I Thought It Was Just Fine

Rating: 8/10 (2 December 2014)

Not sure what all the complaining is about. I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. I put it on at least the same level as Catching Fire and maybe a little higher. It was somewhat of a relief not to have to go back to the arena (which I felt both times that Katniss got off easy not having to murder close friends and allies to survive). Having heard that it was short on action, I was satisfied that it had a decent balance between action, drama, and plot progression. I had a few bones to pick along the way, mainly about scenes that seemed overly dramatic and tried a little too hard to pull at the viewers heartstrings, but overall, came away satisfied. I give it an 8 of 10.
