The first film was pretty good. The 2nd slid somewhat off track. This one has completely derailed. All of the excitement of the games is gone. Instead Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) is holed up in with the rebels. Since she’s won her Oscar, they gave her plenty of tear time. She spends most of the movie angry or sad, while the insurgents mold her image to lead the rebellion. The first hint of combat is almost an hour in and less than 2 minutes long. The only other action takes place entirely inside the security of a bunker. This is clearly a setup for the final installment, so it’s best to avoid this one completely.
