To start off, I did have high expectations for this movie due to the previous one, Catching Fire. However Mockingjay let me down immensely. I have read all three books in the series and can say though the story was original on paper it just didn’t do it for me on the big screen or more specifically, Mokcingjay. In my honest opinion I do not think the last novel needed to be split into two parts, but we all know why the decision was made…Money, something that makes the world go round (depending on who you ask).
The acting and script was subpar, but I’m a firm believer in an actor/actress can only do so much with what is given to them. The movie had a pointless and boring plot and I was proven this even more so by my friend falling asleep during the movie, leaving me to wake her up. Mockingjay wasn't an all around bad movie, it did have some moments where it caught your attention, but unfortunately that’s just not enough for me. Hopefully Part 2 has a better outcome. Leave a comment below telling me what you think about the movie, books or both. | |
