Judgment on Jennifer Lawrence The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1

The reviews are in and it seems that the chances are greatly in favor of the Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1, the latest installment in the franchise The Hunger Games, which show for the first time in London overnight. Complex online Rotten Tomatoes film review contains a proportion of 90 percent approval, but a closer look suggests more comments from a mixed review. Most say it's elegant, moving and rave about stars Jennifer Lawrence, but many of the reviewers also lament the disappointment for not acting purely commercial and choose to stretch Susan Collins latest book into two films.

Kevin Harley, Total Film "with the size and muscle, and Jennifer Lawrence Francis and nails function long since been sold, and the twisting road to revolution." Kate Muir, The Times: "We can forgive the public for feeling overstuffed, including bulimia, in the last book of Collins and spanned more than two decades of the consequences, but this electromagnetic Lawrence will be minimized on the screen it is represented that can be done two hours. faffing about completely convincing in the dark." Charlotte Sullivan, Evening Standard: "aged 11 years, who accompanied me to the third installment (and before the last) in the dystopian sci-fi series based on the novels by Suzanne Collins, you're competing with excitement as he left the cinema." Alonso Duralde, The Wrap: "Even if Mockingjay, Part 1 leaves us wanting more, and not just two hours of accumulation to think of it as an amuse bouche of course the culmination of which achieves satisfactory in itself . Catheter Clark deadline: "cut through the last book of the trilogy in two, and the second for another film to be more resistant than drama - ATM episode in which everyone knows is just a teaser for the coming years Epic Y. fire while standing certainly takes work Mockingjay Part 1 deeper and darker. any darker than that will take Prozac with popcorn or provide advice to the old 13-year-old shock."

Todd McCarthy, The Hollywood Reporter: "In the first half of the final installment of the Hunger nice disappointing games and unnecessarily prolonged and swollen ... covered trailer for the film is yet to come." On the fence Helen O'Hara, Empire magazine: "The drama and the tone and strong, effective and makes Lawrence very charming heroine, but the almost complete absence of action means that less of the arrest of fire floating in the water." Robbie Collin, Telegraph: "Every line, and there is a roller coaster ... Panem remains one of the most spectacular landscapes of the imagination, clearly realized in the last movie, so it's a shame most Mockingjay - Part 1 occurs about 300 feet under it." Brian Viner, and the Daily Mail: "The tendency to split the last movie in the series (see also The Twilight Saga) has less to do with the narrators indulge our appetite for delayed gratification and more to do with the executives rich. .. Contained almost breathing look for the second part, within a year. But I will not have to. " Justin Chang, Variety "Conclusion of a two-part series begins in solid form, which sucks if not exactly inspired fashion." At the same time, it was revealed that Lawrence sings - reluctantly - in the path through the rock Lumineers people in the film. The director Francis Lawrence Lawrence Radio Times, "cried a little" in the morning before he was scheduled to sing because it is "sensitive" to sing for him. "But he did not do and it's a wonderful thing to do and do it every day - - and she hated him for making me do that every day," he said.

However, Lawrence admitted he had no idea whether Lawrence will be able to get the performance. "I was worried, and I really thought we were going to do a lot of change in tone, but it sounded great," he said.

 

Katniss Everdeen becomes the face of the revolution in "Mockingjay - Part 1," an episode of the difficult transition from "The Hunger Games" Bloodsports privilege to leave the reality TV of the first two films to mind one, with the increase in the intensity of the vision of the outbreak of war austerity. Ringing accuracy, and sometimes very impressive and unsatisfactory to some extent by design, this series before the last entry is the public and media uprising story manipulation itself reveal any hint of rebellious streak and novels spirit sabotage by Suzanne Collins, "warned the risk of giving the public exactly what you want to see, but at this time, and the forces behind this commercial property dramatically is not about to run the risk of doing the opposite. it is a strategy that was not inspired by exactly reasonable, and Jennifer Lawrence's performance again and internal director Francis Lawrence (relationship) is not dutifully repeating elements inherently cinematic story, and plans to Lionsgate Bo global dominance and confident look.

For the millions who devoured the bestselling trilogy and look forward to this film with enthusiasm excessive equal to the most rabid "Harry Potter" and lovers of "Twilight" (which was also to see their beloved franchises end up in one of two maddening note part), the only real source of suspense here lies the question determining exactly where the story and the division of Collins in two. Rest assured, the decision was wise Slimani almost, given enough to maintain a relatively incident set two settings until semi-stiff expire, leaving several large orders come in "Part 2" (due out November 25, 2015), along with the face of an epic supposed. The audience who comes to this film without the prior knowledge of the subject, however, may feel diminished appetite and patience to work a little dirty. After the wonderful presentation-tinted Battle Royale than its predecessors, "Mockingjay," reveals a change in the darkening mood, color palette and focus as it comes decisively sand and burrows underground literally.

After shooting the arrow killer who brought the case to the Hunger Games end is noisy in the "catching fire" Katniss (Lawrence) was rescued and transported to the ultra-secret of area 13, and a large underground gray hideout suppress walls neighborhood, home to a growing movement of bending at the intersection of other parts of the Panem and the overthrow of the totalitarian Capitol and President Snow (Donald Sutherland, fantastic threat than ever before). Rebel leader is a tremendous willingness President Quinn (Julianne Moore, who seems to have taken advice from Meryl Streep in Hairdressing. "Grantor"), which calls for Katniss officially accept the role as the Mockingjay, rebellion to shoot with feathers. My. As developed by social media currencies savvy Plutarch Heavensbee (Philip Seymour Hoffman, in a second appearance on another) big screen, is sent Katniss to the war zone to star in a series of propaganda videos or "propos" videos designed to go viral (or as close as equivalent Panem) and the revival of the Revolution fire across the country.

As is always the case, and unspecified complications arise derivatives romantic feelings toward the noble hero, and I am dedicated beta (Josh Hutcherson), his teammate twice in the public's interest in games and love. Now held in the Capitol, and jog beta regularly on television to be interviewed by Caesar Flickerman smarmy (Stanley Tucci, looking more and more like the evil twin of Regis Philbin), where, under duress, which urges Katniss to suppress the uprising. Clearly, snow and trying to end his regime Mockingjay hanging his pet reluctant to face the camera. To the chagrin of his companion understood for a long time, Gale (Liam Hemsworth), who joined the battle boldly against the Capitol, Katniss seems to be more invested in the safety of beta than anything else, including the success of their cause.

Like the novel, the script (written by newcomers privilege Peter Craig and Danny Strong) combines deftly elements of political combat excitement film satire and media, weaving a dense network of change alliances and secret plots, power games are always complex entanglements of love and war Guest horizon and. It helps that some of the narrative Collins devices, including his critique in the temptations of fame overnight and the uses and abuses of research television advertising, is naturally suitable to the screen - a fact that director Lawrence DP "catching fire" Joe Williams, took advantage of a cunning effect. Sequence of early Katniss stumble during the remaining period of his hometown in 12 regions, which forces the snow to rubble after escaping from the sand. It is an image of the bombing and terror skull plagued Vereschagin worthy of "glorification of war" and other visions of hell on earth.

Fortunately, they are not welcome if I went to the fleeting moments of humor as well, most of them courtesy temporarily mentor sober of Katniss, Haymitch (Woody Harrelson), and once the accompanying colorful, and now simply dressed, Effie Ornament (Elizabeth Banks), and expanding the role here the departure of the most important film of the novel. His attempts to convert the principle of a rigid, camera shy in Katniss Girl poster rebellion provide some light entertainment, even realize that this Haymitch Sinsajo are not trained to perform on cue: It is only after you see bombed a crowded Capitol area planes 8 guilt hospital and destroy Katniss motivate you in a moment of anger articulated real. "If we burn, you burn with us," says his enemies in no uncertain terms, coined what would become the slogan of the revolution, as in the case of a dramatic upset, effective sweeping sequences from other regions until and causing damage to priceless Capitol.

Those outbreaks brief work - including a daring mission to rescue technology beta and other greeting en stay suppression Capitol - bring some excitement thrill to the story that works otherwise in the claustrophobic record pessimistic, held pallor relentless Willems "images underlit studiously and production designer joint purely side functional Philip Messina area 13 for the first two films riotous colors and fashion thumping go. duo Kurt Bart manages more restrictive fashion rights this time, design, contribution key is elegant, anti-black outfit Katniss to wear for her appearance like Mockingjay. even threads usual composer James Newton Howard to take a back seat to the song Katniss sings unforgettable childhood in the middle of the movie. It was not long before his allies and the buzz on the same tune, and walking in the snow rule.

In short, all the talent involved seems to be calculated important resources in a dangerous geopolitical conflict increasingly sad and thinking service, and full of the aspects of topical similarities (attacks by long-range missiles, and the deliberate targeting of refugees image civilians) that cut even closer to home may be intended filmmakers - not more so than it was when Snow currents orders of public executions in each region, and heads covered with black hoods on the damned. But while the filmmaker Lawrence trackers continuous absorption rate, and increase the tone of the exciting and the stakes of the story, the negative side of their faithfulness to the novel Collins (writer even gets the "adjustment" of credit this time) is that the film did not shake was for those who pre-book feel strong and stable, and safe, or an unfortunate tendency to explain what is clear. (When it sends beta Katniss warning unambiguous, says someone kindly. "That was a warning.") Despite his intelligence and clear ideas provocative to say the least, "imitator Bird" does not appear on the confidence of the public as well as the trust clearly the heroine of him.

If Katniss intermittently stays only at ease with his fame, Jennifer Lawrence itself feels like more than ever, a natural product. Although it is less to do in front of the work (which is called only one share, and it's for the doozy), still Katniss in the most pressing of this scene the human machine miserable, even when the number of people suffering from psychological stress shriekier performance in more desperate than ever before emotional record. Some of that duty is not only to the feelings of Katniss beta, but also expressed concern for the loving but weak-willed mother (Paula Malcomson) and especially her younger sister, wallets (Willow Shields, more prominent here than in the previous films), the emotional basis for future events mode.

Jena Malone him blink, and miss LP, was the emergence of a fighter fierce Johanna Mason, while Sam Claflin wonderful entry in the "on fire" scene Katniss handsome ally "Finnick Odair, anger his charisma diabolical here to reveal the nature of the injuries, side vulnerable, even if they were confused sequence that reveals the revelation in amazement through the occasional excessive (perhaps the screen better) division of labor approach. remain Hutcherson and HEMSWORTH in excellent relations fine; British actress Natalie large protruding, in addition to representatives as Katniss director propo shrewd, Cressida. old stalwarts in the cast by - including Hoffman, Harrelson, Banks, Tucci, Sutherland and Jeffrey Wright (as artistic genius Beetee latier) - once again put a crucial barometer of adult authority in the process now.

In this sense, the currency Moore does not stand out as surprising MVP University, his intelligence and steel on the occasion of the meaning of it one more manifestation of the policy of equality and refreshing movie franchise cleverly encourages us not judge her or his subordinates for the justice of their cause and clear. That the power can only be corrupt are among the most effective Collins issues (hinted here shooting on march 13, which can not but arouse "Triumph of the Will" Province), but is likely to be explored more - and ideally deeply with more freedom - when "Mockingjay - Part 2" arrives this time next year.
