The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 (2015)

Such a frustrating disappointment

It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

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.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

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.

The film picks up where the other one leaves off. Again, there is no recap. This film answers the questions we had at the end of the last film. "What will happen to Peeta (Josh Hutcherson)? And more important, Who will Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) end up with, because this is also a love story. It isn't long before the Mockingjay "goes rogue" as the film pays homage to Orwell if I recall by high school book reports. What is important in this film is that the end does not leave you hanging, you have closure.I enjoyed the film as Katniss spouted out memorable lines as all civilian killing is personal. They are our family. Philip Seymour Hoffman died while making this film. His role was reduced to a few head shots and limit lines. I heard they were going to use CG to create his character. If they did, I couldn't tell. Good final film.Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity.

I watched the first two installments of HG during a long flight. They were OK as light entertainment even for somebody like me, outside the target audience. Obviously I did not read the novel (nor have I any interest in reading it) but I just wanted to see how the story ends.Both Mockingjay parts were on TV lately. Predictably, they provided the awful ending of yet another trilogy, (stretched into four movies, for monetary reasons). This movie was particularly bad for the awful script that skipped all the dramatic key moments in favor of padding with fight, explosions and CGI.Katniss is in a resistance team known as the Star Squad, composed of Gale, Peeta and other disposable members. She secretly plans to kill evil president Snow, thus dragging her team into the most dangerous zone of the Capitol and getting almost everybody killed.Three quarters of this very long movie are just Kat and team fighting and slowly advancing in the city. Some team members die, more fighting and more casualties etc... Finally, Kat gets close enough to Snow's palace and her plan is just walking in with other refugees, wearing no disguise whatsoever - brilliant!However, the palace gets bombed and Kat knocked out, just after having caught a glimpse of her sister. When Kat wakes up the was is over and the sister is dead. So the two most important events of the movie take place off screen, while the time on screen is filled by silly fighting....After a minute of conversation with Snow, held captive before his execution, Kat is convinced that president Coin is corrupted and must be eliminated, which she does. She moves back to her District with Peeta, they have children and live happily ever after - because Gale knew that the bombing was planned by Coin, so he was also evil, or something to that effect. Even the "triangle" part of the plot was disposed off with a line of dialogue and 20 second on screen...

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.
