I was surprised, but instead of a lazy cash grab this was a very good movie. It respects the universe it’s in and doesn’t break cannon, the characters are interesting and engaging, the plot was easy to follow and I didn’t immediately notice any problems with it that took me out of the movie. I rolled my eyes at the katniss “callback,” but otherwise had a good time with it. 8/10.
