In the buildup to the last installment, Katniss
(Jennifer Lawrence) is literally paraded by the rebel factions hidden in
District 13. Led by President Alma Coin (Julianne Moore), Katniss becomes a
thoroughly marketed symbol of hope for all the Districts breaking out in
rebellion, with the highlight being a particularly rousing speech in District 8
post the bombing of a hospital. In the backdrop plays out the impending
confrontation of Katniss with President Snow (Donald Sutherland), and the release
of her boyfriend Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) with some complicated side-effects.
Clearly a bridge-ing movie, The Hunger Games – Mockingjay – Part 1 preserves
continuity, but has little new to offer
13.5/20
