Review of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 (2014) by Bshop — 07 Dec 2014
Disappointing. They should have had a long movie (only one) to finish the series.
I read the book again after the second movie (wanted to find out everything about the ending!) and I must say, it was a quick read. Didn't even pay attention to the fact it was separated in 2 parts in the book, who knew?
Anyway, this movie felt drawn out - probably because it was. There just wasn't enough material in the book to cover a 2 hour movie. The one saving grace was Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) - what little scene he had, was great, gritty, and raw (won't spoil it for you!).
In summary, skip the theater and wait for rental (preferably just before the last movie comes out). This was a cash grab by the studio, producers, and everyone involved. I would honestly skip the theater if I could go back in time.
