Don't fret, you can totally skip this movie

Rating: 5/10 (13 August 2019)

Don't fret, you can totally skip this movie. Out of the 2 hour run time there is about 5 minutes of quality content. If you are a fan of the movie I would recommend fast forwarding to:
-Effie's reveal
-"The Hanging Tree" Scene
-Rescuing the Victor hostages
-Katniss reuniting with Peeta
And yeah that's about it. You can sum up the whole plot of this movie in one sentence: Katniss lays low underground in District 13 while producing propaganda and fighting for Peeta's return. That's about it. There isn't really a plot. The cinematography is meh, just a lot of shots of underground bunkers. James Newton Howard's music is always nice. Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson always kill it. However, splitting the last book into 2 movies was not a good move. First of all, the book wasn't even that good. I barely got through it, and I was a huge fan of the series. It's just boring. A political snooze fest. The whole film and most of the book is just sitting and talking.
I'm being honest. If you skipped this movie and went right to Part 2 you wouldn't be lost at all. All you need to know is that District 12 is destroyed, they're in the secret District 13 now, and they just rescued Peeta and he's brainwashed to kill Katniss. You're welcome.
I would only recommend this film to diehard Hunger Games fans. I gave it a 5 because of the music and acting.
