The Magic Faraway Tree Review

     The cinematic adaption of Enid Blyton's book series The Faraway Tree is now in cinemas. Director Ben Gregor adapts the books which started in 1939 for modern day audiences in The Magic Faraway Tree .  Will the film charm audiences the way the books have for decades? Unfortunately, for a film that should be full of wonder and magic, it falls flat for the majority of the run time, unable to reach its full potential. There is a healthy dose of whimsey, but not enough to save it. Read on for my full review, spoilers will be minor.  Read my latest reviews HERE .    There are a few outcomes when adapting novels into films.

Avengers Infinity War Appreciation

on
So today I finally got to see the film we've all been waiting for: Avengers Infinity War! and Oh My! Just want to highlight that this post is not a review I will post that asap but I want to wait until more people have had the chance to get to the cinema so this is spoiler free! 

When I sat down in the cinema today I felt excited, when the trailers ended I was engulfed with this excited tension and I remained that way to the very end (Remember this is a Marvel film so stay till the end!). I usually feel excited when going to the cinema but not in this way. 



This film was amazing, I have no words for how I currently feel, I am still Buzzing. At points I cried and at other times I wanted to stand up with sheer excitement. I loved this film. It is a true credit to everything that Marvel is and to the 10 year journey we have all been on. It's the film the characters, fans, cast and crew deserve. Everything from the visual to the score is just stunning. 

As I said this is not a review so I won't say much more other than: go see this film! This film is the reason I want to be part of the film industry. 

Marvel I take my hat off to you. 

Review to follow so make sure to check back. 

Please let me know what you though of the film 

Thank you for reading.
