After being rescued from the destroyed arena
of her second Hunger Games in a row, Katniss Everdeen finds herself in District
13, a new rebel zone who wishes to wage war on the Capitol and President Snow.
The president of the rebels, Alma Coin, recruits Katniss to become that living Mockingjay
symbol that will inspire the other districts to join the fight.
It is quite easy to get emotionally involved
in a storyline like the one in The Hunger Games franchise. The fight against an
oppressive authority figurehead has been dealt with many times in the movies,
and most of us can relate with the idea of freeing ourselves from someone who
has too much power.
The cast is solid, per usual, in this second
sequel. Jennifer Lawrence was definitely the right choice. It was also a treat
to see the talented Julianne Moore join the team.
While the first two films of this franchise
were high on action, the pace was a little slower in Mockingjay part 1. Also,
most of the scenes were shot in darker indoor sets. The visuals were a major
strong point of the first two movies, so that was a bit of a disappointment.
All things considered, The Hunger Games:
Mockingjay Part 1 offered some good entertainment and it was quite decent
follow-up to the first two films.
