The Final Hunger Games Movie Gets A Trailer That Promises An Event Like No Other

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay: Part One is the kind of movie you enjoy when watching, but manages to be more than a bit underwhelming when considering it as a whole afterwards. I'm convinced a primary reason for that is because the whole movie builds up to the idea of forthcoming events of enormous consequence, and they do this build up in an exciting manner, but Part One never really delivers anything of note, ending on a cliffhanger that feels like all that hype was for naught.


Of course, all that build up was for what will go down in Mockingjay: Part Two, due out in November (and, for the first time in the Hunger Games franchise, in Digital 3D, likely to combat the fact that the last Hunger Games film had a more than fantastic final gross that was, admittedly, 20% less than its predecessor), and Lionsgate has dropped a trailer for the final film today that you can watch below.
Damn, there's some really nice shots in this trailer, especially that opening image of what looks to be a wedding of some sort. Mockingjay is the only one of the Hunger Games books I haven't read (though the interwebs have kindly spoiled various plot points and character deaths for me), but what occurs here does look compelling, especially anything involving Donald Sutherland calm but menacing President Snow. He makes for a most worthy foe for Katniss Everdeen, and even if Part One wasn't fully satisfying, I'd be lying through my teeth if I said this newest adventure didn't capture my interest.
