Mockingjay Part 1 Review

Hi!

My dad took us to see the last showing of Mockingjay part 1 a few weeks ago.

It was so good!

So I thought I would tell you guys what I thought of it.

First off, the movie theater experience wasn't nearly as fun, because when the place is full of strangers, my family doesn't laugh like Caesar Flickerman,



or do the Mockingjay whistle, or scream GALE!!!

We're much more reserved with an audience.

But the movie was still good.

My family said it wasn't as exciting as the Catching Fire movie, but it did follow the book, so the lack of excitement was simply because most of the movie took place in District 13 under ground. But the movie was no where near boring.
It's been a while since I've read the books, so I may have forgot some minute details, but all the major points were present in the movie, and the things they did change were not soul crushing, so I was very happy.

I absolutely love The Hanging Tree song that Katniss sings in the movie, and I now have it on my ipod, and am learning to play it on guitar.

For those of you who want to know about inappropriate content, there was none. No cussing. And a little itty bitty tiny kiss. That was it. If you don't like gore this movie had way more in it than the others. There was blood, there were wounded and dead people. So that might bother some people. Other than that it gets a squeaky clean report.

My love for Gale continues to grow. I just cant find fault in the guy. I'm sorry.

My dislike for Peeta remains steadfast.

My family was devastated seeing him in his hijacked form. It was pretty freaky. I applaud the makeup artist who worked on him for this movie. He looked malnourished and tortured for sure.
Finnick! I savored every moment. I kind of wished some of his *ehem* awkward lines had made it from the book into the movie, but oh well. I'll survive.

Anyway, it was a great movie, and I cannot wait for the last one to come out! Mockingjay is totally worth the watch. It must hurry and come out on DVD.
