Review of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 (2014) by Unladenswallow0 — 07 Dec 2014

This was not a bad movie, all the hate that its getting is not really basing it on anything other than some childish hatred for things that are popular. That said, though I did not think this was a bad movie, it left me feeling like the whole thing was a little un necessary. Here's why.

It felt like filler, now I saw the deathly hallows part one which was basically camping simulator with magic, and this movie felt like propaganda simulator with explosions. The start of the movie was to say the least less than stellar, it had no OUMMPH it was boring and I felt like I was watching a bad episode of ER.

Katniss FIRES ONE ARROW THE ENTIRE GOD DAMN MOVIE! Holy **** sorry I had to get that off my chest. Very few action scenes, with one bloody excellent Tom Clancy like infiltration scene that was, to be honest, pretty damn cool. Those red lights had me .

The people of Panau or whatever the planet is called seem to be mindless sheep, following the words of some girl theve never met, not thinking for themselves, throwing themselves in front of bullets and bombing the **** out of damns all because they saw something on TV? It seems like the entire world hinges on the words of Katniss and a few other mildly interesting side characters who dont do much but stand in the backround and eyebrow act.

Jennifer Lawrence is an amazing actress, dont get me wrong, and there were actually a few scenes where I felt goosebumps when she was recording her propoganda speech, but it felt hollow. Nothing really happened to make this seem worthwhile.

Also Kaitniss bombed a hospital. I dont know if any one else noticed this but when Kaitniss shot down the bomber, she caused it to crash into the hospital quencing any hope of finding survivors.

Overall I was dissapointed, it needed more action and less talking.
