[Show spoiler]All those YouTube movie guys are like that, every single one of them. They are also kind of losers in my book, they can't even get a real job.

I doubt he would be wrong or lie but I'm willing to bet the previews and trailers are totally twisted.

Definitely, but not one that's fought on a battlefield. It plays out much more like media warfare. It's certainly a different take on sci-fi action movies.

I know you edited that.

By the way, I've gotten used to hearing that guy's voice in so many trailers and commercials for this series, lol.

[Show spoiler]It seems that those are the real jobs for alot of guys. Seeing how they probably make more doing that then a real life job.

That's good to hear! Can't wait for it. So does the end of part 1 piss you off as Jennifer said it would?

Oh, you caught me!

Yep. And you can hear him next year as well in the thrilling finale of the series! Bring the tissues for all the feels!

General consensus...boring and padded out to stretch it into two movies, fail. There is no need for two movies.
I trust the Schmoes more than just about anyone else doing reviews online and certainly more than those twerps.

USA Today also called it the best of the 3 films and gave Mockingjay 3 1/2 out of 4 stars.

Yeah, I posted that review a page or two back. But mostly the only critic that I trust is myself.

Since I've read the book twice, I have a pretty good idea what is going to happen. I am still interested in seeing what A.O. Scott has to say about it (assuming he's reviewing it for the NYTimes; if not, then probably Manola Darghis who is also good).

I'll probably go early Friday afternoon.

There's like a 15 second clip of Jennifer singing The Hanging Tree on YouTube.

Wow...it's obvious that someone was using a phone to record that in a theater.

I think that was taken from when they had the Yahoo premiere. They played the song during the lead up to the premiere starting.

Great Movie! Just got back from seeing it. It is the best one so far and it should open pretty big.

So it seems people are split. You either love it. Like some people posted here. Or don't like the few YouTube "reviews" posted.

Okay. So i guess the big question I should ask is: With the way it ends and sets up the final movie. Does it make you even more excited for the next and finale movie in the series?

Also did the end of the movie piss you off? because that's something Jennifer has been quoted as saying. That the end of the movie will piss you off.

I haven't seen it, but I always end up frustrated by split movies: "Another year, arrggghh."

I'm sure that's how I'm going to feel. But it might even be more depending on where it ends. Like if it ends on a cliffhanger and something is just about to happen, and then hard cut to black. To be continued in Mockingjay Part 2 2015. I'll be like NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
