Mockingjay (Part 1)

Part 1 of a two-part store from a trilogy of films. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay: Part 1.

Often depicted as the weakest book in Suzanne Collins' trilogy; Mockingjay is very much different from the previous two, it is a more political film with the antagonistic element of the games being replaced with propaganda and uprising.

The central theme of the film is the aspect of propaganda with the film's heroin, Katniss Everdeeen  being the poster girl for the rebellion. If the two previous films were considered 'too similar' to some, then this film is a complete turn in direction. Although it is not as entertaining, mainly because the film does not focus of the Hunger Games, instead upon the politics, the imprisonment of the other Hunger Game survivors and the weak love triangle.

Jennifer Lawerence is amazing as ever, and in this film we again see her amazing acting range.

Overall, the film is good and enjoyable, but it does miss the action from the previous two.
