A passing mark for an overall underwhelming watch

Rating: 5/10 (21 November 2014)

After watching Hunger Games original and Catching Fire, I honestly had high hopes for this movie. I must say that I was disappointed greatly as the plot was dull and painfully slow to the extent of the movie becoming stale. I felt as if I was paying money to see President Coin make speeches or Katniss getting interviewed by a camera. The plot isn't horrible by any means, but the whole movie has a lot of unnecessarily long scenes, and yes, I am referring to the speeches and interviews. I felt that will such a painfully slow movie, it would have been better had they decided to launch Mockingbird as a whole, but money I guess. The acting is not horrible, don't get me wrong, but a really, really slow and boring watch really doesn't get me rolling over a movie. If anything, I am not convinced into watching Part 2 when it comes next year.
