King's Man 2021 [THREE BEERS] 🍺🍺🍺

Third in the Kingsman franchise, this round is a prequel that details the origin of the organization whose charter is to "stand against a cabal plotting a war to wipe out millions." Liked the movie although it is different than the others since it is set in the early 20th Century.

Should recognize some key names to be passed down to future members of the organization. A few surprises but nothing to throw a curve to the other movies in the franchise.

Safe first date movie. Could have waited till it was available on DVD or Streaming. That said, perfect time to introduce our 2022 rating system... Beer Ratings! See details in the sidebar!

King's Man 2021 gets "Three Beers" 🍺🍺🍺... Entertaining movie, can enjoy the show with a nice buzz!

Spiderman - No Way Home (2022)

"Peter Parker's secret identity is revealed to the entire world. Desperate for help, Peter turns to Doctor Strange to make the world forget that he is Spider-Man. The spell goes horribly wrong and shatters the multiverse, bringing in monstrous villains that could destroy the world." IMDB

Did not know there would be multiple Spidermen and Villain's too plus a Dr. Strangelove! Interesting movie with the different portals. But, could have waited for it on DVD or streaming.

This gets an "Okay to Rent" rating.

Although ratings were low, from Jerry's view this one was a good one to the point of recommending it as a "First Date" movie. Yes, there is sadness and pain but no worries, your budding relationship will not suffer if it is on a solid foundation. Check this one out when you get a chance!
