Title: Mockingjay
Review –well- this is not a great movie. Some people feel it’s just a bridge to the final installment…making us wait another year. The dialog is rather basic, they go for all the possible clichés and the story seems drawn out. That said, it was still a pretty exciting movie. Lawrence is luminous and Hoffman, Banks, Tucci and Sutherland are really perfect for their roles. It also feature a who’s who of character actors you can see on the best HBO, Showtime and Netflix shows…and they’re all quite good- it’s worth seeing on the big screen as an event…maybe less so as a work of film art. Ergo the mixed rating. Needs more Woody Harrelson…
