My Review of Hungergames Mockingjay part 1 : An Emotional Roller coaster

Going to watch a movie which is the adaptation of a Novel you are already a hardcore fan of is exciting and what if that movie exceeds your expectations? Well that's what happened in the case of Mockingjay part 1....

                     In the beginning we find our katniss Everdeen(Jennifer Lawrence) suffering from the post traumatic stress disorder as a result of her previous encounters in the arena.. Reluctant to become the mockingjay, the symbol of rebellion.  Movie starts in a very slow pace which will make us wonder whether it will deliver what we are expecting... But actually the movie delivers what we are expecting and some more..
               
                     All our doubts will disappear once katniss decides to become the Mockingjay.The scenes in which her prep team including cressida teaches her scripted lines for propos (propaganda videos) are amusing. Gale stands out as the character which have a strong screen presence in the movie.  With his "camera ready" face Liam Hemsworth delivers exactly what we expect from the Gale.. Muscle and Aggression and determination to stand for justice. ..

                 But it is Jennifer Lawrence who carries the movie in her shoulders. .The Academy Award winning actress once again proves why she got the Oscar in such a young age. .. she weeps.. turns bold .. and shouts out at president Snow .."if we burn you burn with us" .. mourns for peeta.. and shoots down a hovercraft with her arrows in a thrilling set piece

              The most intriguing scene of the movie was saved for the last. It is when Gale and guys save peeta in pitch black night.. and we see peeta in Skin and bones (thanks to the special effects guya who slimmed him down  ) I bet even the most brave Hungergames fans will find their mouth in their hands in that terrific scene where peeta crushes katniss's neck with his hands by pinning her down on the ground and her eyes bulging out in crimson red...
              
                      This is the kind of movie which will stay in our heads even after we leave the cinema hall for a long time. . Another solid chapter in the famous Hungergames franchise .Hold your breath on that mind blowing sequence where rebels from the District 5 blows the dam at night inspired by the song of katniss "The Hanging Tree". . But in the end I left the cinema with a sad face.. because I have to wait another whole year to see the spectacular conclusion of the Hungergames series!!! :)
