In 2012, moviegoers were introduce to
The Hunger Games. The work of Suzzane Collins became an even bigger phenomenon when jumping to the silver screen. Personally, this series has done a great job as

Following the second film,
Mockingjay Part 1 centers on Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) leading the resistance against the tyrannical Capital; and in all honesty, that is pretty much how the story goes. The movie's plot is fairly straight forward and that is both good as well bad. The story to
Mockingjay Part 1 presents a lot of interesting ideas-such as how two factions present themselves during a war; and the plot features plenty of exciting moments that had me on the edge of my seat. However, there was not much to this story. The plot structure was broad and it felt like it was leading to something epic; only for this moment to never come. These issues could be rectified in a year's time, but because of its narrow plot,
Mockingjay Part 1 was indeed missing something.
