Just came back from the Mockingjay and it's one of the most drawn out and frustrating movies I've ever seen. I haven't read the books but it seems splitting the final book into two movies was a mistake. Also, nothing happens that couldn't have been done in 20 minutes or less, no need for a 140 minute movie. Also, way to give away the one and ONLY scene where the MC is proactive and semi-competent in the trailers! Donald Sutherland saved the movie for me, though.

This movie did a piss poor job of letting me know Finnick and Gale were two different people until the very end when they're on screen together. Its been a year since the last Hunger Games, guys, spend five seconds reminding audiences who the characters are.

I thought the fact that they were played by different actors was a pretty good indicator that they weren't the same character. Seriously though, do you think they look that much alike? I feel like Finnick's actor has a pretty distinctive face.

Its mostly than I didn't expect them to be two different people and they were never on-screen together until the end of the movie, so it never registered that they were two different people. I actually spent a good two minutes wondering why Gale was making the prop when they said he volunteered to rescue Peeta.

I can't imagine this is a complaint for many people and they certainly shouldn't have to expect to have to explain who the characters are, especially two of the male leads, in the third movie of a four-movie series.

Like I said, its been a year since I've seen the second one and two years since I've seen the first. Both guys are of the same smoldering Twilight type so its very easy for someone who's not paying close attention to assume they're the same person.

They look, sound, and act completely different from one another.

He's probably one of the people who couldn't tell Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon apart in The Departed. I thought that Arrested Development made up "face blindness" but it's obviously very real.

Irish Joe is a terrible poster, just ignore him and what he has to say.

If your usual antics don't put you on the spectrum, not recognizing faces should.
