Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence), is rescued by the rebels and brought to District 13 after she shatters the Hunger Games forever. Under the leadership of President Coin (Julianne Moore) and Plutarch Heavensbee (Philip Seymour Hoffman), Katniss spreads her wings and becomes Mockingjay, the symbolic leader of the rebellion. But President Snow has his own plans for her—and her loved ones.

I thought this movie was incredible!! The way they presented this movie was amazing. The acting was so good and I loved The Hanging Tree. Jennifer Lawrence's singing was great and so was her acting. But sadly I heard that a couple weeks ago iTunes allowed people to rent Mockingjay Part 1 for a few hours!!!!!😡😡 I really wish I knew about it!!! This movie deserves 5 stars and if u haven't seen it it is so worth it!!

Amazing

If you are one of the people who didn’t like this movie read the books and if you think it is long and boring and if you apparently fell asleep almost 3 times then you are probably just to immature for this movie or you just don’t get the struggles that the victors go through. They did an amazing job on Peeta’s makeup it really had an amazing effect

Still good!

I love the other three hunger game movies! But I’m wondering what in the heck happened with this movie. There’s like no action (except for katniss shooting down a couple airplanes with her bow and Arrow). It’s pretty much just a boring drama. I usually like dramas but when I watched this movie I was expecting at least sum action. Great disappointment!

“The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1” is the first of the series’s two part finale and takes on a much darker tone than the previous films. Because of this darker tone, some critics have complained that the movie is drab, depressing or boring but you have to remember that there are no games this time around. Instead of the usual action and excitement, this film focuses more on emotion and character development; it is intense in a different way. It allows us to fully digest the events in the series so far and the aftermath that follows. The acting is incredible as always. Some might feel cheated and unhappy with the ending, but keep in mind that again, this is only the first of two parts. I actually feel that the split was essential because it allows for two fully fleshed out movies instead of one overstuffed movie. Overall, this is an amazing movie and a great setup for the finale that is to come.

A Different Kind of Games

The odds are clearly not in Katniss Everdeen’s (Jennifer Lawrence) favor: her sister was reaped for the Hunger Games, so she volunteered to keep her safe. She made the Capitol look stupid with the help of Peeta (Josh Hutcherson), and while she tried to tend to the flame, she couldn’t quell it, and so, the fire of rebellion caught and burned brightest. Now, the flame is settling, and seems poised to die down. After seeing Katniss hiding from District 13 officials in some random pipe room, continuing Jennifer Lawrence’s fine and tasteful PTSD performances, we see her settling into her new role as the mockingjay when Commander Boggs (Mahershala Ali) escorts her to a meeting with Plutarch Heavensbee (Philip Seymour Hoffman) and President Alma Coin (Julianne Moore), who try persuading her to be the mockingjay for them. What follows is a story of war and propaganda that was all there in the book, but is the focus of this movie that covers the first 45% (rough estimate) of the book, and while it works out mostly, there is a serious pacing issue (this series seems to just have so many of these), which may or may not have anything to do with the splitting of the book into two parts: it takes 50 minutes to truly start, though they still have some dark action in the form of President Snow (Donald Sutherland) commentating over public executions in two of the districts where rebels (or as he calls it to avoid legitimizing them “radicals”) whose faces are covered (my guess to avoid humanizing them in the eyes of the undecided). We don’t see Katniss in action until 50 minutes in, but then she goes back to being a person who’s ruined. She gets her act together and does a propaganda shoot in District 12, then the rest of the movie happens, and if you read the book, I think my 45% estimate of how far in the story they get will inform you of that. What really hurts the pacing in my book is that a cliffhanger would have been more exciting than what they did. Something those who haven’t read the books would appreciate to maintain interest, while letting us readers/audiobook listeners feel they made good effort to split it up. Otherwise, everything they put/did on screen was for a reason, to advance what little plot-from-the-book they used. Katniss’ journey continues to entertain and her drive to protect those she loves and to do what she “never asked for.” The picture and effects are great, and District 13 is perfectly established as militaristic and efficient, from the dull grey clothes everyone (even the president) wears to the dull scenery, especially when you compare it to the Capitol’s lavish scenery, colorful outfits, and bright, colorful scenery. James Newton Howard once again brings a great soundtrack conveying the appropriate emotions, and it’s used appropriately, whether the only sounds we hear at the beginning are ambience and dialogue, or the blaring soundtrack over big action (One scene towards the end really benefits from seemingly dead silence). We get some good comic relief in Katniss’ first attempts at being the mockingjay on a soundstage, and Haymitch (Woody Harrelson) brings the usual sarcasm and brutal honesty of his character to the meeting table to keep things interesting. The odds were clearly not in Lionsgate’s favor to split Mockingjay into two movies, but it can still be saved by quality effects and a camera that only shakes when it’s truly necessary. A fine film about war and propaganda dragged down by horrible pacing that makes us wish it took over an hour to get to the titular event.

It's absolutely amazing

In this movie you see and feel how the character from the first two movie have developed into these amazing characters. This movie is not like the other two where you get to see the capitol glory and all it's amazing thing or that you get to see what happens in the ordinary dar of district twelve.
No this essential part of the movie is where everything in Katniss's breaks down into billions of sharp pieces. This story isn't about happiness and glory. No it's an emotional roller coasters.
You can see as these amazing strong characters slowly break down into these scared vulnerable selfs, and that's the most amazing part.
You see the authenticity on the characters and how they are actually real people trying their hardest to keep on living. It bring a whole new emotional status to the table and that's what makes it absolutely amazing!

This is the absolute best!

After reading the first book, my breath was tooken away. This series is nearly the best I've possibly read. I usually don't want to read anything about fighting, but this was not just about fighting. It was also about being mature and strong and to appreciate what you have. Suzanne Collins really exceeded the expectations in these books. Plus, this is coming from an eleven year old. Great job!!!

Mockingjay Part 1 is probably the weakest of the series, but that doesn't mean it's not worth seeing. This film might not have much action but it still has enough. But action isn't what this film is about, not even in the slightest. This is about how war begins and how people have to deal with emotions during the time. A really good character study. If you love the hunger games you will enjoy this and if you don't you should still find it worth your time.

It was ok too

It was not the best for three reasons 1. Katniss and peeta had to seperate from each other till the very end. 2. Jennifer Lawrence's acting was quite bad in this movie then in Catching Fire. 3. I really liked how Katniss and peeta loved each other so much in Catching Fire and sticked together but they didn't in Mockingjay so that's what I don't like about this movie.

A slow follow up to a pretty good series

I started reading the first book, and couldn’t make it past page 150. This is my first movie of the series, and have to say I am not getting the vibe at all.
OK, it was cool when she shoots down the jet plane with the arrow, but then the movie is all about Catness moving from local to local getting blindsided by news of various sorts that has us getting the full portfolio of this performers take on what it means to be given upsetting news. The only thing I would be interested in seeing more of after seeing this movie is Natalie Dormer with that Viking hair cut and awesome tattoo. Wonder how far it goes down around her body do you think?, Ahem, anyway, For a .99 cent rental, the price was right. Otherwise, I am not too sure If I would invest in this one.

A great mix of action, emotion and more of the series's dark themes involving government. Great performances especially from Jennifer Lawrence. I know most people like catching fire the most of the hunger games movies. I like this one the most. A major part of that is the scene where they infiltrate the Capitol to rescue peeta. Such an intense scene on par with the compound raid in zero dark thirty

Spoiler Alert:
So yeah, I really wish it hadn't been divided into two movies. But, I do think that this part of the Hunger Games story does put a really interesting take on the concept of the revolutiony. I really liked the movie, but of course it feels incomplete because it basically stops mid-plot. That isn't to say that there isn't any plot development or character development thus far. As the revolution ramps up, Katniss starts to see the price of revolution in a way that she hadn't seen before and it takes a tremendous toll on her, not only becuase she is a kind hearted person but also because she has the weight of everyone's hopes on her shoulders. Meanwhile, she has to deal with possibly losing the man she loves to insantity brought on by conditioning and torture. Those themes alone are powerful and this movie delivers them well. What bothers everyone, including me, is that you only get to see part of what is potentially a really powerful story brought to life. But once the second part comes out, that opinion may change.

I think that the film would have been better as a single stand alone film. I don't think it was necessary to break the film into two parts because the book is not that long. Most of the Harry Potter films were single stand alone films despite being based on lengthy books.
The film ended abruptly and it's not right that we have to wait until November to see the conclusion.

Its unbelievable that adults don't understand that the Hunger Game movie establishes separate parts. They will earn more money if they leave a cliff hanger wanting everyone to see the next part. Also what I find strange is that people are saying it has no excitement or action if you watched the other movies and paid attention this movie was fantastic. It represented the books incredibly and the other two movies. Sad that a twelve year old has to tell you that.

Katniss is way out of character and spends a lot of the movie crying and whining. Very boring. She obsesses over Peta the whole time, never mind the fact her whole district got blown up. She refuses to fight unless they save Peta first. The president, played by Julianne Moore, is well acted but poorly written.

I really liked the first two movies in this series. This one is just utter garbage. The first hour is "should she make this commercial or not..oh gee...what to do...it's so intense a decision!".....then she makes the commercial and all the other revolutionaries suddently are ready to die because she shot 1 plane down with a single arrow that the entire revolution already had (apparently, she is the only one that can shoot a bow even though they had all these fancy arrows and rooms and rooms full of missiles, nukes, bombers, etc but it was just too difficult decision as to should they use them or not...if only we had a vapid 19 year old girl to tell us how what to do! please!

Clearly, the viewers love it… Why? Virtually nothing happens in this movie. There is no advancement of the plot and no real character development. If you enjoy 2 hours of Jennifer Lawrence’s intermittent “screech crying” followed by her pondering life while thoughtfully gazing upward, then this is the film for you. Otherwise, it is silly filler... although it would make a good Subway commercial- “Oh Peta, bring back Peta!"

Hmm, I've seen this movie and I don't really like it as much as I liked the others, (1&2). This movie doesn't really have a plot, they're basically just doing nothing. Hopefully part 2 will be a lot better and filled with great action, something this one didn't have, well at least not as much action as the others.😕 I'm not hating, and I'm a huge fan it's just not very entertaining without all the action.

The writers should not have split the last book into 2 movies. It’s obvious it was a move to make extra money and that is sad. Due to that, this movie suffered.

The worst of the series

This movie is filled with unnecessary information that makes it feel hours long in the worst possible way. A lot of the action scenes were talked about, but never actually seen. I almost fell asleep on multiple occasions and when the lights in the theater turned on you could hear the disappointment from the crowd. This movie was nothing more then a money pit. I hope part 2 gives the series the justice it deserves.

great movie

This movie is a very great movie. Yes, it is shorter than the past ones but if you are a true fan of the series than you will love it. The characters have changed and when you watch it you will be able to notice it very quickly. Im proud to give this movie 5 stars becuase it is a spectacular movie. I can't wait to see part 2.

1/2 movie extended into 1.

I feel like everything was just being put off from happening just to make it longer. Everything that happened in the movie could've happened in half the time they took to show it, so really they shouldn't have split it into two parts.

Have You Read the Books??

To those who complain that this is a darker, disturbing, horribly long, boring film, I must ask: did you read the books at all? If you had, you would know that that is exactly the feel of the book - including the "boring". This is about a war, people. This isn't the same film where Katniss and Peeta are enveloped by the Capitol and it's influence. It's not glamorous or happy. It's dark and real and raw - just like war. To those complaining about the film being boring or too dark, then you miss what, not just this film, but the entire series is trying to tell you. And if you can't figure that out, then go back with the perspective of being in the districts and then perhaps you can understand why Mockingjay is as dark as it is.

Good not great

This was a decent movie for a part 1 movie, but it was lacking something. It does a good job of making you want to watch the second part. I would give it 3.5/5, but you can't do that on iTunes and I will raise it to 4/5 because the acting was excellent.

As a book reader, I could not be happier. Direct quotes, phenomenal acting, great special effects, gripping story line, what more could you ask for? Quite possibly one of my favorite hunger games movies yet.

THE WORST "HUNGER GAMES" MOVIE YET

I didn't care much for the first film, but I thought Catching Fire was amazing. So I had high hopes that Mockingjay pt 1 would be just as good if not better, but this movie was so bad. It was boring, slow paced and felt dragged out. There was no excitement or emotion, just strategy. Even visually this movie looked like crap it was just grey and gloomy and the special effect were terrible. I feel like the creators and studio knew they would make twice the amount of money if they split the movie in two parts. They really should have just made one 3 hour long film for Mockingjay that would have been the better way to go. Overall I feel like this movie was just a cash grab. There was no effort put into making this film. I didn't enjoy it and I barely remember it if tho I watched less than 24 hours ago it's just very forgettable 4/10

Awesome

A+ acting on Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson's parts. Very raw and you could feel the emotion vibrate under your skin. They took many small details from the book and stuck them in there brilliantly, along with explaining the things they left unmentioned in the previous movies(for those who hadn't read the books). They also brilliantly portrayed deceased actor Philip Seymour Hoffman's character (Plutarch Heavensbee) brilliantly in this movie. The movie was a bit long, two and a half hours atleast, and there were quiet, boring parts that made me yawn, but all in all, it was brilliant. Out of the three movies now out, I would say it ties in first place with Catching Fire for being the most popular. Francis Lawrence is doing a fabulous job. Can't wait for part 2

Breathtaking

The acting is just incredible! The way Jen portrayed herself as a mentally unstable person, just amazing. This movie will keep you on the edge of your seat and will definitely leave you wanting more.

Phenomenal!!

By far the best Hunger Games movie yet! It had the darker tones, which was expected for those who read the books. It's a huge bummer the way movie ended, but by having the movie split into two parts, the movie will have a chance to be more faithful to the book. So it'll be worth it in a year's time.
Check it out for those who haven't seen it yet!!

Best hunger games yet!!! ❤️❤️❤️

The ending of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, which I watched numerous times since its release, last year, have kept me waiting eagerly for this follow-up and I can tell you that I watched it two times in a row because I was mesmerized by it.
However, If you’re gonna watch this expecting high-tech, crazy fashion, beautiful buildings and breathtaking scenery along the lines of the arenas, the capitol and the general look of of the first two movies, you won’t find this here. Yet if you loved the characters and how their personality is developed and you care about the general story, you’ll feel totally immersed and impressed by it.
The movie unfolds in a different way. You’ll notice that a lot of characters from the main cast have changed in a noticeable way. From arrogant to kind, from superficial to deep and from hero to villain. The visual and the scenery of the movie are all different from the past ones, yet as I said, as long as the story is your main focus, you will enjoy it greatly.
You also need to remember that this movie is the first part and the next one is coming next year, so you will certainly feel that the ending is sort of unsatisfactory or gives you the feeling that you’re watching a T.V. series. Yet if you watch the movie itself with an open heart and the will to watch the story unfold the way it’s meant to be rather than just trying to copy the past movies, you will truly feel the beautiful taste that the writer, the director and the actors intended to deliver to us.
There are so many moments that brought tears to my eyes. Moments of heroism and bravery, moments of sorrow and victory. The acting is nothing short of impressive. The suspense will keep you at the edge of your seat throughout most of the film.
If I’m to give one disadvantage about the movie, it’s the length. The movie is a bit short compared to it’s marvelous predecessors and the length of the past two was one of the main factors of their success and beauty cause they give you enough time to enjoy and be immersed into the world.
However, the experience all in all was extremely satisfactory that I watched it twice in a row and went straight away to iTunes to pre-order and review it, and the moment the movie ended, I thought “Oh my God, 365 days left for the sequel! can someone create a time travel device?”.

Perfect!!

Yes, this one was slower than the other ones but the dark tone matched the book so well! Fans of the book will really appreciate this one cause the split allows them to include all the small things that normally would have been cut out. The acting and character development was perfect! Now I need part 2 :)

This movie!
