Review of Spider-Man: Far From Home

I have seen Spider-Man: Far From Home, and I enjoyed it.

In the film, Peter Parker is still dealing with the loss of Tony Stark, so he hopes that the school trip to Europe will help him.  But things are never that straight forward, when he's asked by Nick Fury to stop a new threat.

We get to see a couple of old faces come back and we find ourselves wondering what is real for Peter.  The jokes between the relationships of characters give an added piece of humour to the film.  Nothing was always has it seemed to us too.  Skrulls appearing in Nick Fury's place while the real Fury seemed to be on holiday on a space station, and then there's the question, (Spoiler Alert!) now that Peter's secret is out, what is he to do now?

I hope that you will come see and enjoy at Eden Court.

130th Blog Post - Review of the Lion King

I have watched The Lion King, and I was impressed.

The new version may be almost be a complete remake, but I enjoyed the additional scenes that were added, such as when Nala left to find help, and some additional jokes, like the reference to another Disney song Be Our Guest from Beauty and the Beast.  In the original film, the subject on how Scar got his scar and name is never explained, but in this version we only get a hint.

There may be debate on whether or not the film is animation (due to the animals), or live action (with the stunning scenes and African backgrounds), but I'd say that the film can be both.  The animation was very well done, I can't image the hard work that must have gone into it all.

Hearing James Earl Jones's voice as Mufusa sometimes makes me wonder if he enjoyed returning to one of his most famous roles.  Chiwetel Ejiofor's role as Scar most certainly captured the evil character I grew up watching as Jeremy Irons did in the original.  Listening to the old songs that every Lion King fan knows and loves made me feel that the film was The Lion King.

So well done Jon Favreau.  In the adverts at the start of the film, we, the audience, saw the trailer for Spider-Man: Far From Home where Favreau's character Happy makes an appearance and has to think of a "new plan", I joke to myself "Perhaps he should try Hakuna Matata."

I hope that you will come, see and enjoy at Eden Court.
