TalesofToday Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Well, look on the bright side, by the end of the third film, the franchise will have grossed nearly $1 billion WW for the price of a single Hunger Games film. Not a bad investment if you ask me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutterbutter Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I do think it's good when a franchise can tell contained stories in each installment so one could conceivably watch any random movie and still be able to follow the basic story going on. However, I have to say that when one watches a sequel without having watched the first and then complains about not knowing what's going on, well, that's not really a legitimate complaint. It's not Part 2's fault that you didn't watch Part 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elcuervo Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Please, don't feed the haters. My point is essentially, that the plot is stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 My point is essentially, that the plot is stupid. This is acceptable. I take back what I said above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonytr87 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Complaining that a sequel wasn't understandable while also not having seen the first movie is like blaming McDonald's because you spilled hot coffee on yourself. It's your fault, not the movie's. At their core, sequels are meant to be seen in conjunction with the original. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mockingjay Raphael Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Mockingjay Raphael, did you end up seeing this yet? Yep, it was not bad, way better than Insurgent for sure, but I thought that the first movie was better, it didn't have any 'mystery' like the maze in the first movie, and I had some problems with some action scenes during the night, in some moments, I couldn't understand what was happening in the screen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you wanting me to send you some free tickets? There were two beautiful shots I thought the movie had. One was when Winston shot himself, you see the silhouette of the kids as they are marching across the sand dune, and the music build to the gunshot, which is followed by silence, and the kids stop abruptly in their steps as well as when they are running during the lightning storm, and the camera pans down on them from above, and you see their group running through the sand, and on the screen, you get the sense of how small they really are 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Winston scene was incredible! Pure tension and with a beautiful and tragic ending, actually, almost every scene in desert was really beautiful to see, it looked like a $120m+ budget in those scenes.... My problem was the night scenes :s Oh, and I have to say that the zombies were incredible! A lot scarier than some zombies from horror movies, I was actually shocked that they made those scary zombies in a movie for teens....

DAJK Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I hate zombies, that's the thing that I most fear in life To be honest, I remember especially last year I liked to write zombie stories, not for writing zombie action, but raw character arcs ans survival strategies. Now I just find them entertaining to watch on screen :/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I definitely don't publish anything, but I love to just write (and I do like to think of myself as not bad at it). I usually get to go to writers festivals, but my strengths are usually fictional stories and analysis. I have a movie blog but other than that nobody really reads my writing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
