Advantages: great storyline don't loose interest
Disadvantages: Scar's gone

My daughter and I both loved the first edition, particulary the hyenas. Thankfully the hyenas are still in the second story. We loved the hyena who had the hysterical laughter, each time he laughed we laughed till we cried. In the first one particulary loved the evil Scar, and thought maybe the second one would not be as good as his character had been killed off. It did lack that magic that Scar brought with the first one, but it was still very funny, ...
...the characters are memorable. Would gladly recommend for any ages. Great for watching anytime of the day. It would be even better if watched with an extremely large bag of popcorn. I paid seventeen pound from Woolworths for this Dvd, but ebay sell them for £10.00, and Amazon sell for 11.99 for new and used. ... Read review

Advantages: Wonderful songs, great animation
Disadvantages: More for the girls!

A beautiful Disney film. I have to say, I could really feel the Disney magic and charm when I watched this film. I absolutely love it, it is a timeless classic. It has a wonderful soundtrack which was adapted from the Tchaikovsky score and classic Disney songs that everyone knows the words to! The story revolves around the Princess Aurora, who at her birth receives presents from the good fairies of wit and beauty, but the wicked fairy who is angry ...
...on the Princess that she will prick her finger on a spindle on reaching adulthood and die. Although the spell can't be reversed, the good fairies manage to alter the spell so that she won't die, but fall in to a deep sleep until awoken by the kiss of a Prince. Of course, she pricks her finger on a spindle, despite the Kingdom burning every spindle that they have. And Aurora falls asleep, waiting for her Prince to come and wake her up… The film ...

Advantages: Almost everything
Disadvantages: It is aimed at a younger audience

This is a great feel good, full of action, romance and humour. I highly recommend it!! It is one of those films that simply ticks all the boxes, almost to the point of too well. But I love this film. Plot The film begins by introducing us to the idea of the Cube, also known as the All Spark. This object has the power to create worlds and the life upon them. The problem however started when a fight breaks out between the Autobots and the Decepticons, ...
...a war between (yes you guessed it) good and evil. The Cube ends up being lost, but in search for it they are led to Earth. We are then shown two separate scenes, which appear worlds apart, but naturally are connected. On the one hand we have a group of US military who are returning to their base, which is then attacked by a Decepticon. In the other scene we have Sam Witwicky, played by Shia LaBeouf, a 11th grader whose Father is going to buy him ... Read review

Advantages: looks good
Disadvantages: nothing like jumanji

I'll start by saying this film has nothing to do with the world of Jumanji. There are children in a house who play a board game which comes to life and takes the house into "The Twilight Zone" (Sorry to Rod Serling for sullying his product but I had no other comparison). The similarity ends right there. Take Tim Robbins, a divorced working dad bringing up 2 sons and a daughter. So our first question is why didn't mum get custody? Oh, and in case ...
...The kids wreck one of his drawings that he needs for a meeting (why his study isn't locked and why he has a drink that can spill anywhere near his work are never addressed. Dad pops out to work (can you say Home Alone? Quick call Social Services, he abandoned his kids!) and the kids start playing and are very quickly pulled into the world of Zathura where you know they are going to learn moral lessons about getting on with each other and learning ...

Advantages: looks nice
Disadvantages: too complicated

...story this complicated. We get the tiny explanation at the start which is practically useless. This film was made for those who have read the book, which I haven't. I found the film incredibly inaccessible to me. It's too long winded, far too self important and self indulgent. It requires a narrator and I found myself getting bored after less than 30 minutes (less than 1/3 of the way through). The film didn't hold my attention very well (it'd struggle ...
...didn't care about any of the characters or the plot at all, the film was that interesting (ie:- not at all). I won't try to explain the plot (as I didn't really understand much of it) other than to say it seems to follow the voyage of a girl and people trying to discover a path from their realm into alternate realities & others trying to stop them doing that. None of the characters were compelling enough to pique my interest, likewise the animal ... Read review
