The Hunger Games Mockingjay I
Amazingly, having watched this come up on the BBFC (or whatever it is called) frontspiece we were subjected to The Hunger Games Mockingjay II. The lights were still on too, which, in a digital cinema I found quite surprising. A bloke dashed off and on his return said "they forgot". Forgot to turn the lights off in an automated cinema? To be fair, they also had forgotten to clean the auditorium after the previous shows. I narrowly avoided sitting on a dried pizza crust.
All was well though, popcorn and nachos covered in yellow slime sat in front of us. It was a public cinema after all!
It was good, but it was long. It was excellent to have shots of key characters gazing into the distance, like we used to have in movies, before Bourne. This was the end result of turning 1.5 Films into 2. You need filler.
Obviously not as bad as the Hobbit, which I haven't watched and have no intention of doing - I read the book. The hobbit is not a three film story. The last bit of Hunger Games is not a two film story.
Loads of boring tunnel tosh. Some stuff about living in a tiger's basement. Oh some babies are bombed. Oh the sister is dead. Oh who did that?! A bit more death then some nasty stuff done to a cat. Poor kitteh - it did not deserve that! But it acted well.
Finally a picnic setting. A baby that was as large as Jennifer Lawrence, and me wondering how they got these bottle of lemonade into this ruined Victors Village. Plus, where were these kids gonig to go to school...?
