The acting is superb. From Chris, Halle, to Mark, you get outstanding performances that are going to be overlooked, but should not be. I think the downfall from this perspective is Barry Keoghan. Could be the hair, the roles he typically plays, or just the performances he plays, but he just sucks
Classic early 2000s goth fantasy right here. Guns and swords, corsets, color contacts, and Michael Sheen. It is basically an adult version of [[Twilight]] to include the running. While watching this, there is a scene where Sheen is running after a car.
This easily has lived in my mind as one of the best games in the series because of the fighting. Conner is aggressive in his attacks and brutal. While it does keep the combo counter kill fight system, you don't care as much. There is a ton of new movement in the attack sequences
Easily one of the best video game series in existence. Some of the games are great, some of them are meh, a lot of them I skipped, but you will not be mad at the story that is being told.
Issues from a tactical and flight technicality adds to the drama of the story. I think the characters never really had all the answers and there was this back and forth that allowed each character to have a role. From the CIA rep to the SEALs, to the team back in the operations desks.
The girl, Bodhi Rae Breathnach, in this is far better than I expected her to be since I have no idea who she is, and she is relatively young. I feel for her and for sure think she will become an incredible actress. Honestly, most of the main people do a great job. I mean, Bill Nighy is there
Where I think the story feels the most important is the conduit messages from Ezio to Desmond. I think a lot of people, Ubisoft's writing in future being the main reason why, forget that the historical portion was meant to feed the modern day. They worked in tandem, not as opposing forces
The Afrofuturism the is both legitimately and figuratively woven into the background culture of Wakanda is outstanding. Their cloaks are shields. The beads are communicators. There is just an overwhelming amount of outstanding design and thought that you can easily miss how smartly it was done
Even at medium graphics quality it was incredible. It takes place around Christmas in New York City and there are snow storms that make it hard to see people 10 yards (9.14 m) from you, you have bright sun splashing down the streets and alleys giving so much visual realism.
The racing is cool. I very much makes me think of Need for Speed Carbon and I loved that game when it came out. I just realized they came out the same year. That is cool. Either way, the movie gives a very 2000s vibe and just makes you want to race which I think is part of what they wanted
The story telling is outstanding. I really do appreciate the first-hand knowledge that Whiting brings to the book as someone who lived during most of the events covered in the book. He does a great job of presenting the evidence of public knowledge and layering it with the culture of Japan
This was my first experience with Taika Waititi and it was funny. I thought it was really well told story about redemption and really finding out who you are inside. I think that is something that the whole of Marvel Phase 3 really works on is pushing this idea that we are more than our name.
