However, desperate not to upset his father, as well as being a small mole and unable to play football in bright light, Mungo sadly resigns himself to life as a miner. When the mine is forced to shut down after a mysterious accident, an evil and gold-obsessed supervillain known only as 'The Boss', attempts to bully the townsfolk into selling him the mine. Against all odds and with a little help from his whacky friends, Mungo begins an epic adventure of thrills, laughs, action, and peril, as he hurtles towards the Wild Cup football finals in Russia and a final, breathtaking showdown with 'The Boss.' Written by Neil James

So big family gathering and we took all the kids, nieces, nephews to see Strike. They all loved it! Some of the characters especially Hedy really resonated with the gang. Waaaaaay better than most of the generic rubbish hoist upon us nowadays
Great Family Film

Have watched many films over the last few weeks with the Kids. This had something for everyone. Both the kids and us (Mum & Dad) laughed! The story totally captures you, we even had the kids cheering on Mungo at the end. Fantastic!

Its a great movie overall. Even if u haven't played the game, u kinda get the idea (most of it), however if u have played the game, u will understand better. I REALLY LIKE THE FIGHTS, the fights are gore but thats the point of it. Its not dark, its fun to watch, the fights stand out the most. X-RAY shots are wonderful. The plot is "not that bad" its worth watching. Seems like they made it to make Scorpion stand out, giving us a picture that he cannot be defeated, which is true to some extend but not entirely. I recommend this to all.(if you are okay with the blood and gore but its not gonna give u goosebumps like the real movies).
Not the smartest way to start a MK series but they've done a gr8 job.
I enjoyed it. You should be able to too
Hope this helped

Can't recommend it enough to anyone who's a fan of the Mortal Kombat series (especially the original 90s trilogy)! It's definitely the best take on the franchise yet outside of the games. The perennially underrated DC animation team hits it out of the park with an anime / Timm style with lots of expression and yet buckets of blood. A great action packed violent treat for all MK devotees with so many cool characters (mostly MK 1 and 2 characters and a kickass Quan Chi), so much blood and definitive deaths and a cool ending.

It's a truly magnificent film that presents the tragic story of a man who takes a flawed approach towards peace, set on a path through experiences that—despite being a godlike alien—are relatable. We see Superman in a different light, but at the heart he remains as he always was: a symbol of hope.

On a more casual note, it's been a while since I've cried in a film. The pain and the heartache really hit me in a way I wasn't expecting. Truly an excellent film well worth the watch.

Great movie. Was very surprised how good this one was. If you're a fan of the graphic novel this is based on, you will be pleasantly surprised. Kids under 12 shouldn't watch this one. Casted perfectly and portrayed brilliantly. DC has it's strong point in their animated universe and this is easily one of its best installments. A+. Also, the Steelbook is nicely crafted with beautiful artwork.

Onward is a exciting movie filled to the brim with adventure, comedy, and warmth that I personally didn't expect or look forward too, but definitely has a sincere feel of cherished memories that we unintentional take for granted; a new vibe different from any other of Pixar's animations.Tom Holland and Chris Pratt's bromance! Diving into this movie, I noticed the immersive animation/soundtrack from Pixar and welcoming, yet bold/creative fantasy elements. I am not a professional film critic, but a issue I noticed is that the story is some what under developed because the lack of screen time. I don't want to spoil the movie, furthermore with this humble review, I genuinely feel like Onward shouldn't be overlooked in its simplicity, it will surprise you and take you on a journey that will lead you venturing toward the whimsical world of Onward, well at least for 1 hour and 42 minutes and a few seconds, you know what I mean. If you want my advice, carry your friends and family into Disney Pixar's upfront animation: Onward.

truly amazing!!! Just the premise alone of wishing a father to return for just one more day makes me want to cry, but the fact that the director put his heart and soul into this idea, and made it feel universal, creates something that lingers for me long after the end credits. I’m still sniffing just thinking about the movie.I have been a big Disney fan since I was a baby.I am 14 and have seen every movie there is.The brother bond is incredible I like at the end Ian gives up his chance to meet his dad because he had a father figure.This movie was amazing I am so exited for the future of Disney. Also that Disney has it's first gay/bi character is amazing.It means Disney is embracing change and that love it love!!!1
