This is based off the novel The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, and is the third sequel of the film series. Katniss Everdeen has been taken to the remains of District thirteen with fellow victor Beetee and Finnick Odair. Peeta Mellark is still held captive by the Capitol. The other districts have begun protesting the Capitol in any method that is possible, but are loosing faith. President Alma Coin convinces Katniss to become a propaganda for the rebellion. Through this, Katniss begins to witness the damage this rebellion has caused. Katniss also struggles to rescue Peeta from the Capitol.
This film was directed by Francis Lawrence. Fortunately, this film remains as true to the novels as it possibly can. Like most modern popular novel recreations, the finale has been split into two parts. A lot of recent films have done this by forcing more unnecessary material into a completed story. However, this film takes what the other films have been unable to show and use it as its filler material-which works amazingly for this film. Since this film is part 1 of 2, it does feel like it's missing an ending; which audience's will have to wait another year for. This story has taken a much emotionally darker turn than its predecessors. There isn't a lot of gore, but there is morbidity. It's the prequel to the rebellion war, so there is naturally a lot of suggested violence. Surprisingly, it still received a PG-13 rating. The story offers the perfect political and emotional build-up to the upcoming part 2 film. There is some action, but not a ton of it. This film focuses more on the character emotions and the politics that led to this rebellion. It also takes its time showing how this war is affecting the people, and how either side has lost their ethics. Jennifer Lawrence returned to the role of Katniss Everdeen. She has really grown into this role. She was able to fully offer this character the extreme emotional loss that it deserved. Liam Hemsworth Returned to the role of Gale Hawthorne. For the first time in this series, he had more than a brief appearance. He was a great supporting actor for Lawrence. Julianne Moore played the role of President Alma Coin. She was capable of giving a very dry character an unsetting appearance. Philip Seymour Hoffman returned to the role of Plutarch Heavensbee. He was able to continue his role in this film-it is not entirely certain how much he will appear in part 2. Either way, it was nice to watch him for a final time.
I give this film 5 out of 5 stars! It is a great build-up for the next film. It also offers audiences a chance to better understand these familiar character.
