With nary a game being played, the film is pretty much just overly drawn out scenes of Katniss Everdeen going from place to place looking horrified at the bleak world around her. It's few action sequences lack the intensity of the first two films while the dramatic arcs feel padded with pointless filler dialogue, I presume mostly to fill up time to chop the book into two films. Thankfully it's littered with great performances embedded into this fascinating world that is lessened by it's unfortunate bland execution.

I've been watching this film series recently and I've been liking each one more and more. I wasn't too impressed with the first two, but this one has some dramatic elements going for it which the two previous were lacking. I was actually glad there were no games in this one. A HG in every film would have grown tiresome. I never felt anything for Katniss & Peeta's relationship till this one. It was really just a nice change of pace.
