Well, here we go again... kind of, its "The Hunger Games", but no games this time around.
 If you remember from last year, Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) destroyed the games!
This is the story of the destroyed District 13 under the presidency of Alma Coin (Julianne Moore) and how she and Plutarch Heavensbee (The late Philip Seymour Hoffman) try to persuade Katniss to be their "Mockingjay" which will make her a hero and the face of rebellion for the people of District 13.
District 13 is trying to hold it own under the attack of  President Snow (Donald Sutherland) with his iron-fisted my way or the highway mentality. He continues to intimidate and wreak havoc with his citizens of The Capitol by forcing them to be subjected to his tyrannical dictatorship!
When Katniss discovers that her friend and hunger-game partner Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) has been captured by President Snow, she becomes very alarmed and wants to find him. She thought that maybe he had been killed. When Peeta is broadcast live over the airwaves, he is not acting like himself and appearing very strange, she becomes very concerned. She knows she needs to locate and rescue him.
I was not impressed with "Mockingjay". I am disappointed that they turned this third book in the "Hunger Games" installment into two parts. I think it was long, drawn out and somewhat convoluted. It felt weak and not very interesting. I think they should have just done it all at the same time and wrapped it up!
Parent be advised: There was some war violence and a disturbing execution scene. Also, some mild profanity.
I am giving "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1" two bags of popcorn.
