Powerful

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

What a disgrace, was buzzing for this and the film literally is shocking, don't even bother watching even if you've seen the other 3

may contain spoilers and English is not my first language .. any way , if you watched that movie this means you definitely watched the rest of the series what means that you oriented more on how it will be settled more than development of characters , quotes or even scenario .. in my opinion. the master scene was when president elma called her self (the revolution leader) and declared her self a transitional president for unknown period ..this was a great realism and a great reaction from the true (revolution leaders ) i only wonder how there was a civil war without any story line except with everdeen and her friends . even when there were confrontation in front of the presidential palace..the camera also followed katniss too , i think the events was unfair with the revolution ..i mean i just wanted the revolution to be the real hero by the end of the movie .

This is definitely an underrated movie and I feel the reason is because of the bittersweet end. Unfortunately many people don't recognize the undertones of the whole story: - This is a dystopian tragedy with a great degree of realism. - Katniss Everdeen is not a superhero. She is strong-willed but is also very vulnerable. She experiences fear, sorrow and the whole series does not portray her as an invincible hero, which is why I love her character. In fact, she is not given any special treatment by the rebellion forces but is well-respected for being a symbol of the resistance. - President Snow is not your typical all-bad one-dimensional villain. He is a dictator when it comes to his policies towards the districts, but at the same time he genuinely care about the well-being of his proximal subjects, i.e. the people of the Capitol. This is clearly seen when he provided shelter to all Capitol's refugees and despite knowing he lost the war, he stayed in his mansion amongst his people and did not flee. - President coin on the other hand is an antagonist who was introduced as a protagonist. She is smart, cunning and manipulative. She knows that media play a major role in winning the masses and her propaganda machine was the reason she won. - The war wasn't only about power and military might. Tactics and propaganda played a major role. This is why this movie is intelligent. The rebels weren't stronger, but were smarter. - The only thing that bothered me was that Katniss cried to Rue's death more than Prim's. However, I can understand that with everything going on in the aftermath of Capitol's fall, there wasn't much room for sentiments. We do eventually see her break into tears in a moment of silence and loneliness back in her house in district 12. This is one of those movies series that leaves you feeling emptiness after it concludes. You want more but you know there isn't any. It does conclude in an unpredictable yet very satisfactory way, and that is what I love about it. Overall, excellent acting, cinematography, soundtracks, storytelling and attention to details. I am not giving it 10/10 because of some minor flaws here and there.

Starting out on March 23rd 2012 to become the overdrive franchise success for Minor Hollywood distributor Lionsgate Films and production company Color Force in order finish on November 22nd 2015 with releasing the split-in-two third part of "The Hunger Games" Trilogy "Mockingjay" written as kind of U.S. American remake of Koushun Takami's Japanese book "Battle Royale", by Suzanne Collins and wrapped up as novelties to make the book deal of decade.The adaptation had been well-crafted hands with establishing Director Gary Ross, who took his time to follow up on his all-time classic "Seabiscuit" (2003), directing ultimately force-of-nature Jennifer Lawrence to a self-determined movie-carrying leading actress at the age of 21. And so it comes that Jennifer Lawrence jumps, fights and practicing a major armada of properties in the art department to become the iconic character of Katniss Everdeen, who rises above the rest to identify a generation of the strange and lost.What happened after the opening weekend in March 2012 was nothing short of miracle working in the making. The by Gary Ross directed first part clicked into a Zeitgeist phenomena, which will last for another 3 and 1/2 years, making close to 3 Billion U.S. Dollars in total revenue for the production company with a 500 Million Dollar effort in production budgets for all three adaptations of Suzanne Collins' novels, counting a total page count of 1155 pages, adapted into 500 Minutes of motion picture entertainment.Director Francis Lawrence, known for his lucky strike remake of "The Omega Man" (1971) with "I am Legend" in 2007, came on-board in summer 2012 to conclude the remaining two parts for the big screen. Getting along with already starred-up Jennifer Lawrence, about to win her first Academy-Award for "Silver Linings Playbook" directed by mark-hitting David O. Russel, makes her train even harder for "Catching Fire" to present herself in the fighting role of a life-time, killing off her opponents of the same generation like flies from the living room wall in sticky New Yorker apartment and learning the ropes for big-time Hollywood CGI-integrated event movie productions.Audiences around the world could not believe their eyes, when it came peak-taking "Hunger Games" moment in part 2 with the mandrill fighting scene shot in IMAX format, which arguably could only be outrun by Christopher Nolan's directed Joker vs. Batman "Hit me" street duel scene from "The Dark Knight" (2008). Nevertheless Francis Lawrence dug in deep into the material given by Suzanne Collins and adapted by changing screen writing teams from "Catching Fire" to "Mockingjay", which in my opinion could have been the desirable 180 Minutes overdrive sophisticating entertainment ride without taking out the tension after 110 Minutes in "Mockingjay - Part 1" with the intensely performing, but stuck on the character of Peeta Mellak for life, Josh Hutcherson strapped to the bed of intensive care unit.© 2017 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)
