How To Train Your Dragon 2


   Welcome to another movie addicts review!

   I went to see How To Train Your Dragon 2 this afternoon. And I've been waiting for this movie to come out when the first movie came out. I was so pumped for it. And thankfully, I wasn't let down. I totally loved it! There were a few overly cheesy lines, but otherwise it was the best! 

   I love how Hiccup and the others have gotten older and just how the story progressed so well. There was a twist I did not see coming, but I not going to spoil it for you all. 

   Toothless is adorable just like always. And Hiccup is also awkward just like always. But just like in the last movie they click together very very well. 
   
   This movie is one I personally will be watching again. It kept me on my toes the whole time and made me want to watch it again right after I finished it. I would recommend this to everyone all ages but, you'd have to be sure you watched the first one. Otherwise you really wouldn't understand what was going on. It plays off of the first one. It is by far the best movie I've seen so far this year.

Divergent



   Well, here we are again. I know this came out a little while ago, but I personally just watched it a few days ago. I didn't read any of the books before hand. All I knew was what I saw in the trailer. Which kinda gave away a lot of the movie to tell the truth. 
   I went into the movie thinking that it was going to be a lot like Hunger Games. And I was somewhat right. They had differences yes, but they had the same story line. End of the world had already happened, blah blah blah. Smarty pants people think they can control what's left of the human race. Same old same old. I mean can't someone come up with something new other then the end of the world?! I mean just look at this


   X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014)
   
   Snowpiercer (2013)

   The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013)

   The Hunger Games (2012)

   Oblivion (2013)

   Warm Bodies (2013)

   Cloud Atlas (2012)

   After Earth (2013)

   How I Live Now (2013)

   WALL·E (2008)

   City of Ember (2008)

   I Am Legend (2007)

   The Book of Eli (2010)

   The Colony (2013)

   World War Z (2013)

I mean do I even need to go on? Cause if I do, the list would be WAY to long. 

   There were some things that I didn't like about the movie. Like how the "Divergent" aren't even relevant until the last 30 minutes of the movie. And there was no massive plot twist! It was just kinda boring with no plot twist. I mean couldn't the bad guy have turned out to be Divergent in the end?! Cause that would've been awesome! (SPOILER!) And I didn't understand why when the main girl (Tris) gets a hand gun from her mother she never changes back to a big gun that'd actually be good for killing people! There were prop issues like a door was hung the wrong way. Cause the place you put the key in the lock to unlock the door was put on the inside of the door....it really bothered me.

   Overall it was an okay movie, but I'm glad I didn't pay full price to see it.
