Michael 8/10
Look, I was going to love this one regardless. It was clever in its mass appeal. Anyone can enjoy this movie. Fun. It would have been fantastic on the big screen.

In my current fan frenzy, I would have liked to see more, split into two movies, a little more depth. The child actor was underutilised and could have carried a whole film on his own. I can see why they didn't make it like that, the lack of background characters would have been more jarring. It really is just a film about Michael. I don't know how much computer technology they used in this but there were moments where Jaafar looked eerily similar to Michael. He did a good job. The scenes with the animals looked straight out of the Watchtower. I really enjoyed it and considering it finished with "His Story" continues, I assume the next one will focus on the History tour. I hope the next one is similar in style in that it sticks to his story alone and doesnt veer off into anyone else idea of his life outside of the music. I will be seeing that one in the cinema for sure! The music, the dancing, its all a lot of family level fun and to be enjoyed to the fullest. Highly recommend 😀

Phantom Thread - 6.5/10
I love Daniel Day-Lewis, amazingly talented. Would I watch this again? No.

Conclave - 8/10
Well written, great cast and performances. The ending I think lets the film down a little.

I watched the newest Terminator movie last night. I wasn't bored, but it wasn't that good either. 5/10

A thread after my own heart, 'Ember. 🙂

Stargate (1994)
Genre: Sci-fi
Stars: Kurt Russell & James Spader
Rating: 8/10

Though I prefer the television series take on the property, the film that started it all is no slouch in the quality department. The concept is reasonably original and, though the plot is pretty simple, it does everything it needs to do to engage the audience and let them have a good time. It is heavily amplified by its characters, specifically Daniel Jackson and Jack O'Neill, who are likable and just complex enough to seem like real people. Of course, the acting from Spader and Russell, both very talented, does a lot to help this along. It still holds up thirty years later.

Think most the sequels prove that you can have a great cast and still produce mediocrity
