Review of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 (2014) by Scribehard — 21 Nov 2014
I’ve not read the Harry Potter books, but when I saw the last two films – 7.1 and 7.2 – both were so rich and dense and captivating, as both stories and spectacles, it made sense to me why they made two films out of one book.
Not here. There is so much nothing happening in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 that the film feels like money-making, fan-exploiting filler. In the hands of more skilled filmmakers, a tight and tense 20-30 minute introduction in front of Part 2 could do a greater service to the franchise than this 2+ hour chore.
