Excellent

Rating: 10/10 (13 December 2014)

The movie is very well done. What I find most annoying, is that people say that it was boring and there is minimal action. Uh hello? If you read the book, then you know that not much action happens. Mockingjay is more about political warfare and how the media is used in war. This is one of the problems in America, they place more importance on action rather than on these deep movies that show the corruption in governments. Unfortunately, part 1's are usually not the most entertaining, mostly because it is leading up to the grand finale. We've seen this with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and Twilight Breaking Dawn.
However, Mockingjay part 1 was very interesting, and we see many parts of Panem in the revolution that we don't see in the books. (SPOILER) When Finnick is telling Panem of the horrors that Snow put him through, we see Gale and Boggs and four other people rescue Peeta and Johanna and Enobaria. In my opinion, this is great because its almost setting us up for the horrific scenes with a hijacked Peeta.
You cannot just base a movie on its action. While reading many reviews, I've noticed one common critique... ...Its boring. While some parts may seriously lack action, comedy and interesting plot lines supplement. Yes, I will admit there are some parts of the movie I was not exactly thrilled with, I looked at the movie based on not only the book, its entirety as a movie. I urge people to disregard the absence of action in this movie, if you don't you'll only set yourself up for disappointment.
