X-men '97 "Roll Call"

Lol

I just finished 007 First Light. It took me approximately 26 hours. Pros: Fun and interesting story that feels like it could be a Bond movie. Great dialog. Good twists The actors all did a great job especially Lennie James as Greenway, Noemie Nakai as Ms Roth and especially Patrick Gibson as Bond. It feels like a mix of an old Adventure game in that you have to talk to people,find alternate routes and use your environment to pass more than brute strength. It feels like 60 percent spycraft,30 percent combat,and 10 percent platforming Good graphics but not the best ever 8/10. Q gadgets are awesome. The Q lens is reminiscent of Detective vision and the devices are helpful for both combat and detective work. There are multiple ways to get from A to B to C. If you mess up A, you don't have to restart. Cons The music is just ok. The Bond theme is used very minimally and outside of one John Barry piece most of the music there isn't that much to get excited about. The opening theme is 7/10 solid imo. While there are a handful of vehicle sections with both land/sea vehicles,many of them are just used to give exposition or are low stakes Only 1/2 are high speed/tense I hope there are more high speed sections in the sequel if it is made The boss fights are nothing special outside of 1 "Arkham City Mr. Freeze" fight. I would have preferred a standard block instead of a parry mechanic. It works ok half of the time but when there are multiple opponents sometimes it isn't as effective. It doesn't feel as "forgiving" as Arkham (or maybe Arkham combat is too scrub friendly?) I admit my skills are not as good as most folks on here and I've played too much Yakuza and am used to being a superhero lol Overall: This is the Arkham Asylum for Bond . A great chapter in his videogame history. 9/10 Bond stats: Countries visited: 7 Alcoholic drinks consumed: 4 Hoes smashed: 2 Tuxedos worn: 1

Welcome to the 2020s. Sometimes I may check the time or send a text to my mom during the previews but once the movie itself starts ,I put my phone away. I either try to go at off peak times now or wait a week to thin the crowd a bit.

The 1983 He-Man cartoon is coming to Blu-ray on August 25 in the US.

I saw He-Man Travis Knight has the touch! Note: There are 3 end credit scenes. Wait till after the credits! Pros: Great costumes/set design and action sequences. Idris rocked as Man at Arms. Leto was great as Skeletor -a good mix of fearsome and campy similar to Allison Brie's performance. Galitzine and Camila Mendes were solid as He-man and Teela. There are only a few emotional scenes but they hit. The earth scenes are only 1/3 of the full runtime and the majority is in Eternia. Cons: There is a sequence during the "final battle" that took me out of the seriousness a bit. Some characters are there just for action scenes and cool moments. Overall: I never got into He-Man but of the few projects I've seen(1983 cartoon, 1987 Lundgrren film,2021 Kevin Smith cartoon) this was my favorite. 8/10
