Movie Deputy REVIEWS

Wow, through love and loss, we've been by their side. Is this the end of their story or just a beginning of something more? Let's find out together.  Original Review: Hiccup has come a long way since we first met him when he began his training. He has had a lot of help along the way, close friends and of course the dragons... especially Toothless. Through his adventures, he's had many victories and many losses (some personal). Now he is the chief in charge of Berk and must make his decisions around what is best for everyone instead of just him. Well, now that someone is coming to take the dragons away, Hiccup makes a decision that many question. He must make sure that everyone is safe (including the dragons). There is a problem though, the person coming after the dragons won't stop so easily so Hiccup must find a safe home for them. He turns to the teachings of Stoick for some wisdom. Something is going to happen before this new plan can play out. This new dragon changes relationships for the humans and the dragons combined. Just when things look like they're going to work out, a decision must be made. Will they all live happily ever after? or is it much more complicated? That's what you'll have to wait to see... Trust me, it's worth the wait to the very end!

This adventure has taken us farther than we thought we wanted to go and left us wanting more (in a good way). As the story continues, be ready as it'll take you further than you thought you wanted to go.  Original Review: It's not often when a sequel reaches the expectations from where the original left off, much less surpassing that mark. This does that and more. We are welcomed back into Berk 5 years after the end of the 1st movie. Everyone has a pet dragon. Instead of making tools and weapons to fight with, they now make items that help them with the dragons. Perfect harmony... Or so it seems. Our well-known character from the first movie, Hiccup and his companion Toothless wander the seas looking to map out more of the world. What they find is something much more... A dragon army... led by a ruthless foe of Stoick. This quest leads to much more than that though... A heartwarming reunion. The glee of that is short lived as we experience heartache soon after. Berk will be forever changed. We see a progression of friendships that grow and bloom, love that grows and is lost, and what loyalty really means. The story centers on some of the characters but we don't see as much of the other ones as in the 1st movie. Saying that this answers a lot of questions and leaves room for another sequel... If they do it as well as they did this, let's hope so.

The Vikings on Berk had a long history of hunting dragons. They were thought to be fierce beasts with only one goal... destruction. That is until a viking emerges that can't or should I say wont kill one of them. What will happen to their history? What will happen to them if everything that they've always known is no longer... Lets find out.  Original Review: This is it... but I'm ashamed to admit that. I had reviewed the 2nd and the 3rd but never got around to reviewing the first. My sincerest apologies.

Where this movie falls in the Karate Kid series is up for debate but it does justice to the original story. Not a retelling, but a continuation in a way that honors the original and carries it further. Can the story move forward from here? We'll have to wait and see.  Original Review: This is it Notes: Shinpo sensei, Miyagi karate, han school of Kung fu, jacket on jacket off, shao li fong, if you practice violence you get violence in return,  59g9 taxi, apt 365, victory pizza,  Bodega convenience store,  I got it I think,  sensei o'shea, stuffed crust, demolition mixed martial arts,  focus on the goal ignore the pain, tekken 8, the 5 boroughs,  the dragon's shadow strike,  dragon kick,  Conor day, Mia lipani, Victor lipani, lipani vs Reed, Benjamin Floyd,  Chinese Peter Parker,  false hope is better than no hope,  first rule of Kung fu everything is Kung fu, lipani vs Dennis,  you deal with it or it's going to deal with you, watson vs Ortega, han snafu, world famous fetterman garden, sensei larusso,  is it worth fighting for,  pepsi pairs well with pepperoni, Alan fetterman,  Buddha Stevens, Queens Tornado, lions mane Martinez,  showdown in the sky,  tiger trap,  don't mess with the champ, Gleason's gym Brooklyn,  Miyagi dough, bo fong, Robert mark Kamen,

The role has changed hands, but the responsibility remains. When a politician who has been anti-Avengers flips his views... He is met with considerable skepticism. He must earn the trust of those who he is destined to protect? Is that possible, or is it too little, too late?
