Remarkably, this maintains the above average quality of the previous installments, despite the lack of any real plot advancement. It does so by going even darker; a palpable specter of death hangs over the proceedings, from Katniss' losses, to the sacrificial acts of rebellion, to explicit threats of human extinction in this post-apocalyptic universe. If Hollywood insists on more of these unnecessary multi-part adaptations with not enough story, they can at least aim for this standard. RIP PSH.

This is as high as I can rank it. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part I, like others, just fails to reach its high expectations. This two-parter could have used (some) more emotional grasp. Slow and not a lot of action, and that's what people are complaining about, but you have to remember: This is merely the intro to the greater part of the book, which is a decent sequel if I do say so myself. Not as good as the first two, but still a good movie.

I didn't understand what was going on half the time and frankly, my dear, I couldn't give a damn. Despite being the third entry in an already tired franchise, THG remains so frustratingly underwhelming, so instantly forgettable, it not only ruins any enjoyment that might be found but also complicates straightforward empathy for any of its characters. Except Peeta of course, whom I can't help but root for to finally get to second base. Don't give up buddy, you're almost there!

Two watches, one opinion. Mockingjay 1 in still in the middle of the HG movies -- it doesn't have the production or pacing issues of the first (despite claims that "nothing happens", which I think are dumb, and makes me question what movie those people were watching), but it lacks the quality of performance and impact of the second. Truth be told, this one felt a little hammy in spots. But those are minor qualms; it's a good movie. Interesting commentary on the propaganda process. I dug it!

Mockingjay: Part 1 is the first instalment of the split in two series finale. Many deem the split unnecessary and as a standalone film this doesn't cover that much content. This is a very different film from it's predecessors and the action is substituted for politics and unnecessary plot development that builds towards Part 2. But the narrative suffers from the absence of the actual games and this film relies heavily on the performances of Jennifer Lawrence and the serviceable supporting cast.

On my scale it succeeds just as well as the first two, but this is a completely different experience - and that is actually a good thing in my book. I liked that it wasn't another gear-up-and-fight installment, although I'm pretty sure that we'll see our fair share of bows and arrows, tridents and crossbows in what's coming next fall. I'm looking forward to the last chapter, because of this darker and more immersive installment.

With no arena to drive the narrative forward, and no sci-fi society to explore, I found this interminably boring. There's some great political satire, but the two previous films managed to give us satire and oh so much more. Lawrence is undoubtedly great at her job - just about plain enough to pass for one of us, and able to genuinely lose herself in the moment, but the camera ignores the supporting cast and their world to shadow an actress whose celebrity has far outgrown the role and the film.

There is no irrational reason to pad "Mockingjay" to two movies (the rational reason being cash). As a story about propaganda and pragmatism, that feels a little on the nose. Not bad, but half-assed; too substantial to be just a YA action movie, but too eager to please to be labeled "dark" in any other meaning but the cinematographical one. A story about selling rebellion as a fashion accessory that does exactly that; I want to think there's more to that, but I doubt Part 2 wants to tell it.

I understand that these "part 1" movies are always going to feel lacking in this area but I'm not sure I've seen such a big movie that felt so incomplete story wise. This one didn't even seem to try to make this movie at least have it's own mini story while serving the bigger picture. It's hard for me to carry any enthusiasm over from this half of a movie for about 11 months.

Like its predecessors, Mockingjay is not bad, not good, but just manages to exist in his own little world of adolescent naivité and puberal desires. The more political approach is a welcome change to an otherwise action-oriented series, but the shallowness and simplicity of the conflict is severely hurting. Only to make matters worse, Katniss' self-pity is extremely annoying considering the flat characteristics.

Well made and acted like the previous films in the series, but it is held back by being the first half of a book that tells a single story. There really isn't enough substance here to justify splitting the book into two movies, and we are left with a lot of exposition and monologues building up to what will be an action-packed conclusion in the next film. Yet it is still a decent movie thanks to the cast, led by a predictably strong lead performance from Jennifer Lawrence.

They pulled a Hobbit 2, taking a normal story arc and stretching it 2x, which puts all the climax and great action in the latter movie, and leaves the 1st as mostly filler and buildup. There's a lot of stalling in Mockingjay 1, and at the end of the day no exciting climax, no satisfying resolution, not much plot movement at all, really. It's also quite barren on the action front compared to the earlier Hunger Games. Maybe worth it as Part 1+2 next year, but worthless on its own.

If you like the Hunger Games series, or have read the books, maybe it's OK? Honestly this franchise is getting more and more boring with each installment. If you want to watch J Law in barely believable character shooting pro-rebel propaganda in various settings of interchangeable rubble while pretty much nothing happens for 2 hours, this is the movie for you. I really wish I could care about these films, but they're just not engaging.

Mockingjay -- Part 1 is the weakest of the Hunger Games movies so far, but that doesn't mean it's bad. It's got about 45 minutes of plot stretched out to two hours, which means it's slow-paced and not a whole lot of consequence happens. It's all building up to the next installment, which means that it's a must-watch for anyone planning to see how this series ends. It's full of politically fueled speeches and people looking somber, all while stuck underground waiting for the real action to start.

Overall, I like the series. This was not one of the best installments. It's nice to see Julianne Moore join the crew. Jennifer Lawrence is a delight to watch, even when it doesn't prove to be a stellar movie. This one is a big lead in to the next, so feels half done by the time it's over. The series has a lot of heavy handed themes, and some of the dramatics, especially parts about Peeta, were rather transparent and ill conceived. Still it was entertaining, though not entirely satisfying.

Really solid while watching, but it's still very dependent on how the final part shapes up to determine its value. The criticism is more about marketing strategies infiltrating filmmaking than anything else. But the score could rise or fall. If I had my druthers, this trend of splitting books into two or three (Hobbit!) or eventually more (The Stand) would end. But...you know...MONEY!

Definitely much more grown up then the first two films in the series, Mockingjay Part 1 takes on darker themes and commands fine performance from the a-list cast. It proves that emotion is the key to winning over audiences and allowing actors of this caliber to play on such themes as love, devotion and sacrifice pays dividends when the tone sets the mood for a grand finale.

Until the end of the last film, the series smartly hid the fact that there was any group strong enough 2 overthrow its fascist regime, which meant no 1 had any idea how it'd end. Now that the rebels have been revealed however, & b/c none of them are 1/2 as compelling as Katniss & so much of the film has them biding their time in a shelter, 2 much of this plays as prolonging the inevitable. The series' normally welcome focus on the ugliness of violence also now feels a bit The Passion of Katniss

I don't really have a lot to add to the conversation on this film; it just didn't work that well for me. I'm not exactly an action junkie, but I think it's fair to say that, objectively, the more kinetic sequences of the Hunger Games films have always been the strongest, and Catching Fire in particular benefit from some truly exciting scenes and spectacles. This time around, sans Games and largely sans action of any kind, I was a tad bored; things never really gained momentum.

Katniss's wings have been clipped here, and one of the great modern YA fiction heroines spends the brunt of this movie wandering around in a watery-eyed, wobbly-chinned stupor. It's a pretty big downer, and if you thought the 2nd one suffered from a sense of incompleteness, you ain't seen frigging nothing yet. Technically well-made, and essential if you're a fan of the franchise, but discouraging, I must admit. The 4th one's got a lot of work to do...

I'm apparently a massive HG apologist despite never reading the books. I just dig these movies. I think this was awesome. Was it slow? Kinda, but it was a good slow. It was building and building, watching the little acts of rebellion was intense. This was darker and more gritty, with less comic relief and a general sense of urgency. Sure, it doesn't have a ton of action but it doesn't need it because the action that does take place has huge consequences. Part 1 tried something a little diff.

Provocative, horrifying, and brilliant. A staggering achievement full of the contradictory morals, flawed characters, and nuanced emotions that Katniss (and the reader) experienced in the novels. A film that needs to steep to be fully appreciated, and one that will hopefully be fulfilled in the next chapter. It makes one wish Francis Lawrence could go back in time to make the first installment of the series worth watching.

Somewhat surprisingly, the series Mockingjay Part 1 most closely resembles is Star Wars - specifically Empire.

Am I crazy if I think this is actually slightly better than the first two films? It's certainly on the same level. This is adapted from the first half of the weakest book of the series, and actually improves quite a bit on its source material by fleshing it out and adding some additional character moments and plot developments that the book was either lacking or allowed to happen off-screen. I really love how this movie series is coming together - hopefully the last one's just as good.

It doesn't feel like a whole film. You know that point in the 3-act structure where the protagonist reaches a low, before finding themselves and overcoming whatever obstacle? This ends on the low point, making it an intensely unsatisfying movie. It's a shame, because there's a lot to like about it, and the series is still far and away the best of the Young Adult movie franchises. I've not read the book, so no idea what the 2nd half will be like, but it feels they could have done it in one film.

So they go into one of the districts with a camera crew. JL and LH get separated from the camera crew, go up on a roof where Jennifer shoots down two planes. The shot that shows the two planes being destroyed are not from the camera crew, yet in the propaganda video, it is the exact same shot of the planes being shot down except without JL and LH in it. The camera crew didn't film that. Also what is the point of shooting a deer when they have plenty of food where they are staying. Dumb film.

The quality of the film making is on par with the rest of the series, but it felt a bit lacking as the first part of the book is the build up and the resolution we're all waiting for is in the second half. If they had simply made one movie I think this film would have been more satisfying.

I loved the "hanging tree" song, the music was fabulous and fitting, but that's about everything I loved. Mockingjay Part I is slow, is quite storyless and, to be honest, is just "empty". It doesn't offer anything, this is nothing more than a view, a glampse at what will come. No, it's more actually, because visually this film is great, as he first two, and Lawrence and Hoffman are great, but that doesn't make up for the emptiness of this film. Let's say: A red carpet walk to the final.

This is not necessarily a condemnation. These concepts deepen the story beyond who Katniss wants to smooch and whether Prim will be able to keep her cat. And they can inspire us to keep fighting our own necessary fights. But they do serve notice of a bleaker journey. A journey Katniss could never have imagined while in the middle of the Hunger Games.

This franchise requires the audience to buy into Katniss's love for Peeta, and this movie in particular. The problem is that Peeta is portrayed in such a way that it makes it almost impossible to imagine Katniss loving him. Anyway, this whole part 1 of 2 was annoying because it's hard to judge a movie with only half a story. I do think that the series is becoming more and more interesting as we get more into the politics of this world, so I'm still exited for the final installment.

The most mature, the most (melo)dramatic, but also most tedious of all the installments, so far. A bit underrated I have to say, as well. Part 1 is mostly all introduction and a bit of the middle, so it's safe to say part 1 and 2 should be viewed as one long four hour film. Cool to see PSH one last time, as he was excellent as always. Looking forward to part 2.

The acting is exceptional in the slowest movie of the series. The slowness though is not a negative, as the film explores darker themes and has just enough action scenes to keep things lively.

The moment where Katniss and the rebels sing the haunting song while fighting back was very well done. A lot of other stuff wasn't, particularly the District 13 bombing scene which was an uncomfortably long sequence of nothing but flashing lights. Ultimately, the movie is unsatisfying because it's been split in two. Having read the book, there were many parts that easily could have been sacrificed to fill a single feature-length narrative.

Grim, ghastly, great. Could've capitalized on the momentum of the simple and effective good rebels vs. bad Capitol set-up of the first two flicks, but instead chose to sit in the darkness underground for a while and meditate on media manipulation and the horrors of war that exist even when you're fighting evil: a remarkable pre-climax storytelling maneuver that sits better the more you stew on it.

I get the sense that Katniss is supposed to be on the verge of a serious breakdown through this entire episode, but it doesn't come across at all. It is like this movie doesn't trust itself. Everybody marching down stairs to underground bunkers is tense. Having a character dart out to save her sister in the nick of time is not.

Are you mocking us Francis Lawrence? This whole splitting a single book into multiple movies needs to stop. This whole film felt unfinished... it really served as a nice music video with it's pretty scenes and nice music. Katniss seemed even less likable in this half film. I also got really tired of hearing about her friend named after a Greek tortilla. Peeta, Peeta, Peeta...

The thematising of the relationship between politics and celebrity, and between dissent and marketing, continues in this instalment, though how much progress is made is debatable, and the narrative, which could have been entitled HUNGER GAMES III: THE SEARCH FOR PEETA, rather flounders. The characters seem increasingly to be empty vessels, and visually, too, it is a case of bland design.

While this is relatively low on action, it still works and is necessary set up for the war to come. Good character work and progresses the universe well. Looking forward to part 2

Everything you'd expect from such a film is here; a high production value, good actors, a slick score etc etc... There's a key ingredient missing though - a reason for it to exist.

The Good: An interesting look at war propaganda. A great supporting cast. And a tone that is almost completely devoid of joy and humour, that complements the narrative. The Bad: The dullest first half-hour put on screen. Another film that is almost completely devoid of joy and humour. Katniss - she's now more enraging than endearing (and we've seen enough J-Law lately). The Ugly: This film is teen bait, rife with hypocrisy, and solely exists to lead into the next instalment.

Jumping straight to this one without having seen the other Hunger Games. I had seen Divergent (2014), which is basically the same story, different wrapping, so I was quickly able to grasp the different sectors storyline. Never truly captivating film making, but at least they didn't kill it was explosions and instead tried to humanize the main characters. Mixed effort, but not as lame as it could have been and leads up nicely for Part 2.

It was OK, not as good as the first.. Don't even remember the second but it's a good setup for the final installment, we shall see. Second viewing: This might be the best film in the series. It is good at showing Katniss' statenof mind well, and the rise of the rebellion just feels good.

Feels really long. I get how you'd wanna see Jennifer Lawrence act a lot and stuff but do you really have to make Katniss t h i s emotionally instable? It's not like she has to be some hard-ass stone cold bitch or something but this way she just seems weaker and weaker with every installment. And way to hit us over the head with all the Katniss-loves-her-little-sister-so-so-much stuff every now and then, Sir. :D

The whole movie could be 10 minutes long and you still wouldn't miss a thing.

These Hunger Games movies are starting to get to me. I know we're in a dystopian setting, but there's no color in the film (we at least had the capital and Effie's wardrobe in the old ones). I get that life in the districts sucks, but I don't need to see a two-hour movie punching me in the face with that fact. Jennifer Lawrence is good as the suffering, reluctant savior, but there wasn't much in this film to get excited about. I heard things get bleaker.
