Slow Going as this is a Setup for Part 2

Rating: 7/10 (15 March 2015)

Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) is now the Mockingjay a symbol for the revolution to defeat President Snow (Donald Sutherland) and his dictatorship. Promos are made to insure that all the Districts fall in line behind Katniss.
This movie is a setup for Part 2 when it comes out. Here we will see Katniss brooding for all the people the Capital (refers to Pres Snow's administration) has killed. There is a rescue attempt to free Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) who the Capital is using to help stop the Revolution.
Knowing the above, the movie will be slow going with no resolution until Part 2. However, we will see very good acting performances by all the cast to include Woody Harrelson as Haymitch Abernathy, Phillip Seymour Hoffman as Plutarch Heavensbee, Stanley Tucci as Caesar Flickerman the reporter who interviews Peeta, and Julianne Moore as President Coin of District 13 where the revolutionaries are headquartered.
For me the important thing was seeing a very good actress in Jennifer Lawrence and I was not disappointed. The wig that she wore was somewhat distracting, but she is a class act nevertheless. I do wish that Woody Harrelson and Phillip Seymour Hoffman had more screen time and dialogues as they provide a comfort zone for me. They are that good.
The producers decided to stretch this story out as we saw in that Twilight (Vampire) story and we will have to wait for Part 2 to see how this all ends. (hope there isn't a Part 3) Hmmm. (7/10)
