Movie Review: Mockingjay Part One

by Amera Attalah   The newly released movie, Mockingjay Part One, is part of the original Hunger Games series, which includes the second part, Catching Fire. They all are book-based movies and a continuous series that ends when Mockingjay Part Two is released. In my opinion, this is a great movie, but only if you have watched the other two movies that this movie falls back on. It has a great cliffhanger at the end and includes a lot of action that will keep you at the edge of your seat.
