IMHO it's as-good or better than any other comic book movie ever, including stuff like Infinity War, Thor 3, Winter Soldier or The Dark Knight.

Not a review but...
Lord of the Rings prequel TV series budgeted at $1b (!!) is being produced by Amazon.

I’m looking forward to see young Gandalf before his parents die, and spending all season trying to guess which one becomes Sauron,

I have to say that, of the things that are being hyped right now, this is the least interesting.

I have to agree with this. I felt that we'd sort of put LotR to bed with the Hobbit movies.
I like LotR, don't get me wrong, but... I felt done. Ready to move on. Let's do something else. Like maybe look at one of the other fantasy series that wasn't done right on the screen (or hasn't been done at all yet???).
Saying the quiet parts out loud since 1996.

I like the sassy nature of Eddings' series.

I'd love to see Dragonlance done right.

@ZombieGenesis What that old cartoon movie didn't do the job?
*That thing was a shitshow.

@ZombieGenesis Joe Manganiello is shopping out an Autumn Twilight script...

So I watched the Alita movie, taking advantage of being in the UK where it released last week (I have no idea why?)
It suffered from some 'time compression' where stuff that in the manga took a year+ seemed to take place over days but frankly? I really liked it, the huge eyes actually worked just fine in practice and I honestly found Alita really compelling as a character with how she was played.
The action scenes were utterly phenomenal and despite how ridiculous it was I was completely sold on Alita just being that fucking good. She was fucking people up despite being vulnerable and them presenting a real threat, she was just too perfectly lethal and agile and really came across as a force of nature who was still very much a young, idealistic and opinionated person. Just one who was a peerless killing machine and was ultimately totally okay with this.

I didn’t think I’d like Glass as much as I did. It was mentally engrossing and satisfying.

So I hear that Captain Marvel is alright.

CAPTAIN MARVEL IS GREAT

Went and saw it and my experience was "meh". It just felt like something they had to do so they could get to stuff they REALLY wanna do. Not a terrible movie overall but, IMO, one of the weaker Marvel movies(above the likes of Thor Dark World or Iron Man 3 but way below Guardians of the Galaxy or Avengers: Infinity War).
