Reviews and Recommendayshes

43:53 – Forgotten Island (Bryan)

I guess, sure…maybe I’m racially biased though?

Definitely a lot of Filipino Leo pointing.

But as fair of a review as I can give it: the animation was fantastic and the story had a lot of heart. I don’t know if I’d call it my favourite animated film, but it was definitely worth the watch.

45:05 – Avengers: Endgame (Encore) (Bryan)

100% one you can either read about or look for clips online and not have to buy a ticket.

But it was pretty cool seeing Endgame on the big screen again.

They changed absolutely nothing with the main movie, which is good (but I kinda wish I knew that going it because I needed to pee halfway through but was scared I’d miss an added scene). The additional footage came right at the end (four, to be exact). I enjoyed them (I think I enjoyed the third one most). But if you wanna know about those, they’re pretty much all over the internet.
