Interesting but treads similar ground.

Another origin story for Wonder Woman. It's fine and all, but what would be welcomed is the further adventures of WW, i.e. another NEW story with one of the host of villains she could face. It almost seems a disservice to such a great character that they didn't just do an adventure for her they went back to her origin. Come on DC, do better than that. It was good, just seemed unnecessarily repetitive.

Great action film and interesting continuing story

I didn't think they could stretch this into three movies (or more), but the writers have managed to create a very cool world within the world which engages the viewer and makes them wonder what's in store for our hero? Is it over the top? Yes. Just like the other two, but it's great action and a lot of popcorn fun-but smarter than most popcorn stuff out there. Some of the fights are a bit overblown or long, but it's good to see some of the minor characters get more screen time (like the Continental's concierge) and the introduction of Halle Berry's character is most welcome; it's almost like getting the spin off promised for her underrated Die Another Die character. Lots to have fun with here.

A field trip to Europe with his classmates was supposed to provide Peter Parker (Tom Holland) with a well-earned respite from his superhero alter-ego of Spider-Man. But when he's recruited by superspy Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), Spidey is soon back on the job and teaming up with the InchMysterioInch-us Quentin Beck (Jake Gyllenhaal)-apparently a hero from an alternate universe-for a dangerous mission that may not be what it appears. Zendaya, Jon Favreau, Marisa Tomei co-star in this fun-filled Marvel sequel.

Fun movie and one of the best Spider-Man films. I liked the twist at the end and the great cameo. The visuals are terrific and the characters have become a good addition to the MCU.

Disappointing movie that had potential.
on June 24, 2019
Posted by: rdj252
Verified Purchase:Yes
Went into this one with high hopes since this character is most likely the tent pole for the MCU going into the future, and because it was another female led story that my daughter could look to for heroics. This was a let down. A by the numbers adventure and standard origin story (which is ok I knew that going in so I wasn't looking for ground breaking movie making), the biggest let down is the bland acting of the lead. Brie Larson won an Academy Award so I expected someone who could at least show some emotional range like excitement or anger etc. at the appropriate moments. Nope. Blank stares and flat delivery of lines=no emotional impact or bonding with the main character. Her reactions, or non-reactions had me rolling my eyes and wishing for someone to make me care about what was happening on screen because she obviously did not. Gale Gadot was awesome as Wonder Woman, Scarlett Johansson always made you care about Black Widow, but Larson? Oh Boy. That and the stupid way Nick Fury loses his eye after such promising teases (the last time I trusted someone I lost an eye) almost completely ruined this movie for me (And the I'm Just a Girl led fight scene-we get it and support it stop punching the audience in the face trying to make us support girl power we already do), but the visuals and action saved the film. I was glad to see that the "acting" problem was maybe due to a weak director once I saw Larson in Endgame. There's hope for Captain Marvel movies seeing her do much better in that movie. You know it's a problem when an eight year old girl says a movie made for girls to cheer was "okay." Still, while being entertaining, this one lands in the bottom ranking of Marvel movies due to the aforementioned problems. Please be better in sequels. Please.

Sets the standard for computer animation films.

This was a novelty when it came out and it hit a homerun. Just a wonderful film that sets up one of the best buddy pairs in movie history, Toy Story took a unique concept, a sub-world of toys, and made it believable and interesting. Character voices are perfect with actors using just the right amount of cheese (Buzz) and seriousness whenever needed. Wonderful movie from start to finish that makes you fall in love with the characters and laugh a lot along the way.

Near perfect movie. Just fantastic.

An example of a sequel being better than the original, but for that to happen, it had to be one heck of a film. Toy Story is fantastic, but 2 manages to be better adding new and interesting characters with depth while giving everyone something to do. Just fun from start to finish. Tugs at your heartstrings too.

Terrific thriller and vintage Spielberg.

I love Spielberg. Well I'll say I love old or vintage Spielberg and have been meh about his new films. Bridge of Spies is a good mix of his old movies and his new. He crafts a great thriller and with Tom Hanks in the lead this incredible true story is in good hands. Mark Rylance was amazing as well and sort of steals the picture from Hanks. Highly recommended.

I didn't see the first one in theaters when it came out. Kids were too young and I wasn't interested. Then a friend said we should watch it and I really enjoyed it. The movies have gotten better with each installment, and this one was a great way to end the series. My son and daughter really enjoyed it and he teared up at the end thinking of his dog. Good story, funny and lots of action, this delivers and keeps the kids entertained.

One of the finest films ever made, I hadn't seen it in years and had forgotten how terrific this movie is. A wonderful story of veterans learning to deal with the affects of war and figuring out how to come home again. The acting is superb and it's easy to see how it's a Oscar winner back when Oscars went to good films. If you're not moved by this story, you're dead inside.

Med student Lucas (Jonah Hauer-King) rescues young pit bull mix Bella (voiced by Bryce Dallas Howard) from a construction site in Denver, Colorado. But Denver's laws against pit bull ownership, and a Inchno dogsInch clause in the lease where he and his mom (Ashley Judd) live, force Lucas to send Bella to his friends in New Mexico until he can get a new place. Unable to stand the separation, Bella embarks on a perilous two-year, 400-mile trek to get back to Lucas. Alexandra Shipp co-stars in this family adventure, based on the book by W. Bruce Cameron. 96 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.

Full discretion, I am not a big animal movie fan. In fact, I'm not interested at all. My family, however, loves them and they enjoyed this. It's a nice family film with a good message that kids can see. That is something rare now.

Give your entertainment the premium sound it deserves with Roku Wireless Speakers. They~re the easy way to upgrade the sound of your Roku TV as front speakers or add immersive surround sound to your Roku audio system. Experience a rich soundscape with crisp, clear dialogue and dynamic bass as the two speakers work in harmony to fill your room with sound. Best of all, you won~t need to juggle extra remotes with Roku Wireless Speakers~your current Roku remote is all you need. Just plug them in and wirelessly pair them to your Roku TV, Roku Streambar, Roku Streambar Pro, or Roku Smart Soundbar with a quick and easy setup. For users who already have Roku Streambar, Roku StreambarPro, or Roku Smart Soundbar, you can add a set of Roku Wireless Speakers behind your couch for immersive surround sound and Roku Wireless Subwoofer (sold separately) for heart-pounding bass. For a full surround sound system, you~ll want two sets of Roku Wireless speakers~two in the front by your Roku audio device, and two in the rear behind or beside your couch. For Roku TV users, start with a set of Roku Wireless Speakers for premium sound. Then, you can easily add Roku Wireless Subwoofer (sold separately) for heart-pounding bass.
 

Can these be used as outdoor speakers

I am, but they're under a covered area so there's little chance of them getting wet. I don't think they're water proof/resistant. I wouldn't put them out in the elements.

Can you get Bally Sports, specifically Padres baseball games, with Roku without cable TV?

Roku is just a way to put apps and streaming services on a TV. You need to actually have a streaming service app that has those channels in order to watch the games. Look up who carries that and those are your choices. I did that to see Astros games-only DirectTv, DirectTV Stream, FuboTV and something else I can't remember what had them so those were my choices.

Installed roku stick - get picture but no sound. Do I need an additional sound bar?

I didn't and it doesn't require one. There might be something wrong with it or try doing the IT thing-turn it off and turn it back on.
