Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2



I saw Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 - the fourth movie inspired from a 3 part book series. I'm glad I waited a week for some of the new blockbuster movie craziness to go down. I must say, for me, the movie felt pretty true to the final book, which I appreciated. For those who haven't read the books I think that you will still find the movie enjoyable. The acting from this cast has gotten better each & every installment. This movie had a little bit of everything in it..action, drama, suspense, romance. It's not your typical ending, which I know some people didn't appreciate, but I thought it was faithful to the book & the right way to close the chapter on the series. For those that have seen the predecessors I say get some closure & see this one to complete the long, 4 year, movie road that we've been on.

Spectre



I saw Spectre tonight and I can't believe I'm about to say this but I feel like I just wasted 2 1/2 hours of my life. With such great actors like Christoph Waltz and Ralph Fiennes this still lacked the intensity of Skyfall or the grit of Casino Royal. I feel like the movie was just trying to ride the Skyfall wave & just hope no one would notice how disappointing it is. This movie was almost as bad as Quantum of Solace. I say hold off on this one & wait for it to come to DVD
