And Just Like That... (2021)
Ignore the bad reviews
The fact people are upset about how 'woke' the new series is is baffling.
Sex and the City has always been tongue in cheek with its approach, so the woke aspect fits perfectly!
We're being more progressive with inclusivity and they had a lot of things that can now be corrected in this spin off.
We all know Kim wasn't returning, of course everybody is going to squabble with how it was handled. On top of a tight schedule of creating this series, they also were thrown the passing of a much loved actor from the original series, so cut them some slack!
If you don't like it, don't watch. You can rewatch the original series as much as you like and leave it at that!
Cruella (2021)
Fun for kids but not great
The child actors at the beginning were terrible, plenty of talented children out there.
Horace and Jasper were a miss, Horaces voice was completely forced and awkward.
Cruella had no real development, she switched over one scene.
Assassin's Creed: Syndicate (2015)
Love the concept, but very frustrating gameplay.
Combat - It took me a while to understand the combat style. When you have multiple enemy's around you, some enemy's block and you have to break their block, some enemy's strike and you need to dodge the attack. Doing all of this allows you to get a good combo. But it's not that clear when each enemy does something different, the camera angles don't help either.
Glitches - Ran into quite a few glitches while playing. I find with most AC games, when free running and you're against the clock or at risk of your enemy running away, the characters often scale a building instead of running straight through and you end up failing missions or missing out on bonuses.
Visuals - I am a sucker for costumes and how well the scenery is made. They did London fantastically and I loved exploring Victorian London, the costumes were beautiful, but there really isn't a huge difference between all the costumes. You can also acquire various colours but not all costumes change colour.
Inventory - The inventory is a mess, especially in your weapons section. In my understanding at the beginning, I thought I could equip a knuckle duster, a knife AND a cane sword, but no, you can only equip one of them (even though in reality you really could have all three at the same time)
Missions - I often felt you had to rush through missions as things started to unfold quickly, therefore you have to act quickly, and it gives you bonus opportunities along the way, such as; "Don't let the target escape" but I often found it would give you these extra things to do whilst in the thick of things, I didn't have time to be reading the extra stuff so I missed out a lot of the bonuses.
Your gangs interference - I loved the fact you had your team dotted around the place and could summon them at your disposal. But there were often times, when a mission requires a lot of stealth, I'd find one of my members inside a restricted area interfering with missions without being summoned and told to do so.
Information - When in the annoying in between moments, after fast travelling or being desynchronised, there are tips and facts about Victorian London which gives you something to read through while waiting, however it automatically cycles through at a fixed speed and found I could not read it all by the time it changed.
These were my negatives (it seems a lot) but with all of that, I still really enjoyed playing. I loved the free roaming of London, there are plenty of collectibles and side missions to get busy with and so many cool extras and some famous faces back in that era.
Frustrating but enjoyable game.
Sex and the City 2 (2010)
Ignore the bad reviews
I've always loved this film. It's fun and easy to watch and a nice fantasy to imagine what it would be like to live life as the 4 girls do.
It's relevant to the series. The people writing the bad reviews are obviously taking the movie too seriously, and that's not what the movie is about!
