Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1

Part 1 has the unenviable job of being mostly set-up for the final conclusion to come in part 2, but still set up things and move things along for the conflict between the districts and the capital. Going by that yard stick, Part 1 was okay, maybe a tad slow, a tad showy in the acting, purposefully so. The script lumbers along, with some action tossed in to keep the subwoofers going, some introspective dialogue here and there. So, it's almost unfair to really grade it until I see part 2 to see how the whole thing comes together.

For now, I give part 1 2.75 stars, or a grade of B-.
