Review

“The Chairman” – Well this movie has really confused me, while I think it is a better than average movie I think it is the worse movie in the series. Even though most people didn’t appreciate Mockingjay Part 1, I really enjoyed it as a political thriller and I would advise everyone to see Part 1 before this movie. Francis Lawrence really needed some assistance on the filming of the action scenes, too much shaking cam and indistinguishable fighting.

Somewhere between these two movies is an excellent movie and probably the a third installment to rival The Return of the King (blasphemy I hear in the back of the room….lol).

I was braced before seeing the movie by my wife as to important moments (three in particular) to look out for and while I wont mention them, those moments fell flat on its face. This is a must see if only to conclude  your the series if you are a fan. Wait a week to avoid the rush. 6.5/10

“Cathy S (Guest Reviewer)” – Coming from someone hasn’t read the books and has relied on the movies alone to tell the story, I thought overall it was nail biting and thoroughly enjoyable end!

An unusual mix of being kept on the edge of your seat but at the same time taking in beautiful scenes and settings. The love triangle also didn’t disappoint, and keeps you guessing all the way until the end.

Without giving to much away, my only criticism would be the end did feel a little rushed and had a ‘seen-it-in-many-movies-before’ closing scene. But other than that – loved it! 7/10

Let us have your thoughts on the movie, do you agree or disagree with the review? And while you are at it, have a look at any of previous reviews.
