The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 signaled the end of the movie franchise, and it offers the same kind of excitement that both book and film lovers saw in the first movie.

Mockingjay serves as the final stretch of the Suzanne Collins book series, and taking a cue from Harry Potter, the finale is being adapted to film in two parts. The first was Mockingjay Part 1, which raked in over $291million in box office sales all over the world.

Though the movie ended in what seemed to be a cliffhanger, fans of the movie will take comfort in the fact that a part 2 will be released soon and that it will answer all the questions left in part 1.

At the beginning of the movie, Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) wakes up in what seems to be a hospital bed. Though the lead character seem to have regained all her strength and health back, her mind keeps drifting off to Peeta, who is still missing. Katniss thinks that Peeta could be dead or captured by the Capitol.

Soon enough, Katniss discovers that her actions in the past games have inspired a sort of revolution among members of the Districts, a revolution that resulted in the defeat of several officers working for the Capitol. Mockingjay is actually the nickname given to Katniss, just as when President Snow bans all images or mentions of the term "mockingjay." There is still a chance that the Capitol will maintain its control on the Districts, since the members of the revolutions aren't fully united. The members of the revolution then ask Katniss to lead them in the fight against the Capitol.

The movie showed outstanding action scenes that made the movie exciting and thrilling. The movie mainly focused on the beginning of the revolution, and the next Mockingjay movie will surely offer more of these action scenes. The movie showed how Katniss filmed her propaganda tools, such as videos, to call and rally the Districts.
