I really enjoyed both of the Owlcat Pathfinder games. Kingmaker is not really that challenging if you know what to do. I maintained my kingdom as “Serene” even when the main villain ratches up her attacks. The only creatures that are really challenging are the Wild Hunt but there are strategies to deal with them. Turn based is the best choice overall. WOTC is also great. Everyone seems to have an opinion and none are the same so single reviews are of limited value.

But this just isn’t a good movie. It’s ponderous, with long stretches where we’re meant to be sufficiently entertained by intricate and well-done fireworks alone. There are long sequences where nothing is happening but a display of technical know how by the movie maker. Yawn.

Writing is so-so, plot is languid, characters are underdeveloped or boring, much of it is predictable – not even Michael Caine can save it. He’s wasted, telling us over and over not to go gentle into that good night.

The very beginning with the always great John Lithgow, and the rest of the family is the best part. The rest was a big – and much too long – letdown. So boring.
