First part of the season (up until episode 15) is pretty decent. Kirito is invited to play in an other game called Gun Gale Online GGO because something strange is happening. Player killed in this game by one specific character dies from heart attack in real life as well. Maybe it's only a coincidence, but further investigation is much needed. After entering a game Kirito meets a player-sniper Sinon, who participates in this game due to her own reasons. I really recommend watching is part of the season. It definitely is not as good as the first season of SAO, but i found it enjoyable. I found plots twist pretty interesting and the fact that Kirito suffers from SAO experience to be a nice touch to this season.

The most annoying thing in this season was reminiscent of events which happen earlier. 'OK, i saw it, i remember it, there is no net to waste tame and show the same things in every episode!'. Maybe if those events weren't shown so boldly but with a hint of subtlety it wouldn't be so annoying.

All in all, I'm giving it a 6,5 ->7

BUT. There is a second part of he seasons. Which i hated, found boring and don't even want to talk about it.

Can't say that performances of actors were stunning or that script was amazing. Furthermore, i may even call it a bit predictable. But somehow it all goes to the background and doesn't make this movie worse. It touched me. Isn't it the most important? I laughed, i cried, i worried about characters and i really enjoyed watching this movie.

It's a thought provoking movie. 'Anti-war', 'despite different nationalities our values are the same' kind of movie. It sounds banal, we all know that, but it the movie it is shown more subtle. Few days later i still remember it and think of fate of Ivo.

Despite all my critics i still think it is definitely worthy of being watched and give it a ten.

Talking about Oscars Not sure if it is really worthy of being nominated for Oscar. To be fair, the only movie worthy of being nominated for Oscars was 'Leviathan'. 'Leviathan' is has better cinematography, more impressive scenes. Tangerines is noticeably inferior, than Leviathan movie. However it beats all other nominees.

I've read plenty of negative reviews before watching this movie. As a fan of books and previous movies i was a bit afraid 'Hunger games: Mockingjay - Part 1' will disappoint me. But it DIDN'T.

Of course this movie is different from first two, but so were the books. It's the first movie in Hunger games series without actual Hunger games. Action buffs may be disappointed, this movie is slower than previous two, but i didn't feel prolonged. Two hours which it lasted, passed very fast.

I even started to think that splitting the third book into two movies is a great idea. Stunning performance of Jennifer Lawrence reveals true Katniss Everdeen. This Katniss (at least for me) was closest to the one i read about in the books.

All in all, i enjoyed watching this movie. Maybe my expectations were too low and this is why i it surpassed them. Performance of Elizabeth Banks (Effie Trinket) must also be mentioned. It's a pity she played only a few scenes. Puff of energy in a grey strict world.
