The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part I - In theaters November 21, 2014
- Thread starter Drum18
- Start date
Ouch... hum my dear friend, I couldn't disagree more! Both Miss Drum and I were kinda meh after this Part 1. Some cool action sequence (not enough) but for the few they were, they felt great. Not sure about the running cam... never liked that and surely this is not helping...@bloodsnake007 Just got done - Wow! All you Hunger Games and action genre movie fans are IN FOR A TREAT! This one is going make more money than the first 2 combined)
Exactly the same feeling Z. Haven't read the books either but I felt this as a standalone was purely a "wasted" 2 hours. Would have preferred a longer 3-4 hours movie instead of 2x 2 hours. But of course, it's not the same Studio/Money Wise...
Too bad... another year to wait...
Sorry to hear that @Drum18 - I read the book and the movie has a different feel/approach which was exciting to me and unlike most fans, I like the idea of a 2 part third movie because Mockingjay is, to me, a long and intense third book. I also like where they broke the story without giving too much of the second part away so yes it was a build-up to the next movie. To me, it has to show how Katniss becomes who she is so that we will believe she is capable of what she will do later on.
Well been seen and LOVED LOVED LOVED IT !!
.
So much better layed out than Catching Fire it was like disjointed ohh a Trubute is Dead ohh thire goes oh and again. It was like the the full horror of the games where rushed as to what the lesser characters had been put through.
Finnik I felt was a little underused when they did WWWHHHHOOOPPP
.
GALE DID SOMETHING WWWHHHHOOOPPP WWWHHHHOOOPPP
.
The tribute to the late great Philip Seymour Hoffman with his performance showes just what has been lost to us movie goers :-( .
On the plus side the movie stoped dead froze solid
15 minates later
when it restarted just in time for the titles showing seconds after the close up of Katness .
4 complimentary tickets to ANY 2D MOVIE
.
NO ONLY ONE MOVIE Okenshild WE WILL FOLLOW YOU ONE LAST TIME
. Even though I know it will end with me being this

Just got out and this was a slower paced movie in my opinion. The one thing I did like is that even though this is a set up for the final movie the movie did advance the story. Hobbit 2 imo was just filler. This at least accomplished something.
The acting seemed better too.
@Scary Hair if Finnik was underused then what about Haymitch. He was underused and Woody Harrelson has been amazing, he really is a great actor from cheers to zombieland through this.
Seeing Philip Seymour Hoffman and having a pretty large role in the movie is odd, I forget if they finished the entire shooting before he passed. I know they filmed all of Mockingjay in one go

Hi @mllNY
The reason I felt Finnik was underused was he was SO brash and arrogant in the first movie . To see the shell he became then finally standing and seeing the shine back in him .
I felt looking in I had more of a feel for who and what Haymich is as he has been pivotal in the previous films. I also felt that IF they had used Woody Harrelson much more than he was on screen he'd have shown a few chinks in the casting and out shone some BIG names . Julianne Moore I was not completely sold on her in this role.
I seem to remember at the time of Philip Seymour Hoffman's death they where a few days from wraping the two movies.
The use of the quieter moments gave a stillness and peace to the hell that had been wrought and what IS to come.
The whole song leading to the Dam and its effectiveness that for me was BLISS.
Well interesting to see our different views . For me this was the best then the Hunger Games my least favourite was Catching Fire . Either way a brilliant set of movies . Roll on Part 2
Finally watched Hunger Games 1 & 2 over the weekend and have to admit the wife and I both enjoyed them very much! We'll be going to the cinema this weekend to watch this
I finally watched this on Wednesday night. I'm a mix: I really enjoyed this movie, but I'm also looking forward to watching Mockingjay as one solid movie when part 2 finally comes out.
Did everyone else stick around to the end to watch the Mockingjay symbol progression (stinger at the very end of the credits)? The final Mockingjay looks badass! Can't wait for the final movie!
