I know I normally write reviews on here, and I will keep doing that, but I wrote these five articles about Game of Thrones that I think fans would really like, so I'm sharing them here.

The Equalizer 2
I saw The Equalizer 2 recently, and it was really good. This is Denzel Washington's first sequel, and it was a great sequel. Robert McCall is back serving justice to those who need it, and when his friend is murdered it becomes very personal.
The Equalizer 2 is just as good as the first, and I loved every minute of this one like the first movie. The story isn't anything new, but just to see Washington dish out that justice is just sweet. The action is very well done, and Antoine Fuqua has another great movie under his belt. He knows how to direct, and his action sequences are smooth, and very precise. Denzel is great as usual, and just like Benicio del Toro in Sicario, Equalizer is Denzel's franchise.
In the end, The Equalizer 2 is a really fun action movie that you should definitely see as soon as you can; especially if you liked the first one. It is a worthy sequel, and I hope it does well enough that they make more.

Skyscraper
I saw the film Skyscraper a couple of weeks ago, and it was a descent movie. This movie is like most of Dwayne Johnson's recent films where it is pretty much a fun movie, but nothing you have to see. Johnson plays a character you can get behind, and he tries to save his family. The acting is fine, and the action is entertaining.
Skyscraper is a movie that takes place now, but resembles a '90s action movie. What I mean is that this movie is a lot of fun, and you aren't bored, but it isn't anything special, or really good either. It isn't bad, but it is a one time watch for me. It is a film where if you are looking for something to see at the theaters, and there isn't anything else you want to see, you can definitely see this and not regret it. Also, if you miss it you aren't missing anything mind blowing.
In the end, Skyscraper is a fun movie that you can see if your bored, and have a good time, but nothing you have to see in theaters. I would see it if you really like Dwayne Johnson, or if you are bored one night. Otherwise you aren't missing anything.

Ant-Man and the Wasp
I saw Ant-Man and the Wasp a couple of weeks ago, and it was so much fun. After the events of Infinity War I really liked this movie because it was so much more lighthearted. It still had the great action, drama, and effects, but I laughed a lot in this film, and I loved that.
After the events of Civil War, Scott is under house arrest, but when he starts having visions of Hope's mother Hope and Hank ask for his help to get her back. During these experiments a new villain shows up that it takes both Scott and Hope to battle this new enemy.
I really liked this film, and it was nice to have a comical Marvel film after the lat movie. Ant-Man and the Wasp is another great Marvel film that has everything you want, and a little more. In the end, you should definitely see this movie as quickly as possible; especially if you liked the first Ant-Man, or your looking for a really fun comic book movie.

Sicario: Day of the Soldado
I saw Sicario: Day of the Soldado recently, and it was really good. I liked the first one a little better, but this is a great sequel. Josh Brolin and Benicio Del Toro return for this one, and they are doing their assignment differently this time around. This time instead of just going after one person they are starting a war between two families within Mexico. Even though I like the first one a little more I still really like this one for a few reasons.
The main reason is Del Toro because this is his movie, and you aren't complaining about that one bit. This character was made for him, and you you can't help but want more every time he is on screen. You learn more about his family this time around, and it makes you more sympathetic for him this time. I really hope they make more of these because Del Toro is perfect, and I can't help but want more from his character. A few of the other reasons why I really liked this film is Brolin's character is just as enthralling as Del Toro, the action when it happens is well shot, and the story is just pure entertaining.
In the end, Sicario: Day of the Soldado isn't as good as the first film, but still really good. It is so good that you definitely need to see this as soon as possible, especially if you liked the first one. It's a really good sequel, and I hope enough see this one so they make a third. I want more in the series, and I hope we get more.

Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom
I saw Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom a few weeks ago, and I had fun with this movie. They didn't do anything too new from previous films except for one character, but I saw the twist coming a mile away. The story is a little different, but this one is very similar to The Lost World Jurassic Park. What I mean is that in both films they go to an island with the dinosaurs on it, and then after something happens on that island they take some of the creatures to the U.S., and they end up escaping.
Fallen Kingdom does some things different to make its own film, but I can't review it without mentioning that it is similar. Chris Pratt is the best part as always; he is just a likable character, and you can't help but want to see him succeed. Bryce Dallas Howard is not as annoying this time around, and they made her a much better person this film, which made me like her more than last time. The effects and action were really cool, and made for a really fun movie.
In the end, Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom is a descent sequel, and if you liked the previous movie you will probably like this one as well. It isn't a perfect action movie, and there are better Jurassic Park movies, but this isn't the worst either. I'll say you don't have to see it as soon as possible, but if you like the franchise, or even the last film you should see this installment.

Solo A Star Wars Story
Now I saw Solo A Star Wars Story a while ago, but when I did see it I thought it was a really fun movie. I think Star Wars is getting so much hate right now because fans have a certain expectation, and when it doesn't meet those exact standards the movie is horrible for everyone else. That just isn't the case, and I think fans just need to take a breath and realize these are just movies.
Anyways, Solo is the origin story of the infamous Han Solo, and I think they did a really good job with this film, and I hope they make more in this series. First, let me say Harrison Ford was a fantastic Han Solo, but Alden Ehrenreich did a great job. I bought completely that he was Han, and it is an origin story, so he had breathing room to make the character his own, which he did. Everyone else was fine in their roles, and Donald Glover was really good.
The action was well filmed, and the effects were great as expected for a film like this. In the end, if you just give the movie a chance I think you can really enjoy this film. It gives us a story of how one of the best characters from the Star Wars universe started on his journey. You don't need to see Solo A Star Wars Story as soon as possible, but I do think you should definitely see it when you get a chance. Give it a shot, and I think you might be surprised by how fun the movie truly is.

Deadpool 2
I saw Deadpool 2 this past weekend, and even though I do like the first one better, this is still a very fun sequel. This movie, like the first one is really funny. I think more of the jokes land in Deadpool, but more jokes land than not land in Deadpool 2.
Once again Ryan Reynolds plays the smart mouthed anti-hero perfectly. They couldn't have found a better actor to play this character. He understands the character, and his comedic timing is spot on. Now this movie was directed by someone new, but I think David Leitch did a really good job.
Not every joke may land, but I think the action was very well done. It is just as brutal, and just as funny as the first. Not all the CGI is is the greatest, but it didn't take me out of the film at all.
In the end, if you loved the first Deadpool you should definitely see Deadpool 2 in theaters as soon as you can. You don't have to see it on the biggest screen, but I think you should still see it on a movie screen.

Ready Player One
I saw Ready Player One recently, and this movie was awesome! I had so much fun with this film, and everyone needs to experience this movie. It is about the future where a man created a virtual reality world that is one big video game. Pretty much anything you can think of doing you can do in this world known as the Oasis. When this creator died though he left these keys behind in the Oasis, and you have to complete challenges to get each key, and when you collect all the keys you become the owner of the Oasis.
This film is just every movie watcher and video game player's dream come true. It combines genres into one epic adventure that needs to be seen on the biggest screen possible. Throughout the movie there are so many easter eggs from past movies and video games that you will probably have to see a bunch of times to find them all. The acting is well done, and like most of his films Spielberg did an incredible job directing. The effects are mind blowing, and I can't praise this movie enough. In the end, I think everyone should see Ready Player One as soon as you can in the theater. It is worth whatever price you pay.

Pacific Rim: Uprising
I saw Pacific Rim: Uprising, and even though it isn't as good as the first I still liked it. It is about Idris Elba's character's son taking over the program he started, and train the next generation of Jaeger Pilots to defend what comes next. If you are like me, and you went to see the first one to watch fights between big robots and big monsters then this has plenty of that to let you have a fun time.
This movie isn't great, but the action is good enough that you can turn your brain off for about two hours, and just watch some really cool fight scenes. John Boyega's character is interesting, and I wasn't expecting him to be the way he is, but I liked it. The other character they focus on who I liked was one of the new recruits Amara Namani. She has a past that isn't pleasant, but she is strong willed, and I was actually rutting for her.
Even though this was Steven S. DeKnight's first motion picture I think he did a descent job with such a big film. I also thought he did a good job with the action because I enjoyed all the fight scenes, and thought the effects looked really good. In the end, Pacific Rim: Uprising is a descent sequel that I think most fans of the original can have an enjoyable time with. I think it should be seen, but if you don't you aren't missing anything; if you do see it tough it should be seen in theaters because the action is better on a big screen.

Tomb Raider
I saw Tomb Raider a couple of weeks ago, and I had a good time with this movie. I think this is a step in a very right direction for video game movies. It wasn't perfect by any respect, but compared to past video game movies it definitely improves the odds.
The film is the origin story of Laura Croft, and how she begins her journey of collecting artifacts and saving the world from people who want to use those artifacts against the world. I think Alicia Vikander did a great job as Croft, and I actually like her version a little more than Angelina Jolie's version; even though they play two very different versions of the character. The action and special effects were pretty cool as well, and I think you can have a lot of fun with this film if you are looking for a fun movie to see.
There was one thing they did that I think they didn't really need to do; I didn't see it coming, but I don't think it was necessary for the story. It pertains to a character, and they show up about in the middle of the movie. They did nothing really, and if they left this person out I think we would still have the same film. Other than that I had a fun time with Tomb Raider, and in the end I think you should see it if you get a chance. It doesn't have to be in the theater, but I think you should still see it.

Altered Carbon
I watched the Netflix Series Altered Carbon pretty much right when it came out, and this show is incredible. If you have ever watched a series that just hooked you immediately then you will know what I experienced when I started this series.
Altered Carbon is about our world in the future where they figured out a way to keep people alive. The way they did it is that our bodies are no longer who we are, they are known as sleeves, and they are able to collect our essence and keep transferring it to a different sleeve as soon as we get old, or we are murdered.
This alone brings up the question of humanity, and if we should really be able to live forever. This show just really made me think about life, and it just interested me from the very beginning. I really hope this series gets another season, but if it doesn't everyone should watch it because it still wraps in a way that gives you closure, but still wanting more. The acting, action, and special effects are really good. Just one thing; like most of their shows this one is rated TV-MA, so it isn't for kids.
In the end, I think everyone should watch Altered Carbon as soon as you can. It is a really thought provoking action packed sci-fi series.

Black Panther
I saw Black Panther a while ago, and I liked it very much. Marvel just keeps doing very well with all of its films, and it makes me excited for anyone of them that comes out. I thought everything was well done; the acting, action, special effects, and the directing.
Ryan Coogler is a force to be reckoned with, and after this film I can't wait to see what he does next. My only complaint about Black Panther is the use of two villains. I don't think they should've done that because it made it feel like it was two movies put together as one. It didn't annoy me so much that I disliked the movie, but it still bothered me a little bit.
In the end, Black Panther is a great comic's book movie that I think everyone should see at least once. It is a really fun movie that a lot of people I think can have fun with.

Maze Runner: The Death Cure
I saw Maze Runner: The Death Cure recently, and for the final film in this trilogy I thought it was a great end to a really fun series. Most people liked the first, but really disliked the second movie; I on the other hand really liked both films. I thought they had a lot of cool action, and the stories were very interesting. The Death Cure isn't any different except it wraps up everything.
Now I'm not saying there aren't better action movies, but I still think if you liked the series so far, or at least the first movie, you can find a lot of enjoyment with this film. Acting wise everyone does a great job, but Dylan O'Brien definitely steals the show. He got hurt while filming, but he recovered and finished a solid movie. I first saw him on the show Teen Wolf, and he played one of my favorite characters. You may not like all his movies, but the one thing he definitely does is he puts everything he has into each role. I can't wait for him to do a really good movie, especially action, which everyone will be like wow. Until then I like a lot of what he is doing including this trilogy.
I rambled there, but overall I think Death Cure is a really fun end to a really fun series. I say you should definitely go see this movie if you liked either of the previous films because it ends it very well.

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle
I saw Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle a couple of weeks ago, and I had so much fun with this film. Compared to the original Jumanji they both have their good points, but you just can't beat Robin Williams.
This time around instead of the game coming into our world the high school kids are sucked into the game; we kind of see what Alan Parrish went through in the first film. I liked all the acting by the avatars that are chosen, but by far Dwayne Johnson and Jack Black were hilarious! They made me laugh so much, and made the film so much better than what it could've been.
The effects are definitely better this time around, but that isn't anything mind blowing this day and age. I highly recommend this film even if you didn't like the first because it is different enough that I think everyone can have a great time with this movie. I would say this really isn't for kids though because they make some really crude jokes that are funny, but a little kid will not understand. I will say they got the rating correct on this one.
Other than that I think everyone should see this at some point because it enhances the original while also telling its own story. In the end, I think Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is well worth your money, and I think you will have an awesome time.

Jumanji
I saw the first Jumanji again a couple weeks ago, and this film is just pure fun with Robin Williams right in his prime. The film, for the younger people out there who haven't seen it, is about a board game that comes to life right into your living room.
When Alan Parrish finds a game he and his friend Sarah decide to play it; they have no idea what they have done. In one move Alan gets sucked into the game to never be heard from again. Years later, Judy and Peter find this fateful game, and pick up where Alan and Sarah left off. Now the four of them have to finish the game before it finishes them.
Robin Williams is awesome as always, and you get to see an early Kirsten Dunst who does a good job as well. Now for a movie made in the '90s some of the effects are good, but some aren't that great. If you can get past some of those effects I think most people can have a really fun time with this classic.
I do have to say this movie is definitely more PG-13 than its rating of PG. I would be careful how young your kids are when showing this because there are some scary moments in here. Other than that I think everyone should see this as soon as you can. Jumanji is definitely a movie everyone can have a lot of fun with.
