Tim Burton nails the aesthetic as only he could. A bit disappointed certain scenes were changed or left out, but it doesn't really hurt the film all that much.

Well written, very moody and creepy, but still child appropriate. I wish it was a bit longer!

Of the three Corellian Trilogy books, I think this is the best one, but even that's not a huge achievement.

I'm not a huge fan of how parts of the book is organized, but all of the advice is pretty good. I wish he went a little more in depth with some of the stuff, even considering this is a For Dummies book.

Prose heavy, instead of a wall of formulas. The advice is generally good and easy to digest.

So... a certain character's sudden arrival is brilliant and great. But at the same time, it really feels like the author just kind of arbitrarily made things up for a second. "You ARE the strongest in the universe." (TM) Or rather, were.

Imagine not using your strongest form, and still somehow winning. The logic feels kinda half-baked here. Except...

First time reading it in about 17 years. Honestly, not that great. I imagine kids today struggle even more with it, without massive amounts of context and history explaining everything. I surely hope teachers remove it from the reading lists soon, because it has lost its shine.First time reading it in about 17 years. Honestly, not that great.

Mostly well written. A little light on the actual chess games, but I suppose the author didn't want to bore casual and -non fans. The romantic prose is alright, but I found myself skipping through the steamy parts.

The dynamic change really elevates this film. It's a breath of fresh air frankly. I didn't particularly care about the actual story beats, not to say whether they are good or bad. I came to watch a Predator film, and was not disappointed.

Dreamworks essentially steals from both Turning Red and Luca, and it works about 60%. If you did not watch anything Disney, it'd be okay I guess, but being aware of the other studio makes it hard to take this film remotely serious.

I was a huge fan of TMNT growing up. I did not keep up with the newer tv shows, but I have watched all the movies over the years. This one was a slight disappointment. I wasn't a huge fan of the animation style, which you can obviously tell was inspired by Into the Spider-verse, but is nowhere near as good. The immediate romantic subplot was cringey. And while the Turtles are still distinct, I was not a fan of the design choices for the four. At least it's not as bad as Rise of the TMNT. Overall, I think it's fine for kids today, but longtime fans might be a little disappointed.I was a huge fan of TMNT growing up.

So... the main character is the girlfriend of the President of Gryffindor's son... and it turns out the President of Gryffindor previously went out with both the President of Ravenclaw and the President of Gryffindor's previous wife... who is the son's mom, and coincidentally, the leader of the rebellion. So really this has just devolved into the Real Housewives of Dystopian Hogwarts.So... the main character is the girlfriend of the President of Gryffindor's son... and it turns out the President of Gryffindor previously went out with both the President of Ravenclaw and the President of Gryffindor's previous wife... who is the…

So.... it's Edgy Dystopian Hogwarts, where everyone gets sorted into a House. The lead character joins Slytherin and stops an uprising led by Ravenclaw, who wants to destroy Gryffindor for not fully explained reasons.
