Yes? Never heard of a passion project? indie movie? I'm sure Linkletter was thinking about all the money he'd make on Boyhood.
Surpised Peter Jackson hasn't decided to split Hobbit 3 into Hobbit 3art 1 and 2 yet to follow this DOGSHIT money grabbing trend.
The "best" (?) part of the movie was due to JNH (who also doesn't care to compose for these films it seems).
And my audience and I laughed pretty hard whenThere you have it.Peeta started attacking Katniss.
I found the movie pretty boring, but I also find it entirely redeemed by "The Hanging Tree" sequence. That was really well done.

Just got back, loved it. Better than Catching Fire which I adored.
Not understanding at all where all these negative reviews and comments are coming from. They needed this movie to give the world more depth. For the past two films, we've only had brief glimpses of the suffering these people have been living under.
I've only read the first 1/3 of the last book, so there came a point I'm assuming about halfway through in this movie where after that point, I had no idea what was going to happen.
I'm assuming the last movie will be mostly all-out action. Whilst that's obviously fun to watch, it does get tiring without context of why everybody is fighting and the emotional stakes. This movie was necessary to provide all that context.
Everyone was on their A-game too. Some really great performances. The "In loving memory of Philip Seymour Hoffman" at the end made me choke up too. He was fantastic in this, a much, much bigger role than in Catching Fire.
Loved it.
I like Jennifer Lawrence but that the hell happened here. Her performance was god awful, and it brought the film down quite a bit. Catching Fire reigns supreme for me.
JLaw is getting worse with each new movie, though. I think she's just angry she's tied to these long movie contracts (both HG and X-Men) and can't wait to be done with them.
Saw it this past weekend. It was ok, felt long. Peeta impressed me actually.
What's amusing is that I felt the exact opposite. That's Neogaf for you, I guess.JLaw is getting worse with each new movie, though. I think she's just angry she's tied to these long movie contracts (both HG and X-Men) and can't wait to be done with them.
Good one.will catniss show tits in this one? I mean, weve all seen them anyway by now..
This movie will be better when we have Part 2. Also the scenes with the cat, needed to be cut, it was not needed and provided nothing of value.
I have not read them to be honest, but my assumption after just looking up what the districts due and where they are located seems to be a combination of: they are relatively isolated from the rest of Panem and their focus is on nuclear power. I guess they have putting all their resources and nuclear power into weapons...honestly the book probably explains it better.Does the book explain how the resistance was able to build up such a massive cache of weaponry and build such a complex bunker system?

District 13 was Panem's military district: they are the most battle-ready of the Districts and had and continue to have contingency plans for all sorts of disasters. Its entire population has been trained in military warfare and tactics.
It's how they were able to resist the Capital all this time.
To be perfectly honest, the first half of Mockingjay relies so much on Katniss's "pain" that pretty much all characters except for Peeta, Gale and Alma step back. They barely evolve as characters.I thought the first movie was bad beyond belief.
I thought the second was pretty good and I liked it.
This one was just boring, bland, and repetitive. And pretty damn stupid. Maybe they should have the smart guy who makes arrows that can take down two fighter jets with one shot, make some real weapons with which one squad can wipe out the whole dictatorship.

I have to say it reached a really boring point so I think they actually did a pretty good job with the movie in that regard. They managed to include scenes outside of Katniss's point of view that made the movie/book more cohesive and less boring.
Trust me, the second half is where shit gets real and I'll be surprised if it doesn't keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time.
Just seems weird that the other districts don't have food, water, clothing, shelter but this district has a secret underground facility with enough weaponry to level Japan.
I absolutely cannot wait for the second movie. I'm a huge fan of the books and I loved both the first and second movie. This one dragged and unlike the others, I'm fine with not seeing this one again for a while. The others I watched multiple times.
But the other thing that I don't get is in the books,Coin is much more antagonistic to Kat but in the movie she's almost just the opposite. You don't really get that Coin hates her. The best we get is "Are you sure she's ready?"
I'm really excited for the first half of the next movie though. If the scenes in the movie get even close to matching what's in my head, it's going to be spectacular.
I don't know if they talked about it in the movie (can't remember) but District 13 was not only remote and their military area, but also, the Capital has been telling the other districts that there was no district 13. It's been "hidden" for a very long time. IIRC, the other districts thought that 13 was bombed and destroyed in the beginning of the wars for trying to fight against the Capital.
