bureaucracy (looking at YOU, Ahsoka.) Also many of those character lack depth and development, leaving the audience questioning their actions and reactions. Kenobi was just bad. It took a wonderful character and reused old Luke material, which included making him a hermit and erasing his finer qualities which fans love. It's one of those 'turn your brain off because it doesn't make sense.' It lacked heart, and ultimately the only scene anyone cared about was that duel between Vader and Kenobi near the end. Cut the rest. I don't go into depth on Andor either because it's a great show and doesn't have any glaring issues or reasons why it stands out, other than it's a diamond in the rough. Otherwise it's just kinda there. Skeleton Crew is a show that I half expected to be a repeat of all of the above negatives. Somehow, though, it managed to defy the odds and is a really decent show even without comparison to other Star Wars' series. It holds its own. However, the acting--especially on the kids' and parents' parts--could be improved. Also, the owl alien (Kh'ymm, I think), was a very forgettable character. I forgot she existed after the episode she showed up in first and only remembered after a recap in the last episode. She's important, though, (at the end with the rescue) so I feel like her lack thereof, while not a glaring issue, is a problem worthy of mentioning. Besides those two points I think it's a good series overall. Boring at the beginning, but once it started rolling it almost felt like it couldn't be stopped! So, a round of applause for Skeleton Crew for not screwing up with Disney's latest trend of cinema sins. This series gets a solid B+ in my book. It's not groundbreaking, but it also doesn't recycle much old material unashamed. It's family-friendly too, and each member can find something they enjoyed. It keeps you engaged well enough to forget that Star Wars is sinking like the Titanic, and forget how simple the plot really is. So, good job. 4/5 stars for you, Skeleton Crew.

Dumpster fire of a Star Wars movie

Excellent! I loved it! For a "kid's show" this nailed it in terms of everything. It hit the nail on the head for the multiversal chaos, character development, world building, and conflict. It almost makes me wonder how Disney's Star Wars is struggling to make solid TV shows. But no matter. If you are a LEGO and Star Wars fan, you'll love this.

Unengaging, unevenly paced, low character development, low world building

Despite 6 years passing by since its initial release date, Marvel Spider-Man for PS4 is still a great game with awesome graphics and a compelling story. It's a snatch if you can get it
