Review of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 (2014) by Vicki E — 25 Apr 2015
First of all, How do you make a movie named " The Hunger Games" without a hunger game in it? I know that maybe they wanted to stay truthful to the books, but come on, the movie is not targeted only to the fans of the books, it is targeted to mass audiences, they should have taken some liberties and make it more interesting.
The first two movies had a cool concept (still I think that "Battle Royale" is way better), this third installment is more like a cheap melodrama. I have to say that Jennifer Lawrence carries all the weigh of the movie.
She is a great actress, and thanks to her performance the movie has a few emotional moments. Lawrence is surrounded by great actors, but unfortunately they don't have much to play with. "THG Mockingjay Part 1? is the consequence of a studio trying to stretch a franchise to win more money; Part 1 could easy be cut down to the length of one-hour and be merged with Part 2 into one single movie - As it is in the damn book!
