    The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (2022) - Season 1 (Amazon Prime)

    I am hoping it is not Gandalf, not that I don't love Gandalf I just think it could be a more interesting and also more faithful direction. This has reminded me that discussion around the LOTR films were some the first I was involved with on this site which was over 20 years ago.

    The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (2022) - Season 1 (Amazon Prime)

    Loved the first two episodes and agree with what everyone else has said. The look and feel of middle earth is just right. The music while not quite hitting the heights of Howard Shore's LOTR score is pretty good. I actually like the actress playing Galadriel which is a tough task as Blanchett...

    Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)

    I think Sam has summed up pretty well how I feel about it overall. Anytime I get to spend a couple of hours escaping from the real world into the MCU I am almost certain to enjoy it and this was no exception. I agree that it is not as good as Ragnarok although I probably like Ragnarok a little...

    Doctor Strange In the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

    I seem to remember this being the case in the animated Doctor Strange film. I agree with your comments and shared your level of enjoyment in the film. This isn't what I wanted for Wanda. She has suffered so much, parents killed, experimented on by Hydra, brother killed, is forced to kill the...

    Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)

    I don't even know where to start, but I will say if you have interest in seeing the new Spider-man then I think you will have a good time. I can't wait to hear what everyone thinks of it.

    Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)

    The timing will be interesting with Eternals coming out on 5th November.

    Disney+ Black Widow (2021)

    I have always found the extras lacking on the MCU films so I can't say I am surprised, but it is disappointing. Didn't even get a directors commentary which I believe all the non Sony ones have had until now. I agree with you about the date, I guess it is to fill in one of the weeks between What...

    Disney+ Hawkeye (Marvel Cinematic Universe)

    That looks really good. At this point though I would even be down for Rogers: The Musical and I don't even like musicals.

    Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase 2 General Discussion (Spoilers discussed for All Films -- Please Read First Post)

    That just drives home how much I have missed going to see Marvel films at the cinema.

    Disney+ THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER (Marvel Cinematic Universe)

    I agree with most on this. I really enjoyed the show overall, but it definitely could have used at least one more episode. It has been a pretty impressive start for their first two Disney+ shows.

    Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)

    Feige must be like the proverbial kid in the sweet shop/candy store.

    That looks good.

    Disney+ THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER (Marvel Cinematic Universe)

    My comment on the Raft was more about it being under Ross' control and certain stories from the comics that could lead to.

    Disney+ THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER (Marvel Cinematic Universe)

    Belated thoughts on episode 4 and episode 5. There has been something slightly off about Walker right from the outset, even down to how he looks in the suit. I am sure they put a lot of effort into getting it to look just how they wanted and much like the position of Rogers replacement it looks...

    Disney+ THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER (Marvel Cinematic Universe)

    The Ayo appearance was cool. It is a character we have seen very little of, but makes the world feel connected without feeling small. T'Challa didn't want Zemo dead, but I don't think he would want him running around up to who knows what either. The rest of your point is well made, but makes me...

    Disney+ THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER (Marvel Cinematic Universe)

    I thought that was the best episode so far. It was great to spend more time with old friends and foes and get a feel for how their lives have been. It has interesting antagonists, intrigue and top notch action.

    Disney+ THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER (Marvel Cinematic Universe)

    Not a huge amount to add to what has already been said, but here are my random thoughts. That was a really good start to the series, the first 10 minutes in particular certainly wouldn't have looked out of place on the big screen. I am glad they got Jackman back to do the music for this. I...

    Disney+ Secret Invasion (Marvel Cinematic Universe)

    I could see either way working well. I just hope that Captain Marvel 2 doesn't get too big or overstuffed and we get some good development for Carol. I didn't mind what they did with the first film, but I would really like to see her spread her wings. Marvel usually do right by their characters...

    Disney+ Marvel's WandaVision

    If I have to watch Secret Invasion and then Captain Marvel 2 just to find out who Monica's guy is, I will be mildly displeased.

    Disney+ Marvel's WandaVision

    I thought it was a really well put together show with a theme that really hit close to home. I thoroughly enjoyed the finale. We finally got some action which was good, but it also had some twists and the way the Vision situation was resolved with a conversation was superb. The goodbye was also...

    Disney+ Marvel's WandaVision

    I just wondered about the timing with regards to when that would have been created, I didn't get the impression they were at the picking out the location of their dream home when we first see them in Infinity War and by the end of that he was dead. It is only a small thing at the end of the day...

    Disney+ Marvel's WandaVision

    Sorry, we have used the term sus since back when I was at primary school in the early 80s. It means suspicious. I have heard of Among Us, but I have never played it.

    Disney+ Marvel's WandaVision

    Man, that was a good episode. There is still a fair bit to sort out with just one episode left.

    Disney+ Marvel's WandaVision

    So I re-watched episode 2 Don't Touch That Dial to see if there were any hints with regards to Senior Scratchy and because I enjoyed the magic show. I didn't see anything specific with regards to the rabbit, but I did notice that Dottie, Emma Caulfield Ford's character, mentioned "the devil is...

    Disney+ Marvel's WandaVision

    I think if it really was Agatha all along then the why becomes absolutely key. However I am still not sure that is actually the case, either way can't wait to see next weeks episode so it worked for me from that point of view. There have been hints about a level of awareness, there was the...

    Disney+ Marvel's WandaVision

    Thanks for letting me know about the mid credit scene Jake, I wouldn't have seen it otherwise. There is no way that I wouldn't have watched all these episodes in one go if the option had been there, especially the way the last couple have ended. So

    Ghosts of War (2020)

    Yeah, that didn't turn out how I expected. I didn't think it was bad overall, but it is definitely a once watch type for the reason you stated.

    Disney+ Marvel's WandaVision

    When Kevin Feige was a child he would play with all of his toys together, now he gets to do it in blockbuster films and TV shows. From Captain Marvel was Talos' science guy the one who stayed behind and impersonated Danvers and ended up getting killed? I guess with it being so many years later...
