Another ending

Rating: 8/10 (22 November 2013)

I loved the movie but another ending would've been appreciated. I am not speaking of altering the facts and elements for the ending, because I know this movie is following a novel that I didn't read. However, after all that build up, I probably wanted more explanation or a little more closeness between Katniss and her love Gale.
Unfortunately I am a fan of Peeta and Katniss, even if I know it's not going to happen.
The cinematography was beautiful and the set design was inviting. Even if the world created to depict Panem was set to be dark and cold. The plot was entertaining and the surprise factor kept popping up.
I did know that Katniss was going to be inserted in the game somehow and that was why we were watching another movie, bringing all of the victors into the competition was just a massacre plan that only portrayed the evil inside the Capitol's intellectual minds along with the President.
I also knew that Plutarch was not legitimately on the Capitol's team but I couldn't explain why just yet. However at the end we audience, discover along with Katniss what is the real plan behind all this mess and nonsense.
I think that Donald Sutherland was the perfect pick to play President Snow and I enjoyed the character development of Caesar by Stanley Tucci. I particularly don't follow Liam Hemsworth, because there is some work to be done with his acting, still. Effie was the comic relief, of course, and make the experience more enjoyable; thanks to the brilliant writing which kept all the dynamic in tune, without sounding unnatural.
I think this story is brilliant and beautiful, a little unreal but no necessarily that unreal for other times, both from the past and the future. I loved it and I will definitely go watch the next one, since I have so many questions still.
