This film was brilliant!

Rating: 8/10 (18 December 2014)

Over four years ago I read the entirety of The Hunger Games Trilogy. When the third book was released some loved it, and others loved to hate it. Events and ideas were mentioned in the first half of the book yet not told in great detail therefore confusing the readers. The book only began to pick up it's pace half-way through. This is why I was initially worried about the third book in this popular trilogy being made into a Part 1 and 2. Yet this film pulled all the best ideas and events out of Mockingjay into a film that had a heart. A heart that leads towards the climax of this franchise without the film dragging in pace. From the music to the acting this film had it all! I loved that this film wasn't afraid to bring forth strong themes that are often hard to swallow for the Young Adult demographic. This is now my second favourite film of this franchise (1.Catching Fire, 3.The Hunger Games) as it portrays themes similar to those in our own society. This film isn't all doom and gloom as some instances of comic relief are used perfectly. I think this film should appeal to teens and adults alike, both books readers or only movie goers.
