The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1

"This is the start of how it all ends. They used to shout my name, now they whisper it.

Not surprisingly, Francis Lawrence makes yet another rip-off (the Japanese movie 'Battle Royale II') and, of course, with the added recycled Twilight material (romantic triangle -as evident in 'Divergent' and 'the Huntsman'), clumsy sex scenes and the Hollywood ingredients (PG-13 violence and family friendly, offscreen gore, including the required item number). It may not be among the most expensive films but it's quite apparent that a lot of money has been spent.

There are some complains that they say this third film has less action scenes than the previous ones. Well, I guess the actual Hunger Games is missing.

Surprise often appears inadvertently. Soon after the movie began, I was deeply attracted by the storyline inside.

This film could have been shorter, too long and boring with useless dialogues and almost no action at all. A waste of time and patience.

Dismal. Lacks all the action of the first two with Katniss sitting out on all the interesting stuff.

Moving from the arena, this exert from the franchise focuses more on the larger game, and how the sum of small actions can grow to something much larger, whilst still following our main character. The themes of hope and fear become much more prevalent here, and lead to some of my favourite scenes in cinema - the dam and forest scenes.

If Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2012) was an archetypal example of how to one-up an original movie and create an enthralling and captivating movie franchise, Mockingjay Part 1 is the all too typical way of crushing that excitement. What was shaping up to be a memorable franchise that would become logged in the public discourse and be mentioned in the same breath as Harry Potter and The Chronicles of Narnia was unceremoniously extinguished by a completely lackluster third installment.

One of the worst movies I have ever seen and the most boring movie I have ever seen. No other film has made hate its main characters more than this atrocity of a movie.
