From The Good, The Bad And The Ugly.Ca, Sneak Peek "the good, the bad and the ugly" in director Francis Lawrence' "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay-Part 1", starring Jennifer Lawrence:
Michael Stevens for "The Good" :
"Mockingjay" has a few interesting CG action sequences.
The late Philip Seymour Hoffman delivers an easy-going, good-natured last film performance...
Jennifer Lawrence as 'Katniss' makes emotional use of her extreme close-ups...
Julianne Moore is lovely as white-haired 'President Alma Coin' and Natalie Dormer as 'Cressida', cuts a fearsome figure as part of a 'propaganda' film crew.
Graf Orlok for "The Bad":
I admit I may have previously caught a 'glimpse' of those Jennifer Lawrence 'cloud' images on the internet.
Sure Katniss gets demonically mad now and again, her porcelain face turning into a leather mask with glazed eyes, staring here, there and everywhere...
Aside from a few generic action sequences with a multitude of extras...
...some unecessarily brutal executions...
...and pretty Jennifer Lawrence running through a gamut of emotions, with the camera focusing so close on her face, you could swear you were sitting in on a nasal endoscopy, this movie did not do it for me..
Hate to say it, but this movie is all talk and no action. Just a set up for "The Hunger Games: Meh- Part 2...
