Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1

Actors: Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Julianne Moore, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Jeffrey Wright, Stanley Tucci, Donald Sutherland.
Rating:  8 out of 10, This takes the Katniss Everdeen story beyond the games into the full-fledged rebellion her actions generated.  This is an obvious transition movie to get all the pieces in place for the final confrontation.  There’s not as much action and we spend a lot of time watching Jenifer Lawrence emote about the unfairness of her choices while experiencing a series of really bad hair days.  Luckily she’s such a great actress that’s not a bad fate for any movie goer but overall the movie was pretty depressing. Now we’re forced to wait year so the movie makers can wring the last possible dollar out of the franchise instead of delivering a completely satisfying movie. I still can’t get the damned Hanging Tree song out of head either.

MVP:   Lawrence as Katniss can now effortlessly carry a very big movie
