Description
War is brutal... This seems to wrap up the story but not in the way you'd expect. Come along, it's an adventure that must be experienced to be understood.
Original Review:
The war continues and the losses will be greater than ever before. Katnissᅠnow faces a battle at home as well as the one that rages on in the capital. Is Katniss ready for what the Mockingjay really means? The more she sees, the more sheᅠplots revenge against Snow. He has taken so much from everyoneᅠthat he must pay... She'll realize what it will take to do what's necessary, she begins to see that Snow is not the only target in her sights. This could change everything, for the victors, the districts, and even the capitol... The decision is hers alone to make. An opportunity presents itself that offers her a way in, she goes forth. There's no way to know what the cost of this day could possibly be. When she comes to the realization, there's no turning back. Even after this event, she finds the strength to do what is necessary. In doing so, her entire life will change. This movie definitely wraps up the story, it's a bit slow at times and has much less action than the other Hunger Games movies. In saying that, there's more to the story itself but it still feels unnecessarily drawn out in parts. The last third of the movie is the best of this final chapter, yet it's not quite the blockbuster it's played up to be. If you're a fan of the series, this is a must see (though there's some content that might be a little much for younger audiences). Those that haven't followed the story may feel a bit lost as there are many references to the previous movies, but there are even parts for them to enjoy. Overall it's acted beautifully and told well with mild distractions... Bring a friend, bring a tissue and enjoy the ending to this captivating series.

Mission Impossible II (2000): Original Review: A genetically modified disease is on the verge of being released and only one man can stop it. This agent is one that we've met before and this could be his last. The disease has a short life, at least to those that are infected. Stopping it in its tracks is imperative. Ethan is still with the IMF and though his team has changed, his passion hasn't. When it becomes obvious that stopping the transmission of this disease will cost him someone close to him, the game changes. He must decide between heart or humanity. Which do you think he'll choose? This second installment in the M:I series had nowhere to go but up. Though it's not a home run by any means, it most definitely exceeded the first. The story was much further developed, the characters finally found their footing and the idea promised was portrayed successfully. Saying all of that, you may expect a higher score. If the score was based only on the previous movie, yes it would have by Movie Deputy REVIEWS
