Mockingjay (Part 1) Official Trailer

I didn't particularly care for the last book, but the films have added a little more substance to what is happening within that world and the other characters that I think I'll end up liking what they do, at least for the first part.

I'm really excited for the final movies, I think that it's going to work a LOT better in movie format because the book was kind of struggling by then with keeping everything as solely Katniss's POV. That worked well for the first book, but by the end a lot seemed to be rushed through, trying to cover a revolution through the limited POV of one character who was being used as a figurehead just didn't always work

Very true. The last movie kept a good balance of expanding the perspective but at the same time hiding things from us that Katniss didn't know in order to keep the ending successful. I think they'll be able to do the same this time.

That's what I appreciate about the films, they enhance the world much better than the books did, allowing us to see different perspectives than just with Katniss. And now that the revolution is happening, we actually need to see it occurring rather than only hear about it after the fact. We need to see how it affects not just Katniss, but others around her.
