The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1 (2014)

IMDB: "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1"

You have no clue how exciting I was to see this movie! The movie is a bit slow sometimes, but it's part 1 of 2, so it's sort of like Harry Potters 7th movie - real slow, but building up to something mindblowingly awesome! (I hope..)

Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) in the middle and a whole bunch of new characters we meet in this film. Gotta say that I'm a little disappointed about Natalie Dormers character Cressida. On the poster she looks totally badass.. but in the movie she is a director?? Since I haven't read the books (yet), I was imagining she was some sort of a G.I. Jane type (since she's standing with a massive machine gun in her hands on the poster..). Elden Henson is also a part of the film-crew, such a cutie. I haven't seen him since "The Butterfly Effect", so that was kinda fun!

The Hunger Games is over, and during the last Hunger Games where the best of the best had to fight each other, Katniss "got kidnappet" and rescued and the last thing we got to know was that District 12 was no more.

Peeta (Hutcherson) is gone, Gale (Hemsworth) is back, President Snow (Sutherland) is a bastard and Katniss is pissed! This movie is about Katniss having to be "The Mockingjay" for all the districts that are left and will fight for her. She will be the face of hope and all that is good - the absolute opposite of President Snow who wants to kill everyone. Because violence solves everything, right? 

Katniss and her family is gathered in District 13 together with President Alma Coin (Moore), Plutarch Heavensbee (Hoffman) and Haymitch (Harrelson) and now they have to come up with a plan to rescue Peeta who's in Snows captivity and how to end this war. But as the season of his name, he won't melt that easily.

Plutarch and President Alma Coin trying to wrap their head around how to stop this war that is on its way!

Even though I'm sad that Philip Seymour Hoffman died this year, I'm happy that he got to film the rest of this film. He was a great actor. Rest in peace.
