The meat of this franchise seems more in line with Edward Bernays than any fantasy or sci-fi author. This latest edition takes public relations to its bloodiest extreme.

This is certainly a film adults can get into. The explosions, propaganda techniques, and unrest are a reminder of a history not entirely out of reach; a world and society all too realistic. for many living today.

It may be the franchise's third movie, but it plays like its 'Empire Strikes Back.'

Mockingjay, Part 1 might be the least of the films so far, but in dissecting the typical blockbuster film, it's staying true to that spirit.

Dec 12, 2015Monkingjay Part 1 seems to be a placeholder for the final movie. It is OK; Katniss is still saving the day, and President Snow is still that bad guy, but this movie seems to fall short on content.Red L Super Reviewer

Nov 13, 2015"The Hunger Games: MockingJay - Part 1" is an okay movie. The acting in this movie is good. The plot is okay. The suspense in this movie is amazing. Although there are some points in this movie where nothing much is going on. Towards the end of this movie, "The Hunger Games: MockingJay - Part 1" starts to get really exciting. The ending wasn't that interesting. I am excited to see the finale movie "The Hunger Games: MockingJay - Part 2" coming out soon. I agree with rottentomatoes.com and give "The Hunger Games: MockingJay - Part 1" a 6.5/10.Steve G Super Reviewer

Jun 10, 2015It's rare when a movie is better than the book. Mockingjay Part 1 proves to be an excellent film with stunning performance and complex plot. The political subtext was way better played than the book, making it an important piece of gem to show the problems with both fascism and communism.Sylvester K Super Reviewer

May 04, 2015Because its the set up piece to the exciting conclusion, it's the least of the first three films with less moderate action and very talky. The acting is still good enough to make you watch the film and I am more than ready to see the story conclude this November. Lawrence is least interesting character in this round but Moore, Hoffman, Harrelson and Banks all have good moments. 05-03-2015Christopher O Super Reviewer
