I'm a big hunger games fan,Mockingjay however was my least favourite book of the series. I'm not going to get into why as this is a movie review. I am going to try and review the movie based on the movie.
I was skeptical when I heard they were splitting this there is not a lot to work with here,I think splitting Catching Fire would have made more sense. The only movie I agreed with splitting was Harry Potter. It made sense. I was pleasantry surprised and quite enjoyed this movie.
The acting was amazing. Jennifer Lawrence was great as always. She really brings warmth to Katniss that I think many others would have a hard time with. Josh Hutcherson is great in the little time he gets. Philip Seymour Hoffman really shows how great of an actor he was,and what a loss he is to the acting world. Julianne Moore did a wonderful job,her performance as Coin gives you the unsettling feeling about Coin. Sam Claflin was good in the limited role but he did shine when he was on. Elizabeth Banks though blew me away. She really showed a whole new side to Effie. It was very layered and you can feel that she is putting up this act to hide how scared she is.
The shaky cam is back and I was not happy about that. It drives me up the wall.
Jennifer Lawrence also sang "The Hanging Tree" it was a beautiful version and well done. The ending is one you will either love or hate.
I think if you have read the book,you'll enjoy it as you know what is to come but if you have not you might have some issues with it. Although I think in a year when you see the second part you might like it more. That being said you should be able to watch a movie without reading the books.
