Review of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 (2014) by Matt C — 09 Nov 2017
The massive, massive issue here is that there is no way any need for this film to be split into 2. We all know why it has been and it's nothing to do with delivering a great film. We're talking about a paper thin source novel and one in which the first half is it's weakest so it's no surprise that a lot of this film is all about whether Katniss should get spruced up for the camera and the pros and cons of that (yes really).
You're never going to watch this as a standalone film so in that respect alone it's probably amazing that this is quite watchable. We've fallen a long, long way from that excellent first entry though.
