Lawrence definitely did make the movies so worthwhile with her performance. That makes sense, and I get what you mean -- I felt a little like that reading the book too, and I agree that that was something the movie did improve on.

I've never been a great fan of the books, but have liked the films far better because of Jennifer Lawrence's portrayal. Not to mention, the film ending "felt" more joyous because we weren't inside Katniss' thoughts which seemed so... void and dismal. I understand her sorrow (anyone who had to live through that...) but was sad that I, as a reader, didn't feel like she'd healed any.

Then I'd probably feel more like you do, and could have enjoyed these last two movies without caring that they were sub-par compared to the last two. They really aren't terrible, I just had such high standards because I was a fan. :P Haha, yeah it's definitely no Martian or Ant-Man!

Overall, I just don't care enough about the movies like I do for Marvel or other franchises. They are good, but not amazing. Now I am ranting about the franchise, not the movies. lol Anyway, it's no Martian or Ant-Man, but I had fun with it. Plus, I think my expectations were always lower than others. Great review though!<br /><br />-JamesJames the Reviewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00165238905288033483noreply@blogger.com
