Hunger Games Mockingjay - Part 1

I couldn’t wait to see this latest Hunger Games film.  It stars the beautiful Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss and Josh Hutcherson as Peeta.  In this movie, Katniss awakes in a hospital bed after being saved in the previous movie by Plutarch Heavensbee  who was played by the late Philip Seymour Hoffman.  Peeta, however is residing in the Capital and is under the control of President Snow who was played by Donald Sutherland.  

Katniss is living in District 13 which had been believed to be totally destroyed in the last uprising.  She is being asked by District 13’s President Coin (Julianne Moore) to be the face of the latest uprising to gain their freedom from the Capital.   Peeta is constantly shown on the Capital’s TV station trying to quell the revolution that is beginning in all of the districts. 

I thought this film was the best of the three Hunger Games movies and I cannot wait for the final edition.  I thought that Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson were tremendous in their performances.  Jennifer Lawrence had several instances where she had to sing and she nailed it.  Her voice was beautiful.   The other members of the cast, which again included Woody Harrelson as Haymitch and Liam Hemsworth as Gale, were so good as well that you will want to see this movie again and again.  I gave this movie 4 out of 4 stars.  I truly enjoyed it and I think you will as well.
