The beginning of the end

Rating: 10/10 (23 November 2014)

I had very little hope for this film, I assumed it would be the worst in the series as possibly the weakest book, therefore I set my expectations very low and was very surprised. Mockingjay part 1 kept me hooked into it from start to finish and I was very entertained. With great acting (especially from Jennifer Lawrence) and a very interesting plot. I might have enjoyed it because I was expecting a dull start to the end of the series, as nothing really seemed to kick off until the second half of the book.
The film just seemed to flow by and made good use of the 2 hour runtime and I never found myself sitting there in boredom hoping for things to pick up a bit more. The tension was kept well throughout and finished well; it didn't finish on an appalling cliffhanger such as catching fire where you are left questioning the film but it also didn't drag on and bored everyone. Some scenes in the film were very tense and entertaining and had a few minor twists which kept me on the edge of my seat.
Overall, If you like me are a big fan of the series but not as excited for this installment, I highly recommend you lower your expectations and go and see it. You will not be disappointed.
