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 could never get into the books in general (first person doesn't really work for me, I can get drawn into first person stories). But the movies are awesome. And I'm really excited. This looks awesome. From what I've heard though, there are things in the last book that I hope make more sense in the movie (and dividing it in half hopefully gives them the space to do that).

I'm the same. I'm rather iffy when it comes to first-person narratives, and there are few that I have actually liked and kept me engaged with the storytelling. With these books, they were a fast read, but were very limiting to what was happening, which shouldn't be the case especially when you're focusing on an uprising of a revolution in a dystopian world.

But the films have done a good job with going around that, starting from the first movie when we saw what was happening in the Districts during the Games, like District 11 rioting after Rue's death. That was a pleasant surprise and I'm hoping they keep up with it.
