Just like Eragon

Rating: 1/10 (25 November 2014)

For those of you who like the Hunger Games: I suggest you do watch Mockingjay, the third installment in a four part movie series based off of the Hunger Games trilogy written by Suzanne Collins, but only if you wish to be disappointed. This movie was clearly split in two in an attempt to make more money, emulating the last two movies in the Harry Potter franchise. However, this movie was unlike any of the Harry Potter movies. The movie was riddled with poorly edited shots, weak dialog, and in certain parts, very poor research. I was forced to endure too many close-ups of Jennifer Lawrence to count and cringed every time that I heard her scraping whiny voice. This was probably due to poor direction and useless producer. Now, I only watched the first half of the first Twilight movie (the disc, luckily, was scratched) and I believe anyone who would agree that that poor excuse some producers like to call a film, was bad, would also agree that this movie, was a catastrophe. The movie was doomed from the start, because both the producer and the director saw fit to take a nap on their jobs and overuse Jennifer Lawrence, the cash cow, perhaps a very good actor (no one could tell with the poor writing camouflaging everything), so much so, that not even the presence of Woody Harrelson helped. If we are lucky, perhaps Mockingjay will come out as a single movie, while completely ignoring whatever this film had that passed for a story, perhaps with both a successful director and producer in charge.
