Two movies one plot!

Rating: 8/10 (29 November 2014)

I thought this movie was a great movie. My biggest complaint about this movie is I feel like this was a cash grab. Don't get me wrong I think this was a really well done cash grab up but I feel as though the last book Mockingjay part one and two could have been combined into one single movie.
With that out of the way I think this was a really good movie. I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone. I think that Jennifer Lawrence did a really good job being Katiness Everdeen as the lead in this movie. The acting in this movie was very good all around and I really can't point to an actor and and say they had a bad performance. Some of the people cast in this movie made there roles in this movie more memorable then if it was a different actor. For example Philip Seymour Hoffman as Plutarch Heavensbee and Julianne Moore as President Coin really add something to there roles which might not be present otherwise. The special effects were really good in this movie. I felt like I was really a part of this futuristic world. This was aided by excellent editing by Alan Edward Bell and Mark Yoshikawa. I think the way they cut some of the more dramatic scenes in this movie really increased the suspense.
I think this was a great movie and is worth seeing but I think that the reason to make a Mockingjay 1 and 2 instead of just one movie is to make money. Granted 300 million dollars is a lot of money but I think artistically speaking this movie would have been better not split up between part one and two.
