Ticket prices went up again. It was only a dime, but damn it - theaters just keep upping the prices.
Oh yeah... and I saw a movie.
Star (aka: Victim) Squad. |
I saw the second part of The Hunger Games Mockingjay.
I have a lot of opinions.
3 out of 5 stars |
Fine.
This should never have been made into two films. NEVER.
A closer look at Victim Squad. |
Bitey-Bitey's. |
This movie suffers from one other major film sin.
The long walk to inevitability. |
And I've never read the books.
I tried to... I could not stand the style they were written in. My reading enjoyment is negated by reading anything in present tense. Nothing aside from a DnD game should ever be written in present. Nothing. Sure you might think there would be an argument for present tense, but you are wrong.
I think the high point of the Hunger Games was Catching Fire... the first one might have been good too if the cinematography was not utter crap.
Oh, but you know who was good in all of the movies? Woody Harrelson.
I wanted to like Jennifer Lawrence in all of them, and she is a good actress... I just really think these movies are not the best showcase of her talents. Oh yeah, Gwendoline Christie has a small role in this movie as well. You know her as Brienne of Tarth, and soon as Captain Phasma.
If you absolutely need to finish the series off, by all means see it.
But just realize that this is not exactly a good film. The action scenes are fun. I jsut wish the whole film was good, and not just jumping from one predictable scene to the next.
President Coin. I'm sorry but that name has always been just plain awful. |
