"To prove that I mean it when I say “four-way tie,” I’ll start with the last one, Kicking and Screaming, a movie I can recite from start to finish. You know, in case you’re ever in the mood for an hour-long party trick. Actually, I wrote an essay about my love for it for the New York Observer when the Criterion Collection released the DVD and raced to fill out the crossword puzzle like a regular dork. Two words: Broken glass. Meanwhile, Whit Stillman’s Metropolitan is a seminal movie for me and a whole bunch of other people of my generation. Speaking of party tricks, evoking empathy for Upper East Side WASPs is a good one. Same with Barcelona. The reason these four are grouped together is because of their supreme ability to capture the cadence of youth and young adulthood. They display floundering without being floundering. This is the hardest thing to achieve, in any format, and Linklater makes it look easy."

I'll start by saying I didn't enjoy this half as much as the first one (and it had been a while between books, so I had to go out and buy Divergent on DVD in the quickest and easiest way of catching up).

I thought it would have been as good if not better but the main reason for me reading it (the romance) kinda took a turn for the worst for a lot of this with arguments and lying and going behind each others backs.

As for the rest of it, it didn't draw me in as much as I expected and in fact I got a little bored in places.

The best bit was the ending for me, not because it was the end but because of what came out in that video that was played.

I'm going straight onto the last book but it may take me a while to read.

Why it took so long to come out (0 more)
Finally I've seen this movie it's hard to believe that this movie was made in 2017 and finally coming out this year there have been times where I didn't think it was coming out ever meant to seen back in April then came lockdown I was at the point just stick it on Disney + or dvd and I still would have watched the movie. anyway is it any good yes why it took so long maybe we will never know keeping as much spoilers out of my review Anna Taylor joy as magik is amazing and so is the rest of the cast the run time is just right not to long. I'm bothered by all the critical bashing it's been getting calling it the worst X men movie that goes to last stand. anyway to sum up the movie I'm glad I finally got to see the movie definitely rewatch it

I won a DVD in a give-away and here is my honest review, on the movie.
I really enjoyed the movie and went into it knowing full well it was a fight movie. I was pleasantly surprised that there was a bit of a storyline. I think it did a good job balancing out what was expected from those who played the game, except one scene that I was slightly sad they didn't end the fight in a certain way but that is completely personal preference.

I liked the CGI, it wasn't over done.
There is a lot of gore and I think it definitely holds up the R rating. I haven't watched or played Mortal Combat since the early 2000s but was able to follow along really well. It may help if you have some familiarity with the game especially for the Easter Eggs like catchphrases and backgrounds but not completely necessary.
