Hello!!
Apologises for been away so long but I am back and raring to go. So without further ado lets get on with it shall we.
So just after Christmas I went to see the long awaited Mockingjay Part 1. I was uncertain as to how it was going to be. After reading the books the 3rd was by far the hardest to get into as it went from people been in the hunger games to be a lot more politically orientated. But the film did not disappoint. It kept you entertained and it didn't feel drawn out.
Although Jennifer Lawrence ( Katniss) sometimes comes across as a bit of a wooden actress, it didn't make her performance any less as enjoying to watch as she goes through many emotions throughout the film. There are some brilliant performances from on going people such as, Josh Hutcherson ( Peeta), Woody Harrelson ( Haymitch), Donald Sutherland ( President Snow), Elizabeth Banks ( Effie) and of course the late Philip Seymour Hoffman ( Pultarch). There has also been some very good performances from new comers to the franchise such as Julianne Moore ( President Alma Coin) and Natalie Dormer ( Cressida) whom you may know from the big hit Game of Thrones, in which she plays Margaery Tyrell.
There is one very small thing that annoy me with in the film. That I'm sure most of you will think is so minor that it isn't worth mentioning, but never the less I will anyway. That thing is Prim's cat changes colour. I know it is silly for me to even let such a thing get to me but it really does. I am sorry Francis Lawrence ( Director) but if you are going to use a different cat at least keep it the same colour and breed as the previous one. Just because there is a big gap between when the films come out does not mean you should loose attention to detail. Even though it is set in a time when they have very advanced technology, I'm sure they would not change a cat from black and white to ginger and change the breed at the same time!
Anyway now I have had my little rant about the cat I will wrap this up. If you liked the previous films you won't be disappointed with this addition. It is well written, well preformed and packed with action.
I give this film 4/5
