Madoka, the magical girl

Spoiled everything possible, and even half of what shouldn't have been, back when this cartoon was first released. I didn't want to watch it for a long time, but I still decided to give it a try.

+ Amazing ending theme, generally interesting concept and plot; the atmosphere is well-maintained, and the designs are also interesting.
- I expected more of a hardcore experience, but the ending is ridiculously light; however, I wasn't too upset. The characters didn't resonate with me, and it didn't evoke much emotional response.
= 6/10, a decent short film for one or two evenings, I wasn't impressed, but I don't regret watching it. Perhaps it would have been more enjoyable if I had started watching it as a fun, silly thing like Sailor Moon, but we don't need such surprises.

P.S. I want to complain about Kissanime, the navigation and interface are terrible, there's a lot of advertising, it complains about ad blockers, and there are no subtitles for the last episode, so I had to watch it dubbed. Well, there are no episodes with subtitles for adult cartoons either, so it could have been worse.

- I expected a more intense experience, but the ending was surprisingly light; however, I wasn't too upset. The characters didn't resonate with me, and it didn't evoke any emotional response.

Check out the movie clips. Specifically, the ones that continue the storyline, rather than just retelling it.

lots of ads, complains about adblock

Use uBlock.

And here's a bonus.

I spoiled that there will be Yuri in it >_>. And, honestly, I'm not sure I want to continue exploring this universe.

what will be there, Yuri?

First, it's a shoujo-ai. Second, it was already bad in the first part.

Well, I decided not to include it in the list of drawbacks and just let it go; there’s plenty of fun to be had anyway.

The navigation and interface are quite strange.

That's odd, because in my opinion, it's very minimalist and user-friendly. The navigation is simple: you either type in the search bar or open the alphabetical list; nothing extraordinary. The only thing that might be annoying is the drop-down menu with blocks of 5-10 titles, each with sub-, dub-, season-related additions.

There's a lot of advertising, and it complains about ad blockers.

I haven't seen a single ad, nor have I encountered any complaints from the website. I use Firefox with AdBlock Plus and NoScript (and I didn't even have to allow anything except the main website, which is rare for 2018).

Also, the latest episode with subtitles isn't available, so I had to watch it dubbed.

I checked just to be sure, and it's all there. Perhaps you visited a malicious imposter website that's filled with miners, banners, and viruses?

Avengers: Infinity War
I went to see it relatively early in the morning, so I managed to avoid the crowds in the halls and the crunching of cheap popcorn with sweet drinks.

The plot is good, simple, understandable, and continues the main idea of the series. The creators managed to group and convey a large amount of information in a clear and accessible way;
The heroes are very well developed, the only thing is that it is clearly felt that some of them definitely need more screen time;
The villain is revealed more than in all the previous films combined; his motivation, goals, and character are shown;
There are plenty of action scenes and special effects;
I didn't get bored at all during the entire film, despite its considerable length;
The only important drawback is that it requires prior knowledge of at least the key characters from the previous installments;
I was very pleased with the ending, but this is for subjective reasons;
In conclusion: I recommend it to everyone who is familiar with this series, is not afraid to be seen watching a superhero movie, and is not a pretentious snob (therefore, the recommendation is more for non-Hive players);
Objectively, it is the best film in this universe so far;
9/10

I also watched the Avengers today. Yes, it's better to watch the previous films beforehand, at least the latest ones, as the plot starts right after Thor: Ragnarok.
Overall, it's not bad, some moments were especially enjoyable, including the final dialogue between Iron Man and Spider-Man. However, you spend almost the entire film anticipating an EPIC climax, which partially begins, but it's not enough. As for the ending, I have two possible scenarios for the continuation. But considering the post-credits scene, one of them seems more likely.
The scene with the Eye for Thor didn't quite work for me.

Cowboy Bebop

Well, it's a cult anime.
+ It's really good; however, due to a couple of scenes, it's strictly 18+. The atmosphere is very cool, and the opening is amazing.
- It's not quite my style; it's more of an action and shooting game. In my opinion, the characters could have been better.
= 7/10. Unlike "Firefly," I was able to watch this, even with some interest and enjoyment. But again, not wow.

I'm walking through Moscow
Well, it's a funny movie, for sure. And it has a very atmospheric feel, with positive vibes. But... it's boring. The plot is of the "this is how we and our friends live" type, there's no clear storyline or message. I would only recommend it to retro fans.
Defenders
I watched the beginning of the movie to laugh at this trash, and it fully met my expectations. Absolutely absurd. One hundred percent.
Well, after the introduction of all the characters, I turned it off, of course. Otherwise, it's dangerous to overdo it with these "mushrooms."
Breaking Point (USA, 2012)
Throughout the entire film, I kept trying to understand if I had really turned off "Defenders"? Or maybe this is a sequel? In short, this film also seems like some kind of parody; everyone was laughing.

Avengers: Age of Ultron.
I've been meaning to watch this for a while, it was starting to feel like a gap in my knowledge.
Well, it was better than I expected, but Ultron is a rather boring villain, of course. The mutant duo was more interesting; I'm glad they were included, they added some tension. And then Quicksilver, one of the coolest characters, stupidly died saving the most pathetic and useless guy. What a shame...
6/10

Avengers: Infinity War.
Well, unlike what some people say, I can't say that this is the best Marvel movie. I enjoyed Ant-Man and Thor 3 more at the time. However, it's good, closer to the upper end. In my opinion, they did a good job of distributing screen time among the various characters (a real achievement), introduced a good villain (Marvel doesn't often burden itself with coming up with decent motivations, and they had been building up to this encounter for a long time, developing the intrigue)... To talk about the unpleasant moments, I'll have to spoil a bit: Peter Parker, why are you whining before you die, why? I thought that after "Homecoming," Spider-Man couldn't be made any more pathetic, but I was wrong again, haha. There were, of course, other minor things, but that hit me the hardest.
But overall, it's good, lots of action, a great atmosphere of a big brawl, they don't forget about humor, and Star-Lord is an idiot.
8/10

Well, he's 15, so it's actually normal, and it's a good thing.

Hmm, actually, no.

Black Panther.
It's about some savages with vibranium, quite specific. There's only one truly intelligent person in the whole country, and no, it's not the main character. It's his sister. Well, overall, it's unclear what it's about; I was also going to watch it and fill in the gaps in the Marvel universe, but after the movie, it became clear that it wasn't necessary. They didn't even properly explain where Barnes came from in their Wakanda. 5/10

Justice League (2017)
Sometimes I watch something and forget to report. Reporting: nonsense.
More precisely, there's one good moment in the movie.

-- Batman, what's your superpower?
-- Money.

That's it. I didn't connect with the rest. In some places, the movie looks boring, and in others, it's silly.
