Just saw Little Women. Very faithful adaptation of the novel that does justice to the charm of the characters. Everything the reader loves about the March family and their neighbors is on full display throughout. Amy's actress in particular nailed her sarcastic wit and brattish nature without making her appear as dislikable as the novel does at times, like when she burns Jo's book. Instead came across as very funny and sympathetic. The same with their aunt who is immediately a comedic figure rather than an irritating source of negativity, though she does soften down the line.

I think every important scene of the book was put in the film. Not remembering anything crucial that was missing. Was glad to see the performances match my imagination of how they would look if in live action, in many cases surpassing my own enjoyment from reading. It was much easier to trace Amy's attraction to Laurie and accept their marriage than in the book where it's a shocking development after all the focus on Laurie/Jo. Also easier to accept Jo and the professor when he's foreshadowed very early in the film, and doesn't look as old as I remember the book describing him as.

the story isn't linear and there is no narration to guide and provide exposition. so it's not that accessible if you don't recognize the dialogue and settings, though there are clues that can help recognize when time has passed (like Jo's hair). Seems directly intended for people that have a general idea of the story in mind and just want to see it all brought to life. They did a great job with that.

I'm a little disappointed because this has almost everything needed to be a great film....and it's merely just good.

Good but didn't love it. Had some drama going on in the middle of it so not sure if that soured the experience. Will see if it sticks with me over the weeks like Pain and glory did and creep into top 20

As @KBadd said in his review, when they was in the air, it was a good movie but when they was in the ground it was horrible, @Basaglia added "these niccas from the wire, ain't they supposed to know how to act

Finally, @NV-ME stated George Lucas corny what did you expect?
I mean, I enjoy the Tuskegee Airmen story since I have family from there...

I watched Logan again, why does Laura lay the guilt trip on logan at the end when she knew he was gonna die if he went with them? I still think it was lame they made x 24 look exactly like wolverine. Couldn't they have made it look like his son Daken?

This movie is all kinds of crazy. Very chaotic. I don't think I've seen another movie where it seemed like the characters are just yelling the whole time.

The music is weird af too. Good watch tho.
