Pros –
1) Olenna’s badass confession.
2) Bronn almost killing Drogon.
3) Bran & Arya’s return to Winterfell.
4) Suicide mission beyond the wall led by Jon Snow. Beric & Thoros fighting wights with flaming swords was truly amazing.
5) Uncle Benjen’s 2nd rescue beyond the wall. Under-rated character deserves a big spin-off.
Cons –
1) Way too fast as compared to past 6 seasons.
2) Too many online theories corrupted the show for us.We are ourselves to blame.
3) Unnecessary obligatory sex-scenes

Pros –
1) A fitting conclusion with intersecting time-lines and rich back-story

3) Final cliffhanger with Lin Shaye means James Wan got few more cards under his sleeves
Cons –
1) A horror story always lose it’s shine when the story unfolds and viewers start to connect the dots.

Pros –
1) Agatha Christie’s story remains the backbone of this movie.
2) Huge ensemble cast.
3) Ingrid Bergman as Greta Ohlsson – her broken English and timid character is first-rate.
Cons –

Pros –
1) A true prequel to Fight Club, a strong satire with timeless characters way-way ahead of its time
2) Monologues. 3 monologues from Mad Prophet, 1 from Jensen, 2 from Schumacher, 2 from Diana. Apart from the mad prophetic rant from Beale, Jensen’s blunt acceptance was top notch – “We no longer live in a world of nations and ideologies, Mr. Beale. The world is a college of corporations, inexorably determined by the immutable bylaws of business. The world is a business, Mr. Beale.”
3) Must give credit to Paddy Chayefsky for the Original Screenplay.
4) Faye Dunaway as Diana Christensen – A ruthless corporate mad about ratings.
5) Strong supporting cast.

Verdict – 4/5
Pros –
1) A must watch for moviegoers to know why Katharine Hepburn is the greatest female star.60 year old Hepburn playing Queen Eleanor opposite to 25 years younger Peter O’Toole.
2) The realistic approach by director showing the king Henry II ruling a palace which looks like a cow-shed.
3) The whole movie is filled with witty one-liners.
4) The chemistry of Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine is shown as an epitome of love-hate relationship of a power-couple.
5) Probably one of the greatest Christmas film where Christmas is the not the central theme like Die Hard.
Cons –
1) 134 minute running time will make this historical drama tedious.

Pros –
1) Swamp Thing – DC needs to work more on this character.
Cons –
1) Unfortunately, the PG approach didn’t click at all.
2) 2 songs in a 74 minutes DC animated film?
3) Harley pulling a puss-in-boots move.
Quote –
Batman: You are the walking definition of “loose cannon”, Harley. For all I know, you might decide at the last minute that Ivy’s plan doesn’t sound so cockeyed after all, because the wind changed direction. Or because it’s Thursday.

4) Priyanka Chopra as Victoria Leeds – a weak fancy annoying character with zero scope
5) For the director Seth Gordon, another reason to quit hollywood.
