The movie was good, not the best. Action scenes were decent, had the sword and sorcery vibe but steampunk and guns. Dave Bautista really did a great job alongside Mila Jovavich. Rewatch and this time actually watch and enjoy not tear it apart to write a review

Thornagraphy to me was a concept of a new direction and it didn't go well with fans, not saying it was a bad album because it was a decent one. Just not one that went with their style, but if you really listen to their sound almost every album is different than the last, it just got more prevalent with Midian going forward

I think it's because of how many sub genres of heavy metal there is now, you can literally pick the top 10 out of every genre and people still wouldn't be happy. Like the deathcore people won't be happy of you choose 10 bands from power metal or vica versa

I agree with you except on 2 choices, as for Blind Guardian i personally like Nightfall in Middle Earth over somewhere far beyond, but it is indeed a amazing work of music. But I'd disagree with you about King Diamond although talented musicians i just can't stand their style of music
