Disappointing Set-up and Boring Exposition Movie

Rating: 7/10 (22 November 2014)

This is a waste of time if you are looking into watching this film. It is basically 2 hours of boring exposition that does not satisfy or pay off in the end of the movie. The shallow acting from almost all characters certainly does not help its case, when its elapsed time of action is less than the time of JLaw making weird faces on screen. This movie was an obvious cash-grab that had no purpose other than to make money and set up a finale to the Hunger Games movies. In the end(don't worry I'm not giving out spoilers), the movie does not pay off what it was trying to build up for the whole movie. The whole plot kind of repeated and then becomes redundant towards the middle. The climax is not exciting, because we are too busy seeing Katniss crying, while the real action going on is not being showed on screen. I rated this movie so high, because I am excited for Part 2, and hopefully it will not be filled with the boring garbage that made this film inferior.
