Dark Jedi Master 007 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 The gf texted me and said shes checking times for MJ1. I'm not trying to see it right now honestly. Is it true theres barely any action? (I'd prefer someone answer who doesn't have a Hunger Games avatar please haha) It depends on how you define "too little action." There's 1-2 big action set pieces and 3-4 small ones. That was enough for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it true theres barely any action? (I'd prefer someone answer who doesn't have a Hunger Games avatar please haha) Two real action scenes to be exact, both about 5 minutes. But hey, you can always negotiate. Since there's not much action in the movie, can she make up the action-loss to you later? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfirebird2008 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 The gf texted me and said shes checking times for MJ1. I'm not trying to see it right now honestly. Is it true theres barely any action? (I'd prefer someone answer who doesn't have a Hunger Games avatar please haha) I saw it this afternoon and there isn't much action. It's mostly a political drama. I happen to like this because the games aspect of the first two movies was far from my favorite aspect of the story. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jandrew Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 That Florida State game. Never has a team deserved to lose so many games won in a season as this year's Seminoles. Hush chil' ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MovieMan89 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 MJ1 is by far the shortest of the 3 though. From the end of trailers to the beginning of the credits was only about 110 minutes I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the end of trailers to the beginning of the credits was only about 110 minutes I believe. So basically the length of the dwarf dinner scene in AUJ then (or at least how long that scene felt like) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuardiaStar Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 The more you defend this movie, the more I belive you don't like it as much as you say No. If I hadn't liked it as much I wouldn't even be thinking about it. I'm more upset that I won't be able to see it until next weekend to show the rest of my family. I'm frustrated to the fact I wish more people could see how good it was. Feel free to read my review, I felt it was kind of a combination of Fury and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. It's just been slightly discouraging being on this thread anyway..

MovieMan89 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 The film seemed much longer, imo. I thought it went pretty fast, especially since there really is under 15 minutes of action stuff. It went lightyears faster than reading the first half of that book. That was like a miserable 3 months process for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, FSU doesn't deserve to be above either Baylor, TCU or OSU. They're lucky ACC is in complete shambles this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuardiaStar Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) My review: *Spoilers This movie was one hell of a emotional roller coaster ride.. What comes to mind is a combination of the bravado from Fury, and the stance of unity from Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. While I know the claim about a lack of action, in a way itself it makes up with glued to your edge scenes and dialogue. Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss nailed and made this entire movie. She should be nominated for an Oscar imo. There isn't one damn weak link in this movie, in terms of actors. The people who loved Dawn of the Planet of the Apes or the ones who were captivated by Fury, could find something to love with Mockingjay. The Hunger Games has changed for me in a lot of ways, excuse my language but a big mindfuck. I've been emotionally compromised. It brings you into Katniss's world and you see the true pain that lies within her, you can feel it and it's almost transparent while there are little minor slight bits of comedy sort of a black comedy feel but well done as maybe a form of levity (the audience laughed at some scenes meant to be humorous) but overall it's consistent with it's tone, it doesn't become a mess of a film. The way you were brought in they leave you there almost the same way but by the end you're caught in the line, and you'll be left with something even more especially if you came in with little to no expectations. My anticipation was killing me in the waiting hours, but walking in I didn't try to expect too much but be overjoyed at the fact I had gotten to see it. My mind is a mess of things however, this will definitely require a second viewing. My heart was about to jump and rip out of my chest, I've never had myself in this kind of state before. The Hanging Tree is The Hunger Games's new anthem. It broke away from their previous mold, and it just might surprise you. In terms of build-up, it was executed perfectly. To be honest, I didn't feel the scenes dragged on too long at all. I think there was always something happening to keep the story running, but paced out where there wasn't too much at once. It's bold, it has a lot of heart in many ways than one and it is truly grim. It takes your mind to an incredible new place. You learn to grow to care more intimately about the rebellion, the upcoming war. It's also very emotionally draining. Shit, I'm surprised by how impactful this movie is. This is the Hunger Games movie you've been waiting for. I give this an A Right after I saw the movie..
