    Forgot to add a review for this. 

    A nearly perfect film. Agree with a comment my husband made about the end not feeling complete after such a large and fantastic buildup throughout the entire film, but the performances were outstanding in this. 

    There is definitely something to be said about a filmmaker who can take ordinary stories and turn them into masterful storytelling that puts you on the edge of your seat as you’re watching the film unfold. I’m someone…

  • Better Man

    I imagine this would have been a lot better if I knew the lore of Take That and Robbie Williams from something other than Derry Girls as a reference. 

    There were a lot of cool visual sequences in the film, and the monkey thing was an interesting concept? But I just didn’t care about the performer at all.

    Haven’t watched this in ages, but honestly: the sequel is better

  • The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim

    The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim

    ★★★

    I think if LOTR wanted to do an animated film, they should have aligned the animation more with the style of LOTR because this just didn’t fit at all. 

    The story also HELLA dragged, and I didn’t give AF about any of these characters. It was fine.
