"This was an absolutely amazing movie that is defo in my top 10.
The cinematography was stunning and the acting was perfect. My favourite scene was when they dropped the nuclear bomb because of how much tension there was before you could actually hear it. This movie is definitely the best I’ve seen as far as it goes cast wise with some of the greatest actors of our generation starring in the film. Even though this films run time was around 3 hours, because of the amazing pacing it felt like it passed very quickly. My favourite character was J.

Overall this was an amazing masterpiece of a film I could recommend to anyone who enjoys movies."

Daniel - ★★★★★
"Stranger things season four was amazing.
It had great action with good drama and amazing characters. One of my favourite parts of it is that there is always multiple stories going on at once in different parts of the world. I also thought that it had a few plot twists which were extremely surprising. My favourite character by a lot is Steve because he is funny and really cool.
Over all stranger things season 4 was a great season with action, comedy and drama."

Sandy (Age 9) - ★★★★★
"Wednesday is Netflix’s new (ish) comedy series starring Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega), bringing back some old Addams family characters such as Morticia Addams, Gomez Addams, Pugsley Addams and Thing Addams. Also introducing new characters like Enid (Emma Myers) and Tyler. The best character (in my opinion) was Thing, the hand, he is funnier than the rest. I can’t wait for season 2. Have you seen the show?"
