Hunger Games Mocking Jay: Part II; Pheeeew Finally an Ending


Katniss, Katniss, Katniss, she finally got to storm and face “The district Headquarters” head on. Well as usual, expect some spoilers, but not much, so you still have to watch it, if you planned to. So where do I start, well different form the preceding Hunger Games Movies which were rather more action packed (like more than half of the movie), this one captured a more emotional side of the characters, Katniss’s trust that Peeta would always be on their side. I particularly found the journey to the capital to be very adventure ridden and the capital’s armory was just wooow, some serious fire power action. The best twist for me was that of a meeting between President Snow and Katniss.
The best part of course after the triumph of the districts in overthrowing President Snow was the fairy tale ending of Katniss and Peeta finally been reunited and well the rest you’ll have to find out. Ratings wise, I must say, it started slow but progressed into a more captivating tempo so I give it an overall 8.0/10. Action was quite intriguing, with a 7.0/10, humour well not much but a 6.0/10 will do. Visual effects where flawless at 8.5/10 and the screenplay and cinematography I must admit where quite good too, I will give it a 8.5/10. Enjoy the movie guys, catch me again when we review another blockbuster. #entertainmentzone24/7

Spectre; Just how Spectacular is the new 007 Movie

Seen the latest Bond Movie yet? Well if you haven’t, then you’re in for some spoilers, but that shouldn’t hold you back from eventually watching it. The new 007 Movie “Spectre” well on average, was a little bit disappointing (and I watched it in IMAX by the way) Why? Well main reason being I expected more or rather a bit too much from 007. Looking back at Skyfall, of which Spectre is actually a continuation well am sure a bond fanatic would agree with me that Skyfall was more action packed and the story line, just full of surprises. Now I understand why even the former Bond star, Brosnan was skeptical with the new 007 movie.



First things first, the one we always anticipate in an action movie, the ‘villain’ who in this case was played by the one and only Christoph Waltz (I must say they really didn’t use his role to the fullest); the villain was not as intriguing as the one from Skyfall, and he rather got beat too easily if I may put it that way. Bautista’s role however was a killer one and he actually lightened up the movie for me very much especially that car chase, felt like I was watching Fast 8 for a moment.
In overall the movie was alright, but not too impressive so I will give it a 6.5 rating average. As for the cinematography and visual effects, well that lived up to the 007 movies standards, so it’s a 8.5, humour well it was alright, a 7 will do.
Catch me again when we review the next hot movie. #EntertainmentZone24/7
