Following her rescue from the devastating Quarter Quell, Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) awakes in the complex beneath the supposedly destroyed District 13. Her home, District 12, has been reduced to rubble, and Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) is now the brainwashed captive of President Snow (Donald Sutherland). At the same time, Katniss also learns about a secret rebellion spreading throughout all of Panem -- a rebellion that will place her at the center of a plot to turn the tables on Snow.

Critics Consensus

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 sets up the franchise finale with a penultimate chapter loaded with solid performances and smart political subtext, though it comes up short on the action front.

Jordan Hoffman

Esquire Magazine

The meat of this franchise seems more in line with Edward Bernays than any fantasy or sci-fi author. This latest edition takes public relations to its bloodiest extreme.

Shadow and Act

This is certainly a film adults can get into. The explosions, propaganda techniques, and unrest are a reminder of a history not entirely out of reach; a world and society all too realistic. for many living today.

It may be the franchise's third movie, but it plays like its 'Empire Strikes Back.'

... director Francis Lawrence... and screenwriters Peter Craig and Danny Strong turn out a surprisingly engaging film about rebellion, propaganda, media, and the emotional and psychological scars of war...

Set aside criticisms about dividing the final film. Mockingjay Part 1 is a serviceable extrapolation of the series' interest in personal vs public responsibility & PTSD. The adult cast is stacked, though dir Lawrence's focus is clearly action over actors

Rated: 3.5/5

Keith & the Movies

There are enjoyable moments, good characters, strong performances, and the knowledge that this is just a set-up to what should be an action-packed final film. But as a single standalone movie, I was definitely hoping for more.

Rated: 3/5

I thought it was pretty good. Could’ve been better but it’s hard to make a bad hunger games movie.

The audacity to put such little action in this movie. Fair share of cringeworthy scenes and writing. Mockingjay Part 1 is just forgettable.

While it still keeps the thrilling action and fantastic CGI that the first two films had, the film makes me wonder in most parts if this is even the Hunger Games anymore.

Filme: Jogos Vorazes – A Chama da Esperança part 1 @jogos_vorazes_official @jogos_vorazes #jogosvorazes Assistido: 5-4-24 Elenco: @1jnnf @jhutch1992 @liamhemsworth @elizabethbanks @woodyharrelson @Willowshields @stanleytucci @juliannemoore @mrsamclaflin @jenamalone Philip Hoffman, Donald Sutherland, @jfreewright @mahershalaali @patinamiller @nataliedormer Modelo: #aventura #ação #ficção Duração: 2h Ano: 2014 Minha opinião: Uma trilogia em 4 filmes, pois o 3º é em duas partes. 1º Jogos Vorazes (2012), Em Chamas (2013), A Esperança parte 1 (2014), A Esperança parte 2 (2015). E agora temos uma nova trilogia se formando que conta a estória antes e da criação dos Jogos Vorazes e do inicio do presidente Snow. Neste 3º e 4º acredito que não era necessário 2. Poderia ter terminado com apenas e seria muito melhor. Este 3º filme foi o pior de todos, monótono, devagar e que poderia descartar. Temos aqui a presidente dos rebeldes Alma Coin que persuade Katniss para ser a cara da revolução, estava fase toma parte do filme, pois ela acha que não é a pessoa certa, mas acaba aceitando depois de ver as atrocidades que o exercito tem feito. E ela vai de equipe em equipe motivando. Até que chega o momento que dizem para ela ser apenas o rosto bonito da rebelião. Sem muita ação e muito bate-papo, frustrante. Termina este filme. Além de Snow declarar guerra mais brutal sobre os rebeldes e o povo. Além de usarem Peeta como bode expiatório. Roteiro e enredo quase parando. Um filme tedioso. Vale apena assistir? Pode pular. Nota: 3

The story is not bad (after all, it's from a decent book), but Jennifer Lawrence is such a bad actress that it kinda ruins the whole thing.
