I'm less of a fan of DC than Marvell, but given that, I enjoyed Man Of Steel, but felt let down by this one. Even with the hype of the introduction of Wonder Woman, it seemed to drag on... It DOES set up for Justice League, which I am looking forward to... hopefully it will fare better.

While you can definitely find the movies for a bit less without the collectible lunchbox, if you are a collector, it's worth the couple of bucks extra. Hopefully it'll be worth more later.

While it doesn't stand o nit's own as well as the others, it is a worthy sequel to the reboot. Chris Pine and friends shine as usual.

First off, I have to say that I have nothing bad to say about the movie packaging or format... my "beef" is with the movie itself.
It was already the weakest (in my opinion) of the 3 books, and for the studio to make the decision to split it into 2 movies was a poor one. What we are left with is really HALF of a movie, that we paid full price for.
I bought it to have the entire collection.

I bought this item to pick up the wireless signal from my house and turn it back into a wired signal for use in my detached shop. This "range extender" should have served the purpose with its WiFi extender and also its 4 10/100 ethernet ports. I connected to my home's router easy enough, but while I was able to test at 26mbs throughput in the house, I could only get 3mbs through the extender. I tried to change the home router to see if I needed a newer model in the house, but had the same results.
If you don't require a fast speed, then this might work for you, but it is WAY too slow for my business use.

Use the Netflix gift card to watch your favorite TV shows and movies on any internet-connected device instantly. Watch as much as you want, whenever you want. It's fast. It's easy. It's a better way to watch.

Getting and using the card is pretty simple, and I have no issue with this or Best Buy. Where my issue lies is that Netflix USED TO have a gift certificate program that you could send direct from your account to another account (I used to pay for my daughter's Netflix this way). Now the ONLY way to pay for my daughter's Netflix is to physically mail her a prepaid card, which can get lost or stolen in transit.

Fun movie. Picks up sometime after the first movie, and the subsequent spin-off series (it's not important to have seen the series, but it helps to have seen the first movie).
As with most other sequels, it's not created with the care and quality of the original movie, but it is still alot of fun. It adds to the back story of many of the characters.

Can I get this computer to come with windows 8?

This computer only comes with Windows 10. You could wipe it and install Windows 8, but I wouldn't recommend it. You may have trouble finding compatible drivers (especially for touchscreen).

I want to use this computer for editing photos. I plan to use Adobe Lightroom for editing. Will this computer be reliable and keep up with Adobe Lightroom? Please provide an explanation as to why it will or why it will not. Thank you much for your help!

This laptop fits nicely within the specs for Lightroom 5, so you should have no issues. However, it will perform BETTER with 16GB RAM. The on-board video card is sufficient, though.

Does this laptop fold over when open so it can be used like a tablet?

No, this is a standard laptop, not a "convertible". The hinge does not accommodate the backward fold.
