The film makers of THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY, PART 1 must
be commended for taking the risk to divert this movie from the standard
Hollywood blockbuster formula. MOCKINGJAY, PART 1 is more akin to a political
commentary on the media's power to manipulate (compared to its fast paced
action-heavy earlier entries of the series). With no Games this time around,
there are no big action scenes but instead, the characters uses war of words,
mind games and emotional blackmail to outwit one another. Indeed it is a
valiant effort but by dividing the final book in the popular trilogy into two
separate films, this film feels incomplete and more like a set-up to something
better (hopefully, but we have to wait for a full year to find out *cough*
*studio greed* *cough*)
