Bringing back almost all of the original cast & updating the time to the early 70's, Ralphy/Ralph is now a grown man, returning to his childhood home with his family. This update is very well written with nice pacing and completely believable set-up-situations. Everything presented flows naturally & organically. It all makes perfect sense which I never expected. The acting is great, it's funny & sentimental. This could very well become it's own Christmas Classic. Laughter & a few honest to goodness tears.

Nice review. I watched it last night. I'd probably rank it a 7.5 or 8. It is definitely better than I thought it would be and I actually think it might get better on subsequent viewings. A little slow in parts but overall, a worthy successor to the original.

I think both can be true. Namorwas d1ck, and you probably like d1ck characters.

Namor was good, I enjoyed the character a lot. He did NOT come to #%@^@ around with the Wakandans. He was all business.

True Lies - 9/10 - Rewatched this movie today (it's on Hulu) after not having seen it for many, many years. Still absolutely love it. Perfect blend of action and comedy. It's a crime that it hasn't been released on Blu Ray or 4K.

Black Adam- 7/10
Not bad really, just lacked character development overall, which definitely hurt it.

Guardian?s Christmas Special 8/10
Definitely was funny, just wish it was a bit longer.

Was also very effective at tying the 2 movies together. The acting is great, it's funny & sentimental. This could very well become it's own Christmas Classic.

I?d give it about a 6 or 7/10. Done in the same vane as the original. Was great they were able to get so many of the original actors. Didn?t have the same feel as the original but honestly they didn?t ruin the show like many sequels do.
