    The consummate sequel, building on the first film in every way rendered in gorgeous animation, delivering a spiritually cathartic and visually spectacular climax. The whole film is woven with the series’ signature charm and mix of slapstick humour, earnest emotion, thematic nuance, and jaw dropping action. It’s so great to have Nezha back again.

    “I’m Noa. Hathaway Noa.”

    Fantastically directed by Shūkō Murase, Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway has Gundam’s UC timeline roaring back to prominence and prestige adapting original Gundam creator Tomino’s long thought unadaptable trilogy of novels - Hathaway’s Flash. A direct sequel to Char’s Counterattack, in which he also had a small role, Hathaway follows the titular character, son of famous Gundam character Bright Noa, as the leader of the terrorists organisation Mafty as they seek to fight against the destruction and privatisation of…

    Maybe this didn't make it big in Australia? Kind of shocked I've never heard about it till Hackman's passing (vale), but holy mackerel. All I can say I miss Robin Williams, Nathan Lane should really just be in more things those of us not adjacent to New York can actually see.

    I also want to say for all the moron chuds saying you couldn't make Blazing Saddles today, The Birdcage is the exact kind of movie that even if it…

    Me: Oh boy! A stacked roster of Asia's A list actors, gorgeous potential for set design and visual symbolism set in one of the most aesthetically pleasing and intriguing places in the world where there are layers of symbolism to every act, boy I can't wait for this to be a sweeping epic tragic love story or a picture that interrogates how patriarchy and tradition work together and how women's spaces in these cultures might work. I mean yeah there's alot of potential for problems here but I'm sure a talented director could really make something of it

    ★★★★★

    The original Gundam storyline concludes in this feature film which features just about everything you can want from a Gundam movie. Despite being over 38 or so years old this movie still holds up just great. This is the Return of the King of the trilogy - everything falls into place and we get great high stakes battles at the end of the war for nothing less than the very future of mankind and freedom itself (bad guy Gihren Zabi…
