whoops late review coz i watched it 2-3 days ago on the tv at midnight. it was like a theatre experience. katniss may not be pregnant but this movie DELIVERED. admittedly, the first half of the mockingjay book is a drag, but this movie somehow made it interesting asf. and ohmygod, can we talk abt the production design of district 13? i just imagined a drab gray place but the set designers said NOPE and somehow made it more majestic and jaw-dropping than i thought it would be. i also love the additions in the movie, like effie trinket coming back, and katniss actually being involved in the victor retrieval heist—that entire sequence was one of the best in the movie. AND HOW COULD I FORGET THE HANGING TREE SONG BRO—when the chorus starts with everyone singing along it was almost chill-inducing and absolutely wonderful. peeta choking katniss was way more brutal in this movie lol i could almost feel it. so the cinematography, the direction, acting, pacing, plot: all perfect. 10/10 deserved fr.
