Mockingjay was ok - a decent close to a well cast franchise. Really, it's all about J-Law and her tremendous screen presence. She gets to give heroic speeches, shoot arrows and wear a cool superhero catsuit, so it's all good. The Hunger Games premise gets rather silly, as the rebels led by J-Law/Katniss enter the city which is riddled with spectacular booby traps. But they all have that AdamWest/Batman factor - remember how each episode of Batman left him and the boy wonder in some perilous cliffhanger? If the villains just killed Batman instead of doing some goofy torture kill, it would have been done. In that same way, if the city just had bombs for booby traps, it would be Hunger Game over. Anyway, best not to dwell on details with YA fantasies, right? I wouldn't recommend this to any of you as none of you are really following this franchise and there's no real need to invest in it now.
The funny thing was that Stacy had not seen MJ part 1, so when we walked out of the theater, she confessed that it made very little sense. We caught it while Tara was at a party with some old elementary school friends in redwood shores. Tara was a little mad because she's really the one that's into this, not us. We had hoped to see SPECTRE but because of the timing, the available showings were sold out.
