I still haven't seen any of the Hunger Games movies so you're ahead of me there.

Divergent was alright but I'm not in any hurry to see Insurgent. I'd also been putting off the last two installments of The Hunger Games for a while. I don't necessarily have anything against young adult franchises, I think I'm just sick of them using the same basic plot over and over again. Between those two and Jupiter Ascending, the plot of every young adult franchise these days is that there is a teenage girl in a dystopian future who ends up starting a revolution. While I can applaud the efforts to create strong female protagonists it might be nice to see something new in terms of story for once.John Hitchcockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13373653979400552490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797386216465468233.post-25193458468725328962015-06-12T18:42:09.061-07:002015-06-12T18:42:09.061-07:00Nice to see you back!

Then, the movies are progressively boring. I also happen to like the Divergent series (for Tris/actors mostly, not worldbuilding or script) which is not popular at all, so my opinion on YA franchises might be moot. lol<br /><br />Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00287429151542133314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797386216465468233.post-78420286520724020642015-06-12T11:10:49.165-07:002015-06-12T11:10:49.165-07:00I think this new storyline will take some getting ...I think this new storyline will take some getting used to, but Bullet is certainly striking me as an interesting character. She has that interesting balance of different sides, since she constantly has to mediate between her street life side and her other side which shows she's really an okay person in a difficult situation.

I think I'm going to have to wait for more information before I make a final judgement. <br /><br />Wow, was there actually a film where Jessica Chastain wasn't great? That would have had to have been a pretty bad movie if even she couldn't do a good job in it.John Hitchcockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13373653979400552490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797386216465468233.post-56350261919283146782015-06-12T06:30:53.788-07:002015-06-12T06:30:53.788-07:00I really liked The Killing, and Bullet was a stand...I really liked The Killing, and Bullet was a stand-out character for me.

She's atrocious.<br /><br />Point Break was decent fun, expertly edited and exciting...but wholly forgettable. That remake looks like a disaster and a really bad move for all involved. I'm not sure why this is happening, to be honest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
