dragging on...

Rating: 7/10 (2 January 2017)

This movie tries hard, and it does what it can, but I agree with the reviewers that this is getting a little retread. I think the stories are good, but this can only be done with so much, and it does lead well into the "second sequel" as Catniss does battle with old and new tormentors and features new scenes and scenarios for the Hunger Games. You will need to have seen the previous two movies to get this one. It's an OK film for action film fans and fans of the series. Once again, Jennifer Lawrence turns in a terrific performance, and there are lots of good action scenes and a decent plot. It's a pretty good timekiller.
** out of ****
