The Hunger Games: Mockingjay- Part One (2014) Review

I didn't except much of the movie before I came in, nor was I very excited to see the movie. It started out with Katniss waking up from her bed, gasping. Huh, haven't we seen this enough? After a while into the movie, the plot actually moves forward and Katniss is elected the Mockingjay. I already don't like Julianne Moore's character, and the quality of the late Philip Seymour Hoffman's character has gone down as well. And instead of bringing interesting characters to assist Katniss like in the previous films, we get a bunch of boring losers. And to make matters worse, Gale is back. But at least he's being played by a great actor, Liam Hemsworth, who has won a few Oscars. Oh, wait. He's completely awful. Katniss leads the group and gives some lame-ass speeches that the writers probably thought would be great, but were terrible. Finnick erases everything that made us like him in the previous films. And for the rest of the movie, Peeta becomes a complete psycho freak murderer and Katniss, again, breaks down and starts crying every five minutes. Also, the two characters that helped the story, Haymitch and Effie, are turned completely minor and forgettable. I wasn't a huge fan of the first, but I will admit that it was good compelling and had good action, and the second one improved upon both and made for a great film, but the entire 2 hours is not spent with any enjoyable, or even any action at all. Completely forgettable and certainly bad, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay- Part One is not only a mouthful to say, but it has completely destroyed the tension, anticipation, and  the completeness the first two films brought.
Movie Rating: C
