  Kraven the Hunter 2024

  ★★ Watched 17 Mar 2025

  Aaron Taulor-Johnson is nice enough to look at, sure...but that's not going to save a bad film.
  I had a lot of fun with the ridiculousness of it, the bizarre action and whatnot...but I'm pretty sure they weren't hoping for laughter at the points where I was laughing. This wasn't well-written. I did enjoy the music.

  Spoilers below.

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  
  Sergei's an idiot, and leaving his abusive, pos dad without taking his younger brother with him ends in the most predictable way…

  Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker 2019

  ★★ Rewatched 07 Mar 2025

  Eh. Not the ending this trilogy deserved.

  Star Wars: The Force Awakens 2015

  ★★★½ Rewatched 05 Mar 2025

  I really enjoy the new cast, and it's lovely to see the og members. I never really cared about the original trilogy, and didn't like the prequels outside of some of the cast. Of this franchise, this is much more my jam, despite it's similarities to A New Hope. BB 8 is adorable, and I love him.
