Fantastic Beasts: Crimes of Grindelwald quickly dashes any hopes of improving against the first film. While the movie has a multitude of flaws, there is one major issue that is a consistent plague: the lack of a cohesive story.

Ever since “Mario Tennis Power Tour,” the series has been rather disappointing on multiple fronts. The lack of modes, mechanics, and customization in recent entries pushed me away from playing them entirely. However, with the promises that Nintendo made for “Mario Tennis Aces,” there is a lot that the game has to live up to.

It took 14 years, but it is finally here. Due to this incredible (no pun intended) amount of time, Incredibles 2 has a lot to live up to. Before the movie had even officially started, the people who put the film together put out a thank-you for the audience. It was a nice touch, especially since the wait has been this long.
The major question that lingered in my mind was how the film would pick up from the previous installment. Interestingly, Incredibles 2 chooses to start exactly from the end of the first film. While this is welcoming to older audiences, this could be more difficult for younger children who have not seen the first movie.
