WOW! The film picks up where 'Catching Fire' left off. The cinematography is excellent. If you know the story- then you will know that this is the build up for the final show down. However unlike other series where the 'Part 1' is forgettable, this is brilliant. You learn more about not only the characters, but the world they in and why they react the way they do. You learn more about the not-so-perfect Capitol. I am not going to say anything about the story - spoilers! This is a well made film that does the Hunger Games trilogy proud.

I like the movie

I loved the books but like many I uncertain it was right to divide this movie into two because this left the first one feeling slow and unsatisfying because of an incomplete story arc. That said it was gripping. The acting was excellent and the cinematography good and it really built the tension and atmosphere of the hunger games fantasy dystopia and the coming war. However despite the book being first person narrated and therefore very close to Katniss I felt this movie was quite distant from Katniss. We see her upset and traumatised and not much else. At first when I considered what what wrong I thought maybe the acting had been a bit cold from Lawrence but I realised it wasn't the acting. It was just a script that focusses so much on the rebellion and capitol's reign of destruction that the characters get left behind. In particular I felt nothing for Peeta or Gale on this installment because they were so sidelined. Overall the movie is very good and emotionally powerful but the characters I had grown to love in the first two were not so easy to like and relate to in this film. I felt it wasn't really Katniss' story anymore, that despite her being the pivotal Mockingjay figure she was somehow irrelevant. I'm hoping the next one will return to the greatness of the characters we know and do justice to the book which was phenomenal.

I absolutely loved the whole series of the hunger games. All the other films in the series is on Sky at the moment which is where I first saw them but as I got more into it I had to watch it in order so I purchased the missing film of the franchise and I must say I certainly wasn’t disappointed

Wow this was a great film - there were tears (mine!) and joy along the way... not going to include mass spoilers but I would definitely recommend this film, but make sure you've watched the first 2 installments recently! I watched the 2nd one again just before putting this on as there were a few bits I couldn't recall and it was definitely worth the extra time doing that to get the continuity.

So popular and there is a reason for that it is fantastic - great for all the family - great entertainment and what is more no one swears all the way through it - see it is possible!! So much more entertaining and great for all viewers and still fab plot and film all round.

Worth watching
