The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 (Francis Lawrence, 2014)

The teen rebellion parable grinds on towards its inevitable conclusion with the weakest instalment thus far in the series. The heroine Katniss is now stuck as the reluctant figurehead of the burgeoning uprising against the tyrannical state and gets to do little else than mope and cry about her lot for the duration of an astonishing two hours. It's complete franchise-milking filler en route to the final showdown between her and Donald Sutherland's baddie President on a scale of brazenness that even The Hobbit films balked at, and the attempt to flesh out the plot with politics instead of non-stop violence, while in itself a welcome break, is scant consolation for the overall air of the saga kicking its heels.
