Why It's Going To Rock: So Far, So Good Both Hunger Games movies so far have been rather excellent, so going on the momentum of the story that's established so far, it's probably safe to assume that the next installment in the on-going saga, which stars Jennifer Lawrence as plucky heroine Katniss Everdeen, whose life seems to consist of being forced to fight in giant arenas, will be awesome too - especially as the narrative drives towards its immensely exciting conclusion. Sure, the last book probably didn't need to be split into two parts, because that's just annoying and is essentially a marketing ploy on behalf of the studios, who have tricked you into thinking that these final movies need to be broken down into smaller segments (WE'RE ONTO YOU!), but what the hell? With a series going as strongly as this one is, it's hard to care - even if poor ol' Philip Seymour Hoffman won't be able to return this time around.
