Zane T @ZaneThind 1d A very solid movie and it acts more of a feel good movie than compared to the two movies prior to this. When I talk about the feel good part I mean the part of uniting and fighting against oppression part. Despite the action heavy focus and journalistic approach of this film, there is still a story to be told here. The themes of this franchise are still the same and this entry leans heavily on family and love. The film does get more tense when we see Peeta and hear Finnick talk about President Snow on camera. Julianne Moore I must say gives one amazing performance in this film as Madam President. Her powerful speeches are absolutely scene stealing. Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss also turns in a another good performance and I must say this film shows her at her most emotional.

The manipulation of media for propaganda is truly insightful to see in this world, and brings an additional layer to the story as a whole. The ending did fall a bit flat, but it is okay segway into part 2. See more Matthew W. @Mattrocks704 Feb 4 If I was reading it out of 10, it would be a 6.9 They did just enough to make it watchable. My expectations for part two is that it should show up See more Christopher M @Pookster Jan 23 70% is approaching crazy work territory in my opinion. This one definitely clears 74% at least. Flirting with 60s is non-sensible and disrespectful. THG got even deeper in their bag with plot complexity. It’s a fascinating chest match between two dynamics. David and Goliath. good and evil. elite versus poor. Similar to the Harry Potter finale, I have respect for a franchise that thinks so deep into a plot that they need to split into two movies. And I’m OK with a slower build if it’s interesting and leads to a greater climax. Safe to say, I am satisfied. Wait a second that sounds wrong. Anyways enjoy your watch. See more Benjamin W. @Code70 Jan 21 A good enough first part to the epic conclusion. But I feel like there’s easily a version of this where it could have been better. Now I haven’t read the books, but maybe they should have made Part 1 and 2 one large movie? This has decent set up, but no satisfying resolutions or anything that like, and it doesn’t feel like the direction is as strong or assured here. Also, some of the better characters are separated here, so it’s not quite as much fun. I do like that this installment is morally ambiguous, it’s not just black and white, and that it does really complicate things. So themes here, while perhaps not as entertainingly explored as you’d want, are still present to the central story. Overall, a decent bit unspectacular set-up for the final film, because inherently, it was kinda set up to be that.
