It's an okay movie, but the split was really unnecessary.

Rating: 7/10 (21 November 2015)

When I heard they were going to split the last book in two movies, I was really disappointed. They said there is too much story to fit in one movie. Yeah, right, and I'm Lady GaGa. I still tried to look on the bright side and remembered how the book felt rushed at times and maybe the story will have more space to breathe. But here, it kinda seems like the story was forced to breathe very deep. Too deep. This isn't a bad movie at all. It's just too stretched for it's own good and turns out to be a total cashgrab. It's very well done and "The Hanging Tree" sequence with the dam scene was one of the best moments in the series. The plot doesn't really go anywhere for the most of the screen time. There's the District 8 part, some rebel scenes and the movie's third act. That's it. But the third act is awesome. That part wasn't really that intense in the book and that's when they showed the potential and some creativity. The book is in first person POV, but the movie isn't and that's the good thing because in the book we hear about some exciting stuff, but in the movie we actually get to see it and that's really good and the third act is mostly what made me like this movie. If you didn't read the book, the twist ending will definitely get you and you will want to watch the next movie immediately. One more problem I have with this film is that Katniss simply isn't an interesting character anymore. Tears, nightmares, traumas... I know she's been through a lot and I can understand that she's stressed and that they should show it in the movie, but they show it way too much. There was this scene when she's dreaming and I was like: "And this was necessary because..." In conclusion, this movie is still pretty much okay and will totally make you want to see the next one.
