Netflix determined the movie for me as a 98% match. I decided to give the movie a thumbs up|thumbs down|neither a thumbs up nor a thumbs down.

Instant Comments:
2: Hehe. so focused on Peeta; to be fair though, she's probably just 16 or so... [16 when the games begin and 18 when it ends]
2: Huh. How is that rose there?
1: Gets to keep her cat.; 2: smile
2: smile. "door opens from inside"
1: "Everyone's either gonna wanna kiss you, kill you, or be you." - Effie
2: hehe. must be funny to be an actor, and have to act out being a bad actor
1: "You know, I like you better, Effie, without all that makeup." "Well, I like you better sober." 10:25PM PT
2: Wow. Just her walking through was such a powerful moment.
1: I will fight (hospital).
1: Damn, there were about a fourth as many soldiers as workers [such a low ratio must be expensive]
1: Unfortunately I don't remember the second movie, but it's possible that Peeta was staged [20240531: meaning Peeta was being used internally by the group to help manipulate Katniss]
1: Though the host is probably loyal to the Capitol... [20240531: I'm not sure how this aligns with previous comment. Perhaps instead of "staged" a better word would have been "placed"]
1: How'd he know she was gonna kiss him? I don't follow.
1: Wow, "The Hanging Tree" song as used in the movie is more interesting. 10:55PM PT
2: Hmm. The broadcast doesn't seem to indicate that he was placed there... 1, 2: "She went back for the cat"
2: "You went back for the cat!?! What were you thinking?" (absolutely; meaningless tension... no feelings as a viewer for the cat)
1: Wow, the Capitol destroyed everything and drops white roses.
2: "He's gonna kill Peeta"
2: Hmm... Gale being part of this volunteer group doesn't make sense. He wouldn't have the experience.
2: Wow. That poison secret about President Snow is... quite a reveal
2: "Did I lose them both tonight?" (I don't remember these movies being so much about the love triangle... and not that I don't think there shouldn't be elements of love, but it seems overdone)
1: Wait, I couldn't hear if she was more sad for Gale or Peeta
1: Wait, so "They let us go" means they were followed, which is not good.
2: Wow. That was intense. The music rose too and I was wearing headphones
1: Lol, for a moment I thought the movie was gonna end with the pan hit.
1: Though, I think it would have been a better end than the way it ended.
1: Dedicated to Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
1: Is this Lorde? [Yes]
1: After the credits, the transformation of the Mockingjay symbol was pretty cool [20240531: The ending of the previous movie also had a similar transformation that might have been a little less dramatic]
1: I read about "The Hanging Tree" lyrics. Interesting. 12:06AM
