Whomever did the cover art, did not talk to the author. It specifically says that he wields the hammer one-handed with a shield. The cover art shows a dude with a GIANT hammer and a sword. I'm going to call it AI generated and that just pisses me off.

This movie is 21 years old. 21 years and still has some outstanding CGI that holds up. The underwater scene and the scene with Sparrow and Barbosa fighting in the cave are absolutely seamless. The phasing from human to skeleton isn't jankie and just really holds up.

With a second set of movies being exactly that, a second set of movies, there is nothing that brings the series forward for me. I think you can start to see the cracks in the formula, but also some highlights that they should have focused on.

Which is surprising since I thought it was being oversold. However, whether you are watching this as a member of the past, a member of the audience, or being told this epic by your grandmother, this story will suck you In.

The second best one is the main story line. You have Patrick Stewart and Sean Bean voice acting two of the major roles. If heard/read an interview of Patrick Stewart talking about the back history he got on the Emperor and how much he loved it. His performance is so good

I do not like what they did the Silveg. First off, he is played by a Skarsgard and deserves to be treated as such. I get why they made it happen, I just think the degree of it is more than any of the others portray and so it just feels extra. Jane is fine, Darcy is fine, Thor and Loki are solid.

Lastly, the story. What made for mystery in the first movie, just becomes plot holes in the second. Honestly, the whole story is more about pride, arrogance, and deceit than it is about immortals trying to survive. There are a couple new introductions to new immortals which is a cool idea, but...

What this movie does do really well is present the scale of the fights. From the Ice Giants, the Destroyer, or the fights with Loki and Thor, you get a really good feeling of the epicness of them. There is also some nice levity, while out of place it is still funny...

The story itself was pretty good. I like the idea of the monkey paw for the Fountain as honestly most of those old special treasures were lost for a reason, supposedly. There is some obvious plot twist that happen and the girl that is chasing them is basically a repeat of The Mummy

My favorite movie series throughout my entire life. There are ups and downs in the series, but I think overall it is 100% still something that needs to be watched. It is also something that pushed the industry forward. Just look how Star Wars was received in 77.

I forgot about the title, and remembered when I was uploading it to the site, so I need to talk about that. "Rey Skywalker." Absolutely stupid. Not sure where they were going with it, but I understand the idea that in this world the name "Jedi" is both good and bad
