The reason I have made this a quick review is I actually don't have a lot to say about Mockingjay Part 1. I have feeling this is because of the way it is orchestrated. The film feels like a first part stretching out a tight plot into a full 2 hours of movie. That means that the themes and story lines at play seem to not change throughout the entire movie,and really don't get resolved by the end. That doesn't mean the cast and crew don't try their absolute best to make what is here good because it most certainly is. The shift from the brutal fights of The Hunger Games to the political chess game that is Mockingjay is refreshing. The more talky script requires the actors to really go all in with Jennifer Lawrence, Julianne Moore,and the late Philip Seymour Hoffman really standing out. The action which is mostly the people of Panem revolting is really thrilling,and quite emotional when you get down too it. But again none of these story lines are really seen through by the end of the movie leaving me quite disappointed in the fact that all of this could have been a better beginning to the tightly plotted intense war drama Mockingjay could have been. But I'll take this over anything. I give The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 a 7.5 out of 10.
