One part I didn't like..

I overall enjoyed the movie, although not as much as the ones before it. But I am tired of scenes in a lot of action movies where there is some evacuation or where a group is running away and then the kid forgets something and runs back in to get it and the The hero has to run and save them, risking a whole bunch of lives for something like a cat or a toy. It's a tiresome plot and one in a movie of this stature I wouldn't expect. I'm not here to trash the movie, just that scene lol. I've seen it too many times in movies and it annoys me.

While seeing the same type of situation too many times can be distracting this is a
standard device to up the suspense. The audience knows that the hero will survive
but it's still suspenseful. It's only Katniss, Gale and Prim who are at risk and the
scene reinforces the close relationship among those three. What kind of a hero would
Katniss be if she stayed back and hoped for the best.

You should see Alien movies to see how annoying this can be.
