Like most thriller movies, "Regression" starts out great, and then the next thing you know... it had already gone horribly wrong in almost every aspect. Unsurprisngly, though. Ethan Hawke gave a marvelous performance as he portrayed the role of a detective. However, on the contrary, I was surprised to have thought that the movie's weakest link was Emma Watson. She did good, but the rest of the cast had just out shined her. Also, the movie had great cinematography. The musical scoring was quite good, too. Weird enough, but it wasn't enough to save the movie from its' poor script.

'Regression' is a not-so-thrilling mystery-thriller film for it has failed to deliver what it really is supposed to. I'd say, it kinda got quite pretentious near the end.

'Hotel Transylvannia 2' is a perfect example of a wasted opportunity. It started out surprisingly good, however, it failed to maintain the fun that it delivered in the first half of the movie.

The first-half of this movie was just dumb-fun, it's fun to watch. However, the second-half was just atrocious, t'was almost unwatchable. It felt awkward (at least for me) to watch. It just felt so forced, it was horribly written, and it concluded the worst way one could've ever thought of; it was abysmal.

To mention some of the positive things about the movie, I thought that the animation was great, voice acting was nicely done, and its first half, at least, was an improvement over its predecessor's first-half.

I'm giving this movie a 4/10.

"Insurgent" continues shortly after the events of the first movie, having Jeanine finding a box that can only be opened by a Divergent and searching for all the Divergents (Which was previously shown in the trailers.) and also discovering that not all Divergents are equal as some Divergents are better than the others and obviously, the latter was Tris.

Honestly, I was surprised that I liked this better than the first since I knew that I had lower my expectations for it because I knew that the first one was horrible and also because I had no faith for the new director "Robert Schwentke" who's known for R.I.P.D which was absolutely awful. This movie had good moments, but the movie was mostly a bore. The cinematography was okay, acting was good but wasn't enough to feel attached to the characters. (I didn't feel like connecting with the protagonist.)

VERDICT: I'm not saying that I didn't like the movie, but it really could've been better. I didn't like it that MUCH because everything was too surreal. Everything was too coincidental.
