Not so good like the previous 2

Rating: 7/10 (6 December 2014)

The film has not really a lead-in. It starts in the middle of the action. And it stops also there. It's like the film wants to say "I'm a sequel and I will have a sequel too."
There's less action than in "Hunger Games" and "Catching Fire" because Katniss and Peeta don't participate in the Hunger Games this time. Because of that there's also not so much tension. During some phases the film is a bit boring.
The actors did a good job. Jennifer Lawrence is not as good as usual, but Donald Sutherland and Woody Harrelson are great. Liam Hemsworth was a positive surprise. His appearance in Expendables 2 was horrible, but this time he was quite good. Maybe he's not so much less talented than his brother Chris "Thor" Hemsworth. Natalie Dormer from Game of Thrones was nice. It was good to see Philip Seymour Hoffman. After he died I thought somebody else would play Plutarch, but obviously they finished the films before Seymour Hoffman died.
The visual effects of the first 2 films were much better, but this one has also some nice scenes. Like the liberation of Peeta which looks a bit like Operation Neptune's Spear.
The biggest strength of the film is the topic of the medial war and psy ops. The rebels and the government are fighting much more in the media than on the battlefield. I liked the way how the film treats this topic.
