The adaptation of the final book in The Hunger Games franchise has inevitably been split into two halves, which means that The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part I is half a story, and the least interesting half. But given the inevitability of its existence, the movie is about as much as you can hope for if not more, which still may be less than what you’re hoping for.
