Rating: 4.2/5 Review: "Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice 3D IMAX movie review" "Batman V Superman may have a disjointed plot but is saved from its stunning action scenes, visual effects and brief but decent emotional development of Batman and Superman." Batman V Superman has to be one of the most anticipated film of the year. Who doesn't want to see two iconic superheroes clash head to head? Unfortunately when the review embargo was lifted, critics were not amused; it scores a low 30% on rotten tomatoes. The thing is that director Zack Snyder is never viewed positively by most critics. So is the sequel to Man of Steel really as bad as what the critics say? I would say not. The story: First of all, Zack has a penchant for attractive visuals and action scenes. And it shows in this. Most of the action scenes happens in the third act. So what happen in the first and second acts? Critics have complained of its disjointed plot. I would agree to some extent

Rating: 3.5/5 Review: "The Shannara Chronicles season 1 TV review" For a TV fantasy series, the scope and visuals are pretty decent considering TV series do not have the budget as a film would have.  Aside from decent visuals, The Shannara Chronicles is fairly engaging though it veers off to the safe fantasy young adult romance cliches. Episode 1-10: Adapted from the popular novels, the first episode spends little time introducing the massive amount of characters, clans, the world and whatnot. It thrusts straight into the story where Ellcrys, an ancient tree, is dying.  Amberle, the Elven princess, must set on a journey to save it. Each episode is one step closer to the goal. Friendship and romance are forged. For a young adult series, it surprisingly has many deaths, major and minor alike. The pacing may not be as fast-paced as some big-budget fantasy films but it is packed with enough conflicts and action. Honestly, I would rather watch a condensed 3 hours film rath
