Artwork is nothing special considering how wildly out there the subject matter is. it looks like the TinTin version of Dune and is pretty flat with little imagination injected into it

Felt a little wallowing for me this season, wallowing yet shallower ironically. The hotel manager and her story and perspective was by far the best story in my opinion, even if it was a late addition and a sub-plot. The whole rich people being sad and unable to help themselves find a quality of happiness except to indulge more somehow is so eye rolling. The actors and scenery are what save this show from itself, but how long can that well giveth water I ask?Felt a little wallowing for me this season, wallowing yet shallower ironically.

I have been waiting for a star trek show like this for years. love it. love the new life being breathed into familiar characters while not pandering to original fans with overexposing characters from the original.

If this movie had been a short film, it would've been great, but with a running time of 1 hour 40 some minutes...dafuq? And a 15,000 dollar budget, but they didn't catch the era continuity errors of the electrical plugs not being correct for the year, or the Lego sets not having those parts at the time. Somebody didn't live through the 90's as much as other people obviously. Shop garage sales for old stuff on the cheap. High concept, and that is great, but its reach exceeds its grasp. this should have been a horror short to launch careers not be a full length movie with looooog drawn out scenes that go no where till the last 20 minutes. It's a local director and want to love it, just not in the format it was delivered. Show don't tell, but show us already. Like come on.If this movie had been a short film, it would've been great, but with a running time of 1 hour 40 some minutes...dafuq?

Nothing says feminism more than becoming the the power to destroy in vendetta, rather than create in revenge of living well with new found power. To be fair, there is a little of that, and it could have been explored more is what I was hoping. Is being taken advantage of while an ingenue become the modern version of being burned as a witch? I dunno. Being burned alive out of fear/brutality vs being taken advantage of (or worse) has become more metaphor than I'm willing to indulge without more connective tissue. I suppose the film has become more the difference between the brutalizing forces and the innocnce it robs, but I wanted that spelled out better if that was the case. Had higher hopes for this movie I guess. She will, like eventually, I guess (?)Nothing says feminism more than becoming the the power to destroy in vendetta, rather than create in revenge of living well with new found power.

This movie is pleasantly funnier than I thought it would be. The dialogue is tight, the actors cut for their roles. My only complaint, more art intrigue lol! Seriously more enjoyable than I thought it would be, possibly thanks to Uma Thurman in particular.This movie is pleasantly funnier than I thought it would be.

For a very intelligent attorney general, the character of the lead actress sure goes out on a limb for some nobody without corroboration. Dafuq

Visually a great movie. The pacing is wonderful to pack so much into such a relatively small amount of time. Each actor is a gem contributing their own joie de vivre to their respective characters in an astounding mosaic. Watched more than once and though perhaps long for a theatre viewing, was nice at home.Visually a great movie. The pacing is wonderful to pack so much into such a relatively small amount of time.

Had some serious creeped out vibes watching this that still edge into my thoughts. Some unexpected scenes and some great homage moments. Tries to do something different, but familiar. That volume...just nope, nope, nope. Would recommend.

Pretty mediocre. Like passingly interesting. Thought there would be more gardening I guess instead of just looking like there was gardening about to happen. I did learn the difference between soil, dirt and loam I suppose, which is neat. Only gave it 2 because of the acting chops they had in S. Weaver and J. Edgerton performances.Pretty mediocre.

This second book was not as good as the first one in my opinion. It felt a bit rushed as though it was trying to be contained within a specific word count. There were chapters or scenes that took their time and others where the possible depth of something was glossed over or not explored to a more interesting extent, all for reasons I can't understand as a reader. If this was ever somehow re-released in 10 years with new content and moderate tweaks to work the additions in I would definitely be interested. Overall, I love the concepts created by these books and seeing Ning grow into herself in this sequel.This second book was not as good as the first one in my opinion.
