The Acolyte (2024)
Listen to the words, fans. The Acolyte is the best of all Star Wars shows
As James Burns said
"I've been a Star Wars fan ever since I saw the film in the cinema in December of 1977. I jumped on the Star Destroyer as it flew overhead, and apart from a short time in my teenage years, I've been an avid follower of all things from a galaxy far, far away ever since.
Until the prequels were announced, the only way to engage with others was at conventions and shows. You would make trades in-person, get an autograph or two, or perhaps enjoy the good natured comparison of Star Wars vs Star Trek, but that's as far as any sort of rivalry went.
That all changed in the second half of the '90s with the advent of the internet; CompuServe, MySpace and forums were a new way to connect with other like-minded people, although getting on line with dial up modems wasn't always the easiest or quickest. I fondly remember trying to download the first trailer for The Phantom Menace overnight with a modem cable trailing over the floor so I could monitor the connection from my bed.
The Phantom Menace arrived, and with it came a whole barrage of criticism - for the story, the dialogue and even some of the actors. This was so severe that one of the actors, Ahmed Best, considered ended his life, while the young Jake Lloyd is still very much a recluse to this day, some 25 years on.
Star Wars has always been a story of good versus evil, and most of the time we see good prevail, so why have we let a few rogue fans ruin things for fandom? It seems ever since the first prequel, no matter the project, or who ultimately owns Lucasfilm, the few spoil it for the many, going online and sharing their opinions, being downright spiteful and even rude to the actors, writers, showrunners and executives, sometimes before they've seen a single episode of a series or the film has been released to the public.
I fully appreciate that we can't find favour in everything, and nobody is forcing everyone to like all the output that comes from Lucasfilm; after all, the content has to appeal to a wide age range from preschoolers to first generation Star Wars fans, some of whom are now in their 80s and beyond.
What we can do though, is have some respect for the time and effort that goes into these projects, regardless of the content. The people who make these shows and films are just like you and me, going to work each day to earn a living, to do the best they can using whatever tools they find themselves working with - be it a pencil and paper to design an alien or starfighter, a set of spanners to build a droid, or a keyboard to code a series of special effects. Think about how that vitriol may hurt the thousands of people who work on these shows.
Put yourself in their shoes - how would you like it if a small minority of (mostly non-expert) people picked holes in your job performance?
Most of us live in a country which allows free speech, and I'm not advocating censure, what I am suggesting though is the need to be mindful, to really think about the comments we make in the name of fandom.
What do they achieve, apart from hurt? What would happen if they simply followed the advice an old Jedi Knight gave some 47 years ago to... "move along."
Alternatively, you could always listen to what my mother taught me... "if you have nothing good to say, then don't say anything at all."
In a world that's more divided than ever, I think we'd all advocate for peace, so why not extend that to our Star Wars fandom? Instead of ranting on social media and degrading those who worked tirelessly to produce the content, just don't tune in, don't stream it or just don't buy a ticket - Disney and Lucasfilm will soon get the message when revenue is down and merchandise sales fall flat. Star Wars fans don't need to punch down and hurt people along the way for this to happen.
Critique is fine but ad hominem attacks have no place in Star Wars or any fandom.
Together we must do better - please - may the Force be with you, always."
As Obi-Wan Kenobi said
"Don't give into hate. That leads to the dark side."
The Acolyte is the best one I've seen on Disney+
10/10.
The Acolyte: Day (2024)
SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!
I watched The Acolyte and there is the ending.
The Awesome-looking Sith Lord comes to fight the Jedi
The Sith Lord looks kinda like part Darth Vader part Xenaporph form Alien
The ending makes me wanna watch the series.
Darth Vader is my Favourite Villain of all time ever since I watched Star Wars the Original Trilogy
Xenamporph from aliens are awesome looking
Since Aliens (1986 James Cameron Film)
At least I was a fan of Darth Vader now I'm into the Star Wars Franchise. I love the lightsaber duels, space battles and cool Characters but these are awesome.
Every Jedi Knights, Sith Lords, OT Stormtroopers and Mandalorians are so Awesome.
I wanted to say. This Sith Lord from the Acolyte ep4 ending is so cool.
Critically Acclaimed
Please do watch the acolyte because of all Jedi knights, the High Republic and this Sith Lord.

I believe that Light and Magic is so great
Episodes: 6
Plot: Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Lawrence Kasdan takes viewers on an adventure behind the curtains of Industrial Light & Magic, the special visual effects, animation, and virtual production division of Lucasfilm.
This Documentary is about the making of special effects in movies is a really good one. These footages Including the Star Wars Trilogy, Indiana Jones, Willow and all kinds of movies. I watched the Documentary that includes the Footage of the Theatrical Cuts of the Trilogy but it's a great one so these footage is blowing my mind. The fans will love the documentary.

Review by Sam Conlan
The Main Storyline:Surviving the destruction of the planet Krypton, young Kal-El is sent by his father Jor-El to live among mankind on Earth. Under the parenting of Jonathan and Martha Kent, Clark Kent discovers that he was born with extraordinary powers and abilities beyond imagination. Now living in Metropolis, Clark takes up a job as a reporter for the Daily Planet and starts to fall head over heals for fellow reporter Lois Lane. But then Clark is also using his powers to help the better of mankind as Superman, who the people of Metropolis start turning to for help. But in the shadows, criminal genius Lex Luthor launches a sinister plan to make himself known by detonating two missiles in different parts of the country with only Superman to oppose him. Will Superman save us? Or will Luthor's plan succeed?
Richard Donner (who directed The Omen and Lethal Weapon) did a fantastic job on the Superman movie because he's the best director in Hollywood. Christopher Reeve is the best Superman in classic cinema. Also Margot Kidder as Lois Lane, Marlon Brando as Jor-El and Gene Hackman as Lex Luthor are also great. It's the First Live-Action Movie of The Superman Franchise. It's got Action, Adventure, Drama, Romance and Sci-fi in it. My favourite Scenes are Superman saves people, hangs out with Lois Romantically and Saves everyone from the Sean Andreas Earthquake. I've watched it so many times
I give the movie 10/10

Cobra Kai (2018)
I love the Karate Kid Sequel Series

Rated PG (Some Episodes) M (Some Episodes)
Episodes - 10
Runtime per Episode - 30
Main Storyline - Thirty four years after events of the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament, a down-and-out Johnny Lawrence seeks redemption by reopening the infamous Cobra Kai dojo, reigniting his rivalry with a now successful Daniel LaRusso.

It's a Sequel Series to the 1984 movie "The Karate Kid". It's got Action, Comedy, Drama and Sport in it. I watched it on Netflix. I love the season 1 of the show because it's really awesome, funny. And of course, my favourite character is Samantha LaRusso because she's really cute and really badass

Blade Runner (1982)
I love the Cyberpunk movie
Blade Runner (1982) movie review
Rated: M for Science Fiction Violence
Release Date: 10 July 1982 (Theatrical Cut), 19 December 2007 (Final Cut)
The Main Storyline: Rick Deckard, an ex-policeman, becomes a special agent with a mission to exterminate a group of violent androids. As he starts getting deeper into his mission, he questions his own identity.
Ridley Scott (Director of Alien and Gladiator) did an awesome work on the cyberpunk movie based on the Phillip K. Dick novel "Do Androids Dream on the Electric Sheep?". Thanks to Ridley for the Final Cut Version of the Movie. Harrison Ford (from Star Wars and Indiana Jones) is the best Detective Character Rick Deckard in this movie. Also stars Sean Young as Rachel and Rutger Hauer as the Villain Roy Batty. It's a Live-Action Cyberpunk Movie. It's got Action, Sci-Fi and Thriller in it. I enjoyed watching the movie when I was 12 but it's really cool. Back in 2015, I watched it in cinemas but it's really classic. I love this Cyberpunk Movie because it's really awesome like The Matrix (1999), Alien (1979) and Prometheus (2012)
Note: Please watch the Final Cut of the Movie, Not the other ones.
I give it 10/10

If you like the shows you love, and if you like the DCEU, You'll love this show
I made a review of this one
Rated M
Episodes - 15
Runtime Per Episode - 64 mins (Pilot) / 42 mins
The Main Storyline: After years of facing supervillains, monsters and alien invaders, the world's most famous superhero, The Man of Steel aka Clark Kent and comic books' famed journalist Lois Lane come face to face with one of their greatest challenges ever -- dealing with being working parents in today's society. Complicating the already daunting job of raising two boys, Clark and Lois worry about whether their sons, Jonathan and Jordan, could inherit their father's Kryptonian superpowers as they grow older. Returning to Smallville to handle some Kent family business, Clark and Lois are reacquainted with Lana Lang and her Fire Chief husband, Kyle Cushing. The adults aren't the only ones rediscovering old friendships in Smallville as the Kent sons are reacquainted with Lana and Kyle's rebellious daughter, Sarah. Of course, there's never a dull moment in the life of a superhero, especially with Lois' father, Gen. Samuel Lane looking for Superman to vanquish a villain or save the day at a moment's notice."
The cast are great in the movie. Tyler Hoechlin is a great Superman ever and Elizabeth Tulloch is the coolest Lois Lane in this show. It's the Only Superman TV Show from the Arrowverse. It's got Action, Adventure, Romance and Sci-fi in it. I've watched it all on foxtel. I really love this movie because it's got a lot of action sequences, romantic scenes and superhero fights and stuff
I give the TV Show 10/10

Mandy (2018)
I love this entertaining psychedelic gorefest. It's a perfect movie on Halloween
I made a Review
The Main Storyline: In the Pacific Northwest in 1983, outsiders Red Miller and Mandy Bloom lead a loving and peaceful existence. When their pine-scented haven is savagely destroyed by a cult led by the sadistic Jeremiah Sand, Red is catapulted into a phantasmagoric journey filled with bloody vengeance and laced with deadly fire.
The Director: Panos Cosmatos made a dark movie full of trippy things. He also made indie movies like the sci-fi ones. The Actors: Oscar Winner Nicolas Cage (from Vampire's Kiss, Moonstruck, Face/Off, Con Air, The Rock, Matchstick Men, Knowing, Kick-Ass, the Ghost Rider movies, Disney's National Treasure Movies, Adaptation and The Wicker Man Remake) plays as Red Miller (Protagonist), Andrea Riseborough (from Oblivion and Birdman) plays as Red's partner Mandy Bloom and Linus Roache (from Batman Begins, Vikings TV Show and The Chronicles of Riddick) plays as Jeremiah (Villain). It's a Live-Action movie It's got Action, Horror, Mystery, Thriller in it. Back in 2019, I watched it on Foxtel at home by myself. I love it because the movie is so dark, gritty, scary and awesome but like an entertaining psychedelic gorefest. It's got the fight scenes in it, the dark and scary tone are so cool. It's a True Horror Movie that Fans will Love it. It's a perfect movie to watch on Halloween.
I give it 10/10

As a Star Wars movie lover, I watched the bad batch on the time it released on Disney plus. This show is so incredible. Please watch the show.
Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014)
It's So Boring
Transformers: Age of Extinction
The Main Storyline: The Autobots, a faction of robots from the planet Cybertron, are hunted down by an elite CIA black ops unit and a ruthless bounty hunter. They turn to a struggling inventor and his daughter for help.
The Directors: Michael Bay Just Ruined Transformers in his films like Transformers (2007), Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009), Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011) and Transformers: The Last Knight (2017). Michael Bay did bad directing and his movies are so boring.
The Actors: starring Mark Wahlberg (Ted 1 and 2) and T. J. Miller (Cloverfield and Deadpool 1 and 2) are alright but the acting is so depressing and horrible
The Composer: Steve Jablonsky's Scores of the movie got me so confused.
It's a 4th Live-Action Transformers Movie
it's got Adventure, a little bit of Action and a bit of Sci-Fi
My Favourite Scene is...... Nothing
i watched it in cinemas in 3D with my friend
I don't like it because there's lots of complaints in the movie like
- Optimus Prime kills Harold Attinger
- Product Placement
- Optimus Prime being Helpless
- Transformium
- Romeo and Juliet Law Card from Texas
- Cade Yeager Scenes
- a Transformer killed T. J. Miller's Character with grenade
- Bad Dialogues
- Cade Yeager's Underage Daughter dating 20 year old Irish Race Car
- Runtimes (Like almost 3 hours)
- Missed Opportunities
- Ignore Action Scenes
- No Happy Ending
i give it 0/10
Please do not watch age of extinction

Deadpool (2016)
That superhero is seriously sexy and awesome
I love the movie but I saw it in cinemas. It's got cheesy lines, great action and I love the character deadpool because he's really cute and funny but he's like spider-man with swords. I love the casts like Ryan Reynolds, T.J. Miller and Taylor Hickson because they're good actors. It's the movie for everyone except kids. I love this one. I love the sequel because it's greater.
I give it 10/10
