The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2
With the nation of Panem in a full scale war, Katniss confronts President Snow in the final showdown. Teamed with a group of her closest friends – including Gale, Finnick, and Peeta – Katniss goes off on a mission with the unit from District 13 as they risk their lives to stage an assassination attempt on President Snow who has become increasingly obsessed with destroying her. The mortal traps, enemies, and moral choices that await Katniss will challenge her more than any arena she faced in The Hunger Games.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
It's not a bad film at all it just doesn't match up to the awesomeness of the first two. The whole District 13 thing, after awhile, got boring and dry, but it wasn't all the movie. They tried to make a Hunger Games doppelganger to please fans and I will say that it did well. A couple of character deaths made it sad but good. Snow was finally finished buy then Coin decided to step in and do exactly what they shouldn't have, so she dies. It kind of ends in a little mess, Katniss screws everything up and other people clean it up for her. But it's not bad despite what I previously said.
Great casting but you just have you go about the whole movie killing off the characters until there are only a few left. Why? What's wrong couldn't afford to keep the actors? Maybe you should have got rid of the coffee machine in the staff room instead! Making Peeta go insane made me dislike him as a character. I thought he was going to jump up and attack Katniss every few scenes! Prim should not have died. Finick should not have died, and in the scene that he died you were trying to create tension? You could have created enough of that if it was a close call! And besides them all DYING there were several mistakes through the movie too! This movie was basically crap apart from the last five minuets!
I've mixed feelings about this, but they're mostly negative. The first two were alright, then they decided to pull a Battle Royale 2 (though Battle Royale 2 actually pulled it off, so far nothing else has come close) for the final book. The Twilight franchise was awful to begin with, The Hobbit franchise I could see making two solid movies (not three mediocre ones), and now The Hunger Games. The first part was pretty weak, and I did not enjoy it that much. At least after seeing the first part of the Battle Royale 2: Requiem finale I knew there was going to be TONS more to look forward to, but for this I just do not see it being anything better than a disappointment. The third book was the weakest too, basically almost a desperate attempt to make it as thrilling as the others, which I find really plausible for the movie to do too. Also, some certain characters are going to die, though a lot of them, one in particular, has had little to no development (but that's not the movies' fault, the books were the same way) which will make their death very awkward for me. I'm already picturing myself in the theater looking around while on the screen the character's death is taking a lot of screen time and I'm thinking "This really has no impact on me whatsoever ". Right now the only thing going for it is that it's got decent actors. But, then again, looking at Fant4stic, this could still It is really bad.
I am not going to pull apart this film bit for bit because frankly there are just way too many flaws in this film. A circus of flaws, really. But as a viewer who never read the books and who became hooked on the first film during a chance viewing, I will say, shame on whoever allowed this film to be made. And shame on me for watching it.Let me just say for those who haven't seen it - nothing actually happens in this film. The previous 3 films (well mainly 1 & 2) lay a solid framework and create a brutal, yet very believable reality. By the end of the 2nd film you cannot help but stand in the corner of Everdeen and co and watch on as they work to bring down the crushing authority responsible for the 'games'. But unfortunately the director does not want us to experience this triumph. Film 3 is a bunch of filler, whilst film 4 (Mockingjay Part 2) is simply a lullaby.There is no redemption for the majority of the characters. Character arcs get completely left out. Wars happen that you never actually see happen. Fear is ongoing (apparently) but all you ever see is Donald Sutherland on a Television screen spouting his mantra. The Hunger Games/Catching Fire build up tremendous momentum.. but the Mockingjay films are there to sap it all up. But be careful, because this film will sap you up too.
