I thought this was an okay film. I can say that it's almost 100% likely that I'll watch anything with Chris Hemsworth in it and he's great. I will say that I wish I held onto him a little more. I feel like if they would've rolled out his story sooner or built the connection with Ovi more, I would've really felt a connection to him. I just felt like it came a little too late.

I've said it before, but I love it when films have a short timeline because I feel like it allows for a richer story with more details and not as much to contend with in making sure the details align and it all makes sense. I think that if this film would've had a longer plot time, it would've messed up the rhythm.

I liked that they left an ending that could provide for a sequel but didn't need it. If it does end up standing alone, it's a film that can do that. But it could also benefit from a sequel. It doesn't feel like this entire first film was a set up for a second film. This movie has enough to stand on its own and still be a good watch.

I am glad I watched it and I will probably watch the sequel if they do release one, but I can't say I'll ever come back to it or that I highly recommend. Watch it for Hemsworth or don't watch it at all.

I just couldn't get into this book. I was reading it for a book club so I continued reading further than I would have. However, I still couldn't finish it.

I still like my desktop but I shop with the app
I prefer to order on my laptop or desktop, but I really like the app for shopping in a retail store. I can shop in a brick and mortar store and check prices on my phone. I can scan a barcode and see if I am getting ripped off and I should just order from Amazon instead. Great app, works well, and all of my data travels with me.

umm decent i suppose, it was a lot better than i anticipated because sjm's writing style has deteriorated lately. However, I did enjoy this, and i feel it was a worthy conclusion to an excellent series. i might repost and go more in-depth into what i thought about the book. I read it in three days so i was kinda rushed, but maybe during my reread i'll do a chapter or section analysis in-depth kinda thing who really knows

I hesitated before rating this book. It was not as bad as two stars but I am not sure it is worthy of three, so let us say it is two and a half. Whilst I liked the Jane Austen/<i>Pride and Prejudice</i> references, I am not really a fan of Chick Lit and at times found it a bit tedious. However there were times when I got into the story line; I did read it in one day after all...
