When Katniss destroys the games, she goes to District 13 after District
12 is destroyed. She meets President Coin who convinces her to be the
symbol of rebellion, while trying to save Peeta from the Capitol. - IMDB
As you may or may not know I am a massive Hunger Games fan and having read the books I'm always excited for the films. Although I couldn't remember exactly what happened in Mockingjay
as I read all of the books before The Hunger Games was released, I thought that they had changed the plot in the film, but aarently they hadn't!
Anyway I enjoyed the film, as I always do, and I couldn't wait to see it, as I always do. I did feel like it was a bit slow though and there wasn't really much of a climax, but I guess that's what you get when you split a story in half, and to be honest I found that the books could be a bit slow in the beginning anyway.
I've had a lot of people say that not a lot happened though, which I agree with but Mockingjay Part 1 is just a build up Part 2, just hold on to your hats!
Jennifer Lawrence was fab, as usual, and what a beautiful singer! If you haven't heard it check out The Hanging Tree!
I thought that Peeta's 'destruction' was done really well; without spoiling anything, he gets captured by The Capitol where they brainwash him and he goes a bit md. They added make up to his face which made him look ill and miserable. It was a nice effect!
So I'll make a confession... I went and saw this a few days after it came out back in November and this post has been sat unfinished in my drafts for a while now and I can't 100% remember what I thought #SoUnprofessional.
Hope you enjoyed reading anyway!
