Cinephile No. 469 "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1"

I don't know what it is about these movies, but I find them boring and bland like most people's Thanksgiving turkey. The story is without spice. The action is without surprise. The actors all seem to be somewhere else. And I get it, I am in the minority here. I haven't read the books. I don't belong to huddled mass of young adult readers, but I am a viewer of cinema. This makes me a believer that an adapted screenplay should be just as strong as the book. If these books are as powerful as everyone claims, then these three movies and more than likely the fourth edition have all missed the mark. 

 

Thanks for entering my world,
