Wazzup Pilipinas!
Watching the third part of the Hunger Games entitled as Mockingjay Part 1 was a definite thrill as we are all excited to what comes next after the first two parts of the movie, and too excite us further for the upcoming fourth part dubbed as Part 2 of the Mockingjay.
Thanks to Golden Ticket and Astig.ph, many of us were able to watch the movie before the actual play dates ahead of the rest of the crowd. I wanted to post some spoilers already but I made an extreme effort to put it on hold.
The special blocked screening was given an extra value of appreciation when they informed us that there would be a bloggers gathering a few hours before the actual movie. We are very thankful for the extra dinner treat plus giveaways. These perks made the special blocked screening really "special."
Practically all of us got something to bring home with us. The movie was a great treat already. We levelled up further by receiving a few tokens from the many sponsors (namely Racks Megamall, Torch, Great Image Photography, Food Panda, and Regroe) of the special blocked screening.

After the bloggers gathering, everyone proceeded to Cinema 4 to join the throngs of movie goers who came to the screening. Each movie goer got a popcorn and a bottle of Aquabest as they queued in to watch one of the year's most awaited movies. Attendees of the screening had a good time with the program which included awesome raffle prizes from the many sponsors.
I won a free 3R Photo and Portrait session during the bloggers event, and was also told by fellow bloggers that my name was also called during the raffle after the movie but we were not able to claim it afterwards since everyone was already on their way eager to immediately go home. We got home past 2 pm so it goes without saying that we were really dead tired and sleepy already. I woke up late the following morning and forgotten about my early morning event...hehehe. But that's OK since we did enjoy the movie.

Though the movie had some slow scenes, it still made us anticipate on what would be the concluding stories on the fourth installment. I purposely never intended to read the book from which the movie was based so as not to spoil my expectations. Many have said that most movies never made justice to the original stories in the books but our Hollywood directors have their own creative inputs on what they want for their "baby" so it is but normal to see several changes to make the stories more adjusted to the requirements of a mainstream movie.
As usual, Jennifer Lawrence portrays her Kathniss Everdeen role real well. But I can't say the same with the actors that played Peeta Mellark since he looked inappropriate to be a love interest along with the actor that played Gale Hawthorne, though a more likeable match to Kathniss however I didn't see any chemistry between them.
I was more interested on how they will take down President Snow. Now, that would be something to look forward to on the next part of the movie.
Sorry we can't take photos of the actual movie since that would be illegal, and I had my hands full with the pop corn and bottled water so I was not able to take anymore photos during the queuing.. Lol!
See you again soon to watch Part 2 of the Hunger Games: Mockingjay movie!

ReplyDeleteHaha thanks Ross!
ReplyDeleteThis post reminded me to watch the movie in my spare time! I enjoyed the books, so there's a good chance I might like the movie adaptation too.
ReplyDeleteI hope i could watch the movie some other time but the book was really nice and maybe this Mockingjay Part1 would be the same as what in the book! :)
ReplyDeleteWooow! Thank you for this article, it's really informative! Hope to watch it soon! :)
ReplyDeleteI've already watched it! :) it was so good! Can't wait for the part 2 tho :D
ReplyDeleteChills throughout the whole movie, like it couldn't get any better. I'm so stoked for pt. 2! :)
ReplyDeleteI've already seen the movie and it was nice though :) Really had fun watching it. Yaay for part 2! :)
ReplyDeleteI've already seen the movie and it was nice though :) Really had fun watching it. Yaay for part 2! :)
ReplyDeleteBased on the previous movies I guess this would also be fantastic : ) Can't wait to watch it!
ReplyDeleteThe movie was a blast! I'm so excited to see part two and I also want to know how they will take down President Snow since I haven't read the books yet.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to watching this in the big screen because I've watched the first two installments and I fell in love! :D I haven't read a book from the series but I am definitely planning to. Some of my friends told me it was really good and I'm pretty that it really is.
ReplyDeleteI haven't watched the movie yet but I believe that it was good as what my friends had told me. :)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to watch the movie personally! ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping I'd be satisfied with the movie by all the reviews I've read! Hope it's as good as the book!
ReplyDeleteI already watched the movie and I think it's awesome! The plot is so interesting! Great article!
ReplyDeleteI've seen the movie with my friends and it was a good Sci-Fi movie. I can't get the Hanging Tree song stuck out of my head. It's so fantastically amazing I want to watch it all over again. I haven't read the series actually, so I really don't have any idea how this one will end but I'm thrilled for Mockingjay Part 2.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of this kind of movie personally but I think that I will like this movie because it has a great plot just like any other movie. I personally think that the author have many good ideas in his/her mind. I'm looking forward to watch this movie. thank you :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't really read this book nor this series but I do have an idea of the plot. I already watched the first 2 movies of the movie adaptation of the series and I must say that there were, undeniably, changes compared to the book's plot but the changes somehow improved the movie. I am looking forward to watching this movie. Based from what I read from the article, the movie looks incredible and is a must-see. The write-up was pretty good because there were no spoilers mentioned.
ReplyDeleteI think that the movie was spectacular and considering the fact that Mockingjay was one of the most thrilling books of the Hunger Games Trilogy, the actors and the producers were able to put up a production that will surely satisfy what the readers were expecting to see. I hope they will be able to please us again with the part two! :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't watched the movie yet but I'm really looking forward to it! Especially now that it has a ton of good reviews. Hopefully I might be able to watch it!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was watching this movie, I got easily carried away with the scenes and how the actors portrayed their roles. I hope to see the The Mockingjay Part 2 soon! I love how Jennifer Lawrence got to be consistent in her character. I hope that The Mockingjay Part 2 will be the last because tickets are expensive. Hands down to Suzanne Collins! :)
ReplyDeleteThis article makes me want to watch it even though I haven't read the book.
ReplyDeletePutting a cat in the dogs would be the feeling if you'd watch this movie. You'd really feel you are out of your world, once you watch it
ReplyDeleteThank you for this article yay I want to watch the movir nooow
ReplyDeleteI finished reading the book and it is really awesome. And I hope that there will be less changes in the movie just like in hunger games and catching fire.
