Beasts: Dumbledore. Did not like the betrayal of Dumbledore by the actor. First beast film still the best. Enjoyed it but Harry Potter is a better story

Saw the second on on TV the other night and TBH, while the concept of Fantastic beasts seems cool, it just off the rails. A lilttle bit too co-winky-dinkily Dumbledore focused. Who is the main character? Dumbledore or Newt? I'll probably end up watching it, but I think it would've been better to focus more on Newt and his amazing beasts than all this shenanigans with Dumbledore and the big black monster thing.

Question about one thing in Thor Love and Thunder. I've spoiler tagged the question, so click and drag to read it, and please don't quote it in a reply (or it will become visible).

If Thor can travel to the Shadow Realm using Zeus' Thunderbolt, and Jane can do the same using Mjolnir and riding Pegasus, then why did they need to ride aboard Aegir along the Bifrost for? And after Thor summon Stormbreaker back to the Shadow Realm, after Jane was freed, he could have thrown it back out into space and later used Thunderbolt to get themselves and the kids back to Earth.

Did I miss something?

Love n Thunder. Id rate Ragnok above this one. Overall good movie if you love Ragnok before it. Like Madness theres a bit of a loose feeling towards the structure of the movie. The chemistry between Thor and Jane was good. Surprised Zeus had his accent, the character was a bit too comical for being the head god of gods. Wonder if any gods dissappeared in the snap? Were they angry at Thanos for doing what he did? 🤔 questions questions

Recently watched "Children of Man", I think It is a truly fantastic film, Great story, strong characters, and excellent performances. The long shots are beautifully intense and intimate.
I have always been a fan of Alfonso Curon, and when I found out he was making this movie, I expected good things.

One would assume that Gods would be above the power of the snap? Maybe? Reagrdless, the Avengers unsnapped, so any gods that might have been snapped would've been back.

Zeus struck me as a very comedic interpretation, Ole Russel Crowe doing a very Con the Fruiterer accent there, which while I personally found somewhat amusing could put others off. What I did like was that Zeus is generally not very nice chap and that came across here rather well. As soon as I heard them talk about Zeus, I immediately though "Is Hercules going to show up as well?" And he did.

Ragnarok was definitely a better movie. Love & Thunder while not terrible, would've benefitted from being a bit more focused in my humble opinion. It seemed to do a fair bit of things that were funny for no particulars reason. Or just because they did it in that other Thor movie.

The goats are good. I didnt want to say Con the fruiterer but yes any aussie would be reminded of him, I was eluding to him in my comments about the comical aspect

Watched Minions, The Rise of Gru.

Cute (of course) and well worth a look when you have time. Does it do anything new and amazing? No. Is it a watchable movie? Yes. If you have some spare time and want a bit of relaxing, easy entertainment, it's worth it.
