Kid reviews for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1

It was a great movie! There was a lot of killing scenes, and they show dead people covered in blood at some point. I think the most tingling scene was when Peeta choked Katniss...It was very surprising if you didn't read the book. I think people absolutely should read the the books first! It makes all the difference!!!!! I think that there is some things that some kids can NOT handle, but some kids could. I don't get scared easily and I covered my eyes in one scene. It is somewhat scary for sure, but some kids can take it. Thanks!

I wouldn't show this movie to younger kids, especially if they get anxious easily. There are a few shots of bodies, skeletons, and wounds which may alarm a younger audience. There's also one jumpscare, but it doesn't have any scary images. A lot of explosions and gunshots are in this movie. Along with that, there are some disturbing things such as a song about hanging and mentions of torture and murder. I'm no movie critic, but I think that the movie itself did a great job.

Ok, so this is the first PG -13 movie that I have seen in theaters. Two of my best friends had seen it with their families.I went with my mom who had read the all the books. Don't bother watching if you haven't seen the earlier movies in the trilogy (I have). It also helps if you have read the series of books (I have). At first I was really nervous! But the great thing about this movie is that is does not have as much violence compared to the other movies in the series. Being only 10 did make me one of the youngest kids in the theaters. Trust me you will not see many 8-10 kids. It's was a really good movie I thought. I think it requires a mature 10 year old to see a movie like this one. They definitely have to be aware of what's going on. I really can't wait to see part 2 in theaters. I will definitely take my best friends with me next time. In conclusion this is a good movie compared to the book, of course there some small changes. Please make sure your child is ready and aware. Thank you for reading and I hope I gave you some Valuable info about this movie from A 10 year olds perspective!

Loved this movie! There are some disturbing scenes such as *SPOILER* half cremated bodies, crushed skulls, lots of blood, and "criminals" being shot in the head. But otherwise a great movie!

I would recommend this film for kids age 12 and above. This film has a lot of action in it and some of it is violent (intended to be violent or ended up causing injuries). There is a part in the film (SPOILERS) towards the end (around the last half hour) where Katniss rushes into the hospital wing of District 13 and she sees Johanna Mason and Annie Cresta in an extremely bad condition (Johanna more than Annie), after being rescued from The Capitol, which is the result of being tortured by President Snow. Katniss is then ushered into a separate room by Haymitch so she can see Peeta. Once Peeta has locked his eyes on her, he lunges at her throat, tackling her to the ground as he tries to strangle her. It is later learned that he only did this because he had been hijacked (tortured using tracker-jacker venom, which reverses his thoughts, making him think Katniss is a danger to everybody's lives) by President Snow. Johanna's head is shaved, she is having to use a cannula and there are a lot of visible scars all over her body. Annie has no physical damage. It is then shown that Katniss ends up in a neck brace, unable to speak, because of the strangulation. Katniss then gets out of bed and walks along the hallway, only to see Peeta thrashing about and crying in his bed while he is restrained. These particular scenes can be very distressing to younger viewers. There is also a lot of violence (more than the previous films, even though there are no more Games) throughout the whole film, i.e: (MORE SPOILERS) Dozens of Peacekeepers being blown up in a forest in District 7, the main electricity firm for Panem (with dozens of Peacekeepers inside) being blown up by the people of District 5 and a hospital in District 8, full of injured patients from a previous bombing, being bombed, causing the death of most of the survivors from District 8. This installment of the series is definitely more intense than previous films, and I would only recommend it for kids age 12 and above.

By the way, this review might have spoilers................................................................. An amazing movie... Things to watch out for: the 3 "criminals" are shot in the head, but they have black cloth around their head, so its not too bad. *********SPOILER********** At the endish area a certain boy attacks a certain girl violently and tries to strangle her to death (FYI she survives :0 ) You have to watch it doe (though). and in a makeshift hospital in district something or other the paitionts (?) look quite injured. blah, blah, watch it. PS i don't remember any swearing, and 2 brief kisses.

i absolutely loved this movie and thought it was the best so far!! i want next year to come so i can see part 2!!

Can't wait till part two!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mocking Jay part 1 is not very violent at all compared to the first 2 films, the violence is very infrequent and pretty mild. The language is pretty much nonexistant, but still strong themes and death make this good for 13 and up, maybe 12.
