REVIEW:
There were so many good actors in this movie I thought for sure it was foolproof and would be awesome. I really anticipated a great action movie.
It was just okay for me.
I think most of the movie was a little slow-paced, and it didn't really pick up until the end. Sadly, not soon enough though.
The idea of it being loosely based on the old adage, an eye for an eye, wasn't for me either. It's been done too many times to count, so in order for it to stand out it needs to be impeccably done.
The ending as I said was different and what I liked most about the film. Don't think it was because it was finally ending, though honestly, that helped too. I was over it at that point. The last of the movie was really gritty, and if you read my blog regularly, that's kinda what I'm into. I don't want fluff, I want blood and gore. What can I say?! My mom claims I should have been a boy.
Will I recommend it? Probably not. I probably won't think about it again.

 2/5

    I love Christian Bale, but this movie looked too depressing.

REVIEW:
I sorta hated the beginning.
Starts outs so dark that you can't really make anything out. Hard to know what's going on if you can't see.
It doesn't take long to get light though.
Thankfully.
Man, does the story ever pick up after that. I don't remember much about the original but this one is intense. Right to the very last second too.
Sydney is badass and shows it throughout. Can you imagine what it would be like if everyone thought you were o…

REVIEW: I loved the whole series, but especially loved this season as it wrapped it all up.  There were a couple of moments that were so incredibly tragic, but also a couple moments where the most tragic things couldn't have happened to better people. Take Sussy for example. God, how I hated that woman through the whole show and couldn't wait for her to get what was coming to her. Did she get it here? You have to watch and see! This is the season where you will sit on the edge of your seat, waiting to see who will win the kingdom. Does your favorite character prevail above the others? MIne d…
