Part 1? What's the point?

Rating: 2/10 (18 March 2015)

I get it. A part one is to lead into a part two, only except, this wasn't really a part one. More of a mini series stretched into a part one. Basically, Katniss is alive. Where Katniss is from the place has been demolished. Katniss tours the place. She finds a live rose in a bouquet of dead roses (an envision of Dr. Snow occurs) and Prim Rose's cat. She finds out Peta is alive and she is reunited with some of her old fellows. Together they will fight back but they don't in this part 1, they just plan to. Every time Peta appears on screen he says something that isn't true to his heart and he looks tiresome. Katniss puts two and two together and realizes he is being tortured. Katniss does a lot of starring off into a slight panic with teary eyes. Her character says no more than a paragraph of three sentences every scene. A lot of the scenes had no meaning to move the story line forward. Example: Katniss walks towards a river. She sits on a rock. Gale joins her. (or maybe visa versa) She leans her head on him. His pager goes off and Gale says something like "they want us to come back." He heads back, the camera refocuses on Katniss face. End of scene. Near the end, Katniss realizes Peta is being held and tortured because of her. Obviously, Katniss put two and two together but she didn't get four... YOU THINK! Dr. Snow eventually gives up Peta. Peta is returned bruised and he has a moment of chocking anger against Katniss. That is where the movie got interesting.
