Winter's War

Caution: Spoiler Alert!



I thought I'd love this movie to death

but boy was I wrong.

reason to watch this movie:
1. Emily Blunt
2. the trailer said its the story before Snow White, so my expectation was maybe its the story of the step mother, knapa ya jadi jahat and all that.
3. Emily Blunt.
4. I figured there's gonna be a fight for power between the two sisters and the Winter sister died coz she wasn't in Snow White and the Huntsman
5. Emily Blunt.

hahaha I really like her. she's versatile. I watched her played a snob character in Devil Wears Parda, and then being poise in Young Victoria and being funny as hell in 5 Years Engagement and she sings in Into The Woods! i know 4 movie saja to be all 'she awesome' 'great actress' but you gotta admit, she really is brilliant!

anyway,
I watched the movie and I was very disappointed.
the acting, the scenery, the funny punch line, were all on point.
but the storyline kinda suck!

first, the 'story before Snow White' was kinda short.
I thought the entire movie was a story told before Snow White
but it was not even half through the movie!
3/4 of the movie was during after Snow White reclaimed her kingdom!
what was that all about?!
such misleading trailer!

second, even if the trailer was misleading,
I thought the 'Winter's War' part would be on point.
but it's not!
I thought the 'Winter's War' was between the two sisters, and that Freya, the Winter Queen, miraculously win against the 'gold' Queen (that Queen from Snow White and the Huntsman).
sekali rupanya, it was more like a war during winter. or war that leads or turns to winter.
it wasn't even the the Winter Queen yg do all the fighting. it was all done by her 'children'.
memang ada a 'fight' between the two sisters but it was towards the end and almost insignificant.
I don't know. I'm just mad at how the story turned out.
so everything is just a huge disappointment to me.

third, Finnick was there. hahaha
I mean Prince William, apparently the husband of Snow White in Winter's War.
I thought she ended up with the Huntsman?
rasa wah kan masuk kan cFinnick ah! I guess becoz he so famous now.
Sam Claflin. he was in the most famos Hunger Games Catching Fire onwards,
Pirate of the Carribean Stanger's Tide, Love Rosie, and soon (if not already) in Me Before You.
both Love Rosie and Me Before You are movies from books adaptation.

how he looks like, if you're wondering ^.^

No, this is not the upside of the movie.
Prince William appeared for like 5 mins top jua ganya. again, not very important aside from Prince William telling the Huntsman about the missing Mirror. other people could've informed the huntsman. *shrugged*

fourth,
they should have more scenes on the funny dwarfs!

fifth,
why is the mirror so blur?
I doubt that you can see yourself in it.
but I guess it was more like mirroring whats inside of your brain and heart.
*another shrugged*

I guess that is all that I have to say for this movie.

I hope the third one would we a lot better than this. if ever they decided to make a third installment of this series.

and I should lower my expectation next time.

Happy Hunger Games

and May the Odds be EVER in your favor.

yes, you've guessed it, I have finished reading the Hunger Games books.

and just like Twilight, I'm obsessing over this series now. and I want my Peeta!

hahaha I mean, he's funny and very warm. as explained in the books anyways. ;)

the first book; The Hunger Games
(cute kn? my Moo Tupperware xD)


second book; Catching Fire

third book; MockingJay


I am loving this new covers! Initially, I wanted the black covered one but the first Kinokuniya I went, didn't have them. they have the above instead. So, I collected them right away. Pretty dazzling the color. Love Love Love 

it took me almost two weeks to finish all three books.

I am amazed how the movie actually captured what was written in the books. even the dialogues. Applause to the screen writers for the movies. Nothing satisfy me more than when movies adapted the books correctly.

As always, books have more details but what's so amazing is that even though the movie is like the short-cut version of the book with a lot of modifications, I still understand the movie as of far.

Now, I am scared that I'm gonna be judging MockingJay part 2 movie. Since I already know the ending. 

Oh well, It was a good (very good) read. I don't know what I'm supposed to do with my life now. 

Maybe I should read some ancient Irish History to get me away from this real world once again.

LOL

morbid much?

Happiness in Reading.
