satisfied my expectations

Rating: 7/10 (9 January 2015)

I liked this movie (although i seriously become annoyed by Hollywoods habit of splitting movies into part 1 and 2 like that!!!).
It shows a lot more character development than the first 2 movies and explains more about "the world" the hunger games are played in (for the people who did not read the novels) The effect of the propaganda movies is well done (a little blunt maybe but still well done) - and the replacement of politics and the escalation of the rebellion seemed believable.
What i did not like too much is that the displayed districts "felt" more like small stages than actual - well... countries (or states). But i guess there is only so much one can do in a movie. Also - i would have loved to see more action/reaction between district 13 and the Capitol to show that the conflict had entered exactly those stages where there were people actually fighting in the field and also fighting in the media - just as fiercely.
Especially the reveal that the Capitol had been the architect of pretty much everything should have been a MUCH greater shock than it came across.
