The film explores the way propaganda is used to set the stage for a conflict, and considering this is a mainstream franchise aimed primarily at young audiences, it's actually a pretty interesting take on how image matters as much as action in a media age.
With measure and muscle, Lawrences Jennifer and Francis nail the job of selling the long, twisting road towards revolution.

I was kinda worried for the first 30 minutes because of my disappointment with Catching Fire, but i'm glad that their back on the track because i really love Mockingjay - Part 1, this is what i like, a continuation of a story that is actually original and not doing the same thing again, The Hunger Games world has some of the best movie politics conflict i've ever experienced, and specifically in this one, it felt so real, so horrifying, the intensity, the atmosphere, and all the cast performance especially Jennifer Lawrence in her best performance in the franchise, it's powerful, it's exciting, never i've experience such a threat in a movie this well done, and if Catching Fire have any positive aspects in terms of the story then it was definitely the impact from it, if there is no Catching Fire there is no Mockingjay - Part 1 even though Catching Fire was a disappointment for me, anyway, overall Mockingjay - Part 1 serves an incredibly powerful storytelling that really works as a sequel, and it does at the end might possibly be one of the best movie sequel ever made for me personally and it's only half of the story, and hopefully Part 2 delivers.

Not everything in “Mockingjay” is dynamic or remarkable. Director Lawrence, working from Peter Craig and Danny Strong's screenplay, occasionally mistakes somnambulance for solemnity.
If you break the script down into plot points, it sounds a little silly: The narrative thrust is simply Katniss shooting several pro-revolution commercials. But it works because we're fascinated by media fights — thousands occur online every day.
The drama and tone are powerful and effective and Lawrence makes an exceptionally charismatic heroine, but an almost total lack of action means this is less catching fire than treading water.
The movie lumbers on some more, reiterating the obvious and relying on overfamiliar imagery. Audiences have a long year to wait for Part 2. Would it not have been better to leave them breathless than heaving a sigh?
Only in the movie business could someone sell such shoddy merchandise and expect people to buy it. If The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 1 were an appliance, it would be a broken toaster that people would toss in the garbage. Except that analogy is too kind, in that “Mockingjay” would be half a toaster.
Takes the last two and puts a spin on it that works great. The spin allows it to add more depth to the themes.

A boring, not very engaging film cluttered with under-developed characters and dodgy appearances. Wouldn't watch this again personally, but the film wasn't a total waste. There were good effects and good visual representation, as well as decent tension produced through the placement of cinematic music. But it didn't amount to anything of real significance.
This film was below par for me. Also heard that the film had a big budget - what a waste.

Slow and empty hopefully they cram part2 with lots of details left out during the whole series of films. It felt as if all parties of production and actors were set on zombie. This entry was far from Catching Fire as in flow but it did have slightly more in it. The only actor who still fits their role is Donald Sutherland that I know is because all his scenes were finished in 2 months the rest of the cast may be tired but they're getting paid a lot they should give more . Workers of the World Unite. Love Socialism vs. Capitalism novels
