review for Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 2

-
In this eighth and final installment, Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) goes back to Hogwarts and, with the help of Ron (Rupert Grint) and Hermoine (Emma Watson), along with the rest of Hogwarts' students and staff, battles Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) and his posse of Death Eaters. In this last Harry Potter flick, the director incorporates characters from previous Harry Potter movies very well. However, the editing crew missed one slight, but important detail. In the flashback when Voldemort attempted to kill Harry when Harry  was a baby, the little infant did not have the scar Voldemort had left on Harry's forehead. Despite this editing flaw, i give it ****(four stars). A good end to the Harry Potter saga.

Jason Bourne

A decade has passed since Jason Bourne turned his back on the CIA. Trying to draw Bourne out of hiding, CIA director Robert Dewy (Tommy Lee Jones) assigns an assassin to kill Bourne. On the run with rogue  employee at the Treadstone Paris safehouse,  Nikki Parsons (Julia Stiles).  Much like The Bourne Supremacy, the termination goes awry and the Dewy's hitman ends up shooting Parsons instead of Bourne which paints a bulls-eye on Dewy's back.  It seems as though the actions taken by the CIA swirl around a network hack "worse than Snowden." - a sign that Paul Greengrass has what I call  Filmmakers Block  - the Hollywood version of  Writer's Block  - blowing a lot of hot-aired action sequences to compensate for the crumbling, over-used plot. I thought,  this isn't the Greengrass-Damon creation that is Bourne. Jason Bourne is not a cliché.  Unfortunately, I was wrong. I was baffled! Then, I figured it out.  Action flicks...

In this explosive espionage thriller, semiretired super spy Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his team is forced back into action to save his protege, Lindsey Farris (Keri Russell). The agency may be double-dealing their operatives.  Owen Davian (Phillip seymore Hoffman), an arms dealer, abducts Lindsey, sending Ethan and company to Berlin on a rescue mission. Unlike the other Mission Impossible movies, this movie is smart, exhilarating and full of twists and turns. **** (four stars). Great acting, some parts were slower than others, but they lead to important scenes which define the movie.
