loved the gore, the designs of the creatures, and the overall plot. didn't love the fakeout ending.

I absolutely love the development han gets in rotj, the cliff hanger of him being frozen in carbonite at the end of esb to his epic rescue in this films opening act has to be one of the best ways a star wars project has ever made the audience fear for a characters safety. luke, leia, lando, and even Vader all have amazing character progression throughout the film- with the ending being a perfect conclusion to the story scored to some of john williams best work ever. I love the special effects, the cinematography, the sound design, the acting, the score- once again, it's star wars, it's good. overall, a perfect ending to the trilogy and a stellar star wars film all around. han and luke both getting some serious character development throughout.

(spoiler warning- how the hell have you not seen star wars?) still 100% my favourite star wars film, and always will be. the progression Luke's character has in this film, along with the romance between Leia and Han and the interactions between Luke and Vader all make ESB one of the best sci-fi films ever made. The fight scene between Luke and Vader is perfectly tense and devestating, Luke's training with Yoda works perfectly to further convey the power of the force to both Luke and the audience, and Han's ultimate sacrifice of himself to save the rest of the group is a perfect near climax for the film that leaves the audience in awe as for what to expect next. overall, the story is great, the visuals are great, the characters are great, the world building is great, the score is great- it's star wars, it's great.

a seriously enjoyable bond film, with a great over arching narrative that aims to tie all the prior craig films together in a neat little bow, and that's features stellar performances from daniel craig as bond (obviously), ralp fiennes as the new M, ben whishaw as Q, and of course christoph waltz as blofeld. the film also includes the signature breathtaking cinematography that has become a staple of craig's bond films, though to a lesser level than skyfall achieved. overall, an enjoyable albeit very slightly forgettable bond film with all around great action sequences (the train fight with batista was sick), acting, and cinematography. a nice addition to craig's timeline as bond.
