Movies in McConomy

These are the times in life when it’s all right to hate the Harry Potter franchise. If it hadn’t been for the successful division of the last installment, then there wouldn’t be these other Hollywood franchises following suit and failing. First there was the Twilight franchise, now the Hunger Games, and the Divergent series has yet to come. So I'm going to be honest: it was completely unnecessary in Twilight, and the same goes for The Hunger Games' third installment, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1. This movie just serves as a prolonged lead up to the final installment. It follows Katniss Everdeen (my queen, Jennifer Lawrence) as she prepares to rebel against The Capitol. Because it is only half of the third book, it lacks plot and their signature action sequences. So if you just want to stare at beautiful people that don’t really do much for a couple hours, then this movie is for you. But just be warned, this is an “adventure” movie with very little adventure.
