Disney+
Jan (Age 11): ★★★★★
"Amazing movie! I loved every second of it! My favourite characters in this film were Peter Parker ( Spider-Man), Tony Stark( Iron Man), Vision, Steve Rogers( Captain America), and Peter Quill( Star Lord). The last few scenes, in my opinion, were the best, as they were action-packed and full of drama. Thanos is a scary figure in this film, but Thor is incredibly powerful - he got closer to killing Thanos than any other Avenger or Gaurdian. The film was great all-round. There wasn't a moment i didn't enjoy watching. I am watching Ant man and the Wasp next, I hope it is going to be an awesome film!"
Avengers: Endgame
Daniel (Age 12) - ★★★★★
"Avengers Endgame is one of the best movie I've ever watched.
It has amazing characters and a brilliant ending.
My favourite character was Captain America with Thanos being a close second.
Overall it is one of the best movies and the Marvel movie to end all Marvel movies.
I would recommend to any viewer of any age."

Season 4:
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."
