Mockingjay.net Staff Trailer Reactions

To help make us feel better about our pitiful predictions made yesterday, here are our reactions to the trailer that debuted this morning on Yahoo! Movies:

Kimmy: The main thing that stood out to me with this trailer was how amazingly well the actors (Jennifer Lawrence & Willow Shields especially) convey the urgent horrible situation that is happening – how it really is life or death. The way Jennifer says ‘Don’t let them starve,’ and the way Willow Shields portrays Prim in the reaping – it’s just heart – wrenching. I am completely okay with how they’ll be dealing with the Mockingjay pin, and I love the change that it will be snuck into the games. This trailer has proved to me that I’m going to be sobbing throughout the entire movie when I see it!

Crystal: I had just come back from taking my kids to school and sat down to prep for the #HungerGames50 stuff when I saw on Twitter that Yahoo! had actually debuted a new trailer instead of an announcement of their giveaway. I was totally floored and as I watched it tears came to my eyes when Katniss says goodbye to Gale and then it cuts to the Capitol and Caesar. It flashes by so quickly, yet with the music, Caesar’s scream, and the audience cheering, it just captures the helplessness Katniss feels with such intensity and emotion. I actually liked this one better than the first one. On the humorous side, I did love Effie’s “I just love that.” reaction to President’s Snow’s “Happy Hunger Games!” That is just so Effie Trinket.

Merri: WOW! The trailer was absolutely amazing! That sneak peek on ET last night did show a lot of the trailer, more than I would have thought they would but, just, WOW! The thing that really stuck out to me this time is Willow Shields’ acting! When Katniss takes Prim’s place and she screams, it’s absolutely heart-wrenching. I know this scene was in the sneak peek but again, when Katniss tells Gale to make sure they don’t starve! There is so much raw emotion put into it, Jennifer’s acting is just so perfect. Honestly, at this rate, I don’t see how they could go wrong with the movie. I was surprised I didn’t cry this time though having cried for the last trailer…

Ciara: To be honest I was a little underwhelmed. I really was expecting to see an action packed trailer that would draw in the uninitiated. But two things were absolutely perfect here: 1. Jennifer Lawrence 2. Willow Shields. The chemistry between the two of them is just so wonderful and we all know how important that was to get right. The delivery of “Whatever you do Gale don’t let them starve.” really tugged on the heart strings and completely summed up Gale and Katniss’ friendship. There is one thing I’m positive I have 100% faith in and it’s Jennifer Lawrence. Also got excited at glimpses of President Snow and Katniss and Peeta in the elevator… but no matter how many times I listen, Caesar Flickerman still sounds like he’s saying: “Let the 17 Gorillas FIGHT!” which might make me excited in different circumstances but it’s not something I associate with The Hunger Games.

Beth: I love the part where Prim screams, “no, no, no” but it doesn’t look like it’s at the reaping. I’m thinking maybe that’s the “final goodbye” scene before Katniss has to get on the train for the Capitol. Katniss looks stunning with her hair put up when she’s introduced as the girl on fire, and I can’t wait to see all of the fashion in action. Seeing Katniss and Peeta riding up in the elevator gave me butterflies because I just love seeing them on screen together. AND CINNA! When they showed the Mockingjay and he held his finger up to his lips to be quiet… holy damn. Gave me chills. Perfect ending to the trailer.
