Battle of Geonosis wins the prequel contest due to the other two's tactics and consistency respectively being pretty bad. Naboo was completely dumb as far as the ground assault goes due to the Gungans having the opportunity to decide where the battle was fought and have the enemies take the high ground, not to mention just being cannon fodder. The space battle wasn't much better due to Anakin's plot armouring. Battle of Coruscant was better, but did a poor job at displaying Anakin as the "best star pilot in the Galaxy" that OT Obi-Wan hailed him as.

What's good about the Battle of Geonosis though? At least on the Coruscant Battle we finally see Anakin as a great pilot and good friend that Ben said.

Not much, but it at least had a lot more objectives to consider than just getting to the enemy's flagship.

I wouldn't say it makes much of a display at showing Anakin as a great pilot, seeing as how his ship gets overrun by Buzz Droids and his counterattack consists of recklessly ramming into the side of Obi-Wan's starfighter. It does somewhat display him as a good friend to Obi-Wan, but only in the invasion into the Invisible Hand and duel with Dooku, which I wasn't taking into account due to the link of aerial combat in the three battles proposed. Plus, even then, both of these links to the OT are vastly inferior to how The Clone Wars properly portrays his piloting skills and friendship with Kenobi to the point RotS' handling of it is practically redundant.

Still better than him doing nothing on Geonosis beyond getting into an argument with Obi-Wan because he wants to save Padmé and getting stomped by Dooku.

Still more engaging when it has a fair few characters who's fate wasn't ensured by OT induced plot armour. :CC

I really like it, even if it isn't the most fitting theme for the Black/Dark Magician. I still prefer Passionate Duelist though.

About 7.5/10. The film was a pretty good watch with Thanos being the best villain in the MCU, being pretty justified in his goal and somewhat sympathetic in the love he had for Gamora and the subtlety with which it was displayed. It also did a good job in showing the payoff and development within many characters from the trials they'd faced in past films, such as Thor being a lot more engaging than in previous films, plus it was able to balance the serious and comedic tones a lot better than previous Marvel films. The ending is what really raises the score, with the two main battles not only giving each character a momentary spotlight and the multiple character deaths being a bold move for Marvel. Only problems I had with it were Thanos' plans having a few flaws to them (people will just repopulate and drain the finite resources unless Thanos were to constantly survey the Universe's entirety) and putting himself in a dangerous situation towards the end by not just spamming the reality stone whenever he could, but other than that it was both a payoff for the previous MCU instalments, good character study and highly entertaining action movie.

Too bad the sequel will most likely make all of the consequences pointless by having Thanos reset everything like in the comics (especially if the planned sequels featuring a lot of now deceased heroes is for more than just hiding spoilers).

Completely bland and illogical character. Aside from ending up not being the sarcastic girl with attitude the trailers presented her as and just being someone completely dependant on people like her father and Cassian, her few solo actions were completely stupid such as freeing those who liberated her from capture like a psycho. It also doesn't help that the movie also overpowered her (or nerfed the Stormtroopers) to the extent that she could beat several troopers with melee attacks.
Still an infinitely better female lead than Ma-Rey Sue, though that's practically my only praise.

3/10

Decent, but not great. Gets repetitive after a while.

Yuno x Yuki by far since at least Sasuke's cold and ambitious attitude has some alpha qualities to it if you were to take away his edginess.

I play a few titles, but wouldn't say I'm a massive gamer. Only series I've played a lot of are various anime games (mainly DBZ ones), Pokemon, Dynasty Warriors and 360 era Gears of War.
