The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1


Mehh. I'm all for building suspense, but this movie just felt like fancy, pretty time-killer to the second part of Mockingjay.  My biggest issue is that nothing really seems to happen. Situations get set up, there's so much build-up but it leads to nothing. It's a roller coaster that takes you up the big hill and ends the ride just as the anticipation reaches its' highest. I did enjoy the change of theme here as I find it intriguing that more evil is off the battlefield.  And Jennifer Lawrence is always a treasure even when the script reduces her to crying and looking distraught.  But it all just feels like filler. You're not catching any fire this time, Katniss.

2/4
