What upsets me from an entertainment mindset is the slow crawl of the first act. I am well aware they are setting everything up, and giving every group their time to set the stage, but it is painfully slow at times. I get it, but when you know it’s hard to not want to skip it.
My memories of this event are mixed with pre-deployment training. I was in the middle of work ups to deploy to Afghanistan when this was announced, and I barely remember it being talked about. Part of that might have been because I was on shift or asleep when it was announced, but that video.
Since Skyfall, these movies have just gotten better. This one you get to see a ton of growth in James, and it really adds a ton of depth to the movie. I really like the layered story telling of all the movies, and it makes sense to the overall story so that is a really nice plus.
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.
