CURRENT CINEMA HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY - PART 1 JOSEPH MELLY 3.The scene in the bomb shelter where they Francis Lawrence’s third instalment of our are silent as explosions shake the room. favourite Hunger Games franchise is another fun, gripping ride of a movie, still managing to withhold a fair balance of faithfulness to the book and a dark, sadistic inner layer… 4.Everything about District 13. But that’s all it is, and it could be so much more had it given us any closure whatsoever. I feel like there was no need for the final 5.Philip Seymour Hoffman (RIP) & Presibook to be separated, and leaving the cinema dent Coin. I felt amazed but unsatisfied; I was given the bitter impression that Lawrence was now dragging Suzanne Collins’ trilogy out for the 6.Effie Trinket brought the bants. $$$. Despite this, the set-up appears perfect for what comes next (having read the books) and the sets and action scenes looked really good. I think the slower pacing of the characters is very important in this movie, because of all the changes that are happening with every one of them. I like what Lawrence did to fill in the knowledge gaps in the book; in the book, we could only see what Katniss sees, whereas in the movie there are a variety of perspectives. It gives me more to look forward to in each movie. I wonder how much Plutarch will need to change in the last sequel because Philip Seymour Hoffman didn't finish filming his parts before he sadly died. I can't believe we have to wait an entire year to see the final installment! My favorite moments in the movie: 1.Josh Hutcherson is great in this movie, and I found myself enjoying Peeta’s twisted scenes the most. 2.Natalie Dormer.
