A Battle Royale 2 Clone That Simply Does Not Work

Rating: 1/10 (7 January 2016)

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 is one of those rare movies you want to forget you saw. A mixed up thriller about a freedom fighter teen romance (who happens to be female)and her deadly exploits. Jennifer Lawrence, one of the beautiful assassins in the movie Naked Killer is wasted here in this wretched exploitation movie which tries too hard to emulate BATLLE ROYALE II. It fails to work on several levels. As a political thriller, the movie is laughably inept..the plot is so convoluted and implausible that you can only shake your head in disgust.
Most of the characters are so two dimensional you can see right through them. As an exploitation flick this movie doesn't even titillate much less stimulate. Not at all in the same league as other Hollywood ripoffs of old mangas and animes of similar theme such as Inception and The Avatar. JLaw fans should stick with X-Men, a much better crafted story. Avoid this 'movie' with like the plague.
