Francis Lawrence deserves a lotta recognition for what he’s brought for the Hunger Games franchise since Catching Fire. He made such tremendous effort in his care and level of directing throughout the films

So tired of people downplaying and dismissing these movies. THG is probably one of the most solid franchises out there – every movie in this series is so well-crafted and compelling. I will never understand why so many people sleep on the hunger games.
