10 Movies That Were Just Trailers For Other Movies

4. Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1

The first Hunger Games film was fine but the second one, Catching Fire, saw the franchise hit a real high note. Director Francis Lawrence took the dystopian fiction more seriously and elevated the film's action sequences to craft a truly insightful and entertaining big-budget blockbuster.

So there were all kinds of reasons to be excited for what he would deliver in the final two films of the franchise. Or so audiences thought.

Mockingjay: Part 1 was nothing more than two-hours of complete filler. The most exciting moment in the film is when a dam breaks and even that sequence has no bearing on the narrative or any of the main characters. The plot centers around Katniss coming to terms with her role as the mascot of the resisting districts in the war for Panem, but the film forgets to do much of anything else.

It is the worst offender of the 'split the final book into two films' craze, only existing for the financial gain of the studio. It spends its entire runtime simply reminding viewers that the climax is coming, but not until the next film.
