Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales “Jack Sparrow’s adventures are always fun!”
Jack, unchanged from usual, embarks on an adventure with his friends. This movie is funnier and more entertaining than the earlier ones. I watched it, hoping for a light-hearted adventure, not something profound, and it gave me exactly that. That’s what makes it so enjoyable. -

Ant-Man and the Wasp: “I enjoyed it, feeling relieved and smiling.”
Sequels don’t often outshine the originals, but Ant-Man and the Wasp really did for me. World-saving heroes are impressive, but I find Ant-Man, like Spider-Man, much more relatable. That’s what I love about him. The villains in this film aren't outright supervillains; they have their reasons, and the arms dealer has a bit of a petty villain vibe, which is also nice. Since there aren’t a lot of tense moments, I could just relax and have fun, and I found myself laughing more than once. -

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 “Katniss’s story finally comes to an end!”
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 concludes Katniss's journey with a fierce battle between the rebel army and the dictatorial state. While Jennifer Lawrence's performance and the film's action are commendable, I believe the film falls short as a finale, earning a rating of 2.5 points in my personal assessment. Despite this, its value lies in providing closure to the series. -

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire “signals the spark of a coming revolution.”
This film serves as a transitional work in the series. Both the action and the story feel less compelling than in the first film. The romantic elements are interwoven throughout, with Katniss frequently navigating complex relationships and motivations. The film as a whole lacks elements that stand out, making it less engaging. The episodic structure is interconnected, creating a narrative dependent on the full series. -
