Legends of Chima (2013)
Not as good as Ninjago
It was okay and the animation was tolerable, but this seemed only targeted towards very young children with its childish humor and characters. The action also seemed a bit toned down, and several times the show felt boring. There were some good parts, but not enough. Also, sometimes the characters were horrible at expressing emotion. More than once I have seen Laval smiling while talking about solemn topics or while falling screaming off a cliff. Some parts did not even make sense, but I don't want to mention any potential spoilers.
Ninjago is far better than Chima, and I am happy that it is still ongoing at its sixth season. Overall, Legends of Chima is a childish, sluggish series with little action. It's few good parts were far outweighed by its facepalmable content.
Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015)
Very good
Nice plot, though perhaps a bit overly explosive. It showed disappointingly little of the Knights of Ren- even the trailers had more footage of them than the movie. It left few loose ends, though I find it a bit incredulous that the good guys are always successful in destroying superweapons in all the movies. Works well as a standalone film. I found the Rey-Ren duel at the end very satisfying. Solo's death was a bit weird, because I would not like for such a major character to die in the first film in the series. I also found Starkiller Base fascinating. Overly a suspenseful, exciting and captivating film, The Force Awakens will mostly not disappoint most film-goers.
