I saw Jumanji 2 a couple of weeks ago and would give in 7/10. It's very entertaining and hasn't spoilt my memories of the old Jumanji.

BLACK PANTHER ! SO GOOD! I normally hate superhero movies but this one was amazing. I was truly thrilled throughout the entire thing.

The most recent movie I saw was Miseinen dakedo kodomo janai (loose translation of the title: I'm a minor, but not a child) I loved it :D I'm not usually a romance type, but one of my favorite actors Yuri Chinen was in it, and the story was surprisingly good

Woo! Movies are great.
Last one I saw was Cinderella, with Lily James and Richard Madden, directed by Sir Kenneth Branagh.

Wow. A truly magical and inspiring film relatively close to the story we all know, but showing a new feature I consider very precious: the message that kindness is more important than anything, and that kindness will get you to a better place. Lily James with her gracious nature is a good casting choice, just like Richard Madden, both talented actors who added a golden veil of happiness to the film. Their portrayal of the characters felt authentic and like the characters can actually be taken as role models for children, I actually believe this is one of the best films for children in the wide ocean of media.
I loved it, every little detail Branagh managed to put into it, and appreciated the overall feeling of it. It is a wonderful thing if you are presented with the evil side (the evil stepmother and the stepsisters) and are aware that they treat Ella miserably but you can still laugh about them and don't feel too scared or terrified.

This film definitely gets a 10/10 from me and my sister, who also loves the film with all her heart.

Warcraft. It was a really good fantasy action movie. I give it a solid 9 out of 10!

Then we have two of my favorite actors finally in a movie together for the first time. Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks. And the you have for director Steven Spielberg? I mean come on right? You have to see it if you haven't. I rate it 5/5

Added to my list, thanks for the suggestions!

I really need to see Black Panther! I never watch any movies anymore. The last one that I watched was Thor: Ragnarok. I'd definitely recommend it though, if anyone hasn't gotten around to watching it. It's pretty darn funny.

Just saw Darkest Hour in preparation for the Oscars. It was the last of the Best Pic nominees I hadn't seen.

A historical film about the appointment of Winston Churchill to the position of Prime Minister during the height of the German invasion of France, the movie follows Churchill's uphill attempt to keep Britain in the fight against fascism despite political pressure on all sides to parley with Adolf Hitler and sue for peace in order to protect the safety of the British people. It's a slow-burning political thriller directed by Joe Wright, who directed one of my favourite films, Atonement, but stumbles in his overly polite portrayal of a complicated historical legend. Despite its tight direction and visual artistry, the movie follows the beats of Oscar Bait filmmaking to an unfortunate degree, making a potentially gripping, morally complicated story into something more superficial.

I'd rate Darkest Hour 3.5/5. It's not bad, but not Best Picture material. Watch Atonement instead.

Black panther.
This movie has embraced the diverse cultures of Africa. It has embraced the beauty of being a strong, intelligent, beautiful and wise African woman.
It has embraced the beauty of an African forest with its beautiful production that's never intended for harm.
I like the creativity of the places used and the excellent technology used. Maybe we will reach there someday.
Kingship leadership, loyalty, and culture expressed very well, and I particularly like the fact that if those who went before us did wrong, correction better be made.
I have loved the passion of expression of the characters and the songs were African.
Ancestral worship is real in Africa as shown in the movie and I think it was expressed as it probably is.
I give the movie 9/10 .

The last movie I saw was "Murder on the Orient Express". To be honest, it wasn't a movie of my choosing. In the end, I was glad that my friend suggested it. Turned out to be a great movie!

:D Yah. Black Panther expressed the different cultures and believes of unique tribes. Camera angles and performance are very nice. You should watch it.
I like 'Thor and adventures movies as well. :D

Lately I saw a Spanish jaw-dropper called 'The Invisible Guest'. It is a thriller and I had low expectations. It totally blew me away. I give it 10 out of 10.
